Detta är förljuget. Man kan lätt få intrycket att IBC skulle vara oklara när det gäller skuldfrågan. Det är de inte. Så här skriver de – Hamit Dardagan, Lily Hamourtziadou och John Sloboda – på IBC:s hemsida i januari i år:
”The illegal US-UK led invasion and subsequent brutal military occupation of Iraq provoked intense anti-occupation and anti-government armed struggles, the latter unsurprising given that those governments were sponsored by the occupying powers and seen by many Iraqis as illegitimate. Equally unsurprising is the routine way in which Western powers and Iraqi client governments describe the armed struggle against them as terrorism, whether or not its violence impacts civilians. In doing so, they deflect attention from their role in creating the conditions for the ongoing conflict, and disregard how their own violence and counter-violence could also be experienced as terrorism.”
Den okritiska publiceringen av Ido Vocks intervju med Noam Chomsky är tyvärr typisk. Västerländsk vänster anpassar sig till den nya världsordningen.
