Muslim Literary Festival’s Statement on Lebanon

The organizing committee of Muslim Literary Festival (MLF) stands in solidarity with Lebanon and condemns the ongoing attacks enacted by the settler-colonial state of Israel, which have led to significant devastation and loss of innocent lives. Such an act of military intrusion is utterly unacceptable and must be met with a unified international outcry. Muslim Literary Festival calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli military forces at the Lebanese borders Read here.

1 million Lebanese people have been displaced while more than 1000 killed and 6000 injured by the Israeli invasion according to Lebanese government officials Read here.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the victims, their families, and all those affected by these horrific events. We stand in solidarity with the people of Lebanon as they face these incredibly difficult times and call for immediate humanitarian assistance and justice for the victims.

In these trying times, it is crucial that we come together to support Lebanon and advocate for a future free from such atrocities.

There are several other countries and regions being impacted by imperialism, and MLF also stands in solidarity with Palestine, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, Hawaii, and all oppressed peoples of the world. Our organization stands for liberation and will always stand against oppression.
