Solidarity is the tenderness of the people!
Let’s support the struggle of the Saharawi people!
As announced before, between 18 and 22 of September, WFDY and the World Peace Council took forward a solidarity mission to express its support to the Palestinian people and youth in their struggle for freedom and independence. The dates of this important joint event that gathered 18 people from 14 different organizations of 3 continents were not chosen by hazard and aimed to coincide with the beginning of the discussions around the submission of the Palestinian request to be recognized as a member state of the United Nations.
During the days of the mission, WFDY and the WPC had the opportunity to meet with the Palestinian Peoples’ Party, the Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine, the Democratic Front for Liberation of Palestine and Fatah, as well as with their youth wings. Furthermore, the delegation had the opportunity to express its support to representatives of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the Palestinian Legislative Council and the Palestinian Authority.
Within the several days spent on the ground, the delegation also conducted interesting visits to important sights such as Jerusalem and relevant examples of the Israeli settlements and Wall that divide and occuppy the Palestinian territory.
From the contacts established both in meetings and in informal exchanges it was clear that only through the resistance it will be possible for the Palestinian people to bend its oppressor and only with more and better organized international solidarity it will be possible to finally overthrow this unjust, illegal and brutal occupation of Israel that shamefully the United States and many of the European Union insist in supporting.
Also as part of the visit, WFDY and the WPC delegations had opportunity to meet with the Communist Party of Israel and their elected members in the Parliement, as well as with the Young Communist League of Israel and other social movements, that very bravely fight inside the very hear of the war and killing machine against the Israeli occupation, for the rights and unity of Jews and Arabs and for their social rights - against the anti-popular policies of the Israeli government.
As main outcome of this visit, it is underlined the total support to the Palestinian peopla and youth right to have a state, free and indepedent, in full respect of the UN resolutions and the borders of 1967, together with the right for all Palestinian refuggees to return to their homeland and all the political prisoners detained in Israeli prisoners to be immediately released - such demands are nothing but a drop of justice to counter decades of imperialist and zionist oppression and occupation!
