The World Peace Council condemns in the strongest way the new plans of
the government of Israel to invade the already destroyed Palestinian
Gaza strip in order to occupy Gaza City and proceed with its murderous
genocidal plans. While more than 60.000 Palestinians have died from the
Israeli occupation army the last 22 months, the Israeli regime and its
armed forces are assassinating daily dozens of helpless civilian
Palestinians even when they seek the limited humanitarian aid entering
the Gaza strip. The recent targeted bombing and killing of journalists
by the Israeli army shows the ugly face of the occupation regime.
Additional to the more than 15.000 children who have their lives,
thousands are facing life threatening starvation which is being used as
weapon of war. This crime against humanity seems to have no end, the
false and fake claim of the Israeli government that its actions are of
“self-defense” are cynical and baseless. At the same time the regime of
occupation is increasing and multiplying its military presence,
harassments and attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank while
discussions are taking place to repeat the “Gaza experience” also in the
West Bank.
This act of ongoing genocide, the brutality and inhuman attitude of the
Israeli government and army is being condemned massively by the peoples
of the world all this period. The solidarity with the Palestinian people
is increasing all over the globe.
The genocide has the full support of the USA and many EU governments
without the complicity of whom, these crimes would not have been
possible. We likewise denounce the imperialist crimes and ongoing threats
against the peoples of Lebanon and Syria.
The new plans of escalation of the aggression would accelerate the
Ethnic Cleansing of Israel against the Palestinian people who demand and
fight the right of Self-determination and for their own sovereign and
viable independent State.
The WPC reiterates its full-hearted solidarity to the just cause of the
Palestinian people, demanding the end of the genocidal massacres and
supports the establishment of the State of Palestine within the borders
of pre-4th June 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital. Now is the
right time to recognize Palestine as a full member State of the UN as
it was foreseen already in 1948.

End the genocide now! Freedom for Palestine! Down with the imperialist
plans in the Middle East!
