Statement of the Workers' Communist Party of Denmark (APK), September 22, 2002
For how long more shall Israel be allowed to torture and humiliate the Palestinian people? Under the pretext of defending the security of Israel, Palestine has been bombed to pieces.
The complete destruction of Arafat's head quarters constitutes the attempt of the US and Sharon to crush the national rights and hopes of the Palestinian population. At the same time, Israel is continuing the construction of illegitimate settlements in the occupied territories.
Two years of Intifada have shown Israel and the US that the struggling Palestinian people will never accept to live as subjects in their own country. Two years of massive criminal state terror and occupation of the Palestinians have shown that Sharon will never accept the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to a free and independent Palestine. Two years of one-sided US support for the executioner and criticism of the victim have shown that the US is neither a factor for peace nor a guarantor of the right of the Palestinians to an independent state.
It is becoming still clearer to many people that the US preparations for war and occupation of the Iraqi people, as well as the Israeli occupation of Palestine, are serving the objective of the US and other Great Powers of controlling the oil-rich Middle East.
For more than 30 years, the Israeli occupying power, the US and other Great Powers have been ignoring the UN-sanctioned rights of the Palestinians.
To the world's peace-loving peoples, the cup is full. We must demand that our government and national parliament break off relations with the Israeli terror state as long as it maintains the occupation and ignores the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
Israel must be isolated in all fields - like South Africa at the time of
apartheid!
Solidarity with the terrorized, imprisoned and struggling Palestinian people!
