Queremos
dar a conocer nuestra posición sobre la visita y el evento que tendrán
lugar este martes 12: Otras voces, otras miradas: juntas por la paz en
Medio Oriente. Según se informa en la invitación ampliamente difundida,
en el evento participarán mujeres israelíes de la organización Women
Wage Peace y palestinas (con ciudadanía israelí) de la organización
Women of the Sun, que “impulsan el diálogo y la inclusión de mujeres en
las negociaciones, para que no se derrame ni una gota más de sangre de
sus hijos e hijas”.
¿Quién puede estar
en contra de un objetivo tan noble y a la vez tan vago y general? Pero
nos preguntamos: ¿este evento va a condenar el genocidio y va a hacer
propuestas concretas para parar la hambruna, los bombardeos y las balas
que matan a más de cien gazatíes por día, incluyendo 28 niñas y niños
(un salón escolar entero al día, como denunció UNICEF) y para parar las
agresiones constantes de Israel a la población palestina de Cisjordania?
El
pueblo palestino nos ha enseñado a sospechar de cualquier iniciativa
que llame en términos generales a buscar el diálogo y la negociación
para “poner fin al conflicto y lograr la paz” sin explicitar la
necesidad de acabar con los crímenes de guerra y de lesa humanidad que
Israel comete contra el pueblo palestino desde hace 77 años.
Cualquier
propuesta de sentar a dialogar a “ambas partes” para poner fin al
“conflicto” (aunque incluya a las mujeres) sin reconocer la enorme
asimetría de poder y privilegio existente entre quienes son parte del
grupo opresor y quienes son parte del grupo oprimido es ingenua en el
mejor de los casos, y malintencionada en el peor. No juzgamos las
motivaciones de las mujeres que participan en esta iniciativa; pero
sabemos que este tipo de actividades son funcionales al relato oficial
del sionismo y sus aliados, que habla de “guerra” y “conflicto” para
ocultar su régimen ilegal de ocupación colonial, apartheid y genocidio.
Quienes
sufrimos las dictaduras en el Cono Sur conocemos bien la teoría de los
dos demonios: el relato falaz que habla de una guerra entre “dos bandos”
y pone en pie de igualdad al terrorismo de Estado y a quienes luchan
contra él, a los victimarios y a sus víctimas, asignándoles la misma
responsabilidad por la violencia.
El
pueblo palestino le ha puesto un nombre a estas operaciones que juntan a
personas israelíes y palestinas a “dialogar para buscar la paz” sin
abordar las causas profundas de la violencia: normalización.
A
partir de los Acuerdos de Oslo que pusieron en marcha el engañoso
“proceso de paz” se desarrolló una lucrativa industria de la paz –muy
bien financiada por Occidente– para sentar a personas israelíes y
palestinas, judías y árabes, a dialogar sobre la necesidad de “hacer la
paz”. Mientras el pueblo palestino esperaba que esos diálogos y las
negociaciones desembocarían en el establecimiento de su Estado, los
israelíes usaban el proceso como cortina de humo para ganar tiempo,
seguir robando territorio y crear así hechos consumados irreversibles.
Las
instituciones sionistas de Uruguay y Argentina que llevan adelante esta
iniciativa surgida en Israel pretenden que se ignore esos antecedentes y
el contexto del genocidio. No por casualidad esta visita tiene tan
buena acogida en las esferas del poder político y mediático; no por
casualidad se las va a nombrar visitantes ilustres, y serán recibidas
por el presidente Orsi y la vicepresidenta Cosse, que todavía no han
respondido a la solicitud de entrevista ni a las cartas que colectivos
de solidaridad con Palestina y movimientos sociales le hemos presentado
al gobierno desde antes de asumir.
No
es con llamados genéricos al diálogo y a la paz que se va a poner fin a
la violencia en la región. El Estatuto de Roma de la Corte Penal
Internacional, la Corte Internacional de Justicia, la Asamblea General
de la ONU, expertas/os del Consejo de DD.HH. liderados por la Relatora
Especial Francesca Albanese y el Grupo de La Haya lo han dicho con
claridad: los Estados tienen la obligación legal de aplicar sanciones,
embargo de armas de doble vía (no vender ni comprar) y suspensión de
relaciones diplomáticas, comerciales y de toda índole con Israel hasta
que ponga fin a su régimen de apartheid y genocidio.
Exigimos
al gobierno de Uruguay que cumpla con sus obligaciones internacionales,
empezando por clausurar la Oficina de la ANII en Jerusalén. Y
exhortamos a nuestro pueblo, a las organizaciones sociales y políticas y
a toda la ciudadanía a llevar adelante acciones y campañas efectivas de
boicot a las empresas e instituciones que colaboran y lucran con el
genocidio.
No habrá paz verdadera ni duradera para ningún pueblo hasta que Palestina sea plenamente libre.

