پیام حمایت نوم چامسکی به کارزار دستها از ایران کوتاهمطالعاتی که در آمریکا انجام شده نشان میدهند که اختلافات و در گیری های آمریکا و ایران نه تنها قابل حل و فصل هستند، بلکه میتوانند پایان پذیرند مشروط بر اینکه هردو کشور دارای مناسبات دمکراتیک بوده و ارای عمومی نقش تعین کننده در سیاست های آنان داشته باشد. اکثریت مردم هردو کشور بر این باور هستند که ایران حق دارد که از امکانات نیروی هسته ای و نه سلاح های اتمی برخوردار باشد؛ که تمام منطقه خاور میانه از ایران گرفته تا اسرائیل میباید عاری از سلاح های اتمی باشد؛ که تمام کشور ها بایستی به تعهدات خود در مقابل پیمان خلع سلاح های اتمی پایبند باشند و بالاخره انکه ایالات متحده بایستی دست از اعمال فشار علیه ایران بردارد و برای عادی کردن مناسبات خود با ایران بکوشد.ما

Hands Off the People of Iran
campaign speaks for the entirety of the antiwar campaign around the
globe, standing firmly against US-led warmongering in violation of all
international laws and acceptable norms of behaviour. No one more
than the people of Iran are aware of the abuse of power by the
degenerate theocracy that rules over their destiny, and no one other
than they is chiefly and solely responsible to alter their condition
and continue their historic struggles for democracy and social
justice. The Iranian working class, heroic women activists,
enduring student organizations, professional guilds, and various
political formations are the sole agents of their own history and their
epic struggles to sustain their pride of place and dignity of communal
well-being. As painfully evident in the cases
of Afghanistan and Iraq, the US-led invasion of Iran cannot bring about
anything but heaping more misery upon folly and further delay and
exacerbate the desperate conditions under which Iranians are fighting
against domestic tyranny and globalised imperialism alike.
In solidarity, To the Hopi conference attendees: I
extend my greetings from across the Atlantic to all those in
attendance. This conference is not only important to those
opposing imperial war threats against Iran, but is essential to the
movement pursuing a democratic and just government for all
Iranians. May your work bear substantial fruit.
I wish you a successful conference. In
1953, I was not yet 20, when we are out in streets of Calcutta ,
shouting 'Hands off Iran'. So long as the Imperial powers need oil they
will continue to make troubles in that part of the world. I regret that
we in the left are so much involved in faction feuds that we fail to
fight against the common enemy. In Iran in 1953 the left could have
united with liberals and the nationalists to defeat the Imperialists
and later the anti -Imperialist movement went in the hands of the
religious right. We should look at our own position and struggle for
liberation and peace. For without peace there is no of liberation,
equally there no liberation without peace. We need both and stop
terrorism, including state terrorism and that of the religious right. The Republican Communist Network (Scotland) sends solidarity greetings to Hands Off the People of Iran conference. We recognise the importance of uniting the 2 key demands of HOPI:
Together, these demands lay the basis of genuine and principled internationalism, combining anti-imperialism with international working class solidarity. In contrast, there are some in the anti-war movement who believe in a one dimensional ‘internationalism’ where the enemy of US or British imperialism is automatically given unconditional support, no matter what their political record and their reactionary nature. Furthermore, in contrast to the party-front organisations which characterise so much of the Left, we look forward to a campaign set up on sound democratic principles. We wish the conference every success and apologise for not being able to attend, but look forward to receiving a report. Following our success in getting the Scottish Socialist Party to support HOPI at its recent conference, we in the RCN are committed to continuing to promote HOPI and to encourage SSP members to become more active in the campaign. No to imperialist war! Republican Communist Network (Scotland) To our Friends at Hands off
People of Iran (HOPI) We believe that the Bush administration and its allies in the US and Europe are considering regime change from above. At the same time, the Islamic regime in power in Iran has used the pretext of foreign interventions to increase repression and deploy its security apparatus against its political opponents, among them, workers, women and students movements. In our view, all progressive activists inside and outside of Iran should oppose any sanctions, or any outside actions and interventions; militarily or politically; because they are inhumane and would, adversely affect struggles of the Iranian emancipatory movement against the present rulers in Iran. The main victims of any action, be it sanctions or war, will be the ordinary people in Iran, who en mass, are opposed to the current regime and many of whom have been involved in social and political struggles against it. We also believe that the solidarity of the anti war movement should also be in support of the daily struggles of Iranian women and workers, in particular for the right to live freely and survive respectively. We, strongly support the national self-determination rights of the Iranian people and their struggles against the corporate driven imperialist aggressions, as well as the reactionary/theocratic Islamic Regime in Iran. We support you in your undertaking in building a genuine solidarity campaign with the Iranian people against the US Imperialists and the current reactionary regime of Iran. In Solidarity Please email us messages of solidarity to the conference if you cannot be there. |

As US-run studies have shown, US-Iran
conflicts could be mitigated, probably ended, if the US and Iran were
functioning democratic societies, in which popular opinion played a
significant role in policy. By very large majorities, the people
of both countries agree that Iran has a right to nuclear power but not
nuclear energy; that
I am sorry I am unable
to attend today's important conference because I am speaking at an LRC
meeting in Liverpool today. I wish to send a message of support and
solidarity to today's HOPI conference. This conference comes at a time
when the Bush regime is clearly calculating whether in its final months
in office it is capable of getting away with the launching a physical
attack on Iran. The same processes are being followed as in the
preparatory period in the run up to the invasion of Iraq. The same
propaganda tools are being deployed and the same attempts to draw
others into an aggressive military coalition. It is critical therefore
that we stand forward and together in opposing any attack on the people
of Iran. HOPI is playing an important role in mobilising this
resistance to war against Iran and therefore has my support. I wish you
a successful conference. Solidarity,
Best wishes for a successful conference. I
welcome the campaigning activity of Hands of the People of Iran (HOPI).
