Since the last Meeting of FMs and Adh, held on July 27, an ad hoc Team was formed to coordinate a campaign regarding the genocide in Gaza, which included a denunciation document that was sent to the Israeli Embassies of all the governments of the countries where the HP is present. In addition, there was an internal campaign among full members and adherents so that each one would be responsible for delivering this Denunciation Document, reinforcing it in the form of massive saturation, to the embassies, consulates, and governments of foreign countries with local headquarters or representations. The NCTs, both established and in training, were also encouraged to spread this document through social and personal networks, making it known more widely.
Below is the text of the document:
Letter to the Embassies regarding the Genocide in Gaza
The International Federation of Humanist Parties denounces the genocide of the Palestinian People at the hands of Israel and its collaborators. We call upon the international conscience to take concrete action against this systematic and massive violation of the right to life and peace.
The time has come to abandon past illusions and recognize that the Oslo Agreement, its protocols and conferences for the peaceful implementation of the “Two-State” solution have failed, and that Israel has decided to act against this solution.
We acknowledge that a large percentage of Israeli society is aware and struggles for a peaceful and democratic way out against Zionism. Likewise, we support the international communities that recognize the gravity of the facts and express themselves by carrying out marches and massive demonstrations throughout the world, denouncing the massacres and famine of defenseless people, the blockade of humanitarian aid, the destruction of entire cities, the bombings of hospitals, schools, and mosques, the repression of demonstrators, the assassinations and imprisonment of journalists and international activists who denounce cruel and inhuman treatment, the degradation of human rights, and who demand the possibility of a free and sovereign Palestine.
We demand that the world’s political and religious leaders speak out against this indescribable situation of abuse and cruelty, where Israeli military power acts with total impunity, trampling all the rights of the Palestinian people; that a call for boycott and non-cooperation with the State of Israel be made; and that compliance with its obligations under International Law be demanded, as well as from the states complicit in a new Shoah. Israel must be tried for its permanent attacks against the physical and mental integrity, freedom, and dignity of the Palestinians, and its crimes must be condemned. The Palestinian people must be freed, and their territorial and political rights recognized.
What we are witnessing today is NOT a war, it is A GENOCIDE, not only against the Palestinian people but against all humanity.

Anyone who wishes may participate in this activity by sending the text of the letter to the governmental body of their country, state, or municipality. This is a worthy campaign that must be supported by all human beings who want a less violent, freer, and more just world!
PEACE, FORCE AND JOY
