With the complicity of Bush and the UN, Sharon
the murderer, continues his policy of extermination of the Palestinian
people
When the tanks leave Yenin (West Bank), and the journalists and Red
Cross personal enter into what's left of the city, they see with horror
the massacre that zionism has committed on the Palestinian people. The
bodies of women and children are mute witnesses of the true policy of
Sharon towards a people who wont abandon their land and resists in a
desperate manner for survival against a war machine that is financed
by North American imperialism.
What UN functionaries with "horror" today see, had already
been denounced by hundreds of thousands of fighters through these last
20 days, there have been demonstrations in all of the countries of the
world demanding the immediate retreat of the Israeli troops from the
occupied territories. The massacre caused by Israel, is no surprise
to the fighters, and it also isn't for the UN and Bush like they want
us believe.
The peoples of the world understand today the true character of the
Racist-Zionist state of Israel, as the guardian of Imperialism's interests
in the Middle East, that to destroy a people and maintain the capitalist
stability in the area, does not doubt in committing crimes against humanity
comparable with the nazi genocide during the Second World War.
Today while they continue invading the Palestinian cities, murdering
fighters, and maintaining the siege on the Church of the Nativity in
Bethlehem, the UN negotiates with Sharon the character of the investigation
that needs to take place in Yenin, where he will be guaranteed not to
go to the Hague tribunal, accused for the crimes committed in Palestine.
The proof of the crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinian
people, is enormous, so much that because of the mobilizations in rejection
all over the world, the U.S. has had to accept the formation of an investigation
committee, that would allow it to wash its hands in front of its main
associate in the Middle East.
While the UN speaks of a commission, it says nothing about the thousands
of Palestinians arrested by Israel, which are mostly kids from 12 to
16 years old, and of the tortures to the detained allowed by the tribunals,
where they are kept un-communicated for 18 days in torture centers of
Sharon.
What's gravest is that the army maintains its offensive over the Palestinian
people, entering and leaving the cities with the objective of killing
or arresting those who return to their homes after the horror. While
declaring that he is ready to enter the "Second Phase" of
the offensive, which is enclosing the Palestinian cities to convert
them in to real permanent concentration camps, this with the agreement
of Yankee Imperialism.
Unfortunately, Arafat giving in to the pressures of Sharon, the UN,
and Bush, has condemned to 15 years of jail to four Palestinian fighters
accused of the murderer of Israeli tourism minister, Rejavam Zeevi,
accepting that they be guarded by British and American soldiers.
The UIT is with all of the fighters of the world, that with mobilization
demand the immediate retreat of the Israeli troops from the occupied
territories. The defense of the Palestinian people is an immediate task,
there will be no peace in the Middle East while the State of Israel,
main responsible for the violence in the area, exists. We call to the
fighters to have no confidence in the investigation carried forward
by the UN, because it has been accomplice of the massacre, by taking
no measures to stop it. We call for the formation of an independent
commission made up of fighters, worker organizations, democratic and
human rights, and personalities like Saramago, so that Sharon be tried
and imprisoned immediately.
We support the declarations of Mario Lill, leader of the Brazilian MST
who demands that his government break ties with Israel and we call to
the peoples to mobilize demanding the Latin American governments, that
denounced the genocide coup against the Venezuelan People, and to the
European community that denounces the fascist Le Pen in France, to break
diplomatic and commercial ties with the State of Israel. And to the
Arab governments to join the boycott carried forward by Iraq.
Israeli army out of the occupied territories
Immediate freedom to Barghouti and all the detained
For independent commission to investigate the Yenin massacre
For the end of the zionist concentration camps
For the return of all the refugees!
Support to the heroic resistance of the Palestinian people
For a laic, democratic, and non racist Palestine
