Palestine - November 8, 2023

Over 30 days of Zionist massacre in Gaza and all of occupied Palestine

Let´s open the fronts throughout
Palestine and the Middle East!

For the destruction of the
Zionist-fascist state of Israel!

For a day of rage and general strike
of the world working class!

Under the command of bloodthirsty Biden, the fascist forces of Zionism enter Gaza.
The fight is already house to house

It has been over a month since a brutal Zionist massacre on Gaza started, which has already left almost 11 thousand dead, hundreds of thousands of internally displaced and a total massacre where Zionism bombed schools, hospitals, homes and demolished refugee camps and full neighborhoods. Now, its fascist troops have entered the north of the strip and are already fighting house to house. A new Nakba is underway in Palestine, as in 1947/48. Zionism seeks to carry out an ethnic cleansing and to occupy under its military control northern Gaza, or the entire strip.
The massacre is not only in Gaza. In the West Bank, Zionism has been carrying out raids, assassinations and arrests of Palestinian fighters. At the time of writing, military clashes are taking place in Nablus, Hebron and Jenin, where the Palestinian masses are confronting the Zionist-fascist state of Israel, left to their fate by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). In the Jenin camps, the Zionist army has already entered with its bulldozers to demolish them. The US and their agent, Zionism, are going for the entire Palestine.
This Zionist offensive is deepening with the open complicity of the Palestinian Authority, which negotiates with its hands full of blood of its people with the bloodthirsty Biden and the fascist Netanyahu. Thus, the bourgeoisie of the West Bank is getting ready to be the administrator of the concentration camps.

Heroic combats and resistance of the Palestinian masses in Gaza, and in Jenin and Nablus in the West Bank.
The masses of the Middle East and the world take to the streets

The fighting in northern Gaza is already house to house, face to face. It has become a battle of the entire international working class. Zionism will be defeated with the workers of the whole world on war footing against Zionism and the imperialism that sustains it.
The struggle of the working class of the US and Europe to stop the genocide has begun. The ports have already been occupied stopping the shipment of arms for Zionism on the Pacific coast of the US, in Belgium and Barcelona. Weapons factories in England were stopped.
It is not the might of the Zionist army that allows it to advance militarily and is already encircling the north of the Gaza Strip, but it is the betrayal of the national liberation struggle of the Palestinian nation by the Palestinian and Arab bourgeoisies of the entire Maghreb and Middle East.
The masses want to fight. They are eager to enter the combat in the West Bank and to break the limits imposed on them by the Palestinian Authority, and also by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and by King Abdullah II in Jordan.
The Yemeni masses are in a state of revolt in support of their Palestinian siblings. Millions have taken to the streets in Iraq, reminding the murderous US that they will have to flee, as the did in Baghdad. In the liberated territories of rebel Syria, the masses have also taken to the streets, despite the bombings of the fascist Al Assad and Putin, who take good care of the Golan Heights for Zionism.
The international working class is already standing in this enormous gesture of the Palestinian masses against the massacre and their unheard-of sufferings.

The Palestinian trade unions have called on the world working class to boycott the Histadrut. This call was taken up by dozens of workers' organizations in the world. This is the way! To expel this fascist trade union centre of the arch-reactionary Zionist working class, whose fate and privileges have long been tied to the victory of the state of Israel and the crushing of the Palestinian working class, real outcasts in their own land and slave labourers of capital in the whole region. On this, we call the reader to look at the appeal of the Palestinian trade unions to the international working class.

The cowardice and servility of the Arab bourgeoisies and the Iranian theocracy before imperialism and the Zionist occupier

Imperialism needs to reposition Zionism with firepower to act again as a gendarme for the imperialist oil companies and all their business in the region.
The massacre of the Palestinian people is a decisive step on this road, which, if successful, will allow imperialism to strike a blow from the right against all the Arab masses in the opposite direction to that struck by the exploited in successive revolutionary waves in 2008 (after the US defeat in Iraq) and in 2011 in the whole of the Maghreb and the Middle East. We give an account of this in an article of this International Workers' Organiser entitled "The attack on Gaza and the Palestinian nation: Imperialism seeks to strike strategic blows to recompose its hegemony in the world economy and politics."