El 9 de marzo de 2023, el abogado Mario Vargas pagó con su tarjeta de crédito $12,5 millones a la agencia de viajes chilena, Goes Travel World. Esa operadora turística es la que, según la defensa del ministro Diego Simpertigue, facturó ese mismo mes a él y a su pareja, la notaria Gilda Miranda, el viaje que hicieron en abril de ese año con los abogados Lagos y Vargas. La investigación judicial debe determinar si la compra de esos pasajes fue algún tipo de retribución para el magistrado. Sin mostrar respaldos de pagos, el abogado de Simpertigue señaló a CIPER que el ministro pagó su viaje. Ante el Congreso, el mismo defensor había señalado que Vargas fue quien financió los pasajes con su tarjeta de crédito, pero que luego le reembolsaron. La defensa de Vargas declinó referirse al tema.

siuhin@aol.com (Lee Siu Hin), Los Angeleshere is the call to action and the points of unity we consensed upon at the meeting last saturday.
love&revolution,
brieeeeeOn Saturday, 21 April, 2001, we are proposing a multinational day of protest in the San Diego/Tijuana region in solidarity with the protests in Quebec as part of the campaign against the FTAA and for humanity. Come join us in support of worker's rights, immigrant rights, indigenous rights and the environment.
Points of Unity
Promote a multinational day of action on 21 April to support the mobilization in Quebec, Canada. We will show that they are not alone. Living in the US/Mexico border, we know the consequences of the neoliberal free trade: freedom for businesses in both countries; army and higher border fences for the people.
The Network of the Globalphobics is asking indigenous farmworkers groups in San Quintin to promote a protest in that area if that action strengthens their struggle and organization. (Resolution of the Globalphobic Conference, Oct, 2000)If San Quintin's groups accept to organize a 21 April protest in the Valley of San Quintin, the Coalition to Stop the FTAA will promote this protest and coordinate it with the border protest.
Support the delegation of the EZLN from Chiapas to Mexico City. The Network of the Globalphobics is endorsing the caravan that will leave from Tijuana to Mexico City to meet the EZLN delgation on 10 March, 2001. We propose that the FTAA Coalition endorse and promote financial support to the caravan. The caravan will meet the Commanadancia General of the EZLN. They will invite them to attend the 21 April protest in Baja California/California and write a public declaration supporting the US/Mexico border demonstration.
Ask all groups in the Stop FTAA Coalition San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and other cities to endorse a public declaration explaining that we will organize a non-violent, legal protest. This means that:
No groups or individuals will engage in violence, verbal or physical.
No groups or individuals will engage in property destruction.
No groups or individuals will plan civil disobedience or direct action.If we demonstrate in the border area, we don't want to give excuses to the Army and Border Patrol to repress us. We will promote and defend the participation of different groups of workers, students, religious organizations, unions, migrants, Chicanos/as (que mas grupos?).
At the border wall, we hanged the large poster "Free Trade Area of the Americas" by Beehive Design Collecive.

