Declaration by four revolutionary organisations in the Middle East
Once again the Zionist regime has launched a criminal war against the Arab world. Its objective is to reaffirm its hegemony over the Arab East by the destruction of the Palestine national movement and speed up the involvement of the Syrian regime in a negotiated solution with imperialism.
This aggression flows from the expansionist nature of the Zionist state which, from 1948 until today, through the wars of aggression of 1956, 1967, 1973, and 1978, has continually extended its frontiers and its field of action. This aggression is also the direct extension of its policy of annexation, colonisation, and. mass terrorism against the Palestine population in the territories occupied since 1967.
This new war confirms the real nature of the Camp David agreement, which far from aiming to establish some kind of peace in the Middle East, aims to break up the Arab nationalist movement, to widen the domination of US imperialism in the region, reinforce the role of the Zionist regime as policeman and leave them a free hand to savagely attack any force which dares to oppose imperialist domination, in the first place the Palestine national movement.
In this American plan for domination of the region Israel knows that it can count on the passivity or the complicity of most of the Arab regimes, which are either already part of the imperialist alliances, or are looking for a better price for their integration. The social instability which characterises all of them can occasionally oblige them to give partial support to the Palestinian resistance, but straightaway, because of their social nature, which only aims to defend their own interests, they concentrate their forces on defending their own regimes. And thus they leave the field open to Israel to carry out its policy of genocide against the Palestinian people and their organisation.
which aims to liquidate the Palestinian resistance and achieve an imperialist solution.
We salute the heroic and determined resistance of the Lebanese and Palestinian militants.
We call on all international forces to mobilise actively alongside the Palestinian resistance and the Lebanese resistance, to form a united front of support for total freedom of military and political action for the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance.
We demand: Support to the PLO, representative of the Palestinian people in their fight against Zionist aggression.
-The immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the Israeli army from Lebanon and the occupied territories.
-Support for the rights of the Palestinian people and the sovereignty of Lebanon and for the right of self-determination of the Lebanese people.
-Refusal of any imperialist-Zionist plan. -The institution of a united, free, democratic, and socialist Palestine on the destruction of the state of Israel.
