PETITION OF TRADE UNIONS, FEDERATIONS AND REGIONAL TRADE UNION CENTRES
The trade union organizations signing this petition we are for many years firmly on the side of the Palestinian people and actively express our internationalist solidarity fighting to end the Israeli occupation.
On the 48th anniversary since Israel’s attack in 1967 and the occupation in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, we decisively condemn the crimes of the Israeli state and strengthen our actions and support to the just struggle of the Palestinian people .
Our organizations denounce and fight against:
• The policy of the US and the EU that supports the aggression of Israel against the Palestinian people and equates the victim with the victimizers
• The policy of the Greek coalition Government of the nationalist, racist ANEL and the social democratic SYRIZA that continues the path of previous governments and upgrades multiform political, economic and military relations with Israel and participates in joint military exercises.
Our organizations call on the Greek government:
• To stop the military exercises and cancel its political, economic and military agreements with Israel.
• To immediately recognize the Palestinian state as a UN Member State.
We demand:
• The end of the Israeli occupation and the creation of an independent, viable and sovereign Palestinian state alongside Israel, within the 1967 borders with its capital in East Jerusalem.
• Breaking down the unacceptable wall that separates Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza.
• The immediate cessation of the settlements and the withdrawal of settlers.
• The immediate release of all Palestinian political prisoners in Israel
• The return of Palestinian refugees to their homes in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions.
We Continue and strengthen the internationalist struggle and solidarity with the just struggle of the Palestinian people.