Immigrant-Worker Solidarity Day Of Action
SpeakOut! in New York City Brings Hundreds TogetherA day of immigrant workers and community activists gathering to speak out the Issues
http://immigrantsolidarity.org/speakout.shtml
On the first day of the mobilization to protest the Bush Agenda at the Republican National Convention in New York City, 500 people attended the Speak Out! organized by the Immigrant Solidarity Network. The program was designed to lift the voices of grassroots Immigrant organizations and workers, raising awareness of the many varied issues and struggles being led from within immigrant communities themselves.
Speakers from Latino, South Asian, Muslim, Asian and African communities came together to relate news from their struggles. One of the goals of the conference was to bring the disparate focuses of many groups into a forum that would emphasize unity and promote the development of strategic action for all immigrant groups to share in the coming years.
Another goal was to present the specific information about "on the ground" immigrant struggles to the mostly foriegn policy oriented activists who make up the non-immigrant and non-people of color "left."
Many people who came to listen commented on the value of the day and expressed an appreciation for the event, reflecting that there is a need for this type of community and movement-building work.
Over 30 grassroots groups participated or endorsed the event. Speakers and tables from these groups provided a broad slice of the experience of Immigrants in post-911 US.
Organizers are looking forward to moving forward in the future with the idea of a national stategy conference in which grassroots groups from all regions of the US could meet and develop a common stategy for increasing their political power and securing the goals of legalization, justice and a life free from discrimination and racism.
Immigrant Solidarity Network joined in two marches/demonstrations on Monday, August 30. The Marches - Still We Rise's Poor Peoples' March and the Poor Peoples' Economic Human Rights Campaign March For Our Lives - focused on redressing injustices and the negative domestic effects of US policies that have spread war and neo-liberal colonialism around the world.
Photos from the Aug 27 Speak Out!
Demands expressed for Immigrants Rights at the Aug 27 Speak Out included:
Voting Rights for Immigrants
Widely practiced during the first 150 years of U.S. history, immigrant voting is now undergoing a revival across the United States as communities embrace the idea of universal enfranchisement. In more than 20 countries in Europe, immigrants already have voting rights, which they have held for decades. New York City is now home to 1,361,007 immigrants of voting age who are not yet citizens. That means one 1of 5 New Yorkers of voting age can't vote. These city residents are subject to all the laws that citizens must observe. They contribute in countless ways to the economic vitality and social and cultural life of this city that serves as the unofficial capital of the world.
No to the Future Special Registration and Immigrant Deportation
Although declared “ended” by the Bush administration, according from the National Immigration Forum the special registration didn’t end and it can come back anytime the government wants it to. The "call-in" provisions of the INS Special Registration program require innocent immigrants to report to INS offices to “register”, only to find themselves subjecedt to arbitrary arrest, detention, abuse and possible deportation.
Oppose the CLEAR Act
This bill requires state and local police to enforce federal, civil immigration laws. Using local police to enforce federal immigration laws conflicts with their primary mission of fighting crime in our communities. Under CLEAR, Domestic violence, gang intimidation and drug activity will likely all increase because when immigrants begin to see local police as agents of the federal government, with the power to deport them or their family members, they are less likely to approach local law enforcement with tips on crimes or suspicious activity.
Support the DREAM Act
Many undocumented students find colleges and university doors closed to them because of their immigration status after graduation. These are longtime residents of this country who have grown up and have made the United States their home. Thus, many students are forced to abandon their dreams and hopes of a career. By supporting the DREAM Act, we are investing in communities that would eventually benefit from the careers that these students are pursuing. Our communities cannot afford to be ignoring these students anymore!
September 20-September 25 2004: Week of Action for Immigration Reform
https://www.immigrantsolidarity.org/bulletin/09.16.04_ISN_bulletin.html#sep20
What is The Week of Action?
Across the country immigrant rights organizations, unions, churches, and student groups have committed to make September 20th- September 26th a week of action for comprehensive immigration reform. There will also be a lobby day in Washington D.C. on September 21st.The past year was filled with promises by different elected officials and the administration of immigration reform. Yet as we approach the end of the congressional session the promises have not materialized into concrete gains for the immigrant community. The Dream Act and AGJobs have not moved or, in the case of AGJobs, have been purposely stalled. Therefore we need to keep up the pressure and hold our officials accountable to hardworking immigrants across the country.
We hope that the Week of Action will give it more visibility and allow you to tell communities and the general public that your action is part of a nationwide movement.

