TODAY: The Israeli occupation authorities have placed Israeli flags along hundreds of kilometers of roads across the West Bank.
In protest, members of Black Rose Action have sprayed red paint on Israeli flags placed at the entrance of the Palestinian city of Rawabi.
Read the full statement released by the group:
"Israel is attempting to erase Palestine and its people through genocide and ethnic cleansing. No number of Israeli flags will cover the fact that this land is Palestine.
The Israeli colonial project has faced no sanctions and continues to receive support for the genocide it is committing in Gaza. It has subsequently expanded its campaign of extermination to the West Bank and Lebanon using the same genocidal blueprint they used in Gaza, displacing tens of thousands of people from the Northern West Bank and hundreds of thousands from Southern Lebanon. Thet are intentionally and systematically destroying civilian infrastructure so that the displaced have no where to return to. Settler terror gangs are rampaging through Palestinian communities in the West Bank, directly aided by the occupation forces. The colonial project used this tactic before, when they expelled the majority of the population from the areas they occupied in 1948 and destroyed over 500 Palestinian villages for this same purpose. When such criminal actions are tolerated and even supported, they expand.
We, Black Rose Action, call on people of conscience to take action and raise their voices for freedom in Palestine. We call on people of conscience to heed the Palestinian call to Boycott Divest and Sanction Israel until it complies with the three demands of the BDS Movement:
1. Ending its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantling the Wall
2. Recognizing the fundamental rights of the Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality; and
3. Respecting, protecting, and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN resolution 194.
We encourage activists across the world to participate in direct action campaign, striking where it hurts.
The Empire is afraid.
Make it more afraid."
