The Andalusian organisation has signed the manifesto of the Solidarity Network Against the Occupation of Palestine and supports the mobilisations that will take place on 5 and 6 October throughout Spain.
APDHA also condemns ‘Israel’s terrorist attacks against Lebanon, which place the region on the brink of total war’.
Pro Human Rights Andalusia demands the Spanish government to stop all arms trade with Israel and to break diplomatic relations with the Zionist entity.
The Andalusian Association for Human Rights has signed the manifesto drawn up by the Solidarity Network Against the Occupation of Palestine, which encourages citizens to participate in the mobilisations that will take place throughout Spain on 5 and 6 October. APDHA, like RESCOP, demands an end to the genocide that Israel is perpetrating against the Palestinian people and recalls that ‘more than 2 million people are under siege and in a desperate situation’.
The International Solidarity Area of APDHA considers that ‘citizens cannot remain silent in the face of the genocide that is being broadcast live from Gaza’ and explains that ‘Israel is also carrying out unjustifiable attacks against the civilian population of the West Bank’. The Andalusian entity points out that ‘it is already 76 years of occupation, land theft, assassinations and crimes against the Palestinian people’ and notes that ‘Israel’s indiscriminate attacks aim to decimate the Palestinian population and destroy essential infrastructures for life such as schools, hospitals, homes or universities’.
APDHA condemns ‘Israel’s terrorist attacks against Lebanon, which place the region on the brink of total war’ and points out that ‘most of the victims have been civilians’. In this sense, the Andalusian association points out that the attacks carried out using explosives placed in electronic devices such as pagers ‘caused explosions in crowded supermarkets, on busy roads, in homes, schools and hospitals, leaving more than 3,000 people mutilated and at least 30 people dead, including several children’. However, the organisation regrets ‘the coverage given by many Western media, who point out the supposed precision and sophistication of the attack, deliberately ignoring the high number of civilian casualties it has caused’.
The Andalusian organisation recalls that ‘without the constant flow of US weapons to Israel, it would not be able to continue with the military campaign that has devastated Gaza and is also targeting the West Bank and Lebanon’. ‘If we continue to tolerate the impunity and horror with which the state of Israel acts, there will only be more death and destruction,’ say APDHA, which stresses that ’stopping arms sales to Israel, starting with the United States and continuing with other European countries such as Spain, is a necessary condition to put an end to these massacres and achieve peace in the region.
Pro Derechos Humanos de Andalucía, like the Solidarity Network Against the Occupation of Palestine, demands that the Spanish and other European governments ‘put an end to the arms trade with Israel’, ‘demand accountability for its crimes’, ‘break off relations with the Zionist entity’ and ‘put an end to the persecution and criminalisation of the legitimate solidarity that is taking place throughout Europe’.
