“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
This has been the rallying cry of pro-Palestinian activists and advocates, reverberating from not just the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, but across the world – as we catch sight of the unceasing tragedy that epitomizes oppression and injustice towards the Palestinian people. With the continual undertaking of cruel and ruthless wars and ethnic cleansing for decades, most Palestinians fell victim as refugees during the 1947 Nakba and the 2008 and 2014 wars – with thousands of children wounded, injured, and killed.
Albeit being miles away from Palestine, this tribulation underscores our minuscule yet potent roles to withstand the demolition of the foundations of basic human rights and liberty. We, the Mithi Organization, strongly condemn Israel's atrocities against Palestinians, including killings, blocking humanitarian aid, spreading propaganda to further fabricated narratives, and receiving large-scale donations for IDF funding. Since October 7, 37,084 Palestinians have been robbed of their lives; the conflict dating back to 1948. Israeli forces have disguised themselves as aid workers to infiltrate Gaza while pro-Israeli voices continue to dismiss the genocide as mere 'Pallywood propaganda.’
The plight of the Palestinians is an atrocious and vital humanitarian crisis that requires immediate attention and assertive action from communities around the globe, including the Filipino youth. So what can YOUth do? First, stimulate large-scale discourse by utilizing social media platforms to raise awareness as well as share reliable information and resources by using pertinent hashtags like . Second, make informed choices by boycotting companies that continue to support the genocide and call for their divestment. Third, pursue mass action and mobilization through participating in peaceful protests and making donations to Palestinian victims. Most importantly, demand a ceasefire by signing petitions.
These measures reinforce our vehement opposition to Israel’s injustice towards Palestine. Our voice and actions, no matter how small they may seem, can contribute to extensive impact. Collectively, let us foster a generation of stewards of justice equipped with bright minds and brave hearts—onward a future where from the river to the sea, Palestine shall stand unshackled and at liberty.
