Hands off the Iran

We all remember how the war on Iraq was prepared. As the sanctions and the embargo caused half a million deaths (mainly children, because of the lack of medecine, milk and necessary goods), Iraq was accused to store "weapons of mass destruction". How can we forget the great play-acting through which Colin Powell, in order to justify what was going to be the biggest massacre after Vietnam, went as far as deceiving the UN Assembly by showing the famous "smoking gun"?

As the war threats escalate, we express our disdain for the statements made by Berlusconi during his visit to Israel. Not only did he justify the indiscriminate massacres against the Palestinians in Ghaza, and not only did he defend the racist and segregationist idea of Israel as a purely Jewish state (with the virtual exclusion of its Arab population from the political rights).

Trampling on the peaceful sentiments of the Italian people and prejudicing the very national interests, Berlusconi assured the Israelis that Italy will stop its economical relationship with Teheran and will actively support the request for severe sanctions. In other words Berlusconi gave a helping hend to the Israeli hawks, who are ready, once they obtain Obama's green light, to unleash a devastating bombardment on Iran, without ruling out the recourse to the atomic weapon.

It is necessary to stop the anti-Iranian escalation and dismantle the Israeli atomic arsenal to denuclearize the Middle-East.

The Israeli siege on Ghaza must end and the Palestinian people must finally see their rights recognized.
