The protest was adopted by the party's National Committee at its meeting on the Nov. 25th in Copenhagen. Comradely yours KPiD Betty Communist Party in Denmark Copenhagen, Nov. 25th 2000. Press Release Prime Minister Ehud Barak The Knesset The Israeli People STOP THE KILLING! The Communist Party in Denmark agrees with Amnesty International, the Human Rights Watch and other observers declaring, * That Israel has returned the stone throwing of Palestinian demonstraters with excessive and disproportionate force, causing innocent civilian victims of the violence. * That the Israeli rubber coated bullets should not be approved as a weapon just for controlling unrest, because - fired at close range - they are lethal weapons. * That Israeli forces have fired at ambulance staff and journalists. * That Israel has shown disrespect for Muslim shrines and sacred sites. * That Israel - by hitting a large number of children - has not made a distinction between children and adults, and thereby violated the UN Convention on Children's Rights. And * That Israel - by closing the borders of the Palestinian territories of self-determination - is inflicting a collective punishment on all of the Palestinian people, thereby violating their basic rights to freedom of movement. We support the UN Resolution that condemns the excessive force used by the Israeli occupational forces against civilian Palestinians. A revival of the peace negotiations must take its start from the fact that the UN Resolution 181 from 1947 concerning the formation of the State of Israel, giving 56% of the Palestinian land to the Israeli and 42% to the Palestinians, never was brought into reality. On the contrary, today it is a fact that the Palestinian territories of self-determination can be compared to the Bantustans of former South Africa. Forming a fragmented, scattered land, with Israel in control of the roads, the supply of water, energy etc., and where the illegal, Israeli settlements are military bases for the Israeli army, it does not present a realistic starting point for negotiations. These must be grounded on * The withdrawal of Israeli forces from the occupied territories * The active part-taking of the UN in the negotiations between the two parties, and possibly the take-over of UN forces to secure the Palestinian territories. The one-sided support on behalf of the USA has brought forward one demonstration of power after the other, and it has dismantled the imperialistic policy of Zionist Israel. We support the legitimate Palestinian demand on a sovereign state, on the right of the Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland, and on East-Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine. Further, the re-possession of the illegal, Israeli settlements could form a compensation for all of the Palestinian property that has been bombed or otherwise destroyed. This must be the goal, more than 50 years after the UN Resolution 181. Betty Frydensbjerg Carlsson Chairman *End*
