Dear Friends,
The ultra-right on Capitol Hill, hand-in-hand with members
of the Honduran oligarchy and military, have been besieging
Congress with demands that the U.S. back off its stated
support for the restoration of Manuel Zelaya to the
presidency of Honduras. This needs to be aggressively
countered.

The Communist Party of the USA expresses its outrage at
Israels invasion of Gaza, carried out in defiance of world
public opinion. The entry of ground troops into Gaza at a
time when the United Nations and many others were working
toward a cease-fire and a return to negotiations is arrogant
and irresponsible. It will cause many more deaths and
injuries and untold destruction of the essential
infrastructure of a community already devastated by economic
blockade. It is an illegal action and a major threat to
regional and world peace, and carries a grave danger of
setting off a wider war. The Israeli government justifies
the invasion as necessary to stop Hamas rocket attacks.
Although we condemn those attacks, we believe that by its
actions Israel is pursuing more far-reaching aims in the
region than stated by its representatives. The attacks by
Hamas could be quickly ended in the context of a cease-fire.
Launching a ground offensive into Gaza is also designed to
box in the Obama administration and new Congress and prevent
them from changing US policy vis--vis this conflict. We
repudiate the outrageous speech made by President Bush
yesterday, which gave a green light to a new Israeli
escalation of the conflict. With this act, Bush leaves an
even uglier legacy to our country and the world. We also
strongly condemn the attempt by the US delegation to the UN
to block the Security Council from taking action to stop the
invasion. We repeat our call for an immediate cease-fire to
be strictly monitored by the UN and other international
organizations. It should include the complete withdrawal of
Israeli troops as well as an end to the bombing of Gaza and
a cessation of the rocket attacks into Israel. It is urgent
that Gaza be open immediately to receive food, medicine and
other humanitarian aid, and that Israel end its economic
blockade. There is no military solution to the
Palestine-Israel conflict. We call for an immediate return
to negotiations for a peaceful solution based on the
two-state concept, which will address the national
aspirations of the Palestinian people as well as the
security interests of both the Palestinian and Israeli
peoples. We hope that as soon as President Obama takes
office, he will pursue a new policy in the Middle East that
contributes to peace, justice and stability in that region.
Finally, we urge the American people to add their voices to
the millions worldwide protesting the invasion and calling
for a cease-fire on both sides and for a just peace.
