Under the slogan ‘With resistance, unity, and resolve, we will bring down the deal of the century’ (i.e., refers to US President Donald Trump’s Middle East peace plan; see note below)…
The Palestinian women in the homeland and the diaspora bless March 8, International Women’s Day, and they are continuing in their struggle for freedom, independence, and realization of our legal national rights to return and self-determination on their land, and the establishment of the fully sovereign independent Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with Jerusalem as its capital, the capital of equality and social justice.
This day comes at a time whenthe Palestinian women are resisting with all their strength the American-Israeli plot called ‘the deal of the century,’ which is meant to eliminate the Palestinian cause and impose facts on the ground to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state…
At this opportunity the Palestinian women emphasize the following:
- The continued adherence to the plan ofnational and social struggle, and their [continued] role inresisting the occupation in order to bring down the deal of the century and all of the plans of elimination on the one hand, and their continued adherence to the social and legal struggle in order to achieve their national rights to social equality[on the other hand].
… - A call on international society to uphold its responsibility by implementing the relevant international decisions, adjudicating the Zionists committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, and strengthening the boycott of Israel as an occupation state.
… - Taking immediate steps to change the discriminatory and exclusionary cultural patterns, and particularly at the level of the curricula and the media, and also a demand to take the necessary steps to prevent inciting statements from being issued by official figures against women.
Praise for the female and male Martyrs, freedom to the female and male prisoners
Together for the establishment of our Palestinian state.”
