Arundhati Roy
A statement from Arundhati Roy:
The Israeli occupation of Palestine and siege of Gaza is a crime against humanity. The US and other countries that support this occupation with money and weapons are party to that crime.
The horror we are witnessing right now - is a consequence of that crime.
No amount of commentary about the cruelty of this “war”, no amount condemnation of the excesses committed by either side, no amount of false equivalence about the scale of those atrocities will lead to a solution.
The solution can only be an international intervention that calls for talks to end the occupation, to end this system of Apartheid. That alone will halt the cycle of horrible murders of Israeli citizens and the genocide of Palestinians.
