Press Release | I Refuse to be Complicit in Genocide: Protest for Palestinian Freedom

距離以色列在去年十月七日起以無差別攻擊、地毯式轟炸等方式對加薩的巴勒斯坦人民進行無度濫殺，已迄五個月。以色列在加薩進行的種族滅絕已造成 70,000 人受傷、30,000 人身亡。死難者中，超過 13,000 人是兒童、8,800 人是女性。

以「民主自由國家」自居的台灣、以「世界民主同盟」自居的台灣人，不能也不應置身事外。台灣的軍工複合體長期供應包含特殊鋼、微波組件、戰機起落架、致動器、引擎組件等重要零件予間接協助種族滅絕的美國軍火商、以及直接參與屠殺的以色列軍方。

在台灣針對這些企業進行抵制與制裁，是民主的台灣、世界的台灣所必須承擔的工作。而台灣駐外單位對以色列的贊助、以及民選國會在遊說之下成立「台灣與以色列國會議員聯誼會」，更是反對戰爭罪行、支持自決的台灣應當一齊反抗的首要目標。

在三月 24 日，可以自由巴將在自由廣場組織一場以「我拒絕成為共犯」為題的抗議行動，表達台灣公民社會對加薩種族滅絕的譴責、對巴勒斯坦自決的支持、以及對台灣以任何形式參與這一場暴行的完全反對。

我們將在集會上邀請各方進行發言短講，並以「假死抗議」(die-in protest) 以及「為巴勒斯坦畫眼淚」（靈感來自 @apu_to_palestine 和@palestinejapan），一同宣稱：「我拒絕成為種族滅絕的共犯！」。

Five months had passed since the onset of indiscriminate attacks on the people of Gaza. The Israeli military deployed tactics such as carpet bombing, resulting in excessive and indiscriminate killings. The genocide carried out by Israel in Gaza has resulted in 70,000 injuries and 30,000 fatalities. Among the casualties, over 13,000 are children and 8,800 are women.

Taiwan, a country that claims to be democratic, and its people who identify as allies of democracies, cannot and should not remain indifferent. Taiwan’s military-industrial complex has long supplied crucial components including specialized steel, microwave components, aircraft landing gear, actuators, engine components to the US military contractors who indirectly aided the genocide, and directly to the Israeli army.

Boycotting and sanctioning these enterprises in Taiwan is a democratic obligation and a responsibility of Taiwan as a member of the global community. Taiwan’s diplomatic missions’ support for Israel, as well as the establishment of the “Taiwan-Israel Parliamentary Alliance” by the elected parliament under lobbying, are primary targets that all who oppose war crimes and support self-determination, must collectively resist.

On March 24th, For Peace Taiwan will organize a protest action titled “I Refuse to be Complicit in Genocide” at Liberty Square, expressing condemnation from Taiwan’s civil society towards the genocide in Gaza, support for Palestinian self-determination, and complete opposition to all forms of Taiwanese involvement in these atrocities.

During the gathering, we will invite speakers to deliver short speeches, and we will also conduct a “die-in protest” and “Drawing Tears for Palestine” (inspired by @apu_to_palestine and @palestinejapan), proclaiming together: “I refuse to be complicit in genocide!”
