Movements against the occupation: proud to be investigated
[Episode 91]
While Israel has not launched an independent committee to investigate war crimes perpetreted in Gaza yet the Israeli parliament currently happened to decide to launch a committee to investigate foreign funding of Israeli civil society organizations. Among these organizations are the Coalition of Women for Peace.
” The Coalition is proud to be mentioned among the Israeli organizations that struggle against the war crimes that Israel is committing in Gaza. While these constant assaults on Palestinian and Israeli human rights defenders are troubling, we feel that they also represent the growing fear among Israeli officials, who recognize the threat posed by international pressure and by the Palestinian nonviolent struggle” said our guest Yoana Gonen, CWP International Relations Coordinator. “It is clear that international pressure is currently one of the greatest threats to the continuation of the Israeli occupation. Therefore, we call on our international allies to increase this pressure – despite the growing political persecution – so that together we will bring an end to the occupation and justice to all inhabitants of this region”.
