The year of 2023 has seen an escalation of the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Israel has continuously engaged in conflicts with Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, leading to a full-scale war on October 7, 2023. This war, initiated by Israel, has resulted in brutal and inhumane actions against civilians, causing over ten thousand deaths in the Gaza Strip. We strongly condemn Israel’s war against the Palestinian people and stand in solidarity with them.

“Since oppression is the root cause of violence, to end all violence — the initial and ongoing violence of the oppressor and the reactive resistance of the oppressed — we must act to end oppression.”

“In fact, the war against the Palestinians has been going on for 75 years, and the left should remember the need for solidarity with resistance struggles against oppression and occupation.”

“We offer our full solidarity to the comrades of the PSOL, of the MES in particular, and to Sâmia Bomfim.”

“Can Atalay is unconstitutionally detained in prison based on politically charged ‘Gezi Park Trials’ after being unjustly convicted of ‘attempting to overthrow the government’.”
