This October marks one year since our people in Gaza showed the world that the Palestinian people will continue to resist their continued displacement and dispossession. We know that Palestine will be victorious. As we approach the one year mark of Israel’s genocide on Gaza, we salute our people’s steadfastness and resistance. We call for October 5th as a global day of action for Palestine to mark this year as one where Palestinians resisted Zionist occupation, siege and ethnic cleansing, as they have for nearly 100 years.

In the span of one year, the Gaza Health Ministry has released the names of over 40,000 martyrs, with updated projections estimating over 189,000 martyrs. Yet amidst this genocide, our people in Gaza, across Palestine, and across the world remain steadfast in our resistance.

The genocidal Zionist project has passed a point of failure beyond which there is no return, due in no small part to our movement. From the halls of Columbia University and UCLA to the camps in Lebanon, from the farthest reaches of the diaspora to those nearest to our occupied homeland, we have put enormous roadblocks in Zionism’s path, roadblocks that will soon prove insurmountable. Zionism’s time has waned, is waning, and is on the road to a humiliated defeat.

The struggle continues! On October 5, we will make clear from wherever we are that our movement is going nowhere until full liberation and return are ours. We will not stop, we will not rest, until every inch of Palestine is free.
