Statement of the REVOLUTION International Council, June 2008

Different representatives of the ruling class of Israel and the US have increased pressure against Iran again. It was Hillary Clinton who started with saying that she would eliminate Iran if it would attack Israel. The designated candidate for the US presidential elections, Barack Obama, followed suit and made clear with his speech in front of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) that he is a “friend of Israel”. In this speech he also emphasised that “there is no greater threat to Israel – or to the peace and stability of the region – than Iran” and that his “goal will be to eliminate this threat”.

Here in Stockholm there will be a demonstration of the fascists on the 6th of june, swedens "national day". Revolution in Stockholm has joined the network against racism, where we have taken a strong position as a group taking initiatives in trying to draw in other forces to widen the united front. As a result mainly from our initiatives, other groups such as the CWI and the Young Left is now planning to join in the demo. In this work we gained the respect of other forces in the network (mainly anarchists).

After the devastating earthquake that rocked China on 12th May, the official figures show 19,500 dead and the real toll could be as much as 50,000, while the search for trapped people continues. The government is mobilising 30,000 extra troops to Sichuan province, which was hit worst, to help the 50,000 already searching. But relatives of those missing are also taking the search into their own hands – including parents at Juyuan Middle School about 50km from quake’s epicentre, where around 900 children were in the rubble.

On November 25, two young people from the suburb Villiers-le-Bel in the North of Paris were involved in a lethal incident with the police. While not all the facts of this accident are clear, one thing can be said for sure: the policemen hit and ran. The two young people were left badly hurt, and died of their injuries. Since then the press has been reporting the reactions of the young people in the suburbs and comparing the events with riots of autumn 2005/2006. What they don’t mention is the massive, murderous failure of French police. After the accident young people from the banlieues (the name of the French suburbs) have attacked police stations and other state buildings. Their anger is aimed at the state organs of repression and all of its institutions. On Monday (November 26) there were reports of unrest in six other banlieues.
