A struggle for Palestinian national liberation is bound with a need for more fundamental revolutionary change. The Israeli State is part of the system of capitalism and imperialism that dominates and exploits the peoples of the Middle East and beyond – a system built on racism, exploitation, poverty and oppression. Its whole rule must be torn down.
The destruction of the Israeli Apartheid state is not just the responsibility of the workers of West Asia, it is even more the responsibility of workers in the imperialist powers which have established, supported and armed Israel to defend their plunder of the region. Unless workers’ organisations fight for Palestinian liberation they will be unable to fight effectively for the genuine liberation of their own members.
In Gaza itself, there’s been the whole charade with the airdrops. I think they dropped about 2000 food parcels. This is about 0.4% of what was needed in the time that they dropped them. The minimum Gaza needs is about 600 trucks per day, and what they dropped was equivalent to 200 trucks, not in a day but over two weeks. So the lives of Palestinians in Gaza have only worsened, there is now stage five hunger. Every day that passes means more people are close, dangerously close to dying. Other people are getting weaker so they cannot help with getting the food.
A new ‘holocaust’ is perhaps the only term that accurately characterises the horror we’re now seeing in Gaza. From the very beginning of this genocide, the denial of food, fuel and water has been used as a weapon of war against two million Palestinians living in the world’s largest concentration camp.
