PLM – Partido Lakas ng Masa demands the immediate halt to Israel’s bombing and killing of the population of Gaza, an unfolding genocide, and for immediate peace negotiations towards a political settlement.

The source of the problem in all of Palestine is Israel’s brutal military occupation and apartheid system that was established in 1948.

The neo-fascist Netanyahu government has intensified Israel’s violent repression of Palestinians since taking power earlier this year.

PLM recognises the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people against the illegal and brutal occupation by the neo-fascist Israeli state.

We support the Palestinian people’s right to self-defense and to resist the occupation.

Therefore, we demand that the Philippine government stop sending OFWs to Israel and extend the current temporary ban of OFWs until Israel stops its war on Gaza and declares peace through negotiations.

We also call on the Philippine government to sever diplomatic ties with Israel, similar to the previous policy followed by the Philippines against the apartheid state of South Africa.

We also call for the UN to expel the state of Israel for continuously violating the standing UN Security Council & UN General Assembly resolutions since 1967.

End Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine Now!

Immediate end to the siege and blockade of Gaza!

Free all Palestinian political prisoners!

Establish the right of return of all Palestinian refugees to their homeland!

Boycott Israel!

Down with the neo-fascist Netanyahu regime!
