After 3‭ ‬European countries implemented their recognition of Palestine‭ ‬“DFLP”‭: ‬Calls on the European Union to translate its position on international law and human rights by recognizing Palestine and boycotting Israel

May 25, 2024

The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine called on the European Union‭, ‬to translate its slogans‭, ‬its respect for the‭ ‬principles of international law and its adherence to them‭, ‬and its respect for human rights‭, ‬to recognize the State of Palestine‭, ‬in recognition of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination on their own land‭, ‬without the conditions of the‭ ‬United States and the occupying state‭, ‬which are working to empty the legitimate national rights of our people from their essence‭, ‬and work in the context to distort and erase them‭, ‬perpetuate the occupation‭, ‬legalize settlement‭, ‬and remain silent on the policy of mass displacement and ethnic cleansing‭.‬

The Democratic Front said‭: ‬The implementation by 3‭ ‬European countries‭ – ‬Ireland‭, ‬Spain and Norway‭ – ‬of their decision to recognize the State of Palestine must constitute a political lesson from which the European Union can draw‭, ‬as required by international laws to take positions consistent with international justice‭, ‬the principles of international law and human rights‭.‬

The Democratic Front pointed out that European colonialism‭, ‬especially Britain and France‭, ‬and with them the United States‭, ‬bears historical responsibility for the tragic fate of our people in light of the French-British mandate‭ (‬colonization‭) ‬of the Middle East and the division of its territories‭, ‬including working to establish the occupying and apartheid state of Israel‭, ‬in compliance with the Balfour Declaration‭.‬

The Democratic Front concluded by calling on the capitals of Western Europe‭, ‬out of respect for democracy‭, ‬as stipulated in their constitutions and laws‭, ‬to listen to the voice of the masses who are still gathering under the banner of Palestine‭, ‬in condemnation of Israeli crimes and the failure of the world to shoulder its responsibilities towards our Palestinian people‭, ‬who is slaughtered every day by a war machine made in the United States and Europe‭.‬
