Down with the US–backed Israeli aggression against the Palestinian and Lebanese people!

Statement of the Communist Ghadar Party of India, 26 July 2006

Israel, with total disregard for world public opinion or the norms of relations between states, has launched a savage invasion of Lebanon. It has deployed its army, air force and navy to destroy, blockade and conquer Lebanon. The Lebanese capital Beirut as well as numerous towns and villages have been bombed out. Hundreds of innocent people, including United Nations Peace Keepers have been killed in these attacks. Lakhs of people have been turned into refugees. This invasion of Lebanon follows close upon the heels of the barbaric assault on Gaza and the West Bank in the territory of the Palestinian National Authority,

The Communist Ghadar Party of India severely condemns the Israeli aggression against Lebanon and Palestine. The CGPI calls upon Indian communists and all progressive and peace-loving people of India to unitedly raise their voice of protest against the Israeli aggression and show to the whole world that the Indian people are on the side of the just struggle of the Palestinian and Lebanese people.

The Israeli Armed Forces chief has declared he will “turn the Lebanon clock back by twenty years”. Much of Lebanon’s infrastructure has been destroyed in the course of this war. While peoples and governments of the world have been demanding that the Israeli marauders be stopped, the US not only vetoed the resolution in the UN Security Council calling for a cease fire in Lebanon, it also hastened its dispatch of deadly weapons of mass destruction to the Israeli Zionists.

US President George Bush has publicly opposed an immediate cease-fire. He has sent his foreign minister Condoleeza Rice to Lebanon to ensure that the strategic aims of US imperialism served by the Israeli invasion are successfully fulfilled. The US has made no bones about revealing that it fully backs the genocidal war. Meanwhile, the Security Council of the United Nations has once again failed to act to stop an unjust war of aggression.

There is a real danger of the conflict widening and engulfing more areas The US imperialists and the Israeli Zionists seek to blame resistance fighters of Palestine and Lebanon for the conflict, terming them as terrorists. However, the whole world can see that it is the US imperialists and the Israeli Zionists they back who are the vilest terrorists of the time. Just like the Nazis, these states are using terror, unjust aggression and genocide to wipe out entire peoples and provinces in the lands they occupied. Their message to the Palestinian, Lebanese and other peoples of the region is to give up their resistance against the unjust occupation of Palestine, and submit meekly to the US – Israeli designs. They are putting pressure on Syria and Iran, and creating the conditions for “regime change” in these countries.

However, the hopes of US imperialism and Israel as well as its other backers are being dashed to the ground by the people's resistance. The people of the region and the entire world have rallied together against the US backed Israeli aggression. They are demanding that the marauders pay for the unspeakable crimes they are committing today. The Communist Ghadar Party of India stands firmly with the anti-imperialist forces of Lebanon, Palestine and the whole world, in this courageous struggle.

An immediate end to the violation of sovereignty and slaughter of people!
