We publish the Statement by the International Action Center, which in concrete terms tells what the situation is and asks for world solidarity support for the Palestinian people.
This barbarity by Israel, with the backing of US Imperialism produced demonstrations all over the world in such numbers that frightened even Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama alike.
Since 1948, the United Nations have adopted scores of resolutions condemning Israeli expansionism, killings and expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their land. Why then is the situation getting worse and no solutions found?
The answer is very simple: The Israeli expansionist policy fits very
well with US expansionist policy, and together with Imperialism they Divide and Rule – for now!

For 60 years, Israel has persecuted the Palestinian people with
impunity in defiance of the United Nations General Assembly and United
Nations Security Council Resolutions, orders of the International Court
of Justice, International Law and fundamental human rights.
Throughout all these years, Israel has proclaimed itself the victim as it grew richer, more powerful and more violent, while the Palestinians were abused, impoverished, divided and demeaned.
A consistent tactic of Israel through all of these years has been to divide and conquer the Palestinians against their most effective leading organizations. Through most of these years Israel had attacked FATAH. Now it is HAMAS that Israel attacks. But there is only one Palestinian people and there can be only one Palestinian State Israel.
Israel's policy has always been to destroy the possibility of a Palestinian State: divide and conquer!
Now in the waning days of President Bush and the Government of Israel with its Prime Minister under criminal investigation indictment -now Israel is testing whether world public opinion will permit it to escalate and go on a rampage to destroy the leadership of the Palestinian people in the Palestinian Gaza and launch a genocidal and indiscriminate assault on Gaza. They killed the leader of the Palestinian people in Gaza and his whole family! The world calls upon the United Nations, the US, the EU, NATO and all other countries to demand an immediate ceasefire throughout Israel and Palestine. All borders to Gaza, Israel, Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea must be opened for humanitarian aid and a complete arms embargo plus starting a trade embargo against Israel started, until Israel fully complies with the United Nations resolutions.
We call upon all governments to demand that Israel stops its aggression immediately and that UN resolution 181 of October 1948 in the UN General Assembly be adhered to establish a Palestinian State.
The International Council and Editorial Board of NSC have become signatories to this Appeal. We ask all of our readers to do likewise!
