We, the communist and workers’ parties which sign this Joint Statement condemn the barbaric and criminal assault of the state of Israel against the Palestinian people.

We express our full solidarity with the people of Palestine and we call on the workers all over the world to mobilize in order to strengthen the wave of condemnation against Israel, in order for solidarity with the Palestinian people to be expressed in a practical way.

The USA also bears an enormous responsibility for these bloody developments, which is supporting Israel in every way in the continuation of the oppression and massacre of the Palestinian people.

The EU also bears responsibility, as it follows the line of keeping an “equal distance” between the victim and the persecutor and is simultaneously developing cooperation with Israel at a military and economic-political level.

The communist and workers’ parties that sign this statement demand:

That the crime against the Palestinian people be condemned.

The continuing air raids against the Palestinian people must cease immediately and a ground offensive must be prevented.

The Israeli occupation armies must withdraw.

The immediate liberation of all political prisoners from the Israeli prisons.

The tearing down of the unacceptable wall of division and the lifting of every form of blockade against the Palestinians in Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

The immediate end to the settlements and the withdrawal of all the settlers that have settled beyond the 1967 borders.

The right of return of all the Palestinian refugees to their homes, on the basis of the relevant UN decisions.

All joint military exercises and all the agreements of military cooperation with Israel must be cancelled.

A Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
