5 th Conference Cairo - Statement

International Campaign against U.S. and occupation Zionist "Towards an international alliance against imperialism and Zionism"

Conference Declaration The 5th Cairo Conference is held at a time of great potential, but also many dangers. The war launched by the Zionist military machine against Lebanon, with support from U.S. and Europe, ended with an unprecedented defeat of the Zionist entity [the State of Israel] at the hands of the heroic resistance of Hezbollah. However, the battle is not over and the fence that the Zionists and the U.S. administration trying to impose on the Lebanese resistance, with the help of local officials and using sectarianism as a weapon after they failed their tanks and aircraft, means we face significant challenges that require us all the greatest degree of solidarity with the resistance and conscious struggle against sectarianism. In Iraq, the fierce resistance against American occupation has pushed the U.S. administration to an impasse. Here too, the occupation uses his last letter and try to convert the battle against it in a nasty sectarian conflict between Sunnis and Shiites. The resistance will liberate Iraq only if it avoids falling into the trap of sectarianism and become a unified national movement, a movement that unites Shiites and Sunnis against the occupier U.S.. And in Palestine, where the resistance, under the leadership of Hamas, has survived the siege of hunger without succumbing to American pressure, Zionists and Arabs to recognize the Zionist entity, as well as the Oslo accords. There is also the enemy and its local agents have tried to impose a civil war to divert the resistance of its objectives and cause Palestinian hands spill Palestinian blood. Despite recent agreements and be aware that it must resist such attempts, the Palestinian resistance faces a major challenge and the siege will not be deleted if not revive the Intifada and not reactivated the resistance forces . Also today

we witness the escalation of military threats against Iran and the widespread mobilization of the American administration to launch against this country a fierce air attack. Clearly, the greater the loss of the U.S. administration in Iraq, it speaks most of the Iranian threat and the need to confront him. As always, Arab regimes "moderate" play their part in this agenda, whether in the fields of logistics and military campaigns or through the media in order to isolate the Iranian regime.

crazy Bush a war against Iran will result in hundreds of thousands of victims, and probably the region and the world entering a long period of wars and unprecedented turmoil. We must unite our efforts to stop this insane war, organizing protests, demonstrations and campaigns worldwide.

While imperialism and its allies are using sectarianism as a weapon to divide and weaken the resistance, U.S. and European governments and their media use weapons of racism and Islamophobia to justify its colonial aggression and seek division of the movement against the war. Thus, anti-Muslim racism is an integral part of our struggle against war.

In Arab countries can no longer separate the struggle against the despotism of the struggle against war and against American and Zionist colonialism in the region. Imperialist allied regimes, especially Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, play a fundamental role in attempts to strangle and besiege the Palestinian resistance, Lebanon and Iraq, in exchange for U.S. support for their despotism. For this reason, any action taken in the Arab countries for freedom and justice is a new shot gun resistance, and each victory achieved by the resistance is an earthquake that shakes the thrones of despotism and corruption in our region. Nor can continue to separate the policies of hunger and misery imposed by these schemes to the Arab people, on behalf of capitalist globalization and neoliberalism, the role played in the regional conflict. These same systems, which open their territories, territorial waters and airspace to U.S. military-colonial economic policies that only benefit the interests of huge multinational corporations and a handful of corrupt local entrepreneurs. And all this at the expense of the vast majority of the population. We face significant challenges and we hope our conference a qualitative step forward in the way of joining forces between resistance movements and Arab national movements opponents, including Islamists, socialists, Arab nationalists and the global antiwar movement. With all these challenges, the 5th Cairo Conference concluded with the following recommendations: I. Supporting the resistance in Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon
