The SI mourns the civilian casualties and calls for an  immediate end to the rocket attacks and airstrikes that indiscriminately kill, injure and destroy. Further violence will only serve to harm innocent  citizens of both Palestine and Israel and only benefits those who have no  interest in peace.  <br><br>This severe escalation in the conflict has been provoked by the evictions by Israel of  Palestinian families from East Jerusalem and the demolition of their homes,  which are intensely damaging to the prospects for peace. Demonstrations against this have been met by unacceptable violence and aggression from  Israeli security forces, which has in turn led to rocket attacks against  Israel and airstrikes on Gaza. The evictions of Palestinian families and  the demolition of their homes must stop, in East Jerusalem and across the Palestinian Territories. These provocative and calculated acts in recent  days and weeks against Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem are a continuation of a policy of hostility from the Israeli government, and the  systematic and intentional denial of the basic rights of the Palestinian  people. This includes violent police action against Palestinians exercising their right to worship at the Al-Aqsa mosque during the holy month of  Ramadan.     <br><br>Illegal and oppressive acts will not change or reduce the demands for an end to 54  years of occupation, discrimination and the system of segregation, and the  right to full equality and self-determination for Palestinians, which are a prerequisite for peace. In the pursuit of these aims, the SI reiterates its  solidarity with the Palestinian non-violent opposition. <br><br>The SI continues to fully support a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict, and  the legitimate aims of the Palestinian people for an independent state based on the 1967 borders with its capital in East Jerusalem.     The SI remains  committed to working with its member parties in Palestine and Israel, whose  voices are among the most prominent for peace and a two-state solution, and needed now more than ever. The support and engagement of the international community in favour of Middle East peace and the recognition of Palestinian     statehood remain vital. The legitimate demands of the Palestinian people     will not be diminished by unilateral moves taken by Israel in violation of     international law, and the SI will continue to act in support of the rights     of both peoples to live in peace.               <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor&#8217;s Note: We endorse this statement, as the SI is an organization that SD USA was once part of and hopes to rejoin soon.
