December 12: International Day of the Persecuted Workers

Greetings from the JRCL-RMF of Japan to the condemned oil workers of Las Heras (Argentina) and their fight for the Palestinian prisoners

Message to comrades of Las Heras

Dear comrades,

We, revolutionary Marxists in Japan, are sending our warmest message of solidarity to you on the occasion of the International Day of the Persecuted Workers.

Together with you, we here denounce in the strongest terms the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza by the Benjamin Netanyahu-led Israeli regime. Even as we speak, Zionist rulers are continuing their ferocious attacks on Gaza with intent to destroy the whole area of the Gaza Strip and annihilate Palestinians who are trying to resist the Israeli occupation and rule. Never let these atrocities be kept going! Condemn the Joe Biden-led US administration, an accomplice in the crime!
The Japanese Communist Party slanders the armed resistance of Hamas and Palestinians as 'violence' by putting it in the same category with the act of brutality of Israeli forces. By heaping abuses on the battle of Palestinians, they take a hostile attitude towards their struggle for the liberation of Palestine. While criticizing the JCP, we are promoting struggles against the Israeli atrocities in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

At the same time, we should further strengthen our struggle against the heinous war of aggression conducted by the Russian ruler Vladimir Putin against Ukraine. With another winter just around the corner, this 'offspring of Stalin' has started targeting energy-related facilities and urban infrastructures in Ukraine. He is intent on throwing Ukrainians out into the biting cold. Putin himself has been conducting massacres as atrocious and heinous as those committed by the Netanyahu regime in Gaza. Notwithstanding this, he impudently condemns the Israeli and US brutalities, with an air of nonchalance about his own grave historic crime. US and European governments are now moving to cut their aid to Ukraine under the pretext of Israel's launch of murderous attacks on Gaza. Gloating over this move, Putin is stepping up offensives to incorporate Ukraine into the Russian Federation. This is exactly what Putin the Russian emperor is doing now!
Working people all over the world must never allow this brutality of the Great Russian chauvinist who does not recognize the existence of Ukraine which is not Russia's vassal state. With rising indignation against Putin's war, build up the Ukraine antiwar struggle further!

Comrades!
Everywhere in the world, we are witnessing Hitlers of the 21st century being rampant, trampling down people under fascism and tyranny, and abusing repression and oppression. Throughout your struggle that has lasted for ten years, you have created, spread and strengthened solidarity among workers and toiling people who resolutely protest against oppression in Argentina, in South American countries, and in the world over. We will surely continue to fight together with you, in solidarity with you all.
