(en) The French Anarchist-syndicalist CNT Workers’ Union Joins BDS Campaign

Date Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:52:23 +0200



Through the intermediary of its international Secretary, the National Work Confederation
(Confédération Nationale du Travail or CNT), a French anti-capitalist internationalist
union involved in social class struggles, has joined the campaign labelled “Boycott,
Disinvestmant and Sanction against the State of Israel”, an international campaign
launched by more than 170 grassroot Palestinian organizations, including our partnering
independent Palestinian independent unions. ---- Our union confederation will take an
active part in the initiatives organized in France. The CNT’s international secretary is
also inviting every union and federation within our confederation to sign this campaign
individually and to take concrete actions in their own field of activities (education,
social work, health, culture, trade, media…) and in their various regions.

The commitment of the CNT to support the Palestinian people over many years has led
us naturally to join this vital campaign to end the exploitation and occupation by Israel.
A special group within the international secretary has been working on Palestinian issues
since 2001. Thanks to them, we have been able to establish many contacts in Palestine with
autonomous unions and grassroot organizations that are fighting the occupation.

Our joining this “Boycott, Disinvestment and Sanction” (BDS) campaign is coherent
with our solidarity with Palestine, defined by our statement of support of the Palestinian
people’s struggle, adopted by the CNT during its 2006 congress. This statement is the
expression of the anti-colonial and internationalist principles of our union.

It confirms our opposition to all forms of colonization and occupation as well as our
solidarity with the oppressed against the oppressor.

As it was done in the case of South Africa, this initiative aims at weighing through
economic means and the media on the state of Israel until the unpunished oppression of the
Palestinian people and the denial of their fundamental rights end.

DO NOT FINANCE THE OCCUPATION AND THE COLONIZATION OF PALESTINE : OUR RESPONSE,
INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY BETWEEN WORKERS !
