Nous travailleuses et travailleurs dans le domaine culturel, artistique et académique, d'origine arabe et/ou arabophone, qui portons la double nationalité ou qui résidons dans les pays de l’union européenne et les pays d’Amérique du Nord, déclarons notre soutien inconditionnel à la cause palestinienne face au massacre actuel que subissent les Palestiniens à Gaza.
Une atmosphère lourde qui s’installe dans quelques pays d’Europe et d’Amérique, a atteint le point de réduire au silence les discours arabes apportant un soutien aux palestiniens dans les médias ou dans les espaces publics, et va vers l’interdiction de lever le drapeau palestinien et les keffiehs, la restriction de la liberté d’exprimer son soutien aux palestiniens, ainsi que la restriction d’un vrai débat politique sur le sujet de la résistance face à l’occupation.
Ceci exacerbe un discours de haine et de racisme envers les résidents et les citoyens d’origine arabe dans ces pays. Ces derniers jours, nous avons assisté à des événements malheureux qui ciblent les résidents arabes et tentent de restreindre leurs opportunités professionnelles.
Les régimes dans certains de ces pays ne se sont pas contentés de soutenir les régimes tyranniques dans des pays arabes au cours de l’histoire récente, ni d’envahir d’autres, ni de continuer à soutenir des régimes de corruption militaire, familiale ou sectaire qui privent leurs citoyens de la liberté et les laissent sous le seuil de pauvreté.
Ces pays ont complètement détourné les yeux de la tragédie palestinienne, et ont entièrement ignoré les droits des Palestiniens. Le silence autour des crimes de guerre commis par l’armée israélienne est une apologie d’un immense massacre auquel les Palestiniens sont soumis aujourd'hui.
Nous défendons notre peuple, dans leur pays d’origine ou à l’étranger, et nous répétons haut et fort que nous ne permettrons pas que les Palestiniens et les Arabes et tous partisans de la cause palestinienne soient réduits au silence.
Pour cela, nous utilisons nos positions et nos privilèges pour défendre notre peuple, nous continuerons à le faire, et nous appelons les peuples libres dans le monde à se tenir à nos côtés face à cette attaque qui menace de transformer des systèmes de liberté en systèmes de tyrannie.
Justice pour les Palestiniens et pour tous les opprimés dans le monde.
