    In the Nov 9 mobilisation against the war on Iraq in Florence, Italy,
    the Anti-imperialist forces of Italy have decided to participate in a
    separate block. Their main front banner will read:

    Defend Iraq – down with the black list

    They will have a separate anti-imperialist final rally where the
    anti-imperialist forces from around the world can raise their voice.

    We call upon all the anti-imperialist forces to give their support
    comrades-in-arms by endorsing the call, conveying greeting addresses and
    sending delegations.

    ***

    Against the imperialist war, against the black lists!
    The resistance goes on!

    Militant support for the anti-imperialist forces around the world

    The imperialist war launched by the US, which – after Yugoslavia and
    Afghanistan – is directed against the already suffering Iraqi people, has
    become asymmetric, permanent and preventive. It does not only consist
    of massive bombing raids but also of world wide organised repression
    against all those forces mounting resistance against oppression and
    imperialist domination.

    Liberation movements, communist organisations, anti-imperialist forces
    in general as well as individuals have been put on the black list
    requested by Bush and immediately adopted by the European Union. (This has
    been supported by the social-democratic parties who already had driven
    the infamous aggression against Yugoslavia.)

    By calling the liberation movements of the oppressed peoples terrorist
    the US and the EU are trying to legitimise their proscription.
    Criminalizing the popular struggles in Palestine, Kurdistan, Turkey, Colombia,
    Nepal, the Basque county they violate even international law which
    stipulates the legitimacy of resistance against foreign occupation, Zionism
    and fascism.

    In Europe and in Italy with the Berlusconi government allied to the US
    this escalation means a new qualitative step in the attack on the
    living condition of the proletarians (and in hand with lay-offs,
    flexibility, destruction of the welfare state etc.) let alone the racist
    persecution against the immigrants.

    As anti-imperialist organisations we therefore propose the stable and
    organised unity of all the forces fighting against the war of aggression
    on Iraq. Our perspective is a large international front which opposes,
    resists and fights which all the means at its disposal.

    Not a single man, not a single penny, not a single military base for
    war.
    Full support to the Iraqi people, the Palestinian resistance and of the
    peoples fighting against imperialist oppression.
    Against the military and police of the bosses, the black lists, the
    criminalisation of immigrants and social struggles, state repression and
    the manipulative power of the mass media.
    Close US-NATO military bases in Europe and the Middle East!

    The only war acceptable to the peoples is their liberation war!

    On Oct 28 the historic leader of the Philippino revolutionary movement
    was added to the EU's black list, only two days after the Brussels'
    mobilisation calling for the abolition of the list.
