The UAE and Bahrain’s dictators are selling out the Palestinian people

Tuesday’s White House photo-op won’t lead to peace or justice. It’s a cynical deal by corrupt, fanatic Israeli, Emirati, Bahraini and US rulers to sustain their brutal repression and rights violations.

Our response: intensify pressure for a military embargo on apartheid Israel.

The UAE and Bahrain’s dictators are selling out the Palestinian people, ignoring their own citizens, for their belligerent and capitalist interests. Their deals with Trump and Netanyahu will only escalate apartheid Israel’s ongoing land theft, ethnic cleansing, and siege of 2 million Palestinians in the Gaza ghetto.

Supported by the absolute majority in the Arab world and progressives worldwide, Palestinians will continue to resist Israeli oppression and insist on our right to freedom, justice and equality. We call for lawful, targeted sanctions to stop Israel’s occupation and apartheid.
