What is happening in Gaza is a crime against humanity and those responsible for these horrific acts want us to endure the unbearable.

The combined behavior of the fascist forces of Zionism and US imperialism is not a secret to anyone. Their cruelty and brutality knows no bounds. They will kill as many as necessary to maintain their conditions of domination, profit accumulation, and world expansion.

Their goal is to scare us, to immobilize us, to silence our voices and to limit our focus to only ” Our own affairs.

After more than a year of genocide and massive war in the Arab-Iranian region, we cannot even for a moment, until the efforts of Resolutely and collectively, let us stop American imperialism and Zionism from Palestine.

Our answer echoes the wisdom of the famous Iranian poet Saadi:

Chu a member of the past hurt
Don’t leave other members!

With such mandate, we, the undersigned, reiterate and emphasize the following calls:

1. The genocide in Gaza must end now.

2. The siege of Gaza must be lifted immediately and the besieged Palestinians must be allowed access to emergency humanitarian aid. be.

3. All business dealings with Israel must be stopped now. The international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel must be expanded to include the broadest communities around the world, in every country.

4. The governments of the world should, following the inspiring examples of countries like Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua, cut off their relations with the Zionist state of Israel.

5. We call on all peace-loving and freedom-loving activists and justice-seeking people around the world to join us in making these demands every day, without interruption, in every factory or other workplace, in every educational center, in neighborhoods and communities, in every village and city ​​and from any country.

6. The extensive measures of international solidarity with Palestine must not be weakened. Imperialists and Zionists attack us, deprive us of agency, and seek to punish us for our actions in the path of solidarity. But we will not be disappointed; Rather, we will redouble our efforts.
