> “We, the undersigned artists, academics, and cultural workers, pledge our support
> for the Palestinian people in the face of over 75 years of Israeli apartheid, settler
> colonialism, military occupation, and ethnic cleansing. 
> 
> “We understand that the events of this week did not occur in a vacuum. For two
> decades, Israel has held Palestinians in Gaza under siege, in an open-air prison,
> subjecting them to brutal massacres and weapons testing; depriving them of basic
> goods, food, clean water, medicine, and medical supplies. Since 2000, more than
> 135,000 Palestinians have been detained by Israeli forces, including 21,000
> Palestinian children and hundreds of academics, artists, journalists, human rights
> defenders, and parliamentarians. Peaceful protests continue to be met with Israeli
> sniper bullets. Palestinian journalists are targeted for bringing us news on the
> ground, as in the case of longtime Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh,
> who was shot in the head by Israeli forces while covering Israeli attacks on Jenin
> refugee camp last year.”
