International Appeal

We must break the siege to Gaza!

Let all resistance organizations be recognized
as a belligerent army! Weapons for Palestine!

The Palestinian resistance
deserves victory!
with the struggle of all the masses of occupied Palestine,
the Middle East and the international working class

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

For a month and a half, Zionism has been carrying out a massacre of the Palestinian people with 12,000 dead and one and a half million displaced. This is a lesson to all the Palestinian masses, the Middle East and the world so that they see what awaits them if someone “dares” to attack their occupied territories and their occupying soldiers. in order to recover its firepower, Zionism must show itself as a murderous beast, which all the exploited masses of the region must fear.

The PLO and the Arab bourgeoisies leave the masses of Gaza isolated

Faced with this extermination offensive that Zionism has launched, only Gaza is resisting and not the entire Palestinian masses. This is not because they have not looked numerous ways to fight. They carried out enormous marches to the US and French embassies in Lebanon. They flooded the streets of Amman and burned the Zionist embassy. Their governments and their bourgeoisies stopped them.
Zionism attacks West Bank cities like Nablus or Jenin, which defend themselves as best they can against such a war machine, without the Palestinian Authority lifting a finger. It does not even provide anyone a rifle to confront Zionism, instead, it maintains its collaborationist pact. They do direct their weapons at the Palestinian masses whom it continues to keep imprisoned in its jails. The Jordanian king repressed the marches for Palestine and has made 1,000 prisoners. Hezbollah fires two or three rockets to say it is doing something, while refusing to enter into a total war, preventing the masses of southern Lebanon from marching to break the borders. Al Sisi keeps the border with the Gaza Strip closed…

In the Middle East and in the world, there have been enormous mobilizations for Palestine. Ports (as in the US and Australia), airports (as in Belgium) and weapons factories (as in England) have even been paralyzed. And the Arab bourgeoisies have not fired a single bullet at Zionism!
The Iranian ayatollahs have bragged about being with Palestine, but upon receiving a Hamas leader, they issued a statement saying that Hamas never consulted them or warned them that they were going to attack the state of Israel and therefore they were not going to intervene in the war.
Two summits of Arab and Muslim countries have been held in Saudi Arabia recently, where everyone attended, starting with Abbas of the Palestinian Authority. They only released a statement denouncing Israel's attack, but making it clear that they will not carry out any military intervention against Zionism. Those who have reestablished diplomatic or commercial ties with the state of Israel are not even going to break them.
Al Assad and Putin continue to massacre the Syrian masses of Idlib and the liberated areas, who take to the streets for Palestine despite the bombings. They continue to guard the Golan Heights for Zionism, as in the last 12 years, in which they have drowned the Syrian revolution in blood. And the more they crushed the Syrian masses, the more the Zionism, which today goes for the Palestinian masses, was strengthened.

All the Arab bourgeoisies have agreed on their share in the looting of oil, gas and businesses in the region. They hand over the Palestinian masses for a few coins in their pockets, as they have always done historically.
Although this is not the only issue, the Arab bourgeoisie are also very clear about their interests. These are the ones that their property marks. Because if the entire masses from Palestine and the Middle East entered the struggle of total war against Zionism, not only would they leave no trace of it: they would immediately return to the path of the revolutionary uprisings in the region as in 2011 and also sweep away with all the governments of the Arab bourgeoisies and their businesses. That is why they have all plotted to ensure that Gaza is devastated, and the Palestinian masses massacred.
Gaza has been surrounded, but not only by Zionism, but mainly by the Arab bourgeoisies, first of all by the PLO, which prevents the entire Palestinian masses from entering the fight.

For an international bloc of support for the Palestinian resistance!
We must break the siege to Gaza!

In the last few days, Hamas denounces that the organizations that have been resisting in Gaza are alone and no one has come to their aid or sent them weapons. That is why it is essential to fight to impose on all states in the world to recognize the Palestinian resistance organizations as a belligerent army and send them weapons. Let all unions and labor organizations send weapons and supplies to Gaza.
Weapons for Palestine!
The Palestinian masses are resisting heroically, supported by the mobilization and actions of the international working class that paralyze the war machine of Zionism. But unless the entire Palestinian people of the West Bank, Lebanon and Jordan enter the fight, in the same fight with the masses of the entire Middle East and the central countries, the occupier will not be defeated. On the contrary, an uprising of the entire Palestinian masses would drag all the workers of the region and the planet behind it, giving new impetus to actions in solidarity and the fight against the imperialist and Zionist beast.

A defeat for Palestine would bring a new black night for the working class in the Middle East and worldwide. A triumph for Palestine would mean the destruction of the imperialist enclave, i.e. Zionism, and an enormous boost at the international level for the struggle of the working class.

That is why, we call on the workers and revolutionary organizations that have sided with the Palestinian resistance to form an international bloc for its victory. First of all, we call to this bloc all the organizations that are unconditionally for the triumph of the Palestinian nation in this war for the destruction of the Zionist-fascist State of Israel.
We must break the siege to Gaza! Let's send medicines, supplies and brigades of volunteers to fight together with and alongside the Palestinian resistance!
Let us follow the path shown by the workers from the USA, Australia, Belgium, Catalonia and England of paralyzing the Zionist war machine. Let us continue to take to the streets confronting all the governments and regimes that command, arm, finance and support Zionism! Let the ports and airports be paralyzed! No supplies or weapons shipped for Zionism! All kinds of supplies have to be sent to the Palestinian masses! The war machine of imperialism and Zionism must be paralyzed!

We must expropriate all the oil companies that plunder the Middle East, those that command the Zionist massacre, together with the gas baron Biden! This is how you can confront imperialism, by attacking its property!

Let us adopt the call of the Palestinian unions to the world working class, to march towards a coordination of labor organizations that carry out these actions for the Palestinian masses, including opening the fronts that the Arab bourgeoisie keep closed!

From Gaza, with the authority that Hamas has, it would multiply the combat by a million if a call went out to all the Palestinian masses in the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and the entire Palestinian diaspora to rise up and enter the fight. Let the fronts of all Palestine be opened! As in 2000, we must take over the police stations of the Palestinian Authority that collaborates with the occupier!
This would immediately bring a revolutionary uprising like in 2011 that would sweep away all the Arab bourgeoisies, lackeys and minor partners of imperialism, and recover the oil and gas wealth for the exploited of the region. We must break the borders of Zionism and open all fronts!
From Cairo to Gaza to Beirut to Idlib, from Ramallah and Jerusalem to Baghdad, the same intifada against the same enemy: Zionism, the imperialist oil companies and their lackeys of the local bourgeoisies!
