“It is vital that First Nations people represent their clans and nations in standing for solidarity against the ongoing genocide and illegal occupation of Palestinian lands for so many reasons.

There are many similarities that can be drawn upon between both of our struggles but what leads our solidarity is the empathy we have towards each others experiences. It is important that we demonstrate our support of Palestinians in this time, and take this moment to learn about the many tentacles of colonial occupation.

Our part in this genocide must be to stand against bloodshed, to stand against zionism, to stand against settler colonial occupation, we must understand these things and not condone its treatments - especially against Palestinians.”
