[fse-esf] PROPOSAL: pan-European demonstration against the EU starvation

[CAMPAIGN GENOA 2001 GREECE]

Dear friends, the Cairo Conference proposed a day of action on the anniversary of 12 July, the attack of Israel aginst Lebanon and the victory of resistance.
Stop the War Greece with Pakistani Community of Greece and Muslim Association called a demo for 12th of July. Today there was a call for coordination with all antiwar, left and anticapitalis organizations. Trade unions were present in the coordination meeting. Next days we expect that a large spectrum of forces will be part of the organizing comittee for a joined demo.
The recent escalation of attacks against the elected government of Hamas and the threats of a new invasion by Israel in Gaza is a crucial step for imperialists to recover from the defeat of last year.
On the same time palestinians in refugee camps in Lebanon by the same army that opened the borders for israels to invade Lebanon last year. All this massacre goes with the support of frigades and warships of the international force that supports Sinioras proimperialist government.
These are the real terrorists and we must stand firmly against them for Liberation of Palestine against imperialist intervention in M.East from Lebanon to Iraq, against the blockade of EU against Hamas government of Palestine.
We demand troops out now from Iraq and Afghanistan, end of support by european governments to Israel.
The antiwar movement made great demos in Italy, in Britain and other countries.
Let's coorinate for the 12th!
