We of the Democratic Socialist Movement (DSM) condemn in strongest terms the unwarranted killing of innocent civilians in Gaza, Palestine, by the Government of the state of Israel, which is being conducted in the name of “Operation Protective Edge”.
We are deeply appalled by the tragic results of this military offensive, which has left thousands of Palestinian seriously wounded and led to the death of hundreds including scores of children that have been killed by the government of your home country. We reject the demolition of homes of ordinary Palestinians and call for an end to it.
We are opposed to the military offensive, which is being planned by your government on Gaza. We also call for an end to the repression of the joint demonstrations of Arabs and Jews, which have broken out in response to the killings in Gaza.
We call for the right of the Palestinians to self-determination with the democratic control of the enormous natural, territorial and human resources in the hands of the mass of workers and youth in Palestine.We call for a united struggle of workers and youth across Palestine and Israel for a democratic socialist Palestine alongside a democratic socialist Israel as part of a Socialist world.
We believe that only through this means can the entire crisis be resolved. We reiterate our commitment to join forces with other pro-working people across the world to resist this brutal massacre being undertaken by the government of your home country.
