Today we join Palestinians in Gaza, Palestine and around the world in honoring the memory of Refaat Alareer, the professor, activist, writer, poet, martyr and voice of truth, who was assassinated by the zionist entity two years ago on December 6, 2023 during the ongoing genocide.

From Gaza, the First Intifada spread to the West Bank, and then on to every corner of historic Palestine. Over the course of the next six years from 1987-1993, the First Intifada was led by the Palestinian masses, who not only took to the streets to protest and resist the occupation, but also formed local committees to organize popular education when schools shut down and coordinated general strikes, economic boycotts of israeli goods and the withholding of taxes to the occupation. Women’s organizations, youth and students and labor unions in particular took a leading role in these committees.

Today the Intifada continues in the face of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, ongoing annexation and aggression in the West Bank, and 77 years of the ongoing Nakba. Despite the horrors the US-backed zionist entity has brought upon our people, Palestinians continue to resist and resist and resist: From Beit Lahia to Beit Lahm, from Khan Younis to Tulkarem, from Al-Quds to Nablus, from Rafah to Jenin, from the occupied interior to the camps, to everywhere Palestinians are living in exile. Until liberation and return within our lifetime, Palestine will continue to resist.

The collective hunger strike was launched 43 days ago by Qesser Zuhrah and Amu Gib. Since then Heba Muraisi, Jon Cink, Tueta Hoxha, Kamran Ahmed, Lewie Chiaramello and Umer Khalid have joined. Their hunger strike is the largest strike in the UK in over 40 years. Five of the hunger strikers have already been hospitalized. Some are at risk of imminent death. All of them in critical condition.

From the UK to Palestine, from the Filton 24 to Marwan Barghouti to Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya to the 10,000 Palestinians in the occupation’s dungeons, the struggle of our prisoners is a global struggle against zionism, imperialism and injustice.

As the UK hunger strikers continue to resist within the prison walls, join Within Our Lifetime and Writers Against the War in Gaza to respond to the global call to action to mobilize outside UK embassies and consulates and uplift the following demands: Free the Filton 24! Free all Palestinian prisoners! End the repression! Shut down Elbit! De-proscribe Palestine Action.
