Condemn the attack of the Israel state against peace activists

ATIK | 01 – 06 – 2010 | As the conflicts in the Middle East and the aggression policies of imperialism is advancing the latest attack of the Israel state against the ‘aid fleet’ in where more than 19 people were killed and others were injured ,shows that the policies of the Israel state are backed by imperialism especially US imperialism.

On the aid fleet were doctors and peace activists. Also representatives of left parties like die Linke from Germany, Holocaust victim Epstein and other peace award novelist‘s were present too.   Purpose and aim of the ‘aid fleet’ was to bring aids like food and medicine to Palestine mainly Gaza.

Israel’s main speaker Dov Weinglass openly stated that “….the Palestinians need a diet, our intention is not to let them starve”.

Until this hour there is no concrete number of death and injured persons. It is said that the aid fleet had already hoisted a white peace flag even before the raid but still Israel troops raid the fleet and brutally killed and beat on people. The aid convoy included 6 ships.

There is nothing that can justify the massacre against these aid workers by the Israel state troops. This once more shows the brutality of the US backed Israel policies which has a long history.

All over the world protest waves show the anger of many people and countries. Also in the course of this attack reactionary governments like Iran and Turkey use this attack by Israel in order to put forward their own policies. It should not be forgotten that the Turkish state even though he condemns the recent attack is not a friend of the Palestinian people. It has common agreements and military mutual pacts with Israel and inside the country has arrested and tortured progressive and revolutionary demonstrators that were speaking out against the Israeli aggression.

Turkey has stated that for now it is withdrawing from the mutual military pact of training Israeli soldiers it has already done so in October 2009 but restarted in March 2010 further it stated that it will expel the Israel ambassador if necessary. Since the morning hours thousands of people are on the streets protesting and are in front of the Israel embassy.

This attack which resulted in 19 persons dead and many people injured is an illegitimate, unjust action and is dissident to international humanitarian law.

 We as ATIK International Relation Committee call upon the international democratic public to unite against this attack by the Israel state. At the same time we demand an end to the occupation in Palestine and a end to the economic blockade especially in Gaza.

Long Live International Solidarity!

The Palestinian People Are Not Alone!

We Condemn the Murderer Against the Peace Activists!
