>War Resisters' International heeft dezer dagen in Kaapstad een

>33 Afrikaanse landen. Vredesbeweging PAIS, -de nederlandse sectie van

>WRI statement on the present Israeli assault on Gaza
>10 July 2014
>
>The Assembly of the War Resisters' International, gathered in the City
>Hall of Cape Town, South Africa, strongly condemns the ongoing assault
>by the Israeli military on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. War
>Resisters' International considers all war a crime against humanity,
>and we therefore call for the immediate end of hostilities, and in
>particular the repeated aggression by the State of Israel against
>Palestinians.
>
>As opponents of war, we also oppose the causes of war, and stand in
>solidarity with oppressed people all over the world. We therefore call
>for the end of the occupation of Palestine and--especially gathered at
>the building from which Nelson Mandela made his first speech after
>release from prison--we call for the end of all forms of Apartheid
>everywhere.
>
>Israel's apologists present its bombing of Gaza, yet again, as a form
>of self-defence, or as a mere response to hostilities from the other
>side. But we consider that this is, rather, a well-planned, precisely
>timed, assault, undertaken on the back of the dead, wounded, and
>traumatised civilians on both sides for clear political purposes.
>
>The recent truce agreement between the Fatah and Hamas raised the
>possibility of a united Palestinian leadership as an adversary to
>Israel in resistance and a potential partner for peace. We believe it
>is this possibility that Israel is targeting with this assault, and
>that it seized on an opportunity to do so presented by the murder, by
>unknown assailants, of three young men from West Bank colonies. A media
>campaign was launched around the murder, first presented as a
>kidnapping, and this campaign provided the necessary pretext for a
>concentrated attack on Hamas activists throughout the West Bank and for
>breaking the terms of a relatively long-lasting truce agreement between
>Israel and Hamas in Gaza. After violating the truce agreement, Israel
>slowly escalated the bombings in the Gaza strip, until an all-out
>assault could be carried out, seemingly justified by the rocket fire
>from Gaza that Israel knowingly provoked.
>
>We firmly believe that the most just and effective way of resistance,
>even to grave violence, is nonviolent resistance. Therefore, we choose
>to support those Palestinians and Israelis, as well as international
>activists, that undertake nonviolent resistance to the illegal
>occupation of Palestine. We do not support armed violence, whoever uses
>it, but we support the right of all oppressed people to struggle for
>their liberation.
>
>We mourn all the dead and grief for all other victims of this conflict
>on both sides. We call on the Israeli military and the government it
>controls to immediately end this assault on Palestine and the
>occupation that is its root cause.

>
>War Resisters' International: Statement about Ucrain.
>
>
>War has returned to European soil, and it seems that Europeans are not
>capable, or not willing, to apply the lessons they try to teach in
>other parts of the planet. The European Union, a winner of the Nobel
>Peace Prize, put Ukraine in an impossible position when it asked it to
>choose between a political pact with the EU or a close economic
>relationship with Russia. Ordinary people in Ukraine have some of the
>lowest wages in the continent, and face one of the highest levels of
>political and economic corruption, creating hopelessness among many of
>them - hence the offer from the EU seemed to many like a golden
>opportunity to take a first step out of the mire.
>
>The use of violence by both sides in the later stages of the Maidan
>protests created a precedent, and served as a justification for the use
>of violence in parts of Ukraine where many people disagree with the
>country's new political course. Also, the presence of neo-nazis in the
>new official Ukrainian politics, and the rise of the paramilitary units
>connected with them, encouraged other Ukrainians - in areas where many
>feel more attracted to and connected with Russia than with the EU - to
>consider armed struggle a legitimate method of dealing with conflict.
>
>Russia didn't wait long to take possession of Crimea, justifying it as
>the will of the people - despite having overlooked such considerations
>in its own territories little more than a decade ago, when there was
>brutal repression of secessionists. Similarly, the Ukrainian government
>has used force against pro-secessionists. This demonstrates once again
>that, for the states involved, the conflict is about territory rather
>than about the lives of the inhabitants.
>
>In this conflict, we see that it's hard to distinguish between
>civilians protesters, from whichever political perspective they come,
>and members of paramilitary units who often mix with the unarmed
>peaceful protesters. This encourages the tendency for civilians to
>become military targets, as happened in Odessa and elsewhere.
>
>NATO did the only thing it knows: it started manoeuvres which looked
>like a threat of war, and Russia did the same by grouping its forces on
>the border with Ukraine. NATO's latest manoeuvres are actually planned
>to take place inside Ukraine. The only winners of the continuing use of
>arms in some contested areas of Ukraine will be the arms industry,
>which is now lobbying for higher military spending in European
>countries because of the "threat" of a larger conflict.And the new
>Ukrainian president, who has received wide international legitimacy,
>has his answer to the situation - more violence.
>
>Therefore:
>
>We call for an immediate unconditional ceasefire by all sides involved
>in the conflict.
>
>We call for NATO and Russia to stop threatening each other; to stop
>moving troops around the area; and to stop the rhetoric about resuming
>the arms race, about renewing nuclear weapons, and about the "star
>wars" missile shield planned in Eastern Europe. And we condemn NATO's
>expansion into new areas.
>
>We call for a stop to further militarisation of the region, which takes
>the form of an increase in military conscription and the creation of
>new military forces (official and otherwise).
>
>We call upon Ukrainians to resist the warfare nonviolently, to refuse
>to participate in it, and - especially if they are mobilised by force,
>by either regular or irregular armed forces - to express their
>conscientious objection to the war.We condemn the unilateral change of
>ownership of Crimea and call for such issues to be resolved calmly,
>including by the use of accepted international legal processes, to
>prevent creating new "frozen" conflicts.
>
>We call for immediate negotiations, with international mediation, and
>involving all sides concerned, so as to find a solution that will
>guarantee long-lasting peace in the region.
>
>We condemn the inclusion of fascist groups in the Ukrainian government,
>thus breaching the EU's taboo on the presence of such groups in
>EU-connected governments.
>
>We call for the media, from the West and from the East, to avoid the
>spreading of military propaganda and rumours, and to focus on accurate
>and professional reporting of events in Ukraine. In particular, they
>should avoid encouraging polarisation, neither dismissing the whole
>Ukrainian government as fascist nor characterising protesters in
>southern and eastern Ukraine as Stalinist.
>
>War Resisters' International stands ready to offer whatever support it
>can to all those who resist warfare by any nonviolent means, especially
>to conscientious objectors and deserters. We remind all parties
>involved that the right to conscientious objection is recognised by the
>European Court of Human Rights, and that both Ukraine and Russia are
>bound by its ruling.

>Statement adopted by the WRI Council, 11 July 2014.
