On either side of the Atlantic, Palestine solidarity protests are erupting on university campuses. The British establishment and its institutions have blood on their hands. We must fight to kick out the warmongers in Westminster and Washington.
Last Friday, communists kicked Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg out of Cardiff University. Establishment politicians and the media have responded with a frenzy of condemnation. We will step up the struggle to bring down our imperialist ruling class!
Across campuses in the United States, a movement has exploded against the massacre in Gaza. The state has responded with brutal repression, and a whole generation is being politicised. The RCP stands in full solidarity with this courageous struggle.
This weekend, Iran launched a drone and missile attack on Israel, in retaliation against Israeli strikes. The situation in the Middle East is becoming increasingly fraught and unstable, with a regional war and mass social upheaval on the cards.
Establishment politicians have decried Israel’s killing of aid workers in Gaza, including several Britons. But the truth is that Sunak, Starmer, and the rest of the Westminster warmongers have blood on their hands. We say: overthrow their system!
The western imperialists are hypocrites of the highest order. Biden and his allies wring their hands about the death and destruction in Gaza. Meanwhile, they aid and abet Netanyahu’s slaughter. We must fight to bring down all these warmongers.
The Shut Down Rafael campaign aims to shut down an Israeli-owned arms factory in Newcastle. Our comrades, who have been involved in the campaign, offer a critique of its methods, underscoring the need for a revolutionary, class-based approach.
In recent weeks, student activists have occupied university buildings in solidarity with Palestine. Communists involved in the Leeds occupation examine the effectiveness of these methods, and the role students can play in the struggle against imperialism.
The situation in Gaza has reached a stalemate. The Israeli regime has failed in its aims. For his own interests, however, Netanyahu refuses to accept a ceasefire. The imperialists in Washington, London, and Tel Aviv have blood on their hands.
Netanyahu is tightening the noose around the necks of the Palestinian people. Gaza is being purposefully deprived of vital aid by western imperialism. And Israel is withholding tax revenue from the West Bank. An almighty explosion is being prepared.
The people of Gaza are already facing a deadly nightmare. Spurred on by his own narrow political interests, however, Netanyahu is set to escalate the slaughter even further by invading the city of Rafah. The whole region is ready to explode.
This May, we are launching the Revolutionary Communist Party. To prepare for this, we are looking back on the history of our organisation – beginning with the firm position taken by the Trotskyists in the ‘40s against the partition of Palestine.
