This is certainly not the most opportune moment to tell our Members of Parliament (MPs) to speak as one, given the ruckus roiling in Parliament. Yet, the India-Palestine Solidarity Action (IPSA) called for Indian MPs to denounce Israel and speak up against war crimes against Palestinians in the ongoing Israel vs Hamas war. The organisation held an online press meet on Tuesday afternoon, to speak about over 500 plus emails sent to government representatives as part of a campaign demanding that all our MPs speak up and highlight what the organisation called, “India’s doublespeak on Palestine.”
The anchor who began the press meet said, “Indian activists who are going to speak here are part of a larger global movement for Palestinian solidarity, from Jewish Voice for Peace to several other movements.” She added, “India has historically stood for Palestine. That makes it all the more important for India to speak up today. As Indians we have fought the British, today we need to stand against settler colonialism.”
