Peace and Freedom to the People of Palestine!

Statement of the Hungarian Communist Workers' Party

Down with the aggressors! Down with the killers!
Peace and freedom to the people of Palestine!

Gyula Thürmer, President of the Hungarian Communist Workers’ Party made the following statement 8 January 2009 on the meeting of the HCWP at the Embassy of Palestine in Budapest:

“Israel is continuing, for the 14th day in a row, its criminal aggression on the Gaza Strip. Israel is bombing schools and nurseries. Israel is destroying civil houses and public buildings. More than 600 Palestinians, adults and children became victims of the Israeli devastation. The Israeli aggression threatens with a humanitarian catastrophe in the region. Israel has persisted in violating the most basic humanitarian values, norms and principles of the international law. Israel does not allow even the international humanitarian organisations to enter the Gaza Strip, causing sufferings and death for thousand and thousands people. Israel turns the Gaza Strip for 1, 5 million people into an enormous concentration camp. Before the eyes of the world the torture and killing of people is going on.

The aim of Israel is clear. The Israeli politicians want to build it victory on elections in Israel over the dead bodies of Palestinian children. This is the policy of war criminals, the policy of killers.

By these brutal attacks Israel tries to achieve what was impossible by imposing the wall, the siege and blockade: to break the resistance of the Palestinian people.

We condemn the policy of genocide and state terrorism which is now the official policy of the Israeli government.

Israel is unfortunately not alone. It is supported by the USA. The United States which like to play the role of the defender of human rights, know assist in killing Arab people. Israel receives every year more than 3 billion dollars of US military aid. This money goes for killing Arab people, children and women.

Israel is endorsed by the cynic policy of the European Union, which puts on the same level the killers and his victims. This policy practically supports the aggressors.

Because of the dishonest policy of the US and the EU the UN Security Council failed for the second time in reaching a resolution that would force Israel to accept an immediate ceasefire.

On behalf of the Hungarian Communist Workers’ Party we express firm solidarity with the people of Palestine, the Palestinian National Authority and with all other forces fighting against the aggression.

We support the efforts of the Palestinian people to establish the independent State of Palestine, within the borders of 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital.

We demand Israel to stop the aggression immediately and to allow the humanitarian organisations to enter the Gaza Strip.

We demand Israel to begin immediate talks with representatives of the Palestinian people elected in 2006 on democratic elections.

We demand the Hungarian government to declare the Israeli ambassador in Budapest persona non grata, and to recall the Hungarian ambassador from Israel. We call the Hungarian government and other political forces to suspend all high-level contacts with Israel, and to boycott all Israeli events until the aggression finishes.

We declare for everybody: the killing of millions of Jews in the concentration camps during the Second World War was a crime, a crime against the Jews, against mankind. Those who close thousands of Arab people into concentration camps and kill them, commit the same crime. The historical past does not justify the actual extremist politicians of Israel. The historical past does not give us the right to be silent. We should do at least something against those who threaten the world with wars, killing and fascism of new type.

Down with the aggressors! Down with the killers!

Peace and freedom to the people of Palestine!”
