The Communist Party of Greece supports the case brought by South Africa against Israel at the UN international Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide against the Palestinians.
The facts are undeniable, the murderous state of Israel, which has imposed and maintains the occupation of the Palestinian territories for many decades, is committing a heinous crime in the Gaza Strip, a planned genocide against the people of Palestine.
The death toll is over 24.000, with tens of thousands people missing and injured. Over 70% of the dead are children and women. Gaza has been reduced to rubble and the people are starving and dying without food, water, medical care and medicines, electricity and fuel, while the vast majority of the population has been displaced from their homes.
We demand an immediate end to the massacre in Gaza, an end to the Israeli state's occupation of the Palestinian territories, and the recognition of an independent Palestinian state on the borders established before 4 June, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The KKE calls on the Greek government to stop supporting the state of Israel and being involved in the US-NATO plans and to support South Africa’s case.
It calls on the political parties to take a stand on the crucial issue of the genocide of the people of Palestine, for the condemnation of the Israeli state in the UN International Court of Justice.
It calls on the trade unions and other mass organizations to continue and strengthen their solidarity with the Palestinian people and to demand that the State of Israel be convicted of genocide in the International Court of Justice.
