Israel has intervened in the demonstrations of protest during the official opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem and murdered tens of Palestinians including children and elderly. With this, the racist attacks of Israel that has been going on since March to the march of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip has gained a new dimension.
The arrogant declarations of Israeli government, that is spoilt by its allies and has taken the advantage of US moving its embassy to Jerusalem, point out that they will proceed with these massacre policies.
There is no legitimacy in the decision of the US to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Countless attacks has taken place in the region since the declaration of this decision. While today is the seventieth anniversary of Nakba, the forced deterritorialization of Palestinian people, organizing the opening ceremony earlier on this very day is another dimension of this absolutely provocative act.
While several countries have acted as part of this provocation by sending their representatives to the opening, the call of EU for moderacy is an absolutely token gesture. The declarations of AKP government, that on one hand exhibits itself as the defender of Palestinian cause and on the other hand claims to be the strategic partner of US, that keeps all its military, economical and political relations with the US and Isreal and that feeds on the poverty and losses of Palestinian people, are hypocritical.
But the problem is not just the US, that has lost its ability to control, being ruled by a freak, nor just the collaboration of regional governments that continuously victimize the Palestinian people in negotiations. The problem is all these to their fullest extent. The problem is this impasse in front of humanity that the world capitalism has posed.
The reactionaries can only shed crocodile tears and pretend to mourn for Palestine, whereas the solution of the issue can be achieved only through a determined struggle with imperialism, its accomplices and all the elements which hold this system that demolishes humanity.
We hereby declare once again: The communists of Turkey will maintain their solidarity with the resisting people of Palestine against occupation and will continue to be part of this determined struggle. The collective struggle of peoples will invalidate the dirty plans of imperialism, thousands of Palestinians that had to spent decades as refugees will regain their motherland, the Palestinian people will gain their independent state. The just resistance of Palestinian people will win!
The Communist Party of Turkey
