BASQUE STATEMENT IN SOLIDARITY WITH SYRIAN PEOPLE
-Manifestua inglesez-
-Manifestua inglesez-
All the peoples (countries) of the world have the right to freely exercise self-determination.
We the signatories below completely reject
the interference of foreign powers in the affairs of Syria, which
violates the most elementary rights of the people.
“Whereas it is essential, if man is not
to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against
tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the
rule of law” – UN Declaration on Human Rights.
The war instigated against the sovereign
Syrian Arab Republic is a crime against humanity which the aggressors
justify behind the veil of humanitarian aid. This imperialist war has
little to do with humanitarian aid or with internationalism, which
represents the tenderness between peoples.To give credit to the hypocrisy of the
aggressors’ speeches that claims to defend the values of democracy, of
human rights, humanitarianism, women’s rights, international law, world
peace, the illegal utilization of chemical weapon and the defence of the
innocent civil population, is to comply in the imperialist ambitions of
the aggressor.What this war will result in is complicity
in the current, as well as future, massacres of the Syrian people. The
capitalist governments of the United States of America; Israel; Qatar;
Turkey; Saudi Arabia, amongst others as well as those of Europe try to
hide the real aims of this war. We refuse to be their “picador’s
assistant”. We refuse not to see, not to listen and not to speak.
Rather, we affirm that the following interests are served in this war
game:
- Financiers (to keep the hegemony of the dollar over the Euro and to avoid the prospect of the oil corporations receiving Euros in return for oil).
- Economic (the free access, or more precisely the theft, by transnational monopolies of the natural resources of other nations)
- Of safety and cost of the transport (to guarantee the transport of these resources towards the consuming nerve centres of capitalism)
- Military (to guarantee the free access to zones of offensive against the development of China and Russia)
- Geo-strategic (to prevent, or avoid the development of a pole of power by means of possible alliances between the nations of the zone and of these with others).
The overall strategic aim is to re-draw the
borders and to effect the complete reorganisation of a ”New Middle
East”. The European and American-Israel roadmap is based in the concept a
neo-conservative ideology of “creative destruction” of “constructive
chaos” and the “permanent war against the terrorism”.With it, they justify the suffering of the
peoples as a “necessary consequence” and promote this fragmentation
through the concept of Balkanisation, using the sectarian war between
brothers and sisters and the deployment of the age old tactic of “divide
and rule” that has been put to effective use in so many other
conflicts.However, not only it is a question of
dividing and conquering the villages, towns, cities, and ultimately the
states of the entire Middle East, but also of “pacification” or “social
peace” processes through extermination.They seek to artificially provoke
fratricidal wars and sectarian terrorism between members of different
religions and diverse ethnicities. Their aim is demographic and not
democratic change. It is ultimately the elimination of every superfluous
population in order to supress any claim for their rights, or to fight
for a dignified life and for freedom and self- determination.The prevailing conditions of alienation,
lack of ideological cohesion, an information deficit and organizational
and political weaknesses incapacitates the European left to launch
effective internationalist and anti-imperialist solidarity.
[[[[[Therefore we affirm that it is the popular
Syrian organizations that fight against imperialist interference,
alongside the Arabic Syrian Army and the government of Assad who
represent the anti-imperialist organizations of the region.It is they who display an impeccable
exercise of revolutionary internationalism. It is they alone who can at
present prevent the major evil of a humanitarian criminal disaster to
which all the peoples in the complex ethnic-religious composition of
Middle East and also of the Syrian Arab Republic are doomed.]]]]] [[[[If Syria
falls, the Arabic, the Palestinian, and the national Kurdish aspirations
will potentially be lost forever]]]]].There is no analysis or arguments that can
be put forward by the European left to justify or offer support, or even
the merest of approval, to the alliance of the internal Syrian dissent,
with imperialist aims and interests. It is not possible put forward a
justification for this imperialist war while obviating responsibility
for the consequences for all the peoples of the conquest, the redesign
and the imperialist neo-colonisation of the “New Middle East” on the
part of western capitalism.
The escape forward that r great part of the
European left side do, forgetting his nule internationalist interest
showed by the Syrian people till now, obviating the beginning of the
minor evil and closing the eyes before the real aims of the principal
enemy of the humanity (with whom it coexists too comfortably still) it
takes as a consequence not alone the empowerment of this enemy but the
ideological weakening and the ethical decadence of this left side.
To this end we urge progressive and leftist men and women to:
-Respect the Arab cause in general and the people of Syria in particular.
-Continue to support anti-imperialist
principles and to oppose their own governments and national powers who
engage in imperial wars.
-Work to oppose sanctions against the Syrian
Arab Republic and other countries of the Middle East. Oppose this
supposed “humanitarian” aid mission that will in fact provide political,
economic, financial and military support to groups of salafists,
tafkirists, wahabi and mercenary groups. No war is humanitarian.
-Offer spaces and political resources that
facilitate diplomacy and negotiation, without following their own
interests, as a route to the resolution of the internal conflicts of
Syria and other States.-To push the boycott campaign against any
Zionist expression and Israel’s interests in the cultural, academic,
artistic, economic, sports area, etc…
