UN Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, International Criminal Court Prosecutor, International Court of Justice President: Investigate the Possibility that Israel is Committing the Crime of Genocide Against the Indigenous Palestinian People.
- We, the undersigned, call for the exclusion of Israel from the Venice Biennale.
As the art world readies itself to visit the Giardini’s nation-state diorama, we say platforming art representing a state engaged in ongoing atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza is unacceptable. No Genocide Pavilion at the Venice Biennale.

Responding to the Palestinian call to boycott the event, over 450+ queer artists, activists and organisations have signed an open letter to the UK’s contestant, Olly Alexander, asking him to withdraw. The letter calls on him to “commit not to perform at Eurovision while it provides cultural cover for an ongoing genocide.”
We, the undersigned, add our voices and ask Olly Alexander to heed the Palestinian call to withdraw from the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.

The effectiveness of policies of elimination requires two conditions: mass killings and varying degrees of violence on the one hand, and a supportive or complicit public on the other. Israel has both.
The phenomenon known as “settler violence” is a daily and endless sequence of assaults, of which only the tip of the iceberg ever reaches the Israeli media. Under the banner of a “war on terror,” soldiers can commit intolerable crimes, many of which, too, are rarely reported. The mass of the crimes, their frequency, their pervasiveness, and the explicit endorsement of them by Israel’s leadership and public opinion, are all designed to produce a reality in which the law of elimination becomes a law of nature.

The use of ideological “both sides-isms” frames the Occupation of Palestine as a conflict and not a settler colonial project carrying out genocide. The Winter Term project puts the needs of a predominately wealthy, privileged Oberlin student population above the rights and realities of Palestinians experiencing genocide and ethnic cleansing… The genocide occurring in Palestine is ongoing and to take a trip to Palestine under any circumstance other than working towards Palestinian liberation is grossly inappropriate and directly supports apartheid.

“riginally published by the Conservative Party of Canada on the 16th of July, the same day 4 children were targeted on a beach in Gaza in full public view to terrorize Palestinians, Canadians and the World. This video was aimed at an Israeli audience to present a case of international support and religious justification for their war where none truly exists…
It is offensive, wrong and literally incitement towards war and genocide.
Sections 318, 319, and 320 of the Criminal Code of Canada forbid hate propaganda. “Hate propaganda” means “any writing, sign or visible representation that advocates or promotes genocide or the communication of which by any person would constitute an offence under section 319.”

Petition to Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon: Include Israel’s Army on UN List of Serious Violators of Children’s Rights… This listing with the Israeli forces on it, would propel Israel further towards pariah status within international bodies and could lead to UN sanctions which are at this point, after seventy years of denial, oppression and slow genocide, all the people of Palestine have to stop these crimes against humanity.

We must recognize the atrocities being committed in Gaza as Genocide. Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide is clear… Sir, at every turn, genocide has been ignored only to be acknowledged after the fact. As Secretary General of the United Nations, you are obliged to put a stop to the ongoing genocide and punish the perpetrators. If the call to duty, the voice of conscience, and the voices of the signatories to this petition is not heeded, then it is incumbent upon you to resign from your post.

Time to send Israel a message loud and clear! We can see through your deception and lies. We see your oppression and tyranny. Your crimes against Palestinians, against innocent and defenceless women and children will not go unanswered. 2 months ago Israel rejected New Zealand’s ambassador simply because he is a representative to the Palestinian people. New Zealand has always stood proudly for its principles. We ask you to tell John Key, Prime Minister of New Zealand, to expel the Israeli ambassador.

Robbie,
Please read the following letter, sent by 327 Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors and victims of the Nazi genocide published in New York Times 23 Aug 2014… “We must raise our collective voices and use our collective power to bring about an end to all forms of racism, including the ongoing genocide of Palestinian people. We call for an immediate end to the siege against and blockade of Gaza. We call for the full economic, cultural and academic boycott of Israel. “Never again” must mean NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE!”
