PalmFeminism in Mallorca raises its voice to demand an end to the genocide in Gaza and freedom for the Palestinian people. "Every day, we witness with horror the atrocities committed by the Zionist state of Israel against the Palestinian people, who have been condemned to death, hunger, and destruction," the organizations stated in a statement. "The Palestinian people have been subjected to genocide and attempted mass extermination, with a special plan aimed at the extermination of women, as they are the bearers and guardians of life," they continued.

The feminists point out that UNRWA's latest August report indicates that the thresholds for famine have been reached in most of the Strip and for acute malnutrition in Gaza City. "More than 320,000 children—that is, the entire population under five in Gaza—are at risk of acute malnutrition, and thousands already suffer from severe acute malnutrition, the deadliest form of malnutrition," the groups denounce. They also point out that the UN has warned that the famine conditions suffered by some 55,000 pregnant women in Gaza increase the risk of miscarriages, stillbirths, and child malnutrition.

Nevertheless, they have expressed their support and defense of the Palestinian people, "victims of Israel, with the support of the US and the blatant complicity of the European Union." Furthermore, they denounced "the hypocritical and cowardly attitude" of Western countries, which have not openly condemned these crimes and considered them complicit in genocide. They also referred to the inconsistency of the Spanish state, which they criticized for recognizing the right to a Palestinian state while maintaining diplomatic and trade relations with Israel.

For all these reasons, feminist groups (Feminist Movement of Mallorca, the Levante Women's Collective, the Women's Lobby of Mallorca, Women in Dance of Alaró, Feminists in Action, the Mal pedazo Feminist Collective, Felanitx for Equality, the Mountain Feminist Collective, the Sencelles Feminist Movement, Women of Marratxí, the Antipatriarchal Assembly of Manacor, the Feminist Spirit of Capdepera and Cala Ratjada, the Higos de Primas and Binidonas Association) have called for a permanent and definitive ceasefire, the entry of unrestricted humanitarian aid, the expulsion of Palestinians from the Palestinian Territory and reparation and justice for the crimes committed by Israel before the International Criminal Court.