The Palestinian bourgeoisie of Hamas, which controls Gaza, beyond the heroism of its fighters, is only now calling for the fighters of the camps in the West Bank, which are already being massacred by Zionism, to enter the struggle in an unsynchronized way. Meanwhile, its leadership is meeting in Egypt with the Al Sisi dictatorship, perhaps getting a place to locate the new diaspora in that country after Zionism's massacre in Gaza. It is not the time for withdrawal but to prepare a new mass counter-offensive, opening the fronts in all the territories of occupied Palestine and the Middle East.
The Jordanian bourgeoisie is the slaver of the Palestinian people par excellence, who are used as slave labour in the whole region. Hezbollah controls the Palestinian children and grandchildren massacred in Sabra and Shatila so that they do not enter the combat against the state of Israel as they did in 2006.
The Palestinian bourgeoisie, the Iranian theocracy and Hezbollah in Lebanon know perfectly well that if the fronts are opened and all the Palestinian masses from Jordan and the West Bank, from Lebanon, Gaza, Egypt and Jerusalem enter the combat, this would mean the beginning of a new revolutionary offensive of the Palestinian masses. This would quickly act as an electric shock throughout the Middle East to raise the masses in revolts greater than those that took place 11 or 12 years ago, against imperialism and its murderous regimes such as Iraq, Syria (seated on the bayonets of Putin and Al Assad), Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt... All junior partners of imperialism in the region.
The Arab bourgeoisies get slice of the oil revenue and a large part of this surplus of their exports they invest in the cities of London, Europe and Wall Street. They have their profits tied to imperialism and will never break with it or confront it. What they fear is the revolted masses.

The task of the revolutionary socialists: to be in the front line of the Palestinian national liberation war against the Zionist occupants, what does not mean giving political support to the bourgeoisie

We do not put an equal sign between the heroic Palestinian resistance fighters and their organisations, and the Zionist invaders of their nation, as the whole reformist left and the traitors to revolutionary Marxism have done so, sending condolences to fascist settlers armed to the teeth occupying Palestinian land.
Politically, we affirm that the war of national liberation, the conquest of a free, secular and democratic Palestine from the Jordan River to the sea, can only be fully guaranteed by the Palestinian working and peasant masses, supported by the working class in the region and internationally.
However, one has to be blind and a lackey of Zionism not to see that it is Hamas and the partisan organisations that are entering the fray throughout Palestine on a daily basis that are leading this just war of national liberation. It is the duty of the revolutionaries to be in the front line of this combat, to clearly define their trench, to fight for the recognition of all the organisations that defend the Palestinian nation against the Zionist-fascist beast that occupies it under the US command as a belligerent army. Only in this way will the revolutionaries be able to fight and convince to take the political leadership of the war, maintaining their political and organisational independence.
The new social-imperialism, which has emerged from the entrails of the renegades of Trotskyism, falsifies the Marxist position on the war of national oppression. They use the "imperative need to maintain political and organizational independence from the bourgeoisie in the war" to hide the fact that they shy away from combat, since maintaining political and organisational independence must be done by positioning oneself in the combat of a just national war, whoever leads it in the beginning.
This was the revolutionary programme of Marxism in the 19th and 20th centuries. In contrast, the new social-imperialism plays hide-and-seek in a pool of blood of the exploited masses. They do so because in reality they act as the left wing of the occupying troops, which places them as pacifists, closely linked to the Arab bourgeoisies who deny any military aid to the heroic struggle of the masses, while the US and imperialist Europe fill the war arsenals of the fascists and Zionism with weapons.
If the world proletariat has stood up to paralyse the imperialist and Zionist war machine, our war cry is "Disarm Zionism!" "Arms for Palestine!".
This we developed in the statement we issued on October 8, the day after the Zionist invasion of Gaza.

