The whole world has witnessed the suffering of the thousands of Palestinian families, men, women and children that the inhumane Zionist regime of Israel has subjected to famine, war, pain, and, more recently, to a slow and endless genocide.

The Occupying Power has demonstrated that it respects no limits of any kind by attacking in international waters the “Freedom Flotilla”, a humanitarian mission composed of more than 70 international activists, human rights defenders from 20 countries dedicated to bringing aid to the Palestinian people.

In this regard, the member countries of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA-TCP) strongly condemn this attack against humanitarian solidarity, which is tantamount to an aggression against the millions of human beings who have been aware of and express their support for the Palestinian people in their right to independence, sovereignty and dignity.

The Israeli State continues to flagrantly violate the most elementary norms of International Law, International Humanitarian Law and the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, before the silence and complicity of the Western powers.

ALBA is therefore compelled to call on the international community to repudiate this act of piracy and terrorism and to express its full solidarity with the heroic Palestinians.

Long live Free Palestine!
