New left current for communist liberation
The people of Palestine have every right to claim to live freely, free from occupation and apartheid in their land. To even turn their weapons against the occupiers and to raise their voices against all those who have been supporting them for decades, while in other cases sounding the alarm and making fiery speeches about the rights and self-determination of peoples.
The unprecedented operation by armed Palestinian fighters from the Gaza Strip in southern Israel is a response to the daily life of Palestinians who have been living for 70 years in refugee settlements. The people of Palestine live in a vast prison, experiencing daily humiliation at the hands of the occupying army and the right-wing settlers that the Israeli state has planted in every inch of Palestine’s historic land. The reversal of reality cannot conceal the cause of the Palestinian people’s completely justified despair and anger. Israel has bred internally a monster of militarism and fascism, in the arms of the great imperialist powers (Great Britain first, the US and the EU later) who do not hesitate to accept a colonial regime to control the Middle East.
The Israeli regime seeks to crush the Palestinian resistance, which has intensified in recent months, particularly in the occupied West Bank. It has responded with continuous raids on refugee camps, while armed groups of right-wing settlers have burned down entire Palestinian villages. The Netanyahu government had lost control the absolute control in the West Bank, as resistance has grown, developed and strengthened its ability to defend its people. Now the Netanyahu government is preparing for new massacres in Gaza, as it has done repeatedly with thousands dead.
The Greek state is complicit in Israeli crimes. All the governments of ND, PASOK, SYRIZA, with the support of the Greek far-right, which considers Israel as the model of the militaristic and racist society it desires, have cooperated closely with the Israeli state, its army and secret services. The Mitsotakis government is further expanding Greece’s economic and military strategic cooperation with Israel, supporting its criminal policy.
At this moment, we must not abandon the brave people of Palestine alone to face this military machine of colonialism and occupation. Just as the governments of Israel rely on their imperialist partners to continue to attack the Palestinian people, the resistance in Palestine also finds its support in forces fighting for social justice, for the liberation of peoples from all oppression: from the occupiers, from the domestic bourgeoisie, from those who pretend to be friends by simply promoting their own interests.The Palestinian struggle can only win if it becomes a matter for the Palestinian people themselves, without mediators. By claiming and winning the solidarity of others peoples of the region.
NAR and the Communist Liberation Youth declare their solidarity with the Palestinian people and their struggle for freedom. May our solidarity become the shield of the Palestinians to continue fighting for their freedom.
