Israel supports the
regional power of USA in the Middle East
The Communist workers' Party of Finland condemns the Israel attack in the area of
Lebanon and Gaza, where Israel has arrested ministers of the Palestine government,
deputies of the Parliament, leaders of the army and killed civilians. Israel has shown by
using gangster methods that Israel is a faithful defender of the interests of USA in the
Middle East. The Israel-attack on Lebanon has been fulfilled by the economical, military
and political support of USA.
It's a question of power politics in this oil-rich area and also a question of who has the
right to exploit the oil resources. To strengthen its position in the Middle East USA
attacked Iraq spring year 2003 and has since occupied the country. Nevertheless the
oil-rich countries in the Middle East continue to collaborate with USA though they should
operate to build a united front against USA.
The attack on Lebanon had been prepared by accusing Syria for Lebanon's former
prime-minister murder and demanding the Syrian forces to withdraw from Lebanon. Though
Syria had both Lebanon's and UN's approval for the presence of its troops. All those
states and their governments that have opposed the world-wide power politics of USA have
been included into the "bad axis"-definition list. USA is trying to overthrow in
these countries, like Syria and Iran, their present leadership and to replace them with
their puppet governments. This kind of violent action is peculiar to imperialistic
capitalism when wishing to bring under its control other independent states.
EU also has showed up its imperialistic character when under discussion is the Israel
attack against Lebanon. The EU countries have not been able to take a stand for peace
against war, even though Israel has killed already thousands of innocent people, has
forced over one million inhabitants to exile from Lebanon and has largely destroyed the
infrastructure in the country and has caused a large scale environmental
damage. European Union states being loyal to capitalism and military power have not
condemned the Israel attacks against Lebanon and have not insisted that Israel must
withdraw its forces from Lebanon and other occupied territories.
Finland being a state member of the European Union has committed itself to fulfil the will
of European Union's great powers to participate in dividing the oil resources in Middle
East, which is being fulfilled by taking under control other independent states and
nations. That is why even the Finnish government has not condemned the Israel attack on
Lebanon and neither has demanded that Israel must immediately withdraw from Lebanon and
also from Gaza and the West-Bank.
The Communist Workers' Party of Finland gives voice to the following claims in defending
independent states and nations from imperialistic attacks.
- Israel must be forced to withdraw immediately from Lebanon and from the Palestine
Gaza-regions and the West-Bank.
- Israel must withdraw behind the borders that existed before war in 1967.
- We need no multinational forces in South-Lebanon to protect the presence of the
imperialistic USA and EU states.
- The Finnish government should take its stand for peace against war.
- Finland must withdraw from EU, which subordinates Finland to approve the military policy
against independent states and nations.
- Israel must compensate the damages it has caused in Lebanon and Palestine area.
- UN must function according to the earlier taken decisions. Its functions are to defend
the independency of its sovereign member states from aggressors.
- UN must approve the foundation of an independent Israel state and an independent
Palestine state. The birth of the Palestine state within just borders is also its
responsibility.