July 28-30 2006: Washington DC National Grassroots Immigrant Strategy ConferenceA Success and Milestone for the Immigrant Rights Movement!
Yesterday We Marched

Tomorrow We'll Achieve Our Dreams and Goals!Organized by: National Immigrant Solidarity Network
http://www.immigrantsolidarity.org/2006Conference/
The 3-day (July 28-30, 2006) Washington DC National Grassroots Immigrant Strategy Conference at American University has been without doubt a success and a milestone for the immigrant rights movement. Organized by National Immigrant Solidarity Network, one of the leading coalitions involved in the March 25 Los Angeles "Gran Marcha" and the May 1st "A Day Without Immigrants" General Strike/Boycott, there were approximately 180 people from over 80 organizations across the country in attendance.
The conference represented diverse groups, including Latin@s, APIs, African Americans, African immigrants, European immigrants, LGBTQ, women, youth/students, interfaith, peace/global justice activists, white allies, labor, immigrant day laborers and community organizers from two dozen states. Community/grassroots immigrant activists from across the country met face-to-face for the first time to discuss how to collectively build a new national, broad-based, immigrant rights/civil rights movement.During the strategy section on Sunday (7/30), we re-affirmed our "Ten Points of Unity" for the immigrant movement, and adopted the national immigrant strategy/action plans for the next 3-6 months with more than a dozen working groups [includes: Student/Youth, Labor, Direct Action, Day Labors, Border, Events, Multi-Ethnic, Community Work, Legislation, LGBT, Women, Deportation, Education & Outreach and Interfaith], and point persons to coordinate each working group. We also began the discussion of creating a concept of the immigrant solidarity movement: grassroots, volunteer-based, direct action-oriented with strong emphases of community outreach and popular education.Some of the highlights included:
- Multi-ethnic, multi-issue and multi-constituent based immigrant movement, inviting groups that traditionally have been marginalized from the struggle, such as LGBTQ, women and student/youth, African immigrants, African American, to be part of the coalition.
- Linking our struggles to the anti-war and global justice movements, and mutually supporting each other's cause- Institutionalizing the May 1st boycott "A Day Without Immigrants" and beginning planning for May 1st 20
- Supporting nationwide immigrant marches/actions during the Labor Day Weekend, and the September 7th Camp Democracy's Immigrant Rights Day in Washington DC, called by antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan.
- Direct actions as an important part of the immigrant movement.
- Grassroots organizing strategy and education programs.
- 'La gran marcha fronteriza flor y canto' - Conduct a Border Walk during Spring Break 2007, from San Diego, CA to Brownsville, TX.
- Working towards the creation of model legislation that resonates with the movement's principles and values.
- Legislative campaigns, such as immigrant voter registration, and supporting bills such as the Legal Immigration and Family Equity Act (LIFE) and the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA).
- National support hotline for immigrants who need legal referral, detention support, or help with other urgent need
- Developing a vocabulary to replace "amnesty" and "legalization."There's no doubt that this conference has been the beginning of an historical turning point for the immigrant solidarity movement. With other immigrant conferences in Chicago, IL organized by the March 10th Movement and in Oakland, CA organized by NNIRR, we show that we have the will and strength to continue our momentum, and that we have the passion and energy to fight for our justice and dignity in the years to come.Please visit our photo album showcasing the conference

Together We Build A New National, Broad-Based, Immigrant Rights/Civil Rights Movement!
3-Days conference Ends With Sucessful Adoptions of National Immigrant Solidarity Network 2007 - 2008 Strategic Immigrant Campaign Framework!
We believe our goals for the next 16 months should be focused on building multi-ethnic, multi-constituent, broad-based grassroots immigrant rights movements across the country-especially in the southern states and the rural communities. We envision this as a de-centralized volunteer-based community-rooted immigrant rights movement with youth, women, workers and community members playing a more active role on campaign formulation and decision making processes to shape and lead the movement.
Politically, we should focus LESS on Congressional legislation for the next two years, and focus MORE on building local coalitions, useful resources, and community-based education campaigns, such as: “know your rights” training, and local immigrant campaigns that will directly benefit communities, such as: counter-raids, detention & deportation support networks with useful resources; immigrant labor rights campaigns; campaign against local anti-immigrant ordinances; and linking the immigrant rights movement with other struggles, such as: war in Iraq and globalization.
Based on the feedback from our members and allies we had formulated our 2007-2008 Strategic Immigrant Campaign Strategy during our July 27-29 National Grassroots Immigrant Strategy Conference in Richmond, VA. This is a non-binding resolution, that will only provide you a menu of suggested actions that can guide and encourage your local organization to discuss and choose which action(s) you would like to focus on in order to organize with us:
1. Pressure Political Candidates at 2008 Elections
2. Link Immigrant Rights Movements with Other Struggles, and Building a Multi-ethnic, Multi-constituent-based Immigrant Rights Movement
3. Campaign against Raids, Detention & Deportation; and Support National Sanctuary Movement
4. Support Immigrant Labor Campaigns and Day Labor Centers

