USPC Statement!
The genocide has to stop! Over 44,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza by Israel’s indiscriminate bombardment since October 7, 2023. Over 100,000 seriously injured, 9,000 Palestinians are held hostage in Israeli prisons, and over 4,000 in administrative detention. Israel’s war on Gaza has displaced over 1.8 million Palestinians, who are now living under severe, inhumane conditions.
Recently, the Israeli occupation forces targeted and assassinated the Gaza Soup Kitchen Chef Mahmoud Almadhoun, who had fed Palestinians suffering hunger due to Israel’s blockade of vital food aid. His loss is a devastating reminder of the immense cruelty of the Israeli occupation.
We must advocate for the end of Israeli genocide and occupation of Palestine as passionately as we advocate for the human rights of those living anywhere around the globe.
The USPC condemns the killing of Mahmoud Almadhoun and extends our sincere condolences to his family and the people of Palestine. We demand the appropriate prosecution of those who were involved in his killing, and we call for an end to the illegal Israeli occupation.
May Mahmoud's memory live on as a testament to resilience, justice, and peace!
