The International Conference in Support of Gaza, known as the "Freedom for Palestine" conference, recently concluded its activities in Istanbul.
The conference focused on condemning the Israeli occupation and its crimes against civilians in Gaza and the West Bank.
It also affirmed the right of resistance to confront any projects aimed at undermining the Palestinian cause.
Initiatives Launched to Support Palestine
During the conference, two initiatives were launched: "Zionism is Racism" and "Resistance is a Right and a Duty." These initiatives aim to raise awareness about the Palestinian cause and garner support for Gaza and its steadfastness.
Global Support for Palestine
The conference brought together intellectuals, political elites, and representatives of popular movements from around the world. They emphasized that the Israeli occupation has failed to criminalize resistance and called for the formation of the "Freedom and Justice for Palestine" alliance to support Gaza.
Workshops on Zionism and Global Danger
The conference included workshops on the topics of "The Racism of the Zionist Idea" and "Zionism as a Global Danger." Experts discussed how Zionism targets the Palestinian identity, persecutes their political identity, and prevents them from establishing their own state.
Conference Objectives and Messages
The conference aimed to shed light on the challenges faced by Palestinians, particularly in Gaza, and to support their rights and freedom. It served as a platform to affirm the Palestinian people's right to confront aggression and displacement imposed by the occupation. The attendance of hundreds from over 50 countries sent a strong message of solidarity with the Palestinian people and their resistance.
Continuing Support for Palestine
The conference emphasized the importance of transforming ideas and initiatives into concrete actions that benefit the Palestinian cause. It called for ongoing efforts to educate people worldwide about the rights of Palestinians and the need for their independent state. The conference initiatives, "Zionism is Racism" and "Resistance is a Right and a Duty," will play a crucial role in future movements.
