On March 22, the Korean Council joined the 37th 37th Emergency Action Condemning Israel's Massacre in Gaza, standing in solidarity with their urgent call for peace.
Israel has resumed mass killings in Gaza, launching a surprise airstrike at 2 a.m. that killed over 400 unarmed civilians in just five hours. Most areas have already been devastated, leaving children, the elderly, and women in conditions beyond recovery. The Korean Council, we have long spoken out against war and for women’s rights in conflict, cannot hide our grief at such horrific news.
While countless lives are being senselessly lost in the ongoing war, the National Defense University in South Korea has announced plans to invite a retired Israeli general to deliver a lecture focused on military preparedness. Reflecting on the brutal history of Japan’s military sexual slavery during the Japanese occupation of Korea, the Korean Council strongly condemns this invitation. Inviting a high-ranking officer from a nation responsible for mass killings is an act of ignorance and insensitivity.
The Korean Council expressed deep dismay at the lack of historical awareness within a higher education institution like the National Defense University, calling the decision an affront to justice and human dignity.
Amid the ongoing atrocities, the Korean Council could not remain silent in the face of such suffering.
With countless flags and the collective hope of the people, we expressed our solidarity that Israel must cease its acts of mass killing, expansion of occupied territories, and abandonment of colonial settlement policies.
