Solidarity with the Palestinian people in their
struggle for national liberation
The brave
people of Palestine have been fighting against the Zionist aggression for more
than seven decades. They continue their struggle for national independence
despite facing very brutal and armed to the teeth Israeli repressive forces.
The Palestinian people have made enormous sacrifice for the cause of liberation
of their homeland.
The struggle
of the Palestinian people is not directed against a particular government of
the Zionist occupier, but against the occupation itself. The Zionist regime
means the occupation, means expulsion of millions of Palestinians from their
homeland and their replacement by millions of Jewish immigrants and settlers brought
from other countries to the occupied lands, it means armed attacks on refugee
camps and Palestinian neighbourhood from Jenin to Sheikh Jarrah, it means assassination of
journalists and press reporters, it means the expulsion of the Palestinians
from their communities to build settlements for the Jewish immigrants, etc.
The Zionists
have imposed an apartheid regime on millions of Palestinians whose land has
been forcibly occupied. Israeli Zionism is synonymous with racism, war crimes
and crimes against humanity, murder and imprisonment of Palestinian children.
It means creating despair and distress, taking the lives and land of
Palestinians and stealing the future of their children. Zionism also means
military aggression against neighbouring countries, it
means frequent attacks on Syria and constant threats and terrorist action
against Iran. The Israeli Zionists have established military bases on the
territory of Azerbaijan and have accumulated several hundred nuclear warheads.
The struggle
of the communist and democratic forces in the world against Zionism means
rejecting the illegitimate regime of Israel and ending the occupation and the
policy of apartheid. It concerns all democrats in the world who love justice
and freedom, including anti-Zionist Jews who are themselves persecuted by the
state of Israel because they support the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian
people. The land of Palestine is the common land of the indigenous peoples
regardless of their religion, be they Jews, Christians, Muslims or others.
Today, Zionism is the biggest source of organized anti-Semitism in the world,
and seeks to falsify and distort history in order to divert attention from the
systematic genocide of the Palestinians. The fight against Zionism is a fight
against anti-Semitism today.
It is a
well-recognized fact that all forms of struggle, including armed struggle, are
considers legal for the colonized peoples. The struggle of the Palestinian
people to liberate their homeland is legitimate and time has shown that peace
through negotiations with the Zionists aggressors is an illusion. Only the
valiant Palestinian people – not the imperialists, Zionists or reactionary Arab
leaders – have the right to decide their fate.
We strongly
condemn the repression and genocide perpetrated against the Palestinian people
and strongly support their heroic resistance against the Zionists and their
imperialist masters.
We strongly
condemn the reactionary Arab governments that try to normalize, contrary to the
will of Arab people, their relations with the occupying Israeli government.
We also
support the struggle of all forces fighting on different fronts against the
common enemy and for the expulsion of the aggressors. This support is not
formal but a confirmation of the inalienable right of the Palestinians to end
Zionist domination in the region, and it is the recognition of the right of the
Palestinians to national liberation. The Jews of Palestine, as well as
Palestinian Muslims and Christians, have the right to build and defend the democratic
and secular State of Palestine, so that peace and prosperity can prevail in the
region and the tension generated by more than half a century of illegal
occupation and immoral Israeli hegemony can be brought to an end.
Long live solidarity with the struggle of the
Palestinian people!
No to Zionism and the Zionist occupation of Arab lands!
