In Rouen, Mélenchon: “Gazaoui embodies the universal figure of the oppressed, humiliated” and denounces a genocide in Gaza

ByMuhammad

Wednesday evening in Rouen, during a meeting for the 6th Republic and Peace, Jean-Luc Mélenchon delivered a serious and committed speech (see video below). At the heart of his intervention: Gaza, ” Where it is not a war, but a mass murder, a genocide. “” They do not lead war against women or children, “he said,” they deliberately kill them so that there are no Palestinian people left. This is why it is called a genocide. »»

For the leader of rebellious France, what is played out in Gaza goes beyond the borders of the conflict: “If we mobilize as we do, it is not only for political reasons. This is because the Gazaoui-man, woman, child-is more than himself: he embodies the universal figure of the oppressed, humiliated, of the one to whom no right is recognized, that one can trample, bomb, while the powerful look away, hoping that everything is “cleaned” as soon as possible. »»

Mélenchon praised the dignity of the Palestinians in the face of horror: “It’s been 613 days, 20 months, that this martyrdom lasts. And they hold. They did not fall for it. And we are there. For us, it’s easier, but we are there. »»

He also denounced the violence of the public debate in France : “We are here because we have never given way. Everyone watching you take a lesson in courage. They thought that by barking in cadence on the TV sets, lying like teeth teeth, insulting tirelessly, they would make you lower your eyes. But we did not look up. This is what happened. »» A discourse made by the conviction that commitment, individual and collective, remains the engine of human history.
