Title: Pro-Palestine demonstrations in front of the White House: a voice for peace
Introduction :
Just steps from the White House stands a shack covered in banners displaying messages such as “Liberate Palestine,” “End the occupation of Palestine” and “War is not the solution.” At the heart of this demonstration is Philops, a protester engaged for more than three decades, who continues to peacefully protest against the wars that have ravaged the world in recent years.
A fight for peace:
Philops, sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a Palestinian shawl covering his ground-length braids, braving the cold and rain, calls on US President Joe Biden to end the war in Gaza and stop supporting Israel. He also calls on Britain and Germany to stop funding Israel. Despite calls from many countries to end the violence at United Nations Security Council meetings and before the International Court of Justice, war financing continues.
Israel’s distrust of the International Court of Justice:
The spokesperson for the Israeli Foreign Ministry announced that the State of Israel has decided to ignore the decision of the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The Jewish state says it cannot accept this decision and will continue the war in Gaza in the same way.
A heavy price:
The death toll from Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip since the war began on October 7, 2023, now exceeds 27,000 people, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health. The number of injured stands at 66,139 people. Massacres continue to occur, with 13 new massacres in 24 hours, resulting in the deaths of 112 people.
A call for world peace:
Philops’ cause is not limited to Palestine, but also calls for an end to all wars in the world, including between Russia and Ukraine, as well as on the Korean Peninsula. He emphasizes that the two Koreas are the same people, of race and kinship. Despite the division in two since 1953, he believes that they should be reunited.
Conclusion :
The pro-Palestine demonstration in front of the White House represents a strong call for peace and an end to global conflicts. Philops, as a symbol of this struggle, emphasizes the need to end the violence in Gaza, to stop supporting Israel and to find diplomatic solutions to the ongoing conflicts. Let us hope that these peaceful voices are heard and that concrete actions are taken to build a fairer and more harmonious world.
