CARICOM Statement On The Situation In Gaza
The Caribbean Community (CARICOM), aware of the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza that continues to worsen,
Expresses horror and concern at the mounting death toll on the civilian population, including women and children, particularly in Gaza, but also in other areas of the Occupied Palestinian Territory,
Calls on all States to respect and ensure respect for international humanitarian law in all circumstances in accordance with Article 1 of the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949,
Condemns any disregard for international humanitarian law, human rights and the laws of war that have resulted in the widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza and deprivation of access to basic necessities including medical care for the people of Palestine,
Reaffirms its conviction that a lasting, two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be achieved only by peaceful means, based on the relevant United Nations Resolutions and in accordance with international law.
Further calls for:
- an immediate ceasefire in Gaza;
- the immediate release of all hostages and for their humane treatment at all times in compliance with international law;
- all parties to immediately and fully comply with their obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law and international human rights law; and
- the immediate, safe, unimpeded access for adequate, sustained humanitarian support throughout Gaza including food, water, medicines, medical care, fuel and electricity.

These caricom heads are such idiots.
Why don’t they just shut up?
I guess they missed the event that started the whole thing but they are blind as bats anyways.
@The circus was in town.
I guess you too miss the event(s) that started the Whole Thing(s).
But first, CARICOM members are like feathers; they go in whatever direction the wind is blowing, hoping along the way they catch some handouts.
The dominant Big Media and Big Money view is that Isreal has to defend itself, so did South Africa ands the racist who supported South Africa when the ANC fought against apathied .
Take a little time and read what Ilan Pappé an Israeli born historian, who is the son of holocaust survivors. Learn what this Isreali political scientist has to say about the history of the area. He is a professor with the College of Social Sciences and International Studies at the University of Exeter in the UK.
Get yourself a balance opinion by reading widely, rather than just listening to the big bias media.
There is a Caribbean nation which was involved in transporting arms to South Africa when indigenous Africans were fighting for their freedom from the evil of Apartheid. Who would believe the party with the loudest mouth here in Antigua was culpable? Here’s the thing: Israel too also supplied arms to South Afrrica for the Apartheid regime to crush the African rebellion. All this has nothing to do with the call for a ceasefire but I fervently believe the Palestinians have been wronged. What Hamas did on 7th October was murderous and cruel, no ifs or buts! Now examine Israel’s behviour towards the Palestinians over the years and compare. Step constantly on someone’s toe and that person might react irrationally at some point.
