EUSKAL HERRIAK SIONISMOARI STOP!!!

 
Este trato de favorque recibe el embajador deportivo del estado sionista de Israel y del que no sebenefician otros equipos, que sí son europeos, transciende lo puramentedeportivo y tiene unas connotaciones políticas evidentes. Obvia decir que nadieimaginaría ver jugar en competiciones europeas a otros equipos de sus paises vecinosde Oriente Proximo como Siria, Libano, Jordania, Irak...¿Por que entonces sí sele permite a Israel?, ¿Por que precisamente coincidiendo con el 60 aniversariode la fundación del Estado de Israel, Al Nakba (el día de la catastrofe) paralos árabes, se toma una medida de este tipo?.

El pasado Mayo secumplían 60 años de la creación unilateral del estado de Israel, lo que supusoel comienzo de la limpieza étnica sistemática del pueblo palestino, el comienzodel exilio para un millón, 5 millones a día de hoy, de los 9 millones depalestinos que hay en el mundo. Todo un pueblo que se ve relegado hoy en día avivir en el 10% de su territorio original, rodeados de 800 kilometros de murode cemento, aislados en ghettos, y sometidos a unas condiciones desupervivencia cada día más insostenibles.

[AL- MAJDAL* nº38 / by Patricia Lezama]

On 30 September 2006 in Bilbao, we presented the Basque Initiative of Boycotting Israel at a press conference. The main purpose of this initiaive, since it was launched on that day, has been to build a movement in Euskal Herria (Basque Country) behind the Unified Palestinian Civil Society Call for Boycotts, Divestment and Sactions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with international law; a call that was supported by over 170 Palestinian social, political and labor organizations.

Generally speaking, the Initiative aimed to call on Basque society, its public and private, cultural, athletic, academic, financial and commercial institutions as well as the workers' unions, political parties and and all individual citizens of Euskal Herria to consciously boycott and disconnect themselves from all global Zionist institutions.

The specific focuses of the campaign were as follows:

•  To publicly reject the presence in our territory of any group, organization, institution, company, sports team, cultural or musical group coming from Israel, and to ensure that such groups would not feel welcome in our territory;

•  To actively denounce any organization or institution that maintained any relations with the Zionist institutions until these relations are broken;

•  To reject all Israeli goods, whether consumer, cultural, or other products;

•  To compile and disseminate information on the Zionist-Israeli presence in our territory in any and all of its forms as part of mobilizing the people of our territory to all play an active role in the campaign to end Zionist profiteering and normalization in Euskal Herria, and to denounce Israel's occupation of the Palestinian homeland, and the denial of Palestinian refugees' right to return.

Conscious that there is still a long and difficult way to go before Israel's apartheid regime is dismantled, but without abandoning our commitment towards the Palestinian struggle, the Initiative was mainly spearheaded by two internationalist organizations: Komite Internazionalistak and Askapena. When it began, the Initiative was centered in the territory of Bizkaia. 

As the awareness-raising introduction to the campaign grew, and slogan of boycotting Israel gained popular currency, we felt the increasing need to set targets and work on specific campaigns. As such, we began discussions on what would be the most effective aspects of the campaign to start with. After long meetings and reflections, we decided to focus on two major spheres of campaign work: academic and economic boycott. While we worked on these campaigns, we continued to carry out different actions of disrupting cultural and sporting events that legitimized the participation of representatives of the Israeli state. We also worked to ensure the presence of our activists and visual and outreach materials in spaces where large masses could be sensitized to the importance of our campaign and the illegitimacy of legitimizing an apartheid state.

Nowadays, the initiative is being welcomed by different movements all over Euskal Herria. There are many regular actions in the streets, as well as awareness-raising lectures. We also make a strong effort to write for the local press, and respond to arguments in the media that hide the crimes committed by Israel. Our slogan, 'Israeli Boikot Euskal Ekimena,' is plastered everywhere along the streets of our towns and cities. As I said, we remember that the way is long and that there is much work to do, but in Euskal Herria we will not accept to be accomplices in Israel's crimes.

Askapenak, Naqba eguneko mobilizazioetan, Israeli boikota egitearen beharra berretsi zuen:  

(Askapena.org)

Aurtengo Nakbarako mobilizazioak Israeli boikota egiteko sozializazioan, eta beraz Palestinarekiko elkartasunean, beste urrats bat bezala hartzen ditugu. Eta ez da urrats makala izan, poztekoa da Euskal Herriko herrialde guztietan elkartaratzeak, pankartak, hitzaldiak, elkarrizketak, etab. egin izana. Eta gero eta gehiago egingo dira, ziur gaude.

-Bilbon 35 lagun bildu ziren, Algortan 20, Basaurin 20, Elorrion 30, Bermion 50, Ondarrun eta Sodupen pankartak egin ziren eta Galdakaon 10 lagun bildu.
Gasteizen 60 lagun bildu ziren korreosen eta Arabatakadan 15 lagun igo ziren eskenatokira eta Israelgo bandera bat erre zuten.
Iruñean 40 lagun elkartu ziren Altsasun 22, Garesen 20 lagun eta Tafallan pankartak jarri ziren.
Irunen pankartak jarri ziren eta 15 lagun bildi ziren hitzaldi batean, Tolosan ere pankartak jarri ziren eta Azpeitian 50 lagun elkartu ziren.

Azken helburua Euskal Herrian Israelgo estatu zanpatzailea presentziarik ez izatea da, herritarrok estatu zapaltzaile bezala ikusi eta boikoteatzea, eta herritarron presioaren bidez euskal instituzioek, entrepresek, kirol taldeek, kultur taldeek, etab-ek Israelekin harremanak etetea. Lortuko dugu.

Palestinar herri ezin duinagoak beste urte batez Nakba aldarrikatu du beren nazio-hondamendi bezala, dagoeneko 60 urte errefuxiatuta, hiriak eta herrixkak suntsituta, preso, eskubiderik gabe. Palestinar herriak, hala ere, eusten dio eta eutsiko dio, guri dagokigu beren etorkizuna eskubideez betearaztea, horretarako Palestinatik nazioarteko gizarte zibilari, argi eta garbi, zera eskatzen digute: Israeli Boikot, arlo guztietan.

Azkartu dezagun Euskal Herrian eta munduan Palestinarekiko elkartasuna, eta lehenbailehen Palestinar herria behin lapurtu eta urratu zizkioten eskubideen jabe libre bizi dadila.
