STATEMENT: TRUMPS DECISION TO MOVE US EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM





 

(May the peace and blessings of Allah SWT be upon you)

STATEMENT ON TRUMPS DECISION TO MOVE THE US EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM

The National Union of Muslim Students is disgusted but unsurprised at the actions of the President of the United States of America. Donald Trump is an islamophobe and racist. He has no concern for creating peace and promoting justice. He and his puppets in the Middle East continue to deny Palestinians their right to self-determination, free from oppression and occupation carried out by the Israelis.

Trumps unilateral decision proves that the US is acting in favour of the Zionist regime. Israel does not support peace and continues to further their settler colonial project. They have no intention to find a just resolution; we therefore call on our government and all progressive civil society organisations to isolate the illegal Zionist state through boycott, divestments and sanctions.

The MSA Union further calls on the ANC government to cease all diplomatic relations with Israel. The Palestinian people deserve our unequivocal support.
We endorse the Palestinian Solidarity Alliance statement below.

We further call on all our members to participate and voice themselves on all platforms, particularly the pickets and protests being planned by solidarity organisations.




Two of which are:
1.      Protest March: 13 December 2017, 11am, Kaizergracht to Parliament. Contact; 079 494 5786
2.      Picket: 14 December 2017, 11am to 4pm, US Consulate, 1 Sandton Dr, Sandhurst, Johannesburg. Contact; 072 910 8483

The struggle continues from Azania to Palestine.
