11 AMKiller Sharon Go Back ! Oppose The Saffron Pact W ith Sharon !Stand By India's Principled Support For The Cause Of Palestine !.
On the anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the wrc towers, the BJP government has rolled out the red carpet for the Israeli PM ArielSharon. The message the BJP wishes to send is nakedly clear -"Israel, the US' close friend. is now India's ally in the 'fight againstterror' "I According to BJP. "both India and Israel arc notions whose people are inhabiting their "spiritual/scriptural home}f!nd". <Jndare vicijms of terrorism at the hands ofIslamic intruders within their nations." We, the democratic people of India can neither accept.
BJP's communally distorted vision ofour country nor the alliance with Ariel Sharon who is the leader of one of the most racistcolonial regime in existence today..
The state of Israel as a "homeland" for the Jews came into being with the backing ofBritish colonial powers-the Balfour Declaration.
of 1917 followed by the British Mandate of 1922. Winston Churchill, boldly justified the takeover ofPalestine by Israel. assertingthatthere was nothing wrong in the dispossession ofthe Palestinians who had lived on the land for centuries, just as there was.
nothing wrong with the ethnic cleansing ofRed Indians ofAmerica or Black Australians by a "higher-grade race"! .
.Israeli PMMenachem Begin called Palestinians ''two legged beasts", while another PM called them "grasshoppers" who could be.
crushed. It is a tragic irony that this is the racist logic used to justify the existence of a state created as a home for the victims of theNazi racist Holocaust. Can wP. lnd1ans,who have experienced similar racist abuse and colonization, support the Israeli occupation.
ofPalestine ? .
In 19'+'7, the UN allotted more than halfofPalestine to Israel, and in the following years Israel gobbled up all the remaining territorythrough continuous war, incursions, and occupation which are continuing till date. Inspite ofthis, the Palestinians' aim today is not.
