Greta Thunberg “Among the strongest things that exist is solidarity between struggles”
We reproduce below the full speech of Greta Thunberg in the demonstration with the port workers of Genoa.
“The genocide in Palestine is still ongoing. I repeat, the genocide in Palestine is still ongoing. Israel continues to attack Gaza and the Palestinians every day, using humanitarian aid as a weapon of war. It was warned that 90% of Gaza’s population is suffering from malnutrition.
In recent years, during the genocidal escalation, the world has shown its true colors by continuing to betray the Palestinians day after day. Our leaders, our elected officials, who are supposed to represent us, are failing to do the bare minimum. to fulfill their legal duties and prevent genocide from taking place. They are showing that, each time, they put profits and colonial expansion above the well-being of people and the planet.
Hence It is up to us to rise. And therefore, I want to express on behalf of all humanity, Thanks Genoa. Thank you for being a lighthouse in these difficult times..
Palestinians are asking everyone to stand up, to raise their voices, to not remain silent in the face of injustice, to end our complicity. Because the genocide is happening with the complicity of our governments. It is our institutions and companies with financial, military, social and political support that are carrying out this genocide.
So what we are doing here today is to end our complicity, to send a clear signal to our governments: not in our names. When I was there and saw the videos of Genoa, of the dock workers on strikeI cried a lot. Because it showed me that solidarity is not dead, there is still some sense of humanity. So I wholeheartedly sympathize with you and am proud to call you my favorites and to be by your side today and every step of the way ahead.
He genocide in Palestine It is by no means an isolated event. It is, ultimately, the result of a destructive colonial capitalist and imperialist system that puts profits above people. This system has put Palestinians through the unimaginable: decades and decades of apartheid, of suffocating oppression and the escalating genocide of recent years.
The genocide has shown the ugliest side of humanity, but we are also showing the strongest side of humanity. I really believe that Among the strongest things that exist is solidarity between struggles. And that is why we have to continue getting up every day, raising our voices, not falling into the trap of apathy..
“So I’m looking forward to spending the day on strike with you and many, many more strikes and demonstrations to come.”
