Stop the preparations for war! End the embargos!
Solidarity with the peoples of Iran and Syria!
Tens of thousands dead, a traumatized people, greatly damaged infrastructure and a disintegrated state: That is the outcome of the war led by the United States and NATO to plunder Libya’s wealth and recolonize the country.
Now they are openly preparing for war against Syria and Iran, countries either of strategic value or rich in natural resources, which are conducting independent policies and refusing to be subjugated. An attack by NATO on Syria or Iran could lead to a direct confrontation with Russia and China: The consequences would be horrific.
With constant threats of war, the concentration of military forces on the borders to Iran and Syria, as well as with acts of sabotage and terrorism conducted by infiltrated “special forces”, the USA together with other NATO states and Israel are keeping both countries in a state of permanent alert to wear them down.
Cynically and in contempt of humanity the USA and the European Union are systematically trying to cripple their foreign trade and monetary transactions with embargos. They want to plunge the economies of Iran and Syria into a deep crisis, increase their unemployment rates and dramatically worsen their peoples’ supply situation. Their social problems are to be fueled and turned into ethnic conflicts, creating civil wars and providing pretexts for long preconceived military interventions. The German government is also greatly involved in the embargos against Iran and Syria.
We urge all citizens, churches, political parties, trade-unions and the peace-movement to resolutely oppose these policies of war.
We appeal to the German government
• to end all embargo measures against Iran and Syria immediately and unconditionally;
• to make it clear, that she will not in any way participate in a war against these countries and that she will not allow the usage of German facilities by the USA or NATO for such an aggression;
• to stand up internationally to end the policies of blackmail and war threats against Iran and Syria.
The peoples of Iran and Syria have the right to make their own independent decisions concerning their countries’ political and social order. The preservation of peace demands that the principle of not interfering in the inner affairs of other nations is strictly upheld.