I strongly oppose any western military action against Iran which would
inevitably kill innocent civilians. 
My friends: You are part of
the "blessed unrest", the assemblage of small organisations who make up
what is becoming a tsunami of action and changing the conscience of the
world. 'The blessed unrest': a surge of hope and energy and political
responsibility. All of us who work like this are grateful for each
other ... so I am thanking you for your dedication. You are
launching a vital cause onto the sea of
I have never
understood how people who consider themselves socialist, communist,
anarchist or whatever can have any truck with religion - especially
religious fundamentalism. Bigotry is wrong wherever it comes from and
whatever the skin colour of those spouting it! Furthermore, I entirely
reject the crapheaded philosophy of 'the enemy of my enemy is my
friend' - if the enemy of my enemy denies women basic rights,
brutalises gays and locks up/imprisons/tortures/kills radical leftists
(including, I fear, two people I knew personally many years ago) the
enemy of my enemy is most definitely my enemy as well, and I don't care
how much it hates George Bush! Simple as that. Such alliances vary from
the very dodgy to the downright offensive. The BNP opposes US foreign
policy too......
It's vital for the anti-war
movement is organised and ready to fight a campaign to defend the
people of Iran. The increasing belligerence from neo-con politicians
should alarm those of us who are aware of the potential disastrous
consequences of an attack on Iran. I send solidarity to the conference
from Plaid Cymru and I look forward to working with HOPI in the future.
I will be in Accra, but please pass on my
greeting to all who support a secular, free and democratic Iran where
human rights will be respected and one of the world's greatest cultures
be able again to flourish.
We must never forget that it was the
collective silence from voices of dissent that enabled George W. Bush
to illegally invade Iraq. It is not only our responsibility, but our
duty as "global patriots" to never again remain silent.
I would
like to add my
voice to this extraordinary gathering of antiwar activists in London
expressing our outrage against the possibility of yet another war
initiated by the predatory imperialism that has already caused the
death of millions of innocent people and the creation of even more
millions of refugees in Afghanistan and Iraq, effectively wiping out
the moral and material infrastructures of two nation-states.
I support the people of Iran and
all others in region in their struggle for freedom from repressive
homeland rule and most important the kind of imperial interference my
country specializes in. With 14 months left in the Bush admin they've
got plenty of time left to vaporize Iran and end the republic if that's
their plan. I fear both but rate war with Iran 50 - 50 and a greater
chance for something ugly here after another phony terror attack. At
the same time, I have no doubt Iraqis and Afghans will one day defeat
us in the two wars my country has already lost but won't admit it
publicly. Attacking Iran will just make a hopeless situation
cataclysmic by inflaming the entire Muslim world against us if it
already isn't.
The looming
US-Israel assault on Iran stands to be the greatest calamity since the
Second World War, and reveals the modern militarized state at its most
deranged. Every day, then, we need the sanity and courage of groups
like the "Hands Off the People of Iran" campaign. The hopes of all
humanity are with you.
It is critical that a U.S. attack on Iran be
prevented. People must mobilize and make their voices loud and clear
that such an act of aggression is unacceptable.
I send my support to the Hopi
conference and regret that I am unable to attend. I appreciate
and support Hopi's recognition that there is an urgent need to
establish a principled solidarity campaign with the people of Iran. No
to a war on Iran!
Greetings
to the December 8th Hands Off the People of Iran Conference. The people
of Iran have several enemies at home and abroad, but they can defeat
all of them. The government of Iran is loathed at home and around the
world for its oppression of women, gays, followers of the Bahai faith,
hashish-smokers, leftists and other secularists, and Kurds and other
nationalities seeking independence from the regime.
