Connecting the dots – These are our issues
In our direct support work and activism related to systemic human rights violations, repression and violence, corruption and impunity in Honduras and Guatemala (primarily), Rights Action always tries to document and denounce how the US and Canadian governments and militaries, our companies and banks, and entities like the World Bank and InterAmerican Development Bank, oftentimes enable, cause and benefit from the human rights violations, repression and violence, corruption and impunity in both countries.
We understand things no differently in the case of US and Canada’s military, economic and political support for and legitimization of what Israel is doing in Palestine since October 7, 2023, and what it has been doing for decades.
Rights Action supports calls for
- Immediate and permanent ceasefire.
- Immediate delivery of massive amounts of comprehensive humanitarian relief, and reconstruction and rebuilding support.
- Release of all political prisoners and illegally detained people.
- And then support, for as long as it takes, a comprehensive negotiation process that deals with the extreme death, suffering and destruction happening right now (beginning on October 7), and that addresses the historic root causes, going back to 1948, including the establishment of the Israeli Apartheid system, the violent, illegal occupation and on-going illegal settler expansionism.
Full accountability for Western complicity
Rights Action supports activism and work to hold the US, Canada, EU and Australia legally and politically accountable for supporting and legitimizing Israel’s systematic crimes against humanity and war crimes against Palestine and the Palestinian people.
Urgent need to diversify media sources
Rights Action urges everyone to diversify their news sources. We suggest the daily news coverage provided by Al Jazeera news (https://www.aljazeera.com; @AJEnglish) and Democracy Now (www.democracynow.org; @democracynow). These are not the only other sources, but they provide serious reporting on the Israel/Palestine situation, and are a necessary antidote to the oftentimes harmful, misleading reporting coming from much of the mainstream government and corporate media in the US, EU, and Canada.
