* Killing of the Palestinian People Must End Now 
9 March 2002 

The atrocities in the current round of the Israeli government's war 
against the people of Palestine have taken on new dimensions. 
Israel's policy has now been officially appropriated by the most 
right wing faction and most fascist politicians. Unable to deal with 
its racist views and policies, the peace movement has effectively 
emptied the scene for the right. Palestinians will not be the only 
victims of Sharon's fascist policies aimed at bringing the 
Palestinians to their knees. Israeli fascism, supported by the USA, 
promotes Islamic fascism and is the source of its reproduction in 
Palestine and the entire region; it in turn is victimising the 
innocent people of Israel and the Middle East, both physically and 
psychologically. 

The Worker-communist Party of Iran demands an unconditional and 
immediate end to the killing of the people of Palestine, an end to 
the occupation of Palestine, recognition of the state of Palestine 
and an equal and peaceful coexistence with the state of Palestine. 
This is the only human and immediate way to end the current situation 
and guarantee a civil life in Palestine and Israel.  It will allow 
the people of Israel and Palestine to decide their future without the 
spectre of nationalism and religion.
