The invasion itself is a brazen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/article\/how-russias-invasion-ukraine-violates-international-law\">violation <\/a>of international law. Putin denies the Ukrainian people\u2019s right to self-determination, claiming Ukraine does not <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.lse.ac.uk\/lseih\/2020\/07\/01\/there-is-no-ukraine-fact-checking-the-kremlins-version-of-ukrainian-history\/\">\u2018exist\u2019<\/a>.

From its 19th-century roots, Zionism is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.972mag.com\/zionism-jewish-lives-herzl\/\">self-proclaimed<\/a> colonial project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Britain, then occupying Palestine, made the 1917<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opendemocracy.net\/en\/israel-gaza-palestine-british-zionism-starmer-sunak-balfour\/\"> Balfour Declaration<\/a>, which favoured the establishment \u2018in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people\u2019 while ignoring the nationality rights of existing \u2018non-Jewish\u2019 peoples, Jewish settler <a href=\"https:\/\/today.lorientlejour.com\/article\/1356465\/jewish-militias-reign-of-terror-on-palestine.html#:~:text=The%20Irgun%2C%20Stern%20Group%2C%20Haganah,blocks%20of%20today%27s%20Israeli%20Army.\">militias<\/a> have conducted campaigns of ethnic cleansing of indigenous populations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/features\/2017\/5\/23\/the-nakba-did-not-start-or-end-in-1948\"><em>Nakba<\/em><\/a> of 1948, thousands of Palestinians were massacred, their villages depopulated, and over 750,000 displaced, creating a permanent refugee population. This system of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/campaigns\/2022\/02\/israels-system-of-apartheid\/\">apartheid<\/a>, settler-colonialism and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newarab.com\/opinion\/tarshiha-gaza-israels-ethnic-cleansing-continues\">ethnic cleansing<\/a> has culminated in the present day <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BXRCfGnXVcs\">genocide<\/a> of the Palestinian people, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.palestinechronicle.com\/first-in-history-to-be-livestreamed-former-unrwa-official-on-gaza-genocide\/\">livestreamed<\/a> on social media.

Palestinians like <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hzomlot\/status\/1750937314979684616?s=20\">Husam Zomlot<\/a> have long been making this case. Ukrainians, too, have highlighted the <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.com.ua\/en\/ukrayinskij-list-solidarnosti\/\">common underlying principles<\/a> of their respective struggles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prominent intellectuals like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Yuf3iQmxsNQ\">Judith Butler<\/a> has also done so, including in conversation with decolonial feminist thinker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rlQNBJOq-0E\">Fran\u00e7oise Verg\u00e8s<\/a>. So too has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redpepper.org.uk\/global-politics\/palestine-middle-east\/the-iron-dome-is-global-and-so-is-the-resistance\/\">Naomi Klein<\/a>. The silence is slowly being broken. Palestinians have tried everything, from the diplomacy of the Oslo Accords (result: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newarab.com\/opinion\/30-years-oslo-accords-betrayal-still-haunts-palestinians\">betrayal<\/a> by the international community and no clear establishment of a recognised Palestinian state), to the peaceful marches of return where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unrwa.org\/campaign\/gaza-great-march-return\">kids were shot<\/a> by Israeli snipers (once again with impunity).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Democratic rights for all<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Against the military might of Israel and its backers, armed resistance alone is unlikely to liberate Palestinians. There must be an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2024\/2\/15\/which-countries-have-stopped-supplying-arms-to-israel\">end<\/a> to all military and financial aid to Israel. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2024\/jan\/10\/only-outside-pressure-can-stop-israels-war-crimes\">Boycotts, sanctions and divestment<\/a> must be applied by the entire international community.

The key protagonists of genocide and its public backers must be brought to justice. And a solution that guarantees equal democratic rights for all regardless of religion or ethnicity, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/en\/statements\/2023\/06\/right-return-palestinian-refugees-must-be-prioritised-over-political\">right of return of refugees<\/a> and peaceful coexistence must be implemented.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globaljustice.org.uk\/event\/think-global-act-global\/\">Think Global Act Global<\/a> will be a space to discuss these fraught questions and more, building links between different struggles.
