Yes to Resistance in Iraq
Yes to Resistance in Palestine
No to Capitalist Globalization
NO U.S. Hegemony


Greetings from Cairo, Egypt

Organizers of the International Campaign Against U.S. and Zionist Occupations view with appreciation the popular international solidarity with the struggles of the Palestinian and Iraqi people, and the unwavering support of the principles and recommended actions of the Cairo Declaration issued by the Campaign at the close of its Cairo Conference of December 2002.


In view of the recent intensification of aggression against Palestine and Iraq, the Campaign organizers deem it important to convene an international meeting for consultation and coordination.

To this end the Egyptian Preparatory Committee has the pleasure of inviting you to the


Second Cairo Conference December 13 and 14, 2003

Egyptian Journalists Syndicate,

under the banner


Yes to Resistance in Iraq & Palestine, No to Capitalist Globalization and U.S. Hegemony

Given
- the danger of recent developments on Iraqi and Palestinian lands, particularly after the U.S. and British occupation of Iraq and the consequent chaos, destruction, and colonial control imposed on Iraq’s people and resources

- the intensification of Zionist aggression/racism against the people of Palestine, occupation of their land, subsidized by U.S. imperialism

- the evident merging of U.S. and Zionist objectives in the form of the imperialist/settler colonial Middle East Project

- the threats to Syria and Iran associated with the U.S. imperial regional strategy

- the spiralling chaos, authoritarianism, and exploitation, as well as the open war against anti-globalization forces, and overall imperial hegemony, to the detriment of the welfare of the peoples of the world



The International Campaign against U.S. and Zionist Occupations finds in these developments serious challenges to anti-imperialist forces, worldwide and regionally. Effectiveness of the global movements confronting the injustices and destructiveness of capitalist globalization requires the formulation of a clear, collective strategy commensurate with the present danger confronting humanity.

This is precisely the reasoning behind the preparation for a second Cairo Conference where discussions will center on three major themes:

* Support of Resistance in Palestine and Iraq.

* Imperialism: Regional/Global Manifestations and Popular Confrontations.

* Popular Arab and International Movements in Solidarity with Resistance: Mechanisms and Challenges.

We are confident that you will do your utmost to attend this important assembly of international activists opposed to capitalist globalization, war, occupation and racism. We are certain that your participation would contribute to the discussions of the major themes of the conference, and formulation of specific strategies in support of the Palestinian and Iraqi resistance, as well as all peoples threatened by imperialist globalization and U.S. hegemony. We look forward to our meeting in Cairo.

Egyptian Preparatory Committee for the Second Cairo Conference
