No to Lebanon War III (+ Syria War) The Israeli Communist Forum strongly condemns the recent acts of aggression committed by the Israeli Army within Syrian territory. The purpose of these acts is to cause a new war in our region, with the aim of "repairing" the enormous damage caused by the Second Lebanon War. Further, such a war would be initiated with the aim of improving the position of the United States and its allies in our region, a position also damaged by the war in Lebanon and even more by their ever-deepening fiasco in Iraq, with no end in sight.
We must sound the warning against new warlike adventures aimed at Iran as well as at Syria and the resistance forces in Lebanon. Syria has again and again extended its hand in peace, only to be rebuffed. Instead of irresponsible attempts at military adventure, negotiations should be opened with Syria on the basis of withdrawal from all Syrian territories occupied since June 1967. We also call for negotiations with the leadership of the Palestinian People, aimed at achieving a just peace, in which Hamas should take part. We regard the summit conference presently planned by the US and Israel as a media gimmick which would not promote the peace process in the region and which is aimed as a cover for the new plans of aggression.
Simultaneously with the aggravation of the situation on the Syrian border, the Government of Israel further aggravates and exacerbates the siege and strangulation of the Palestinian people, especially in the area of the Gaza Strip . The "targeted killings" continue, in whose course a large number of civilians were recently killed-including children. The creation of settlements and the so-called "outposts" goes on - some of them "legal" and others "illegal" - while the existing settlements are ceaselessly extended. Despite countless promises, there is no easing whatsoever of the checkpoints and roadblocks, which cause untold suffering to the inhabitants of the Occupied Territories. The economic blockade of the Gaza strip, including limitations on the supply of electricity and water, intensifies an already severe hardship, to the very edge of a humanitarian crisis.
90th Anniversary of the October Revolution November 7 this year marks the 90th anniversary of the October Revolution, which marked a new historical stage in annals of humankind. For the first time in history the workers and peasants got the chance to control their country for an extensive historical period. The means of production, natural resources and land, much of which had belonged to landowners or to local and international capitalists, were all placed at the disposal of all citizens, to be used for their welfare.
