01 June 2010 /International Bureau / Statement No: 52

The Israeli Zionism brutally attacked the aid ships that departed from different countries with 700 people aboard with the aim of solidarity with the Palestinian people and of breaking the blockade that has condemned the Palestinian people to lack of food and medicine. The Israeli air forces committed a massacre in the international seas.
This massacre attack that was carried out in the international seas revealed the unlimited aggression of Zionism to the entire world. The Zionist Israel showed once more the deadlock of the Zionist occupation with its unlimited intolerance towards any little attempt of breaking the blockade which is one of the basic elements of its policy of occupation and annihilation in Palestine. At the same time, it has been seen once more how flagrantly Israel has been acting due to the unlimited support of the imperialist forces.
Zionist minister Ayalon has claimed that the assault had developed as a "defence against the lynching attempt". He has repeated their hard-nosed attitude towards the massacres against Palestinian children, the attitude that shows rabidness against the right to resistance of the oppressed and he claimed that the breaking of the blockade would result in opening the way for gun-smuggling and that would cause hundreds of "civilian" deaths. Let away the other things, even with only their nuclear weapons that they never opened to control, the Zionist Israeli state is one of the biggest gun-smugglers of the world, who now tries to make the resistance that the Israeli soldiers faced in the ship the pretext of the massacre, as if it were legitimate to board soldiers to a ship by helicopters. The Zionist Israel does not mention what its soldiers had to do in the ship, why they faced resistance and why they boarded the ship before having faced resistance. Naturally, the Prime Minister of the Zionists speaks of the "right to self-defence" of Israel and defends the assault just like in all previous massacres.
The US imperialism that has supported Israel as its outpost in the region in all aspects militarily, politically, economically and diplomatically conveys its sorrow. The EU states that never attempted to break the blockade until today condemns the Israeli attack on aid ships. However, every single bourgeois state that has been a part of the Zionist blockade is the accomplice of the assault against the ships that sailed against the blockade. Furthermore, their "anti-terror" and "preventive war" concepts are no different from the shameless massacre attacks of Zionism.
The Turkish bourgeois state that damns the Israeli assault cannot hide its own offences that it committed as the principal "strategic" partner of Israel in the region. Even the measures taken by the Turkish bourgeois state in face of the Israeli attack reveal its complicity. The Turkish bourgeois state's calling back its ambassador in Israel is a confession of the fact that it has never recognised for Palestine the diplomatic rights that it gave to Zionism. As if this were the first massacre of Israel, the Turkish state has cancelled the planned 3 common military exercises with Israel, but it does not give account for why it carries out common military exercises with the Israeli army that has already shed so much blood of the Palestinian people. The bullets shot against the solidarity team by the Israeli soldiers are the products of the same Israeli military fabrics that produce the bullets shot against the Kurdish people by the colonialist Turkish state. Numerous pilots of the Israeli air forces that attacked on the ships have been trained in Turkey. The dirty war of the Turkish bourgeois state in Kurdistan was carried out in close military and intelligence collaboration with Israel. However, the Turkish bourgeois state neither speaks about its own massacres supported by Israel nor about its own accomplice in the Israeli massacres.
Today the role assumed by the AKP government represents the efforts of the USA to normalise its relations with the Muslim peoples of the Middle East within the context of the Obama policies; this role is related to the efforts of achieving the stability of the imperials occupation in the Middle East.
The Israeli Zionism, whose attack on the aid hips was responded with massive protests all over the world, has real reasons to qualify all the peoples of the world, at first place the peoples of the Middle East, as its enemies and to fear them, because all the peoples of the world bear a deep hatred against the US-supported-massacres of the Israeli Zionism and a great confidence and sympathy in the struggle of the Palestinian people for freedom.
Our party calls upon all progressive, revolutionary and communist forces to condemn the massacre against aid ships through different actions, to defend the struggle of the Palestinian people for freedom, to increase the international actions of breaking the blockade, to stand against their own countries' governments that are accomplices of the occupation and the blockade and to increase the struggle against Zionist occupation, massacres and blockade, against fascist colonialism and against imperialist aggression in the Middle East.
Zionism will be defeated, the Palestinian resistance will win!
Long live the brotherhood of the peoples!
Long live international solidarity!
