Even an "Association of Italian Muslisms" by the grace of the minister of interior join inThe proposal for a demonstration against the US military occupation of Iraq, to be held in Rome on December 13, created quite a stir.The deputy leader of Berlusconi`s "Forza Italia" party has been in the forefront, making press releases, denouncing the organizers to the police and posing questions in Parliament.Other attacks on the demonstration came from the right wing press - Corriere della Sera, whose director Paolo Mieli now openly espouses the neo-con ideology; Libero and Il Giornale. But also from some sectors of the left, apparently jealous of an initiative which they cannot organize themselves, now that all the "left", from former Christian Democrats to Rifondazione Comunista are joining in a … [read more]

Solidarity with the National Liberation of Iraq!!!On Behalf of the Anti-Imperialist Solidarity Committee (USA), we endorse this statement, may the Liberation of Iraq be a foco point for class resistance within the US, may it lead to the defeat of the Zionist Entity, and the purging of all American Chauvenism and Zionist Capitulation from the Internationalist Leftists Forces in the US, for class war in the "belly of the beast". We call on the US working class to stand shoulder to shoulder with the masses of Iraq in their death-defying show down with US/UK imperialism and Zionism, and for the total liberation of the Iraq people from the scorn of Occupation. It is clear as noonsday, that this an hour of put-up or shut-up for those who espouse the just cause of anti-imperialist class … [read more]

DHKC about the attacks in Istanbul on November 15On November 15, attacks were carried out against two Istanbul synagogues, in Beyoglu and Sisli. Everybody is asking themselves who could have done it. And there is always the same word: "Terrorism!"... But when speaking about it one should mention who is responsible. One should take a look at the worldwide situation. There is a constant bloodbath going on in the world. Countries are occupied one after the other, and a people - the Palestinian people - are being systematically massacred before the eyes of the world. In Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine, the USA, Israel and their collaborators are carrying out massacres. From Nepal to Colombia, from Syria to Cuba, throughout the whole world the USA and its collaborators utter threats and … [read more]

Solidarity message to the Anti-imperialist CampTo Anti-imperialist Camp, Iraqi Resistance,Dear comrades and friends,We were informed about the wild attack and shameful conspiracy of the Italian government rulers on anti imperialist camp and Iraqi resistance to repress and stop it. In fact this is the final attempt of imperialists and their mercenaries to save themselves from the burning flames anger of the masses that oppose the savage war especially against Iraqi people. Left Radical of Afghanistan strongly condemns the inhuman act of Italian authorities and seriously objects to stop it. The war for reaching to economic and strategic goals under the pretext of war against terrorism, never will win the support of people around the world, except the like minded fascists who seeks their … [read more]

Urgent appeal to step up solidarity with the Iraqi resistance and its int´l alliesAfter the attack on the Italian occupation soldiers last week in Nasseriyya, the Berlusconi government is sparking off a terrible patriotic campaign. The centre left opposition, keen to seize governmental posts itself, is joining into the hysteria. The two poles of the Americanised bi-partite system are competing on who is more subservient towards to their US masters by supporting their aggression against the Iraqi people.Meanwhile the broad majority of Italians, who opposed the war but is in no way represented by the political system, correctly blame the government for the death of the Italian soldiers. The patriotic sentiment is only superficial and induced by the media but along with the growing … [read more]

By Ahmad Saadat, General Secretary of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)September 28, 2003 marked the 3rd anniversary of the Intifada (Uprising). What distinguishes this last year from the previous two is the rapid political developments, which pose important questions as to the fate of the Intifada and how to reap the greatest benefits of three years of Palestinian sacrifices. In the first half of this year, the Palestinian Authority (PA) fulfilled the obligations required for the completion of phase one of the Road Map, by hiring a Prime Minister with maximum authority. The second half of the year saw US imperialism and its British ally invade Iraq, occupying its lands, despite near unanimous international and UN opposition. It also marked the US declaration of the … [read more]

According to a November 4 Christian Science Monitor the new US-approved textbooks for Iraqi school children effectively eliminate the history of modern Iraq. According to the article the imperial edition of Iraqi history deletes "... any content considered "controversial," including the 1991 Gulf War; the Iran-Iraq war; and all references to Israelis, Americans, or Kurds." Another subject written out the textbooks is the sanctions on Iraq.US officials and members of the occupation`s Ministry of Education worked on the revisions in a series of meetings over the summer at UNESCO and UNICEF offices. "Entire swaths of 20th-century history have been deleted," says Bill Evers, a US Defense Department employee who worked on the new edition.
