In Solidarity with Palestine

Subbacultcha stands in solidarity with those who are suffering from oppression. In relation to the violent atrocities happening in Palestine, we’d like to use our platform to shine some extra light on a handful of initiatives to support the Palestinian people in their struggle for liberation. This is a humanitarian emergency. 

The occupation, siege and bombings of Gaza reveal more than meets the eye. These attacks and the immediate support of Israel from countries from the Global North represent an imperialist agenda that is entangled within our capitalist system. Companies and governments of the Global North profit from this agenda and its resulting outings like the military industrial complex. We won’t be free until all of us are free. 

We mourn the losses of all civilians and therefore are calling for an end to Israël’s violent occupation of Palestine.
