We say no to Zionism and to an exclusive Jewish colonial state, which reacts to the legitimate struggle of the indigenous Palestinian people for self-determination with the expansion of its Apartheid rule. To support this struggle is a special duty for the European opposition forces because Zionism is not only a product of European colonialism and racism; it still enjoys the support of our ruling elite.

Apart from the fact that Zionism will never accept a viable Palestinian state alongside Israel, even in such an imagined case Israel would remain an Apartheid state. Maintaining its Jewish character necessarily means to either oppress or once again expel the native Arabs (the completion of the “ethnic cleansing” that had started with the Nakba in 1948). A Palestinians state, even a Bantustan-type one, would facilitate the justification of the completion of colonisation.

Neo-liberal globalisation of the last decades rendered the situation of the indigenous people untenable. The government sells out their habitat to large co-operation who are keen to exploit the mineral riches. Dam projects, savage plunder and destruction of nature, special economic zones (SEZ) – the Adivasis are being driven from their land and livelihood by millions and forced into starvation.
But resistance is rising mainly led by Maoists (in India called Naxals). The rebellion of...
Sumud proposes no model from the towering heights of a superior culture. Sumud wants to simply listen and provide support to those who struggle, in the dominated countries, against poverty and for liberation, through a kind of voluntary commitment which is neither sentimental nor condescending, rejecting any kind of complicity with those who think volunteer associations should provide sedation against rebellion.
At the same time Teheran is also a regional power projecting its particular interests which do not always coincide with those of the resistance movements. This was especially true for Iraq where Tehran shared a condominium with the US occupation against resistance or decisive parts of its. Also regarding Syria its geo-strategic interests overrule those of the popular revolt. One cannot deny that Shia-coloured anti-imperialism can also fuel sectarian conflict to the detriment of global anti-...
The attack on Libya in 2011 displays at also within decline NATO remains a prime enemy. On the other hand the aspirations of Turkey, a key NATO member, to become a leading power of the Middle East puts the imperialist military alliance into severe troubles as such a role is possible only if Ankara breaks with its traditional role as a pawn of Washington.
One year before in August of 2003 the Anti-imperialist Camp had launched the famous campaign 10 euro for the Iraqi resistance. In spring 2004 three Italian leaders of the Camp had been arrested on the charge of support to terrorism. And one year latter in 2005 44 US congress members launched a petition to the Italian government to ban the Anti-imperialist Camp.

There have been several occasions and moments of which one of the highest was the Beirut International Forum from 16-18 January, 2009, in a joint effort of the Lebanese left and Islamic forces of the Hezbollah milieu. Unfortunately the conditions to lend continuity to the initiative were not ripe. We continue, however, to promote the project of an Anti-imperialist Front.
