*This text is adapted from an article published by Le Monde in support of Ukraine on 04/18/2022. Our objective is not only to denounce the repeated crimes against Palestinians, but also to stress the unbearable hypocrisy and the double standards that have allowed these crimes to be committed for so long.
Tribune. Since 1948, Israel has been waging a war of conquest against Palestine. Its army bombs and destroys cities, and kills civilians by the thousands, as it did in Lebanon. The Palestinians have been resisting. However, they need our total support, without reservation
In many countries, however, far too many people have sided with the Israeli dictatorship.
Western powers, large and small, bear the overwhelming responsibility for the devastation of our world. We have denounced the wars they have waged to ensure their continued domination of vast regions, and condemned their defense of indefensible dictatorships to protect their interests. We know their selective use of the values they claim, celebrating the heroism of some resistance fighters and condemning others for “terrorism”.
So, let’s make no mistake about it ! All those who claim freedom for themselves, who believe in the right of citizens to choose their leaders and to refuse tyranny, must stand by the Palestinians today. Freedom must be defended everywhere.
