Uni\u00f3n del Barrio, organizaci\u00f3n pol\u00edtica apostada en territorios ocupados al sur de California, nos declaramos ser parte del rechazo global contra el terrorismo de estado que Israel lleva a cabo contra el pueblo de Palestina, y nos unimos a todas las mujeres y los hombres que aman la libertad y la paz para que se unan en la exigencia de que Israel retire de Gaza su capacidad de imponer la muerte.<\/p>\n

Los Unionistas entendemos y nos solidarizamos con el pueblo hermano de Palestina. Sabemos perfectamente c\u00f3mo se siente cuando un estado terriblemente poderoso se impone militarmente sobre un pueblo y construye muros, reprime ni\u00f1os y familias, y hace valer la \u201cseguridad\u201d y el \u201cbienestar\u201d de su poder sobre el dolor y miseria de la gente.<\/p>\n

Sabemos que todos los asedios y agresiones militares efectuadas por Israel han sido llevadas a cabo con fines pol\u00edticos. Esto lo sabemos porque es imposible crear seguridad o imponer la paz con bombardeos de civiles y la represi\u00f3n colectiva. Lo sucedido en la Franja de Gaza en el a\u00f1o 2008-2009, 2012 y 2014 evidencia que Israel no quiere la paz, si no que quiere exterminar el pueblo palestino.<\/p>\n

Como parte de la estrategia para avanzar esta exterminaci\u00f3n, el gobierno derechista de Israel tiene que mentirle al mundo. Israel se encuentra en la posici\u00f3n de tratar de reconciliar im\u00e1genes de cad\u00e1veres de ni\u00f1os palestinos y una absoluta mayor\u00eda de civiles muertos con una idea que se est\u00e1n defendiendo del \u201csalvajismo de Hamas.\u201d Barack Hussein Obama y los dem\u00e1s traficantes de la muerte no desperdician ninguna oportunidad para elogiar el \u201cderecho leg\u00edtimo\u201d Israel\u00ed de auto-defenderse, derecho que estos porristas argumentan solo le corresponde a Israel.<\/p>\n

La Uni\u00f3n Europea tambi\u00e9n tiene su alta responsabilidad por su postura de distancia \u201cigual\u201d entre el agresor y la v\u00edctima, y al mismo tiempo desarrolla la cooperaci\u00f3n con Israel a nivel militar, econ\u00f3mico y pol\u00edtico. Y las monarqu\u00edas \u00e1rabes, lacayos del imperialismo, no levantan ni p\u00edo mientras que lucran de las ventas de combustible \u00e1rabe que aviva aviones de guerra, drones, buques y tanques para aplastar al pueblo palestino en Gaza.<\/p>\n

A esto no se le puede clasificar de ninguna otra manera, m\u00e1s que de cr\u00edmenes de lesa humanidad. Esto no es m\u00e1s ni es menos que un acto de genocidio en contra del pueblo palestino. Este es el \u00fanico camino que ofrece el sionismo, imperialismo y el capitalismo para conquistar su \u201cpaz\u201d y \u201cseguridad,\u201d y por todo el mundo se sabe que ese no es el camino del futuro.<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1eras y compa\u00f1eros de Gaza, Uni\u00f3n del Barrio esta con ustedes.<\/p>\n

\u00a1No a la agresi\u00f3n militar de Israel \u00a0contra el pueblo Palestino!\u00a0\u00a1Alto a los bombardeos contra Gaza!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a1Fin al bloqueo contra Gaza, que se abran las Fronteras con Gaza!\u00a0\u00a1Viva el pueblo de Palestina!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a1Libertad para los presos pol\u00edticos en c\u00e1rceles sionistas!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n

Uni\u00f3n del Barrio, a political organization based in occupied territories of southern California, declares our position contributing to the global repudiation of Israeli state terrorism imposed on the Palestinian people. Furthermore, we call on our membership to unite with all women and men who cherish freedom and peace so that we may emphatically demand that Israel pull from Gaza its terrible capacity for delivering death.<\/p>\n

As Uni\u00f3n del Barrio we understand very well what is at stake for the people of Palestine. We understand perfectly how it feels when a terribly powerful government imposes itself militarily on a people in order to build walls, repress children and their families, and to enforce the \u201csecurity\u201d and \u201cwelfare\u201d of its political power upon a foundation of pain and misery of a subjugated people.<\/p>\n

We know that this military siege and all attacks undertaken by Israel have been carried out for political purposes. We know this because it is impossible to create security or impose peace by bombing civilians and the imposition of collective punishment. What happened in Gaza during 2008-2009, 2012 and now in 2014 is evidence that Israel does not want peace, but instead seeks to exterminate the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n

As part of the strategy to advance this extermination, the right-wing government of Israel must convince the world to accept its deceptive narratives. Israel is now in the position of working tirelessly to reconcile pictures of dead Palestinian children and an absolute majority of civilian deaths throughout Gaza with an idea that they are defending themselves from the \u201csavagery and aggression of Hamas.\u201d Embroiled in a sick solidarity, Barack Hussein Obama and other international traffickers in death waste no opportunity to declare the \u201cabsolute and unequivocal right\u201d of Israeli self-defense, although these macabre cheerleaders fail to mention their conviction that self-defense is a privilege exclusive to Israel.<\/p>\n

The European Union also bears a high responsibility for their position situating a false equivalency between aggressor and victim, meanwhile the EU cooperates with Israel at the military, economic and political levels. And finally, in the most opportunistic and cowardly fashion, Arab monarchies operate as unrepentant lackeys of imperialism. So-called Arab kings and princes do not raise a peep while they profit from the sale and delivery of Arab fuel to power Israeli warplanes, drones, ships and tanks used crush the Palestinian people of Gaza.<\/p>\n

This crisis must be classified in no other way than as a crime against humanity. This is nothing more nor less than an act of genocide being carried out against the Palestinian people. This logic of death is the path that zionism, imperialism and capitalism offer in order to win their \u201cpeace\u201d and \u201csecurity.\u201d Humanity collectively knows that is not the way of the future.<\/p>\n

Compa\u00f1eras y compa\u00f1eros of Gaza, Uni\u00f3n del Barrio is with you.<\/p>\n

Stop the military aggression of Israel against the Palestinian people!\u00a0Stop the bombing of Gaza!<\/strong><\/p>\n

End the blockade of Gaza, open all borders!\u00a0Long live the people of Palestine!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Freedom for political prisoners in Zionist prisons!<\/strong><\/p>\n
