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.
