People Against Genocide Everywhere PAGE (Get on the same page)
First let me introduce ourselves. We are a small group of workers, Trade Unionists, students, Clergy, and activists, who have come together out of both desire and desperation of the current conditions, to move the struggles to a new level. For 18 months we have taken to the streets, campuses, written and protested where necessary, and yet the Genocide has only gotten worse against the people of Palestine! We call ourselves People Against Genocide Everywhere (PAGE). We ask you reading this to join together with us in stopping the genocide in Palestine
As we march, and chant, and write, and plead, Israel continues to intensify their genocide in Gaza and the Occupied Territories. And as we watch resolution after resolution in the United Nations vetoed by the United States, we see daily, more and more of our Palestinian brothers and sisters slaughtered.
There is an old saying, “Insanity is doing the same things over and over, getting the same results, and doing it again and expecting something different.”
With this Call we are demanding something extraordinarily different; we are demanding that the representatives in the General Assembly of the United Nations override “protocol” and demand a majority vote from the General Assembly to enact Article 42 of the UN Charter and immediately send in UN troops to stop the genocide in Gaza and the Occupied Territories, regardless of the US veto.
We have no illusions about the complexity of global dynamics and recognize that many governments who support the Cease-fire resolutions, support it in words only, knowing that the U.S. will use their position in the Security Council to veto any meaningful resolution to stop the genocide.
What we are calling for is a strategy to materially HINDER business as usual globally by NON-VIOLENTLY PICKETING the Ports, the Israeli embassies and consulates, and if you don't have an Israeli Embassy or Port near you, find a bank near you the supports the Israeli genocide.
The Israeli government has publicly announced what most of us have known for a while, the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza and THEN the Occupied Territories. We are requesting that ALL organizations, individual, and unions focus ALL energies on this in as many countries as possible; not for one day, but until the UN sends in troops to stop the genocide. Don’t change events or timetables but do become part of the leadership in organizing these pickets and marshaling all forces to echo the same demand that can and will have IMMEDIATE consequences for our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Make this the MAIN demand until it happens! we are NOT asking you to subordinate your organization or messaging, but to ELEVATE one clear demand that hopefully will echo around the world, a call to the those in political power in YOUR country to, “Invoke Article 42 of the UN Charter! Deploy armed UN peacekeepers and nations willing to assist under UN leadership into Gaza and the Occupied Territories WITHIN 72 hours!" Imagine the power of that ONE demand, with ONE CONCRETE AND IMMEDIATE ACTION STEP echoing around the world, and materially holding each country’s' "feet to the fire", until troops ARE on the ground in Gaza and the Occupied Territories
The second aspect is to stop shipments of weapons from reaching Israel, by picketing the Ports globally, and NOT just ports that ship weapons from. We are hoping that many Docker Unions will support this movement, honoring the non-violent picket lines at the docks. We are asking are brothers in Organized Labor to give leadership to these pickets, as they have a rich and proud history of setting up successful picket lines. This also gives the Dockers the ability to shelter repercussions by “refusing to cross a picket line”
If the Israeli embassies and consulates are “slowed down for business”, and goods are not flowing as quickly through the ports, this is a direct peril to global capitalism and the military industrial complex on the one hand, and a frightening show of global solidarity on the other hand. This the potential lever for the governments around the world to be forced to be held accountable to DO the right thing, NOT just act angry, speak harshly, and allow the genocide to continue.
They now will be forced to make a choice and now must choose a side. Either of dismantling the power of the Security Council, where their decisions will have real world consequences for the people of Palestine, or complacency with the genocide. They simply can no longer talk of saving Palestine from ethnic cleansing and extermination, while they knowingly allow the Security Council, to docilly accept the US veto, thus giving Israel the green light to continue their genocide. This can no longer be!!
This is not at all taking away the condemnation for the US being the PRIMARY roadblock in sending weapons supporting the genocide, but a strategy of forcing the leaders of the other countries to not be allowed to support Palestine “ in words only”, knowing that their words of support are hollow, but can be said loudly and boldly because they know any resolution of any serious consequence will NEVER happen as long as the US has veto power in the Security Council.
Our goal is to create the material conditions by non-violently hindering “business as usual” at as many Ports and Israeli Embassies and Consulates as possible,
We recognize that these actions will not happen unilaterally across the global spectrum, but we do realize that often “a single spark can start a prairie fire”! If a few countries are successful in their picketing of the Israeli Embassies and Consulates, they may be unsuccessful in picketing of the ports or otherwise be a landlocked country. On the other hand, if in a country or two, Ports are successfully picketed in solidarity with other workers and students, then perhaps those are the “sparks” needed to spread the “prairie fire”. Again, both prongs MUST be done with the clear understanding of having their government join in initiating, or at the least supporting, the resolution by the General Assembly to override the Security Council if need be. And it will need to be!
This whole proposal may sound farfetched, but I ask you, what are the other alternatives?
There is a letter to the Hague Group of UN General Assembly members offering our support if they call for the UN General Assembly to send in UN troops and the supporting armed forced of other UN countries under UN leadership to be on the ground both in the Occupied Territories AND Gaza by a specific date, May 17th. If the General Assembly does not do this, then the one-day action on May 17th will become ongoing global actions, until the UN troops ARE in Palestine confronting and stopping the Israeli military from continuing the genocide. We can be the “feet” when the Hague Group or other countries initiate this action in the General Assembly.
The timeline on this is VERY short, some say impossible, but with Netanyahu and his right-wing Cabinet appearing to have begun their “final solution” for the elimination of Palestine, and the death or displacement of all Palestinians, we objectively have no choice.
See you on May 17th! NO MORE GENOCIDE IN OUR NAME!
Remember " A single spark can start a prairie fire" Be that spark!
