"Mr President, for eight days the people of Gaza suffered under a horrific Israeli onslaught. It took the lives of almost 150 Palestinians, the majority of whom were civilians, and a number of whom were children. From the Nobel Peace Prize winners – Obama and the EU – we had the usual support for the right-wing Israeli narrative that this was about Israel’s right to protect its population, as a statement of the Foreign Affairs Council of the EU declared. This onslaught had nothing to do with the security of ordinary Israelis and everything to do with the interests of that right-wing Israeli establishment seeking to increase support in advance of January’s general election and seeking to disrupt the attempt to get UN recognition for Palestine.
I welcome the announcement of the ceasefire, which does mean that the people of Gaza could sleep last night without bombardment, but a lasting peace will only be achieved when there is an end to the national oppression of the Palestinian people and fundamental socialist change in the region in the interests of all working-class people. It is the Palestinian masses struggling from below, linking up with Israeli workers and poor, who can achieve that."@en1