July 2017: U.S. Activists Delegation to China
Historic U.S. Activists Delegation to China
http://immigrantsolidarity.org/China2017/Article/Article.html
In July 2017, the first-of-its-kind US activists solidarity delegation to China, organized by the National Immigrant Solidarity Network and activist Lee Siu Hin, the long-time Chinese American activist, brought a dozen North American activists to Beijing and Shanghai to meet with Chinese activists, officials, workers; and to explore in-depth historic, cultural, social, political and economic aspects of China.
The delegation idea began 10 years ago, when we had many debates about China with U.S. labor and anti-globalization activists. I then realized that there’s an urgent need for U.S. activists to meet with Chinese activist face-to-face, for honest dialogues. However, it took several years of non-stop negotiations between both countries, and to finally generate enough activists’ interest to organize the delegation.
November 2017: Chinese Activists Delegation to America
http://www.immigrantsolidarity.org/ChineseDelegation1Nov2017/ENG.html
While millions of tourists, students and business people travel between China and the U.S. every year, grassroots activists from both countries rarely meet face-to-face for political dialogues.
With increased tension between U.S. and North Korea, China bashing, Trump's war rhetoric heard loud and clear across Asia, honest, in-depth and even controversial dialogues between Chinese and U.S. activists are increasingly necessary.
Lee Siu Hin, a long-time Chinese American activist, began organizing activist delegations to and from the U.S. and China. After the first successful and historical U.S. grassroots activists' delegation to China last July (see previous article), a small Chinese activist delegation visited the U.S. between November 8 and 18. They met with different activists from across the Southwest, attended a protest, volunteered in a soup kitchen, and slept at the activists' homes. Chinese Are Coming！
This delegation represented today’s broad-based Chinese left-wing and Maoist cyber activism.
Zhao Shan is a left-wing media activist from Shanghai, China, and a retired state enterprise worker who currently runs a website that sponsors regular social events for middle or older generation Chinese left-wing/Maoist communities. They hosted our last U.S. delegation meeting in Shanghai.
Li Yuqiao is a left-wing media activist from Beijing, China who is a new generation college-educated cyber activist who supports Chinese government policies and the Communist Party of China. He was the co-organizer for direct action against the World Bank's former chief Robert Zoellick at a press conference in Beijing in 2012. They hosted our last U.S. delegation meeting in Beijing.

December 2019-January 2020 Silk Road China Delegation
http://www.immigrantsolidarity.org/China/Dec2019SilkRoad.html
Building solidarity and friendship with China, between December 27, 2019 to January 7, 2020, a China Silk Road Tour led by former US congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and organised by Chinese-American activist Lee Siu Hin. There were various strands of political ideology to be found among the 20 delegates, but we were united in our opposition to the growing US-led Cold War, which is directed primarily at China and which seeks to prevent the emergence of a multipolar world.
We spent around three days each in Beijing, Xi’an (capital of Shaanxi province, and one of the oldest cities in China), Dunhuang (a small oasis city that served as an important stop on the ancient Silk Road) and Ürümqi (capital of the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region). China is enormous, but this itinerary – stretching across the north of the country – allowed us to develop some understanding of its diversity.
September 2020 Book Project: “Capitalism on A Ventilator”An anthology by social justice activists
Edited by: Sara Flounders & Lee Siu Hin
In January 2020, China alerted major international scientific bodies about the eruption of a dangerous new virus and heavily promoted basic precautions. U.S. politicians and corporate media ridiculed and ignored the warnings. Washington ramped up its policy of racist propaganda, military encirclement, trade war and sanctions. The consequence, tens of thousands of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. – the highest in the world. Rather than global cooperation on testing, vaccine development and PPE supplies, the U.S. chose competition, profits and military build-up. Even with fewer resources, socialist countries, including Cuba and Vietnam, using people’s mobilizations, were better prepared to protect their populations. Their death rates are among the lowest.

