»Nicht ohne Grund charakterisieren Beobachter Israels Kontrolle über das Land vom Jordan bis zum Mittelmeer als ein System der Apartheid«

We are a group of philosophy professors in North America, Latin America, and Europe writing to publicly and unequivocally express our solidarity with the Palestinian people and to denounce the ongoing and rapidly escalating massacre being committed in Gaza by Israel and with the full financial, material, and ideological support of our own governments.

As we write, bombs have killed over 8,500 people in Gaza. By the time you read this, that number will have risen. For over three weeks, a siege of the territory has cut off food, water, medicine, fuel, and electricity.

The blockade of Gaza has lasted 16 years; the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has lasted 56 years; the dispossession of Palestinians of their lands and homes across historic Palestine has lasted three-quarters of a century, since the 1948 establishment of Israel as an ethno-supremacist state.  It is not without reason that observers—including both international and Israeli human rights groups—now characterize Israel’s control over the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea as a system of apartheid.
