We, like millions of people around the world we are horrified and outraged at Israel's bombing and siege of Gaza, cutting off water, food, electricity, fuel and medical supplies, the destruction of homes, schools and hospitals, and the forced evacuation of over a million people.  As mothers and grandmothers we cry in rage and despair at the mass murder of children in Gaza,and their murder and imprisonment in the West Bank.

Even premature babies have been denied medical attention and purposefully starved to death. All children are our children and we must fight for every one.This slaughter of the innocents is the biggest crime against humanity. Entire families have been wiped out. Those who survive are now homeless and threatened with starvation. 

We will never forget these crimes 

We are not represented anywhere. We must represent ourselves and each other! Those in power - starting with the US (and their prime stooge, the UK) which arm and fund Israel's apartheid and landgrab - refuse to call for a ceasefire. That's why ever growing numbers of people have taken to the streets, and are using every platform we have access to against this genocide that's happening before our eyes. The few who speak for us in the halls of power, like Representative Rashid Tlaib, the only US Palestinian woman in Congress, are sanctioned.

But wherever we are, we refuse to be silenced. Despite attempts in a few countries to criminalise protest, we continue to insist our voices are heard.

In our thousands and our millions, we are all Palestinians.
