Stop the Massacre in Lebanon and Palestine

international | anti-war / imperialism | press release Saturday July 22, 2006 17:45 by Colm Breathnach - Irish Socialist Network irishsocialistnetwork at dublin dot ie

The Irish Socialist Network condemns the Israeli assault on Lebanon/Palestine and calls for public support for the protests being organised by the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign and others.

With the encouragement of its backers in Washington and London, the Israeli state continues its murderous campaign of bombings and assassinations in Lebanon and Palestine. This campaign is designed to destroy those who oppose total American/Israeli hegemony in the region. The Irish Socialist Network supports the call for an immediate end to the Israeli bombardment of Lebanon and Gaza and the release by all sides of prisoners, including the thousands of Palestinian and Lebanese held illegally in Israeli prison camps. The ISN supports the right of the Palestinian and Lebanese people to resist occupation and invasion. We condemn all attacks on civilians, regardless of whether they are Lebanese, Palestinian or Israeli.

In the long run this action by the Israeli state will only strengthen the resolve of the Lebanese and Palestinian people to resist. There can be only one solution that brings peace and equality to the Middle East: the total withdrawal of Israeli forces from the all of the Occupied Territories and the establishment of a fully independent Palestinian state.

Please show your solidarity with the Palestinian and Lebanese people by participating in the various events being organised by the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign and others.
