PALESTINE PEOPLE IS NOT ALONE

Zionist Israel, has sped up its massacres on Palestinian people. This State governed by a murderer and a murder gang now kills the Palestinians it sees without paying attention whether they’re child or old.
These massacres are backed by whole imperialist countries. This murder gang could never attempt these massacres if there wasn’t any direct or indirect permission of them.
US imperialism doesn’t only give approval and permission but also personally plans and supports these massacres. Because, this imperialist bandit knows that oppressing the people of middle east and establishing an exact hegemony is related to oppressing Palestinian people and Palestine Revolution.
Israel is a spear tip and a forward police station of US in its Middle East Plans. Zionist Israel, gets power it needs in its brutal massacres from here.
Palestinian people, However, resists heroicly against the US imperialism and Zionist Israel’s plans for taking middle east under its dominance.
Massacres don’t daunt Palestinian People. Each massacres gets Palestinian People’s resistance stronger and pulls the wider parts into war. National oppression of imperialism and zionism gets Palestinian People’s “İntifada” stronger.
While Palestinian People resists imperialism’s Middle East Plans, it doesn’t only shed its blood for its own but also for whole Middle East peoples. Palestinian people and Palestine Revolution is wholly internationalists. Palestine Revolution stands as revolution cresset enlightening the way of oppressed people for a long time.
Middle East peoples get power and moral from Palestine Revolution for the war against the imperialism, zionism and reaction. Turkey and North Kurdistan’s revolutionary forces are the direct witness of the Palestine Revolution’s direct support.

Lets Rise The International Solidarity With Palestinian People
İnternational solidarity relations between Palestine and Turkey’s revolutions has a long history. These relations are extended to THKO (Turkey People Liberation Army) which is the predecessor of our party. Deniz Gezmiş and his comrades who were the founders of THKO and the honorary members have laid the foundations of these relations in Palestine lands by waging a war against the zionist Israel. Relations they have laid the foundations, has strengthered by blood of our comrades İmam Ateş, Mustafa Çetiner and Cevat Saim Çelen (Lieutenant Ali) who have died via fighting for Palestinian People.
All this historical ties prove sufficently that one who is full of real international solidarity with Palestinian People and Palestine Revolution is our party at first and Turkey and North Kurdistan revolutionary movements. Palestine together with its people and revolution is our history.
Bourgeois fundamentalist movements thet seem to be in solidarity with Revolution, in fact are the enemies of the Palestine Revolution while they seem to act with Palestinian people at the same time they’re the militant of religous bourgeois parties (AKP, SP and so on) which in a tight alliance with Israel. Fundamentalists attacking the march made against the US imperialist are these. Also one that is not to turn a hair against the zionist Israel from the beginning of Revolution till soon is this. Who have massacred the revolutionists made actions against the Israel, are the cadres of these religious groups in the state.
The forgery, lie and hypocrisy are the main characters of these groups. What a pity that, many leftist groups unawarenessly act with these in the solidarity actions with Palestine Revolution although they must exhibit and isolate the enemies of the revolution. But, we know that all the works of bourgeois fundamentalist group have an aim to deviate the Palestine Revolution from its own way and pull to a reactionary base.
Communist and revolutionary forces mustn’t permit the fact that the powerfull historical ties between Turkey and N.Kurdistan Revolution with Palestine Revolution will be forgetten darken and concealed by bourgeois fundamentalist groups.
It is the time to act with solidarity with Palestinian People resisting valiantly against the imperialism backed massacres of zionism.

Meeting some of the refugees who have fled Falluja.
Jo Wilding,

This is my honeymoon,” Heba said, in the crowded corridor of bomb shelter number 24 in the Al-Ameriya district of Baghdad. Married just under a month, she fled Falluja with her extended family. “There were bombs all the time. We couldn’t sleep. Even if you fell asleep, nightmares woke you up. We just gathered the whole family in one room and waited.

“It is better here than in Falluja. We hear bombs but they are far away and not so many. But there is no water in here: we have to go outside for water for drinking, cooking and washing ourselves and our clothes and we buy ice. There is no fridge, no fans, no air conditioning, no generator and only one stove for us all. We have to go to the garden for a toilet and that’s a problem at night. Everyone has diarrhoea from the ice that we bought.

Iraqi Health Minister Presses Authorities to Explain U.S. Targeti
Dahr Jamail,

Baghdad, April 17 -- A thundering explosion rocked my bed at just before 8am
this morning ... followed by the cracking of light weapons fire. I met a few
of my friends shortly thereafter atop our apartment building, looking for
the smoke that often follows roadside bombs, but we were unable to spot the
location of the attack.

There's No Explosions

Occupied Baghdad

Sadr City is a massive subdivision tacked on to the North end of Baghdad.
It is home to 2 million of Baghdad’s 5 million residents. It is a Shia
area, and mostly very poor.

During the regime era, the area was known as Saddam City and was strictly
off limits to foreigners. Shia were kept out of universities and
government jobs throughout the 80s and 90s – a silent freeze-out of the
majority of Iraqis through which Saddam sought to divide Sunni and Shia
and shore up his control. Many were isolated in Saddam City by poverty,
and by the Mukhabarat.

First Sight
Andrea Schmidt,

February 29 - March 4 2004

I have been in occupied Iraq for just over a week. Long enough to know
understand that the political situation in Iraq is profoundly complicated
in a way that would have been impossible to understand had I not come
here.

Thus, you should receive this first report, members of the anti-occupation
and anti-’war on terror’ movements in Montreal, Quebec and Canada, with
healthy skepticism, because it doesn’t begin to do justice to that
complexity... What can I possibly say after being here, in this profoundly
complicated place, after only a week and a half?