November 6-9, 2023: China Is NOT Our Enemy (CINOE) Xinjiang Fact Finding Tour
Cosponsored by Code Pink and China-US Solidarity Network
Video: https://youtu.be/80cIgFxiusg
At the current high of U.S.-backed Israeli genocide against Palestinian in Gaza, the United States continues to launch racist anti-China campaign and military intimidation along Chinese coast; include the baseless Xinjiang “genocide” and “slave labor” smear campaign.
Due to the U.S. corporate media censorships, most westerners don’t know anything about China’s Xinjiang region. When the western peace groups want to visit the region and file an accurate report to debunk western’s lies, they’ll face harsh reactionary red-baiting response against them telling the truth.
U.S.-peace group Code Pink’s China Is Not Our Enemy (CINOE) campaign, a long-time ally of me, was planning to organize a fact-finding tour to China, but forced to cancelled at the last moment because the recent false New York Times report, and right-wing politicians against them, calling them paid “Chinese agent”.
Therefore; Code Pink asked my organization—China-US Solidarity Network to take over the tour. Our organization had been working and visit Xinjiang region for the past several years, with several in-depth social research and fact-finding trips; based on our finding, we’re producing a documentary call: Voice of Xinjiang VoiceXJ www.VoiceXJ.org

For the past several months, several members from our organization, and our international antiwar allies had been try to enter Gaza via Egypt to deliver aids, but without success. The Rafah crossing connecting Egypt and Gaza has been invaded and occupied by the Israeli Occupied Force (IOF), forced to closed down since April. No humanitarian volunteers and supplies can enter Gaza, how should we fight for break the siege, and to deliver our solidarity aids in the future?
We have been communicating with many international and Egypt local partners, UN agencies, and aid workers in Gaza, to strategize how we can involve.VIDEO Panda Aid: Story of Our Chinese Activists Organized June Egypt-Gaza Humanitarian MissionYouTube: https://youtu.be/JmCQBnMdC_w
Panda Aid 熊猫支援
Since October 2023, the Israeli army, with the support of the United States, had carried out numerous attack humanitarian convoys into Gaza, deliberately creating large-scale famine and medical shortages.
Since mid-April, after IOF invaded and occupied the Rafah Crossing in southern Gaza, the land crossing from Egypt to Gaza was forced to close, and all humanitarian relief supplies sent from Egypt to Gaza were blocked.
Now it is August, there’s no sign of reopening the border. . . .
Panda Aid is an organization initiated by progressive Chinese grassroots activists from all across China and the United States, a first of this kid to support humanitarian activism and committed to raise the voices of China to the global South.
In June 2024, Panda Aid successfully completed our second humanitarian mission to Egypt. We donated supplies to the Network for Palestine, a local community organization to Gazan refugees stranded in Egypt. They have their own relief center to receive and distribute daily necessities to refugees. During the second humanitarian trip in June, we organized a donation run, including: tableware, kitchen utensils, diapers, mattresses, etc. Together with other aid organizations from all over the world, we support the Palestinian people.

Douyin (TikTok China edition) : https://v.douyin.com/qW2irIrJj74/Solidarity greetings! I am Lee Siu Hin from China Panda Aid. Since October 2023, we have been working with the Palestinian Doctors Association in Europe PalMed, headquartered in Paris, France, to help them purchase medical supplies in China and send them to Gaza. The supplies were ready in about a month. Because the Israeli military cut off all humanitarian aid channels to Gaza, we were unable to transport the supplies from Shenzhen, China to Cairo, Egypt, and then to Gaza.
We originally planned to go to Cairo, Egypt with the medical supplies in January 2025 to hold an event to witness the delivery of relief supplies from China to Gaza, but we had been waiting for more than three months without any progress. In March 2025, Israel tore up the ceasefire agreement and once again bloodbathed Gaza. Facing a dire challenge, we decided to organize an emergency working trip to Egypt at the end of March to learn about the latest status of medical and humanitarian support work in Gaza.

