With full US imperialism support: Israel intensifies attacks on Palestinians
The occupationist and fascist Israel government has intensified its attacks and bombings of Palestine territories. This, after US imperialism endorsed Israel's attacks on the pretext of "self-defense" against "terrorist groups". Israel is using the suicide bombings and other attacks by radical Palestinian forces on Israelis as an excuse to launch an indiscriminate bombing, firing and killing campaign. As of December, 60 Palestinians had already been killed by the relentless attacks of Israeli troops. Many of the victims were children.
Almost all past agreements between the Palestinian Liberation Organization and Israel which attempted to resolve the already drawn out harsh and bloody contradiction between the Palestinian people and Israeli state have been set aside and abandoned. The Israeli government withdrew its past recognition of the Palestinian Authority and its president, Yasser Arafat. Due to the instigation of the US and imperialist nations in Europe, Israel is pressuring Arafat to repress his own people. This is an attempt to weaken Palestinian unity and turn the different factions against each other.
Prior to this, Palestinians opposed the attempt to legitimize Isreal's occupation of Palestine through a deceptive peace agreement peddled by the US . In this agreement, the US will order Israeli troops to withdraw from Palestine if Palestinians withdraw their demand for strategic parts of their teritories (including the main city of Jerusalem). In keeping with their long history of militancy and armed struggle, Palestinians intensified their struggle against the violent and barbaric occupation of their territories by the puppet Israeli government.
Palestinians launched anew an intifada or armed uprising against Israeli occupation in September 2000 after the last US-sponsored peace talks collapsed. Since then, almost 900 Palestinians and 233 Israelis have been killed in the war. At the heart of the Palestinian struggle is the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. Presently, the centers of conflict are in the Gaza Strip and West Bank areas, mainly Jerusalem, which Israel has occupied since 1967. The occupation has been condemned by many nations and peoples.
