Palestine - January 8, 2024

Under US command,

Zionism deepens its genocide in Gaza
and all of Palestine

Biden and Netanyahu war criminals!

For an international committee of worker and anti-imperialist organizations, headed by the Palestinian unions
to break the siege of Gaza and the whole martyred Palestine to raise funds, medicines and supplies for the masses and the heroic resistance!

For the victory of the Palestinian resistance! For the defeat of the Zionist-fascist State of Israel!

Palestine Free from the Jordan River to the sea!

For the recognition of Palestinian resistance
organizations as belligerent forces!

For an international general strike to stop
the holocaust of the Palestinian people!

It's been 3 months since a brutal massacre and Zionist extermination offensive started on the Palestinian people, commanded by Biden and US imperialism. It’s been up to now 29,438 dead and missing under the rubble, mostly women and children. Gaza is devastated. Hospitals, mosques, schools, houses, ambulances have been targets of bombings and raids by the Zionist army. A new Nakba, a new ethnic cleansing that seeks to erase Palestine from the map. Biden and Netanyahu are war criminals! We must stop the Palestinian holocaust!

A defeat of the Palestinian masses would mean a defeat and a new dark night for the working class throughout the Middle East and worldwide. On the other hand, a triumph of the Palestinian resistance would mean the destruction of the Zionist-fascist State of Israel and a strategic defeat for imperialism. A large part of the future of the world working class is at stake in Palestine!
Internationally, millions have taken to the streets in support of the Palestinian masses and to stop the genocide. Ships, ports, airports and factories arming Israel have been stopped. But to stop the massacre and win the war against Zionism, it is necessary to climb another step and attack the heart of imperialism that finances and supplies it.

Let the Palestinian resistance be recognized as a belligerent army and weapons sent to it!
The ambassadors of Zionism must be expelled from all countries in the world!

In this ongoing war in Palestine, it is essential to supply the resistance with weapons and isolate the Zionist occupier. For this reason, we must fight to impose the expulsion of all Zionist ambassadors and to recognize Hamas and the Palestinian resistance organizations as a belligerent army to send them weapons, as established by the UN Geneva Conventions. We are facing a war of national liberation of the Palestinian nation, fighting against the Zionist-fascist occupier.

For an international general strike to stop the genocide in Palestine!

The unions and labor organizations of the world have in their hands the possibility of defeating US imperialism (which is concentrating its attack together with its executioner, Zionism, in Palestine and the entire Middle East) hitting where it hurts: in their profits, in their pockets. For an international general strike for the seccess of the Palestinian resistance! Stop the ports, airports, oil wells of the oil companies that plunder the Middle East, and all the production and tradung of the imperialist companies and their banks that finance and support Zionism! We must take Wall Street, the siete of the parasites that plunder the whole world! Let the Million March Against War get back on its feet! Black lives matter, and Palestinian lives matter too! We must break with the Histadrut, the workers-management center of the Zionist settlers, the bastion of the occupation!
For this reason, from the International Workers Organizer we endorse and promote the program of the Palestinian unions and the call of the Italian union SiCobas for an international general strike, which are a starting point for this strike that the workers and people of martyred Gaza need.
The Palestinian masses have imposed the general strike on December 11 and January 3 where they paralyzed the West Bank, Jordan and Lebanon, unifying the entire Palestinian people. This unity is key so that Gaza is not isolated and to set up a single Revolutionary Fighting Command of the entire Palestinian people to crush Zionism, and for this we must put an end to the collaborationist bourgeoisie of the PLO that surrounds and isolates Gaza. In this sense, we vindicate the joint declaration of the Palestinian resistance organizations of Beirut of December 28, which goes in this direction and calls for the destruction of Israel and for free and democratic elections throughout the Palestinian nation.

The struggle of the Palestinian people is the same as of all the exploited in the Middle East, to free ourselves from the yoke and plunder of imperialism and its lackey regimes. The Arab bourgeoisies have put a siege to the Palestinian masses and guard the borders of Zionism. This is what the king of Jordan does, and also Al Sisi in Egypt and al-Assad with the Golan Heights in Syria, who together with Putin are meanwhile directing their bombs not against Zionism, but against the exploited of Idlib who continue to take to the streets for Palestine. More than 12 years of massacre by al-Assad and Putin in Syria with 600,000 murdered, devastated cities and millions and millions of refugees and displaced people, and the result: Zionism is strengthening and massacring the Palestinian masses.

We must follow the example of Yemen, which attacks imperialist property by kidnapping and sinking its ships that trade through the Red Sea (a key global trade route) and sending weapons and brigades to fight alongside Palestine. We must fight like it was done yesterday in Syria, Tunisia, Egypt, Iraq, etc. and let a new 2011 return, this time a victorious one!

For an international committee of worker and anti-imperialist organizations for the triumph of the Palestinian resistance!

To fight for this perspective, we must set up an International Strike Committee of support for Palestine, from the unions and worker organizations, to carry out a fundraising campaign of one day's work pay per worker, and from there to take a convoy with these funds and medications, supplies, weapons and volunteers to break the siege to Gaza and fight alongside the resistance for the defeat of the Zionist-fascist state of Israel and the end of the occupation throughout the Palestinian territory.

Demonstartions for Palestine are taking place in different countries around the world these days. An international day is being prepared for January 13. Unions such as the struggling automakers of the UAW of USA (which also call to break with the Histadrut), the CGT of Catalonia, the NUM (miners' union) of South Africa and Belgian unions have already spoken out for the Palestinian people, and even called to the international general strike like SiCobas.

There is nothing that prevents us from setting up an international plenary session of support for the Palestinian nation to stop the genocide of Zionism, and from calling the big trade unions led by the left that claim to support Palestine such as Conlutas (from Brazil) and Solidaires (of France) to join the fight. A call from NUMSA (metalworking union) of South Africa for these purposes would be enough for international coordination for Palestine to become a reality. Either we, the international working class, take a step forward, or a new genocide will be imposed, as in Syria yesterday, and a defeat will weigh on the shoulders of the workers of the world.

For the destruction of the Zionist-fascist State of Israel!
For a free Palestine from the river to the sea, with its capital in Jerusalem!
Weapons for Palestine! For the triumph of the Palestinian resistance!

For an International Committee of Worker Organizations to carry out an international general strike and a fundraising campaign to send aid, medicine, supplies and volunteers to go fight alongside the Palestinian masses!
