7. Resolution on unbreakable solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle

The 5th ICOR World Conference resolves

  1. to intensify unbreakable, collective, global solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle against the genocide of the Palestinian people at the hands of the Zionist, imperialist apartheid regime in Israel – until victory is won.

  2. In particular, we call on the comrades in the imperialist countries of the main supporters of Israel, such as the USA or the EU, to realize broad alliances and movements to stop all arms deliveries, military aid and diplomatic relations. At important junctures of the negotiations at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, the ICOR organizations are called upon to participate with delegations and publicize the positions of ICOR.

  3. In addition to solidarity strikes, demonstrations and rallies, we call for a series of political-cultural events “Freedom for Palestine”, which, in addition to the political goals, promotes cultural brotherhood and sisterhood and opens up financial resources for the solidarity movement and ICOR. We stand ready against repression of these events and will not bow to it.

  4. We intensify direct humanitarian aid in the context of the donation movement “Gaza shall live” and change the recipients of the funds from the humanitarian and politically honest NGO directly to the Palestinian self-organization of health care in the Gaza Strip and the mediation by our Palestinian friends.

  5. Besides being direct financial and humanitarian aid, this is linked to confidence building for the construction or reconstruction of a hospital. We start immediately with preparing, planning and mobilizing for this. At the appropriate time, we will launch a fundraising campaign with a large solidarity event.

  6. We strive for joint actions of the democratic, secular and revolutionary movement in the liberation struggle, so that this direction will have a stronger profile in the future. In doing so, we will join forces with all like-minded forces in the national liberation struggle.

  7. The ICOR plans a continuous process of sustained discussion and clarification of the contradictions regarding the revolutionary strategy and tactics of the Palestinian liberation struggle with a proletarian culture of debate.

8. Week of solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle

ICOR organizes a week of solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle from 1 to 7 October 2024.
