[fse-esf] Statement of the Greek delegation to Palestine

[Yannis Almpanis]

Statement of the members of the Greek solidarity delegation (19/7-25/7/06) 
in Palestine

We the members of the Greek solidarity delegation that we went over:

in both occupied Palestinian territories, where we -once again- met the 
unbearable living conditions of Palestinians, their humbling from the 
Israeli military forces, the wanton demolition of their houses and their 
belongings’ destruction, the open invasion of the Israeli military forces in 
their houses with the intention of killing or imprisoning them, the undoing 
of any remaining financial activity, the irrational embargo from the rest of 
the world

as well in Israel, where we met and discussed with representatives of groups 
opposed to war against Lebanon, to the occupation of Palestinian 
territories, to the continuing rise of the Wall and we participated in an 
anti-war march in Tel Aviv.

1. We strongly condemn all the crimes against Palestinian and Lebanese 
peoples that- unfortunately with the support or under the tolerance of the 
biggest part of the Israeli community, where Zionism finds its footholds- 
are accomplished by the murderer gang, which is called the Israeli 
government.

2. We accuse the warlike policy of both the US and the UK that quite openly 
support the Israeli brutality, both politically, with the blockade of the UN 
decisions, as well as with certain facts, as the supply of the Israeli army 
with weapons of the up-to-date technology. We also condemn the hypocritical 
policy of “equal distances” that all European governments, including the 
Greek, one are demonstrating.

3. We ask for the immediate cease-fire and the air strike stopping against 
Gaza Strip and the Lebanon and the immediate withdrawal of the Israeli army 
from the occupied Palestinian territories and from South Lebanon.

4.We express our solidarity to the suffering, and at the same time 
struggling and resisting to the Israeli conqueror and intruder, Palestinian 
and Lebanese people.

5. We ask from the world solidarity movement to take as much action as 
possible, in collaboration with the small but existing and worthy anti-war 
Israeli movement, to stop the bloodshed of the Palestinian and the Lebanese 
people -and in sequence the deaths and the militarization of the Israeli 
people- before the trigger-happy dementia of Tel Aviv and Washington hawks 
flash the spark of the war all over the Arab and Muslim world.

Athens, 26th of July 2006
