As Palestinians Remember the dead of Sabra & Shatila,
The UN Rewards Israeli War
Criminal Ariel Sharon!

As Palestinians and the world remembers the 23rd anniversary of the Sabra and Shatila massacres, committed on 17th-19th of September 1982, the 60th UN General Assembly will host Apartheid Israel's Prime Minister and arch war criminal. Ariel Sharon is invited in front of the international community's most prominent forum to represent a state which is grounded and continues to flourish upon the destruction of the Palestinian people.

Sharon began his murderous career in 1952 as a commander of the Zionist army during the massacre in Qibya where 69 villagers were slaughtered. He was the architect of the massacre in Sabra and Shatila that cost the lives of 2000 people. He is one of the masterminds of the Occupation's settlement policies in the West Bank and Gaza and now implements the project of the Apartheid Wall prepared by his predecessors against the rights of the Palestinian people and in defiance of international law.

Sharon represents a regime that is not only fighting the Palestinian right of existence on their land but also violates international law and conventions on a daily basis. Hundreds of UN resolutions have been disregarded by the Occupation while the decision of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to dismantle the Wall has been brushed aside by the Occupation bulldozers that continue their to destruction of Palestinians lands and lives.

Instead of condemning Sharon as a war criminal,
Instead of expelling Apartheid Israel from the UN on the grounds of its non-compliance with international law, UN resolutions and its founding charter,
The UN prepares to applaud Israel's latest move towards the Bantustanization of Palestine - the Gaza "disengagement" - refusing to acknowledge that Gaza is and remains the world's largest open air prison. It pressures the Palestinian people to "negotiate" on the status of their ghettos and to surrender to the facts on the ground imposed by the Occupation.

Popular mobilization in the West Bank and Gaza will remind UN that:
  • The Palestinian people do not require Walls or Ghettos but Freedom and the Liberation of their land.
  • The Palestinian refugees in Sabra and Shatila, in Gaza and all over the world will never give up their right of return.

    If the United Nations want to keep up a facade of coherence with their own rules, it should not allow the presence of the wretched war criminal and Prime Minister of Apartheid Israel in front of the General Assembly but work towards ending Israel's impunity and the international support for the Occupation, colonization and ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

    The 60th Session of the UN General Assembly is asked to:

    • Start the implementation of the UN resolutions including resolution 194.
    • Enforce the decision of the International Court of Justice to tear down the Apartheid Wall and to prohibit any international aid or assistance for this crime.
    • Insist on the true meaning of the "Gaza disengagement", as a ploy to further split and weaken the Palestinian resistance and to enable the annexation of 47% of the West Bank and the expulsion of Palestinians from their capital in Jerusalem.

    We are thus calling on all groups, organizations and movements to mobilize around the 15th of September to oppose and denounce the presence of mass murderer Ariel Sharon.

    Make these days occasion of global accusation and condemnation of Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people and of international complicity!

    Organize sit-ins in front of the UN offices in your country and protest with its officials!

    Call upon your parliaments and governments to oppose the presence of Ariel Sharon at the UN General Assembly and to question Israel's membership within the UN!

    Sing up to the petition to oppose Ariel Sharon's address to the UN General Assembly!

    Strengthen & Broaden the Popular Movement to Isolate Apartheid Israel!
