Struggle in Sardinia achieves victory for Palestine: occupation state excluded from military exercises


The Palestinian people and the movement in solidarity with Palestine achieved a major victory in Sardinia, Italy, as the occupation state’s military has been removed from an international military training exercise on Sardinia after a growing protest movement, led by the Palestinian community locally alongside Palestine solidarity organizations and anti-militarist groups. Protests have been organized, the Sardinia-Palestine Friendship Association gathered over 14,000 signatures on a petition against the occupation army’s involvement in the exercises, and numerous direct appeals from Palestinian groups reached Sardinia. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine salutes the people of Sardinia and all who struggled to achieve this victory, as part of the ongoing escalation of international solidarity with the Palestinian people, the leadership of Palestinian communities around the world in struggling for Palestine and building the movement internationally, and the growing campaign for boycott, divestment, sanctions and the international isolation of the occupation state.
