WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE ITALY SICILY - news journal UPDATE - (en) Italy, Sicilia, FA: Let's stop the wars. Let's desert the States (Communiqué) (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 The specter of global war is hovering in the Middle East. ---- The

criminal attack carried out by the Israeli regime which, violating every
rule of so-called international law, has attacked and heavily hit Iran
is giving a strong push towards the unleashing of a conflict of greater
intensity. ---- The targeted assassinations of the military and
institutional leaders of the Iranian theocratic state, the bombing of
nuclear sites, industrial plants and oil plants, residential buildings,
the evacuation of an immense city like Tehran, whose population exceeds
that of the entire State of Israel (which raises fears of the use of
atomic bombs in Israel's possession), relegates the pro-Nazi Israeli
government among the worst criminal regimes in history.

For more than a year and a half now, we have been witnessing the
extermination of the population and the systematic destruction of every
building in the Gaza Strip, which makes the Netanyahu government one of
the closest heirs of those responsible for the Jewish Holocaust during
the Second World War. Whatever the initial pretext, the disproportionate
Israeli reaction, the indiscriminate bombings with the massacre of
civilians, mostly children, the blockade of food aid, the destruction of
hospitals, the torture and humiliation inflicted on the population, the
plans for permanent occupation and deportation, the contemporary and
bandit-like colonization of the West Bank, in reality respond to a
general plan for the conquest and annexation of Palestinian territories,
with continuous operations of ethnic cleansing, on which the State of
Israel was founded from the beginning, the quintessence of the
nation-state that anarchists have always repudiated, of which it
uncovers the most deleterious and inhuman aspects.

The State of Israel generates hatred, war and death; it has no limits
and has long and recklessly struck, in addition to the Palestinian
territories, also Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq and even Iran. The harsh
and massive response of the Iranian state, with the launch of hundreds
of missiles on Israeli territory and in particular on the cities of
Haifa, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, shows that the ongoing conflict has
reached such a high level as to induce other states in the region of
Muslim confession (from Turkey to Pakistan, from Iraq to the former
Soviet republics), declared themselves in solidarity with Iran, to
support it militarily, opening up even darker scenarios for the future.

The total impunity enjoyed by Israel has so far been possible only
because of the unconditional support given by the United States of
America, the indolence of some Arab regimes and the shameful behavior of
Europe. The Italian government, in particular, is justifying this latest
war unleashed by Israeli pro-Nazis with the bifurcated statements of
Foreign Minister Tajani, aligned with the warmongering theses of the
Trump administration (the war would force the Iranians to give up the
nuclear bomb that they do not possess!), and with the broadcasts of
TeleMeloni (RAI 1), which broadcasts the Israeli government's press
releases. The US administration, in particular, while reeling off empty
words about ongoing conflicts, is actually preparing a global war to
re-establish its imperial control over the planet: it is preparing war
against China and attacking Iran through Israel.

The evidence of what is happening requires civil society around the
world, and anarchist militants, to implement immediate actions to oppose
the triumph of Nazi barbarism and the militaristic ideology that
supports it. Solidarity between states, which has so far allowed Israel
to continue to perpetrate its crimes, must be countered by
internationalist solidarity between oppressed peoples. To this end, the
many streams of protest that are silenced daily by the regime mass media
should be unified in a common strategic proposal, creating, by
distorting reality, that atmosphere of generalized impotence that seems
to paralyze, or to fold towards exclusively institutional and diplomatic
sides - which have indeed proven to be truly ineffective - every
activity of opposition to the wars and Israeli tyranny.

A first broad international mobilization against the policies of
rearmament, against the wars in progress and support for deserters and
objectors, will be held on June 21, in conjunction with the NATO summit
that will meet in The Hague. We call to gather all those in Sicily who
repudiate armaments and wars.

But the mobilization must continue and become more radical, extend
across our territories involving the greatest number of people, aim to
take away space for action and mobility from the Israeli murderers and
their accomplices, to press them through occupations, boycotts and
sabotage, to exert pressure to keep all embassies, consular offices,
diplomatic and commercial agencies linked to the State of Israel closed
indefinitely, to rescind contracts and agreements for supply and
economic and military exchange with it, to definitively interrupt the
circulation of blood-stained Israeli goods and capital.

Alongside this, it is necessary to pose and concretely support the
hypothesis of the reconstruction from below, without state protection
and oppression, of strong, secular Middle Eastern societies, free from
the blackmail of religious fundamentalisms and autocratic apparatuses,
animated by mutual respect, and confederated among themselves, according
to an internationalist and libertarian tradition that is laboriously
re-emerging a bit everywhere in the region, and within Israel itself.
