The Irish Republican Socialist Party sends solidarity greetings to the
Popular Front for the Liberation Front of Palestine on the occasion of the
party's 36th anniversary. Our own organisation has just celebrated its
29th anniversary, on the 8th of December, and is proud to continue to
represent the militant expression of the Irish working class in seeking
national liberation and socialism, just as we believe the PFLP continues to
represent those inter-twined and inseparable objectives for the Palestinian
working class.
We continue to support the just and democratic perspective of the PFLP, that a two-state solution to the struggle of the Palestinian people is not a viable option, just as we refuse to consider accepting the partition and continued occupation of our own nation, resulting, as it does, in an unviable two-state formulation. Likewise, we share with the comrades of the PFLP the recognition that only by overturning the system of capitalism and replacing it with socialism, can those oppressed by the forces of imperialist exploitation hope to achieve a true expression of national sovereignty. We have said before and we reiterate now, that the PFLP represents the most advanced section of the Palestinian nation and is the representation of the interests of the working people of Palestine, no matter what their national origin. It is the programme of the PFLP which today offers a way forward to the defeat of Zionism and imperialism, the national liberation of Palestine, and the victory of the Palestinian working masses over the exploitation of imperialism and capitalism. We salute your courage in the face of relentless opposition and your steadfastness in defending the interests of the Palestinian nation and the working class of Palestine, who comprise the vast majority of that nation. Is mise le meas,
Peter Urban and Terry Harkin STATEMENTS ENDS |