July 17 2025 New York, NY: Heroes of Gaza Humanitarian Aid and Peace Activism Awards
Global Solidarity Urged at International Webinar on Humanitarian Aid in Gaza
Grassroots Aid Takes Center Stage: Spotlight on the “Overlooked Forces”
In her opening remarks, Sara Flounders highlighted the crucial yet often overlooked role of grassroots organizations in Gaza, noting that much of the aid work is carried out not by large Western NGOs but by smaller, community-rooted groups working in close coordination with international volunteers.
“This webinar is about giving visibility to those organizations—especially from Palestine, the Global South, and communities of color—that have long been ignored,” said Lee Siu Hin. Representing a diaspora-led organization rooted in the Chinese and Chinese American communities, Lee Siu Hin emphasized Panda Aid’s mission to connect global movements for justice, with a special focus on the unique role of China and other developing countries in humanitarian response.
August 1–4, 2025: Karbala: China’s Panda Aid Voices Support for Palestine at Fourth Al-Aqsa Call Conference in Karbala
Representing the Chinese humanitarian organization Panda Aid, Lee Siu Hin and Mr. Xu attended the conference, demonstrating China’s active role in global humanitarian solidarity. This marked Lee Siu Hin’s second visit to Iraq since 2003—when, as a journalist for the U.S. left-wing Pacifica Radio, he reported from an Iraq devastated by the U.S. invasion and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, later publishing report/CD book Reports from Baghdad.Douyin (TikTok China): https://v.douyin.com/E-0eyZXOqng/
At the Closing Session on August 3, Lee Siu Hin delivered an important speech titled “From Karbala to Gaza: The Peoples of the World Unite to Sacrifice for Peace and Justice” (full text in Appendix 2). He called on the international community: “From Karbala to Gaza, people from around the world, different race, religion, ethnicity, identity and political believes are UNITED to Sacrificed for Peace and Justice! TODAY WE are ALL Gazans!
August 2024-August 2025: China's Panda Aid: One Year of Global Solidarity and Humanitarian Action for Palestine (Report)Since the outbreak of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation in Gaza on October 7, 2023, waves of global antiwar protests have erupted, with people around the world organizing actions against the U.S.-backed Israeli invasion of Gaza. Yet a significant gap persisted: voices from the Global South, especially from China, have long been marginalized or excluded by Western-dominated media and antiwar movements.
China’s support for Palestine, however, has deep historical roots. China formally recognized Palestine in 1965, and for over half a century, aid and donations have flowed from both government and grassroots levels. In the social media era, Chinese netizens have rallied significant public support for Palestine on platforms such as Douyin (TikTok China), making China one of the largest clusters of pro-Palestinian voices globally. Nevertheless, language barriers, cultural differences, systemic bias, and structural exclusion by the U.S. and Western-dominated humanitarian system have made it difficult for Chinese and other Global South voices to be heard clearly. Many Palestinian organizations and conferences even face challenges in knowing how to invite Chinese representatives.
Over the past year, this situation has begun to change. Representing China's Panda Aid, Mr. Lee Siu Hin was invited to attend multiple solidarity conferences organized by Palestinian communities and their allies in various countries of the Global South. These events offered him opportunities to present China’s contributions and perspectives to an international audience. This report focuses on the period from August 2024 to August 2025, documenting a year of global activity spanning Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, and South America, including online webinars, international forums, meetings of transnational alliances, and core Middle East conferences. It records the efforts of Chinese grassroots forces in extending humanitarian aid to Gaza and contributing a unique voice to the Palestinian national liberation movement through international collaboration.

