Once again the United States has violated the mandate of the UN, the multiple resolutions issued for more than six decades, the right of the heroic Palestinian people and International Law, by designating the city of Jerusalem as the capital of the Zionist state of Israel and move the headquarters of the US embassy to that city.
This unilateral, arbitrary and colonial declaration will raise the tensions in the Middle East to an unprecedented degree and in fact represents a brutal provocation.
The International Committee for Peace, Justice and Dignity strongly rejects the decision adopted by the Trump administration that violates the right of the Palestinian people to their sacred land with East Jerusalem as its capital.
For almost three decades negotiations have been carried out to reach a solution that satisfies the existence of two States. In that time the demands have remained the same; the Palestinian people’s right to return to their land, the creation of an independent, free and sovereign Palestinian State, the freedom of the thousands of political prisoners in prisons in Israel, and that East Jerusalem is the capital of the Palestinian people.
The United States stands up with impunity as the master of the world, offending the historic culture and religion of the Arab and Muslim peoples while putting the region on the verge of serious destabilization and pushes back the negotiation process.
Trump is not crazy, Trump is the extreme right embodied in power. His government represents the American military complex of which the Zionist State of Israel is an integral part.
Humanity cannot remain silent before this new barbarity by the current tenant of the White House who threatens countries right and left. In Latin America he perversely blocks Cuba and Venezuela, seeks to install compliant governments throughout the region while mocking the UN and Peace that humanity so desperately needs.
We need to raise our voices from every corner of the planet in support of the heroic Palestinian people and let Trump know loud and clear that we do NOT accept his unilateral decision. We do not accept US interference in Palestine. No to Zionism, No tofascism.
We stand together with the actions that are taking place throughout the U.S., Canada, Quebec, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Cuba, Spain, El Salvador, Greece, France, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, Morocco, United Kingdom, Sweden, Tunisia with the slogan: U.S. and Zionists: Hands Off of Jerusalem, Capital of Palestine!
