‘Greece cannot continue to cooperate militarily or politically with a regime that bombs civilians and destroys societies. No involvement, no facilitation, no silence,’ the party said.
It added that ‘if anything is being decided today in the ruins of Beirut and South Lebanon, it is whether this logic will continue unhindered or whether it will meet real, collective resistance’.
The party’s full statement reads:
‘The massacre in Lebanon is an extremely heinous escalation. Within minutes of sudden Israeli bombings, according to official Lebanese figures, at least 254 people were killed and more than 1,165 injured, with the number constantly rising. This is a massacre, meaning the mass slaughter of civilians and the deliberate destruction of social life, on top of a month of continuous attacks, displacement and terror, with more than a million people already uprooted from the south to Beirut and the north.
‘Through this attack, Israel is openly attempting to sabotage any ceasefire, expand the fronts and drag the region, and with it the world, into a permanent state of war. It is now obvious who is seeking conflict, who is reproducing the cycle of violence and who is investing politically and militarily in destruction. And it is equally obvious that this strategy concerns not only Lebanon or Palestine, but a whole architecture of power that treats entire peoples as obstacles to be eliminated. The goal of the Israeli state is a broader operation of domination, destabilisation and, ultimately, colonisation across West Asia.
‘In the face of this, there is no neutrality. There is a need for a political, social, internationalist response. There is a need to break complicity, to end all support for a state that functions as a force of permanent destabilisation and war.
‘Greece cannot continue to cooperate militarily or politically with a regime that bombs civilians and destroys societies. No involvement, no facilitation, no silence.
‘Because if anything is being decided today in the ruins of Beirut and South Lebanon, it is whether this logic will continue unhindered or whether it will meet real, collective resistance.
‘Solidarity with the people of Lebanon.
‘Severance of military, economic and political relations with the terrorist state of Israel.
‘No assistance from our country and no involvement in the murderous raids.
‘There is no peace without justice, without a free Palestine, Lebanon and Iran.’
