The International Coordination of Revolutionary Parties and Organisations (ICOR) is a collective of Marxist-Leninists from around the world. It released a statement, which we have signed, on February 25. The situation is more urgent now and grows worse with each passing day. Australia must send the Israeli Ambassador home and immediately resume and increase its payments to UNRWA.

……………

ICOR resolution:

 

 

By stopping their payments to UNRWA, the USA, Germany, Britain, Japan, Austria, Canada, Australia, Finland and Italy are intensifying the development of Israel’s Zionist aggression towards genocide. Over two million people in the Gaza Strip are dependent on UNRWA aid to avoid starvation. The destruction of the UN refugee relief organization would also have devastating consequences for 5.9 million people in the West Bank, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.

 

On 26 January the Israeli government accused 12 UNRWA employees of participating in the Hamas attack on 7 October. This is how the Western imperialists justify the suspension of their payments. Even if this were true: 12 employees out of 13,000, 12 employees who now no longer work for UNRWA, 12 employees who, like all UNRWA employees, were checked annually by the Israeli secret service.

 

The Israeli government is not interested in these 12 employees, it is interested in liquidating food supply and health care for the Palestinian people. Said imperialist powers on the side of Israel are accomplices to war crimes and progressing genocide.

 

The Zionist military’s planned air and ground attacks on Rafah have the same goal of genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza. Originally, 170,000 people lived in the city – now 1.1 million refugees have arrived. They were deliberately driven south by the Israeli military. Either a bloodbath, or a Gaza Nakba to Egypt, or driving the masses into the sea – all of them plans in the offing for the annihilation of the Palestinian people. Since 7 October 2023, 30,000 Palestinian men, women and children have been murdered.

At the same time, all initiatives for an immediate ceasefire are rigorously rejected.
