SPEECH

Kerem Gumre read the press release: "The Palestinian people are struggling for independence against imperialism and zionism. The Palestinian people, who have been subjected to Israel's Zionist attacks and massacres for half a century, are not only against Israel today; It also resists the tanks and artillery of the USA, which is the patron of the war, and the lies and black propaganda of the Western media. Today, the far-right and occupying Netanyahu government; It continues its attacks on Gaza and the West Bank. According to the latest information, Israel has carried out more than 280 attacks on Palestinian territory since October 7. 50 years ago and now, Israel stands before us as an occupying state. Just as the Palestinian people had to leave their land in 1967 because of Israel and its collaborators, today they have lost more of their land and have to leave the geography where attacks are increasing or are left to die."

Kerem Gumre: "The reason we are here today is to show that we are following in the footsteps of the Deniz Gezmiş and his friends who fought in Palestine 54 years ago and the 1968 generation who defended full independence against imperialism and zionism. Just as the Denizs held this system to account 54 years ago, today, as the youth, we are following the Denizs' path; We hold accountable the war policies of the USA and Israel, those who guard imperialism, and this order that creates poverty and war. We hold accountable dozens of American bases, enemies of the people, guardians of order, zionism and imperialism both in our country and in the Middle East. We hold accountable the pro-NATO and pro-American AKP, which shed crocodile tears for Palestine, did not cut relations with Israel, and even strengthened them."
