Dear reader,

To mark the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, TNI has produced this newsletter, which compiles readings, podcasts, videos, calls to action and tools for organising.

We stand with the people of Palestine and express our full solidarity with them as they continue to endure Israel's genocidal war on Gaza and the increased use of violence by Israeli occupation forces and armed settlers in the occupied West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem.

This latest escalation of extreme violence forms part of a decades-long colonialist system of ethnic cleansing, apartheid, violent occupation and oppression, imposed by Israel on the people of Palestine to dispossess them of their homeland.

We recognise that a truce is not enough and continue to join the call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, and for the siege on Gaza to be lifted.

Our hearts are with the Palestinian people and we loudly proclaim with them and the voices growing louder around the world 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free'.
