Iraqi Oil Workers solidarity statement posted by bat020
From the General Union of Oil Employees in Basra:We and all peaceful and free people of the world have been following with great attention the American and Zionist aggression against Lebanon for more than two weeks now. This is despite the sadness and pain that this compounds in our hearts as a result of the total destruction and the killing of innocent people, and the displacement and dispossession that our brothers in Lebanon are exposed to in these days.
At the same time, we are proud of the wonderful steadfastness and resilience of the Lebanese people and the Islamic resistance confronting the Zionist barbaric aggression - achieving more and more victories against the Zionist occupation forces.
The most painful to the heart is the degrading positions adopted by Arab countries which have affirmed to all that they are agents of America and Israel.
This is in contradiction to the Iraqi people who forgot their injuries and killing due to the terrorist operations affecting them in addition to the occupation forces, so much so that they got out into the streets and demonstrated in solidarity with their brothers in Lebanon and collected contributions to support them .
We in the General Union of Oil Employees are painfully following this brutal aggression. We announce our protest against these criminal and barbaric actions that Zionist aggression has perpetrated against our brothers in Lebanon and at the same time we appeal to all the honorable and free people of the world to demonstrate and protest about what is happening to Lebanon. We also urge our people in Basra to help their brothers in Lebanon and support the brave Islamic resistance there.
We denounce the coward and degrading positions adopted by some Arab countries and we declare our solidarity with the Lebanese people and Islamic resistance and we are proudly greeting them and God with you.
