Despite the fact that the youngster was already arrested, this illegal and unfair act was deeply politically motivated, as it prevented this Palestinian youngster to travel abroad to spread the message of solidarity and to let hundreds of young people know how the Israeli authorities make the life of the Palestinian youth and people a permanent massacre and torture. 

Once again, WFDY vehemently condemns the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, as well as all measures taken by the Israeli army and authorities that do not allow the Palestinian people to live independently in a sovereign and free Palestinian state. 

WFDY calls upon all its member and friend organizations to spread the news about this new episode, in order to reinforce the solidarity towards the struggle of the Palestinian youth and people.

      Last week NATO has announced the intention to develop “training exercises” in the area of Caucasus, more specifically in Georgia, with its full support, simulating an operation of the United Nations led by NATO, to take place in the coming months.

Such fact has, in several perspectives, important elements which WFDY denounces:

a) The development of such “simulation” will only bring even more tension to the area, as it is the frame of the seize and provocation to Russia, Iran and China, that not even one year ago led to military confrontation between Georgia (as a tool of NATO) and Russia, raising the inter-imperialist rivalries that separate USA/European Union/NATO on one side, and Russia on the other.

b) The whole theoretical scenery for this operation, despite the argument that it is only a simulation, is a demonstration of the anti-democratic and dangerous manipulation of the United Nations by imperialism, which wants the structure of UN side by side with its killing machine: NATO.

c) The contradiction between the deeply promoted speeches of a “worldwide disarmament” done by the President of USA, Barack Obama, and the reality of the USA/NATO action is alarming and deserves the attention of everyone.

Facing this, WFDY firmly believes that these steps are not innocent, but indeed the continuation of a path of escalation of the militarization and tension all over the world, but particularly in the borders of Russia, in the frame of the imperialist strategy to take over the control of the resources and markets of Russia, Iran and China.

WFDY vehemently condemns these moves and the hypocrisy of those who spend hours speaking about peace to afterwards promote more military activity. We believe that those who really want peace do not promote the conditions for war!

WFDY calls upon all its member and friend organizations to denounce and, together with the young people of their countries, struggle against the militarization of the world and against all the imperialist instruments, such as NATO, AFRICOM, the 4^th Fleet or any others!

In the last months the attack against the democratic rights and freedoms of the peoples and youth of the world has been deepened by the imperialist Governments and its international, regional and national structures. 

The criminalization of those who struggle against the imperialist world order and to overthrow imperialism itself is a common line of action, which is focusing particularly the communist forces. Nevertheless, WFDY believes that the attack to the communist forces has a much deeper meaning than only these forces (which would be unacceptable anyway), but it aims to destroy all resistance against imperialism. 

The presidency of the European Union (now run by the Czech Government), and its political line of supporting the so called “researches against the dictatorships in Europe” is a clear attempt to rewrite History, comparing the hideous crimes of Nazism with the so called “Stalinism”, a period that the imperialist writers of history want to criminalize to confuse the people. In this same frame, the holding of a conference about “the resistance against communism in Czechoslovakia” is a new opportunity to try to, once again, rewrite History.

However, this is not a question of the past and only that. In fact, it is very much connected to the daily situation of the world today and for its future. In a moment when the capitalist crisis is clearly showing the dead ends and the self-destructive character of the capitalist system and the impossibility for a future of peace, sovereignty and with social and political rights for all mankind, it is necessary for imperialism to survive to chase those who can bury it! That is why now imperialism is developing a new “witch hunt”, trying that the people and youth of the world do not believe that it is possible to struggle and win, that it is possible to defeat imperialism. 

WFDY denounces that all these worries with “democracy” coming from the European Union is nothing but a way to impose the imperialism world order. Let us remind that: it is the very same Czech Government that now is the presidency of EU that criminalized and banned KSM (the Czech Communist Youth Union) for its political program, as well as it happens in several other former socialist countries (as Hungary, or in the Baltic area), where communists, their organizations and political elements are forbidden and chased, this very same European Union is deepening bounds with the state of Israel, supporting (directly and indirectly) the daily massacre and humiliation of the Palestinian people, the same EU that keeps cooperating everyday more and more with NATO, a war instrument that has brought death to thousands of peoples over the last years, the same EU that cooperates with USA in its strategy to promote interferences inside the Cuban policies, creating NGO’s openly for that purpose, and the same EU that cooperates with the dictatorial regimes of Colombia and Egypt, where everyday people are killed, chased or wounded by their political options only 

Furthermore WFDY denounces the situation of the countries inside EU itself has a clear demonstration on how dishonest this worry about the democracy is. The still to explain death of a person in a demonstration (London, UK), the prohibition for communists to be teachers (Germany), the arresting and interferences inside the students unions conducted by the police (Portugal), the prohibition of a cultural festival because of one of the bands invited having lyrics about the resistance (Spain) the inhuman expelling of the immigrants and way they are exploited and chased (Italy), among many other measures, explain by themselves how empty the word “democracy” is for imperialism. 

To all this only one answer can be given by the youth and the people of the world: the struggle! WFDY calls upon all its member and friend organization to denounce as much as possible the ongoing attempt to criminalize the struggle we develop, particularly the communist organizations, during the days of the conference about Czechoslovakia (15 and 16 of April). 

Moreover, WFDY states that despite the rough times that come ahead of us this a sign that imperialism knows we can win, so let us reinforce our daily struggle in the schools, places of work and neighborhoods, never being afraid of what we are and we struggle for, as it is the only way for mankind to achieve the long waited lasting peace and social development that imperialism keeps trying to postpone.

We will defeat imperialism!
