Press Release over acts of bombing in the US
The Palestinian
People’s Party warns of the scheme of Sharon’s government which is trying
to exploit the bombing operations with planes that targeted the World
Trade Center in New York and the US Defense Department in order to settle
accounts with the Palestinian leadership and people through forming
the so-called "international front to fight terrorism" that
offers a cover up for more acts of aggression against the Palestinian
people and against the other peoples of the world who are struggling
to reinforce their independence and right in self determination. We
join our voice to the voices of all Palestinian, Arab, and international
forces in condemning the suicide operations in the US.And we affirm
that the attempt to picture the Palestinian people as supporters of
such acts is nothing but an Israeli attempt to justify the policy of
tightening the aggression and siege. We understand the call to form
the so-called "international front against terrorism" which
was advocated first by Israel as an attempt aiming to exploit the aftermath
and international reactions resulting from the bombing operations that
condemn the killing of innocent civilians. This Israeli call aims to
break the international isolation resulting from the policy of colonialism
and racial discrimination and the establishment of a new alliance that
can save it from its isolation and can allow it to resume its aggressions
against the Palestinian people. We stress that the current phase requires
urgent efforts to form "an international front against colonialism
and racial discrimination" and work on implementing the decisions
of Durban Conference, mainly the formation of an international movement
against Israeli racial discrimination against the Palestinian people.
