[machine translation]

Continue the war in the Gaza Strip ruled by Hamas, but all over the world continue the 
demonstrations against Israel's warmongering choices. Since the disappearance of the three 
settlers from Gush Etzion, (colony for Jews only under the total control of the state of 
Israel in the West Bank), Israel has laid siege to four million Palestinians, bombing 
hospitals, schools, all sorts of civilian targets, destroying and looting houses, 
stealing, carrying out kidnappings, injuring and killing is so indiscriminate that 
targeted outside of any international law. ---- Over five hundred Gazans were killed, 
among them many women and children, and the carnage does not stop; there were no major 
injuries and the terror does the rest of the people in prison who can not run away or hide 
in the bunker.

Quest'ordinaria brutality is the official policy of the state of Israel led by its 
military, not to mention the violence perpetrated by Israeli settlers paramilitaries, 
whose constant aggression towards the Palestinian civilians Increase in recent weeks, the 
latest episode is the abduction and the killing (burning alive) Mohammad Abu Khdeir.

But the goal of the government of Israel is two-fold, to avoid acceleration of the peace 
agreements and to break the unity of the Palestinian government.

Since the election of Obama has continued to increase international pressure on Israel to 
withdraw from territories occupied in the war of 1967. The majority of Israeli efforts 
going in the direction of ease this pressure and to blow up the recent agreement between 
the ' elite Palestinian government in the West Bank and the elite of the Hamas government 
in the Gaza Strip. The yield of Hamas, brought to its knees by the economic crisis, the 
Palestinian Authority, complicated by the choices of the Egyptian government, the threat 
very seriously the project of permanent division of the Palestinians that Israel has 
devoted so much effort, and the possibility of the total collapse of government Hamas in 
the Gaza Strip scares Israel more than anything else.

In 2005, when Israel to dodge the request of the Palestinians to leave the occupied 
territories in the 1967 war, he made a kind of retreat by evacuating its settlers from the 
Gaza Strip, moving the army and put an end to his direct control over Strip, made a giant 
ghetto in perpetual hostage, it controls everything that goes in and out, and all the 
movements of residents. This Israeli strategy aimed at "free" part of the Gaza Strip, 
aimed to prevent the court and the government on the Strip go to the Palestinian 
Authority, to make it possible instead of the control was taken from the separatist 
fundamentalists of Hamas, which Israel itself had sponsored years ago as a competitor to 
the Palestinian elite power with which he signed the Oslo Accords 20 years ago.

Check the residents and the government in the Gaza Strip, but without which may be 
entirely free from the hegemony of Israel, was the means to protect Israeli efforts in 
taking the West Bank.

When the change of regime in Egypt led to the defeat of the Muslim Brotherhood, of which 
Hamas is allied to the siege on Gaza is even more closely with the near-total closure of 
supply routes in means and funds to the Hamas regime . In desperation, the power elite of 
Hamas had reached a ceasefire agreement with the ruling elite of the Palestinian Authority 
in the West Bank. This agreement was presented as a threat to the Israeli strategy of 
divide-and-conquer who had worked for many years and in part justified the refusal of 
Israel to a peace agreement with the Palestinian Authority and the withdrawal from the 
occupied West Bank in the war 1967.

To skip this ceasefire agreement and unity that doe to overcome the divisions within the 
Palestinian elite, Israel launched an attack against Hamas - both in the West Bank and the 
Gaza Strip - with the hope to provoke and stir up a great battle whose outcome would be 
the restoration to power of Hamas independent but weak and submissive ... But the Egyptian 
government headed by General Sisi, who was the first head of the cutting of supplies to 
the Gaza Strip ruled by Hamas refused to do part because of its hostility to the Muslim 
Brotherhood and, consequently, to Hamas and caused the failure of this attempt. Necessary 
at this point to Israel to find a reason, or disproportionately likely to be, and yet 
another diversionary attack for a military offensive and the media. Hence the endless 
slaughter, fake and terrible retaliation on behalf of three young and innocent victims.

It is not enough for a ceasefire and an end to the massacre momentary infinite hitting the 
Palestinians along with the social forces around the world, including Israel, experience 
these days, demand an end to the siege of Gaza, the restoration of civil rights, first of 
all to peace and life, land and water for all / and those who live in the territories, the 
cessation of illegal occupations and dual legislation.

We support all the social and political forces that are fighting in Israel and the West 
Bank as a whole since low against the Israeli occupation and apartheid against 
militarization. Even in these harsh weeks there have been joint demonstrations of popular 
committees Palestinians, international activists and Anarchists Against the Wall, as a 
form of protest, even harshly criticized by the Israeli right, the anti-war, women and men 
who oppose this infamous policy of oppression and hatred and who know that building 
justice together is the first step to building peace. We are all / and them.

Beyond the borders, as well as the ethnic and religious groups, as well as each state.
