29 December 2008 /International Bureau / Statement No:40

Zionist Israel, gendarmerie of the US imperialism in the Middle East has started a new massacre on the Palestinian people. The Israeli Zionism has waged air attacks on Gaza and killed more than 300 Palestinians in two days.
The murderer Israeli forces levelled Gaza with ground through a genocide-like attack which reminds the massacres of Sabra and Shatila.
The massacre of the Zionist Israel has been the last link of the chain of imperialist "solution" that culminated in the division of Palestine into two parts.
This attack has not remained and will not remain without a response. The peoples of the Middle East at first, and workers, labourers, youth and women in many parts of the world from Europe and Asia to North and South America take to the streets to show solidarity with the Palestinian people. The Palestinian freedom forces who have been responding the massacre with rocket attacks beginning from the first day call for a 3rd Intifada.
The Palestinian people do not suffer such an attack for the first time. Despite all massacres, tortures, imprisonments, dirty, bloody occupation war that have been lasting for tens of years, the Palestinian people have managed not to yield and to raise the resistance by defending their dignity and freedom even more strongly, and by this, they showed the way to all peoples of the world. They have been the source of inspiration and the symbol of resistance for the peoples resisting imperialism and for the workers and labourers fighting for labour and freedom. With their unyielding resistance and with the power of the solidarity among the peoples, the Palestinian people will fight back this recent attack, too.
In the Middle East, with the Palestinian, Iraqi and Kurdish resistances in its core, the destiny and the struggle of our Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic and Persian peoples become more and more the same and the efforts of the progressive, revolutionary and communist forces of the region for uniting the struggle becomes more and more important and urgent.
As the MLCP, we feel the pain of the people of Gaza in our heart and we express our warmest solidarity feelings. Our party MLCP believes that it is a necessity and an indispensable task of the proletarian internationalism to struggle for uniting the fight against imperialism and Zionism in the Middle East where the MLCP is also struggling, and to raise the international solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people.
As the MLCP, we call upon all the progressive, revolutionary and communist forces, the working class and the labourers to increase the solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Down with Zionism! Down with imperialism!
Long live the unyielding resistance of the Palestinian people!
Intifada in Palestine, resistance in Iraq and serhildan in Kurdistan will win!
