Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:


Join the Digital Protest Against Israel - Silence for Gaza

 

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) endorses the global call 'Silence for
Gaza', which urges people to switch off their mobile phones for half an hour
everyday - from 21:00 to 21:30 local time - as a symbolic act of solidarity.

 

A recently released UN report, From Economy of Occupation to Economy of
Genocide, details how various multinational corporations are complicit in
Israel's assault on Gaza. The sinister role of these corporations must be
exposed and they must be held accountable to the people.

 

These corporations feed off our digital footprints, even as they enable
genocide. Shutting off our mobile phones for half an hour each day at the
designated time is a small but powerful act of digital disruption, a strike
against the surveillance capitalism that bankrolls Israel's genocide and
apartheid.

 

The CPI(M) urges people across the country to actively participate in this
digital resistance by spreading the word: switch off your mobile phones and
abstain from posting, liking, or commenting on any social media platform
during the protest period.

 

In joining the global 'Silence for Gaza' campaign, the CPI(M) stands with
the Palestinian people and against the brutal, genocidal assault unleashed
by Israel. Let this collective silence be a defiant refusal to be complicit,
and a powerful assertion that the voices against war crimes will not be
silenced.
