It is urgent to put an end to the murderous madness of the State of Israel

Solidarity with the Palestinian and Lebanese people

In continuation of its genocidal war in Gaza, the State of Israel has granted itself the right to eliminate all those it considers to be allies of the Palestinian people in general and of Hamas in particular. Prime Minister Netanyahu claimed this as evidence before the United Nations General Assembly by directly threatening Lebanese Hezbollah, the Houthis of Yemen or the pro-Iranian Shiite militias of Syria or Iraq. Common point of all these targets for Israel: Iran accused of wanting its destruction.

The same day, Netanyahu ordered his army to carry out a devastating intervention in Lebanon. After the sabotage of Hezbollah’s means of communications, which constitutes an additional war crime, followed the intensive bombings on the population of Beirut and southern Lebanon. Already more than 900 dead (including many children and the majority of civilians), thousands injured and a million displaced. The elimination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and party officials is part of this criminal headlong rush by Netanyahu and his government. Just like the Israeli invasion of Lebanese territory or the bombings “ targeted » in Yemen, Iraq and Syria.

This aggression against Lebanon is all the more worrying because it can only be the prelude to another on Iran. Such a war would then plunge the Middle East into chaos. And meanwhile, the massacres committed by Israel in Gaza continue daily, although hidden in the media.

In its murderous madness, the apartheid regime threatens destruction of the Palestinian people and threatens to drag all the peoples of the region into a terrible regional war, and it does so with the explicit financial, political and military support of the United States and of France.

Israel just received $8.7 billion in aid from the United States to support its military efforts. The agreement, concluded in Washington, came in the midst of an escalation with Hezbollah and the war in Gaza. While the international community unsuccessfully called for a ceasefire, Joe Biden greeted as “ an act of justice » the assassination of the leader of Lebanese Hezbollah. Netanyahu received authorization from Western powers to set the region ablaze in the name of Israel’s supposed right. to defend oneself “.

Once again, the Palestinian people are also victims of the active complicity of Western countries with a rogue state guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity whose function remains the defense of their economic and geostrategic interests in the region.

It is urgent to put an end to Israel’s murderous spiral and the complicit declarations of Western chancelleries. The movement of solidarity with the Palestinian people demands that the French government and the European Union immediately suspend all military, economic and commercial cooperation with Israel in order to obtain an end to the genocidal war in Gaza and an end to aggression against Lebanon