Action LA Network and National Immigrant Solidarity Network are joining Los Angeles Community Self-Defense Coalition and The Home Depot Boycott Coalition camapign to against ICE kidnappings.
Los Angeles has become the testing grounds for illegal U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) kidnappings and continue to bring militarized violence to our places of work and indigenous communities. Home Depots have become the epicenter for these raids and Day Laborers (DL), their prime targets.
Home Depot has failed to speak out and condemn the raids. Despite claims they don't work with ICE, the company allows ICE to operate without warrants to harass and kidnap customers inside their stores and in their parking lots.
The Home Depot Boycott Coalition - a collective of over 60 organizations across Southern California, calls for an immediate boycott of Home Depot until our demands are met.
November 29, 2025: Voice of Xizang (Tibet) VoiceXZ--Medog, Monpa Ethnic Group, Yarlung Tsangpo Hydropower Station, Tibetan Buddhism

Xizang (Tibet), a mysterious land on the road to modernization, is an inseparable part of Chinese territory. Since the Yuan Dynasty, the central government has consistently exercised effective jurisdiction over Xizang. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Xizang was called "Tubo"; during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, it was called "U-Tsang"; and during the Qing Dynasty, it was called "Tangut" or "Tibet," among other names. From the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty onwards, it was called "Xizang." On May 23, 1951, Xizang was peacefully liberated. After the suppression of the Xizang rebellion launched by the Dalai Lama group in 1959, the central government began to exercise comprehensive and direct jurisdiction over Xizang, finally liberating million of slaves controlled by Xizang religious estates. On September 9, 1965, the Tibet Autonomous Region was officially established. After nearly sixty years of development, on December 23, 2019, Xizang had basically eliminated absolute poverty, achieving overall poverty alleviation across the entire region.
The Tibet Autonomous Region not only boasts the unique geological features and natural scenery of the "Roof of the World," but also distinctive social and cultural landscapes, and the multi-ethnic Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
In mid-October 2025, we finished our investigative documentary trip to Xinjiang, and now we have arrived at the top of the world in the Himalayas to begin our two-week documentary filming and first-hand research trip to Xizang. We will interview and communicate with different groups, including Tibetans, religious figures, women, and villagers in new rural areas, and listen to their voices of Xizang.

November 15, 2025 Panda Aid: From China with Love to Gazahttps://www.palestinewatch.net/post/11-15-panda-aid-from-china-with-love-to-gaza
The China Panda Aid organized Chinese and U.S. activists for fund-raising campaigns to Istanbul-based Medics Worldwide, to support their hospital project in Gaza for child patients. This is our historical first time the joint-international grassroots donation to support hospital in Gaza!
We raised $2500 for this project.
Two surgical procedures were performed for two children at Patients Friends Hospital in Gaza City.
- First procedure: Hernia
- Second procedure: undescended testes
They were carried out by the pediatric surgeon, Dr. Ismail Nassar.
We raised funds from our September 2025 U.S. activist delegation to Xinjiang, it was a successful project linking activist facts-finding delegation with humanitarian projects; linking China’s Xinjiang with Gaza. Think Globally, Act Locally.
September 2024 – December 2025: Panda Aid – Gaza Humanitarian Assistance Work ReportSince the outbreak of the latest round of war in Gaza, humanitarian assistance has increasingly become a field subjected to simultaneous pressure from military blockade, political maneuvering, and competing public narratives. As a result, it is often reduced to oversimplified questions—such as whether aid is entering Gaza, whether supplies are being looted, or whether international organizations have “failed”—while the concrete realities behind these processes remain poorly understood. Rarely is there a systematic examination of how a specific consignment of humanitarian medical supplies actually attempts to enter Gaza, what routes it must navigate, and what layers of obstruction, negotiation, and power struggles it encounters along the way.
This report is based on the direct participation and implementation by Panda Aid, a Chinese civil society organization, in Gaza-related medical supply assistance and medical donation projects between September 2024 and December 2025. It provides a comprehensive record of the institutional structures, political blockades, operational logic of the United Nations system, and grassroots implementation challenges encountered by a civilian humanitarian initiative in real-world conditions. Rather than remaining at the level of moral declaration, the report draws on timelines, hands-on operational experience, and first-hand exchanges to present a grounded account of how contemporary humanitarian assistance for Gaza is operated, obstructed, and, at times, able to find narrow openings to continue moving forward.
This document serves both as a phased summary of work completed and as a practical reference for future volunteers, donors, and researchers. Its aim is to offer an experience-based, citable record that helps illuminate the actual mechanisms through which humanitarian assistance for Gaza functions in practice.
