WPC statement of urgency!
No to the Israeli invasion to Gaza-Stop the massacre of the Palestinian people!
The World Peace Council (WPC) expresses its vehement condemnation of the
yesterday’s invasion of Israel into the Gaza strip in Palestine. The Israeli cruelty has no
end. After the week long bombardment of innocent children, women and civilian
population, the heavy armed war machinery of Israel is escalating further its aggression
with a ground invasion. The hundreds of dead Palestinians, the thousands of injured by
Israeli bombs are crimes against humanity and have to be put to court as such.
The Israeli regime would not be able to commit those brutal attacks without the full
support of the US administration (outgoing and incoming one). The position expressed
by the Czech EU- Presidency (about “defensive character of the invasion”) shows the
criminal complicity of the European Union, which is far away from being more human or
even less a counter pole of the USA.
The government of Israel is counting also on the internal differences and
contradictions amongst the Palestinians and the Arab world. This is the moment of
highest responsibility and unity against the troops of invasion and occupation. We call
upon all the peace loving forces in the region to unite against the imperialist plans in the
Middle East, against the “procurator” of Imperialism in the region, the reactionary and
inhuman Israeli regime.
We express our deep respect and solidarity to the forces struggling for peace
inside Israel and we salute their brave protests and demonstration in Tel Aviv and other
cities.
The World Peace Council is calling upon the Security Council of the UN and its
Human Rights Council in Geneva, to prove their minimum respect to the founding Charta
of the UNO and the Universal declaration of Human Rights, by condemning clearly the
Israeli aggression and imposing an end to the invasion and the occupation of the
Palestinian Territories, which is the first cause for all the suffering of the Palestinian
People since 60 years now.
In this moment the peoples of the world have to react with massive political
protests and actions against the injustice and genocide of the Palestinian people. The
WPC calls for increased solidarity and humanitarian aid of all means and will take
respective initiatives in the coming days.
