Today we join hundreds of artists, academics, and cultural workers, in pledging our support for the Palestinian people in the face of over 75 years of Israeli apartheid, settler colonialism, military occupation, and ethnic cleansing. We call for an immediate end to the Israeli shelling of Gaza, an end to Israeli raids, arrests, and hostilities in the West Bank, and an end to the arrest and harassment of Palestinian citizens of Israel. Read the full list of demands from @artists4palestineca here. Debaser’s office will be closed today in solidarity with the global strike for Palestine.
