>X-Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Unverified) >From: Communist Party of Canada <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >For Immediate Release > >October 4, 2000 > >Stop the Campaign of Terror Against the Palestinian People > >The Communist Party of Canada denounces the latest aggression by Israel >which has caused over 65 deaths and thousands of wounded among Palestinian >women, men and children. These continued attacks have only proven that the >Zionist regime in Israel is far from genuinely committed to the pursuit of >a just peace in the region. > >The clearly provocative visit of the leader of the right-wing Likud Party, >Ariel Sharon, to the Dome of the Rock/Temple Mount, was the spark that lit >the flame of occupied Palestinians increasingly frustrated with the lack of >progress towards a just peace. > >The calculated and cynical use of deadly force by the Israeli military, >with the tacit support of US imperialism, to terrorize the Palestinian >population in the occupied territories is a monstrous crime, and cannot be >tolerated by the international community. The CPC deplores the actions and >atrocities being committed by the Israeli army, most notably, the >cold-blooded execution of children like Muhammad Al-Duraa and the others >whose faces were not caught on tape. > >Military might cannot be an acceptable replacement for negotiation to >resolve this long-festering conflict and build a lasting peace. > >The Communist Party of Canada reaffirms its solidarity with the Palestinian >people in their struggle for self-determination and independence. > >The Communist Party of Canada supports a just solution to the Arab-Israeli >conflict, which must culminate in the creation of an independent >Palestinian state. This can only happen when Israeli occupying forces >withdraw from all occupied territories, including occupied East Jerusalem, >as directed by UN Resolution 242. This must also include the release of all >political prisoners and the implementation of the "Right of Return" of the >Palestinian people who were dispossessed and forced from their land and >homes since 1948. > >We call on all progressive forces in Canada to condemn the atrocities >committed by Israeli occupation forces, and to call for a just and peaceful >solution now. _______________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
