UWC mission statement is to unite all people for peace and sustainable future through education. Palestine has no peace and will have no future whatsoever if everybody stays silent.

How can we talk about peace while ignoring the reality of the occupation? Total disgrace.

Silence is complicity. UWC needs to stand on the right side of history and call this what it is.

UWC has a history of standing against apartheid. It is crucial it continues to do so.

UWCs have a nasty inclination to try and paint all issues as just a "misunderstanding" that can be worked through if we're all nice to each other. This does not work when there is no level playing field for the negotiation. According to Human Rights Watch, Israel regularly engages in acts of apartheid, is committing 2 crimes against humanity and is in violation of 61 UN resolutions. They have terrorized and displaced Palestinians from their homes since their inception. This continues in the West Bank where, despite Israel being internationally recognized to have no sovereignty over the West Bank, homes are torn down to make way for right wing settlers, and in Gaza, where only one hospital remains that hasn't been bombed by Israel, electricity only comes for 4 hours a day, and there is no reliable access to clean water. This is a system of apartheid and ethnic cleansing and UWC should oppose it unequivocally and put pressure on the Israeli national committee and government to end their atrocities.
