Call from the Committee of Black Americans for Truth about the Middle-East

From everywhere are coming calls

Monday 2 January 2006

WE, the Black American signatories of this advertisement are in complete solidarity with our Palestinian brothers and sisters, who like us, are struggling for self determination and an end to racist oppression

WE STATE that we are not anti-Jewish. We are anti-Zionist and against the Zionist State of Israel

WE STATE that Israel, Rhodesia, and South Africa are three privileged white settler- states that came into existence by displacing indigenous peoples from their lands. Israel and South Africa each have about 4,500 political prisonersmost of whom have not been brought to trial.

In September 1967, South Africa’s top Army and Air Force officers
learned at first hand about Israels tactics in the Middle East war from General Mordechai Hod, Commander of the Israeli Air Force. He addressed between 50 and 100 officers at the Air Force College, Voortrekkerhoogte Johannesburg Sunday Express, Sept. 10, 1967

WE STATE that Israel
trained the counter-revolutionary para-commandos of General Mobutu, who was one of the persons responsible for the murder of Patrice Lumumba in the Congo, and presently provides arms and other equipment to the Portuguese troops fighting against the Angolan and Mozambican freedom fighters.

WE DEMAND THAT ALL MILITARY AID OR ASSISTANCE OF ANY KIND TO ISRAEL MUST STOP. IMPERIALISM AND ZIONISM MUST AND WILL GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST. WE CALL FOR AFRO-AMERICAN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE’S STRUGGLE FOR NATIONAL LIBERATION AND TO REGAIN ALL OF THEIR STOLEN LAND.

Middle-East.