In this International Workers' Organizer, in its various articles, we give an account of the Marxist position on the Palestinian question. We respond in them to the cynical policy of "condolences" that the reformist left has been giving to the murderers of the Palestinian people, as if that nation were occupied by "peaceful settlers" and not by fascist gangs that remove the Palestinian people from their lands and their cities with their bulldozers and at gunpoint.
What the FIT-U of Argentina and all the so-called "anti-capitalist" currents of the left have done with their "condolences" to the "civilian victims" is to enter into an "anti-terrorist front" with which imperialism justifies, under the excuse of "defeating the terrorism of Hamasm," invading Gaza and expelling the Palestinian people by ethnic cleansing in the region. As we have already said, the second Nakba has begun, and as in 1947/48, the traitors of the reformist left are with imperialism and Zionism.
That is what the pact of Stalin and the CPs with the US and world imperialism was all about, legalizing the existence of a state of Israel over the ruin, massacre and expulsion of the Palestinian nation. Back then and now, they talked about "peaceful settlers" who organize "collective farms," "socialist kibbutz," covering up the biggest colonizers of the Palestinian nation. Today, as yesterday, they call for "unity with the Jewish working class," when the latter, as we have already said, has its privileges tied to the fate of the existence of Zionism…
We explained this question at length in this International Workers' Organizer in an article entitled "The Palestinian current Al-Yudur is right," about a polemic carried out by this movement against the reformist left of the Spanish State.

A revolutionary program must be conquered so that the Palestinian people, together with the international working class, can defeat the Zionist-fascist state of Israel and the imperialism that sustains it

LET´S OPEN THE FRONTS OF THE TORMENTED PALESTINE!
This would be a decisive step towards the uprising of all the masses in Iraq, Syria, Iran and the whole Middle East....
From the refugee camps and trade unions, from the Palestinian militias, universities and schools, a Palestinian National Assembly of the occupied territories and the diaspora in the neighbouring countries must be set up immediately, with one representative every 10.000 inhabitants, which will take in its hands the political and military struggle of expelling expulsion of the Zionist occupier and which will conquer a free, secular, democratic and non-racist Palestine; declaring the occupied homes and territories as people’s property; expelling transnationals and Zionist capital associated with the US, and expropriating it without payment under the control of the workers and the poor people.
For the nationalization without compensation and under workers' control of the gas and its reserves just a few miles off the coast of Gaza, currently plundered by the Biden-Netanyahu gang!
This anti-imperialist fight for the great gas reserves of Palestine is an inseparable part of the fight of the entire working class of the Maghreb and Middle East for the expropriation of the imperialist oil majors without compensation, which plunder the wealth of the oppressed peoples of the whole region and plunge them into hunger, misery, under counter-revolutionary governments and regimes and occupying troops.
Only a provisional revolutionary workers and peasants' revolutionary government, supported by the armed Palestinian masses and the uprising of the international working class, will be able to carry this struggle to victory.

It is high time that the subjugation of the working class of the Middle East to the Arab and theocratic bourgeoisies who are handing over the martyred Palestinian people of Gaza for pennies was put to an end!
Open the road for the workers and peasants of the whole Middle East and the whole world!

For a day of rage all over the world!
For an international general strike hitting capitalists and imperialism where it hurts, their profits!

Let’s stop the martyrdom of Gaza and the whole of Palestine now!
MAY THE WORLD STOP!
As the Palestinian trade unions demand, stop the ports, the planes, the factories, the schools, the universities, the public buildings! Stop the harvesting of dates and olives!
LET`S STOP THE OIL AND GAS PIPELINES!
LET`S STOP THE OIL WELLS!

NOW, MAY THEIRS FALL, THE ZIONISTS AND THEIR BOSSES, THE US AND THE MURDERER BIDEN AND THE PARTNER MACRON AND THEIR PIRATE GANGS!

It's time for civil war! Let`s open the fronts!
Workers make the weapons; they transport and use them in the armies to die for their masters. The masses, when they are aware of it, know how to reach the arms and disarm Zionism as the dock workers of Europe do.
From the West Bank to Haman, from Beirut to Tahrir Square, arms to the Palestinian people!
Revolutionary strike in the world!
Brigades and arms to fight and break the siege of Gaza!

The workers of the US must encircle the 8 blocks of Wall Street and not let in or out any CEO, manager or shareholder of that rotten and murderous financial oligarchy that organizes the massacres in Palestine today, as yesterday in Syria.
Against the siege of Gaza, let's occupy Wall Street like in 2011!

BLACK LIVES MATTER! THE LIVES OF THE PALESTINIAN MASSES MATTER TOO!
THE WORKING CLASS IN THE US AND EUROPE HAVE THE CHANCE OF STOPPING THE ONGOING MASSACRE IN PALESTINE AND THE WHOLE MIDDLE EAST IN THEIR HANDS!
As in Iraq or Vietnam yesterday...
Before it is too late and Wall Street goes for a Nakba against the workers of the US and the whole world.
