"Their war, our dead" (fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
(a-infos-en@ainfos.ca)

"With this, we believe it should instead stop the escalation Will in war by ending the 
all-out military interventions that have never helped to stem jihadism. Militarist and 
imperialist policies are partly responsible for the current situation and continue in this 
direction will only lead to an uncontrollable and dramatic escalation, whose first victims 
are civilians." ---- Three days after the attacks in Paris, November 16, Alternative 
Libertaire had invited, in a unit meeting all policies, trade unions and associations 
wishing to react strongly to the slaughter without line up behind the "national unity" 
desired by the government. ---- Ten structures had responded. ---- Several proposals were 
a consensus, as does strengthening the demonstration in support of migrant.es Sunday, 
November 22, and of keeping a unit meeting Tuesday, 24 November.

A joint statement, below, was also adopted.

THEIR WAR, OUR DEAD

On the night of Friday 13 to Saturday, November 14, a series of bombings bloodied Paris 
and Saint-Denis making 130 dead. We condemn these murderous attacks and our thoughts go 
first to blessé.es and relatives of the victims, auxquel.les we send all our support.

These attacks were sponsored by Daech, a reactionary political and military organization 
of Salafist inspiration, born in the chaos of the repression of the Syrian people by 
Bashar al-Assad and the Western military interventions in the Middle East. In the war 
waged for years by the United States and its allies - including France - Iraq and Syria 
meet today terrorist acts, the performers are also recruited, in Europe itself, in a 
stigmatized and often bangs relegated population. And it is the civilian population, here 
as there, who bear the brunt of this war mechanics. Their war, our dead.

In this context, the French Government claims to wage a war against terrorism, but the 
bombings in Syria and Iraq, with the collateral damage they cause, come primarily maintain 
the spiral of war and feed the myth of the "clash of civilizations. " Especially since, at 
the same time, the government maintains cordial relations with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and 
Turkey, first of Daech logistical support, and will not lift a finger to remove the PKK 
(Kurdish Workers Party ) from the list of terrorist organizations, while the Kurdish 
revolutionaries fighting in the frontline facing the savagery organized by Daech.

The political consequences of the attacks are clear today: while the reactionaries of all 
stripes spew their racist hatred and run amok against the Muslim-es, the government seeks 
to install a climate of national unity to justify an intensification of military 
operations the Middle East and to support the implementation of new security measures.

But not only these measures endanger civil liberties but also the restrictions of freedoms 
never allowed to ensure people's security. They have always been used by cons to stifle 
protests and social mobilizations. By extending the state of emergency, which allows the 
suspension of many democratic rights and the legalization of large-scale repressive 
measures but also by proposing to amend the Constitution to include the possibility of 
resorting to a "civilian rule status crisis, "the head of state has made clear that he was 
the choice of strengthening draconian devices. And what about the cost of these measures, 
at a time when social rights (education, health, housing ...) are cut under the pretext of 
economic crisis?

Faced with this, we believe it should instead stop the escalation Will in war by ending 
the all-out military interventions that have never helped to stem jihadism. Militarist and 
imperialist policies are partly responsible for the current situation and continue in this 
direction will only lead to an uncontrollable and dramatic escalation, whose first victims 
are civilians.

Domestically, are opposed to the logic of war escalation that of solidarity and we call 
that social mobilizations continue. We oppose the manifestations of cancellations decreed 
by the government and we call social movement organizations to maintain their mobilization 
schedule.

The "national unity" sought to impose on us is a way to silence the social struggle, which 
we reject and denounce. Religious extremism must be fought, whatever the form, but this 
can be done either by trimming the freedoms of everyone, not stigmatizing part of the 
population because of its origins or religion.

As such, we maintain our full solidarity with the demands of migrants and migrants, who 
will continue to suffer the stigma and punishment or even be mistaken for killers Daech as 
they are for some the first victims: our social struggle is internationalist and 
anti-racist, it is not the draconian measures that the choke.
