As the world watches in horror at the violence inflicted upon the Ukrainian people, we join the growing call from people of conscious all around the world in #StandingWithUkraine. No matter who you are, all people have the right to safety in their homes and on their land.
Palestinians, like many people, know all too well the pain and suffering of military invasion and occupation. So when we see images from Ukraine we can’t help but empathize with another group that knows that pain too.
Everyone should be protected from violence. When people's homes and lives are under threat, anyone would fight to defend themselves and the ones they love.
No parent should be forced to make the impossible choice of fleeing with their children for safety or defending the only home they’ve ever known. But when they do, refugees should be welcomed with open arms, whether they’re from Ukraine or Syria, Ethiopia, Yemen, and beyond.
When militaries and politicians use violence against an entire population, they must be held accountable for the harm they’ve inflicted. The world is more dangerous when oppressors don’t face consequences.
All people have the right to live freely and safely in their homes and on their land. The world should stand with Ukrainians, and extend those same values to all oppressed people so that all human life is valued.
