We, students in Glasgow, Scotland from the Palestine Societies at
Glasgow Caledonian University and the University of Glasgow held a vigil
action on Tuesday 14th February joining others around the world in a
day of solidarity with you in your brave struggle on behalf of your
fellow prisoners against the occupier and it's apartheid system. Your
brave fight, although shamefully slowly, has now reached UK media and
the the facade of liberal democracy Israel uses to hide it's true and
ugly apartheid reality has suffered another crack due to your actions.
We
salute your sumud and your bravery which personify the heroic
resistance of the people of Palestine, and we sincerely hope you and
your family know you are not alone, Palestine is not alone and take some
small comfort in the knowledge that here in Scotland, in the north of
the old evil empire that cursed Palestine with Balfour, support for the
Palestinian rights of freedom, equality and return is solid. You and
Palestine in general are a source of inspiration to us and people all
over the world who at a time of Western capitalism's meltdown are facing
injustice like never before.
Next week, students in
over 20 universities in the UK will be doing in actions and events to
mark the 8th international Israeli Apartheid Week and core to that will
be the issue of Khader Adnan and Israel's draconian use of
'administrative detention' and the aim of these activities is to
challenge Israeli economic and financial interests with the tools given
to us by the campaign of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against the
racist, apartheid State of Israel. Again, we hope this offers some small
comfort and thank you for being a true inspiration to us and people
across the world fighting oppression and injustice in it's many forms,
you are a hero, you are a giant, you are Palestine.
