Down with the Yankee–zionist genocide against Palestine!

The genocide carried out by the U.S. and Israel, with the support of the European Union, Russia, China, and the rest of the world’s bourgeois governments, continues its march, seemingly destined for the total extermination of the native population of the historical territory of Palestine. This is how imperialism works: it needs Israel as the greatest U.S. military base in the Middle East, where its “citizens” are active soldiers and reservists trained to kill children, pregnant women, and elderly proletarians who speak Arabic.

Now, this does not mean politically supporting or glorifying the military tactics of Hamas, which at this very moment is being questioned by its own voters, fed up with the privileges of its major businesses and corrupt officials. Its action on October 7, 2023, will surely go down as one of the most foolish interventions in military history, whose results are evident to all today. Exchanging a few prisoners with Israel when you have more than 150,000 dead and millions displaced dying of hunger is absurd.

What the false socialists who drag themselves behind the military policy of the native bourgeoisies do not say is that Hamas never really sought to destroy the State of Israel; otherwise, it would have supported the Palestinian people’s Intifadas instead of disarming them. Even now it is seeking a way to negotiate an exit with Israel, after making a pact with Fatah. All that reactionary Islamist discourse about “exterminating all Jewish believers” is in reality mere rhetoric for the gullible. Tell the whole truth, reformists: Hamas’s action was meant to cover up decades of capitulation to Zionism! Down with social-jihadism—socialism in words, jihadism in deeds!

Evidently, a military front with Hamas against Israel and the powers that sustain it is necessary, but at the same time systematic criticism of its military action is indispensable, for only thus can the ground be prepared for its revolutionary overthrow—an overthrow that may occur even before the fall of the State of Israel, but even if it comes after, only the dictatorship of the proletariat can ensure the definitive defeat of Zionism. And in Palestine, such a dictatorship can only be sustained by the world socialist revolution, which must reach the metropoles that today finance Israel.

This is not a task for the distant future; it is a call to action in the present. Starting now, workers’ organizations across the world must mobilize—blocking the ports that send weapons to Israel, freeing anti-Zionist political prisoners, sending resources, weapons, and volunteers to the Palestinian resistance, but above all fighting to overthrow their own imperialist governments, for only in this way can the war machine of the parasites of Wall Street be halted—parasites who indeed want to vacation in a cemetery of dismembered children.

FOR A FREE PALESTINE FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA!

FOR THE WORLD SOCIALIST REVOLUTION!

FOR THE REFOUNDING OF THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL!
