The Syrian regime has collapsed. The resulting power vacuum is being filled by local militias and warlords, backed by various imperialist powers seeking to redivide the country and the region. The Syrian masses can only rely on their own strength.
The International Criminal Court has finally issued arrest warrants for war criminals Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant. This decision exposes the utter hypocrisy of the western imperialists, as well as the impotence of ‘international law’.
Having failed to destroy Hamas or return the hostages, Israel’s has embarked upon an open policy of ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza, where some 400,000 men, women, and children remain. The bloodletting will not cease until imperialism is overthrown.
Starmer recently blamed Russia for disrupting food aid to Gaza, and having no respect for international law. Meanwhile, Britain’s allies in Israel starve, bomb, and massacre tens of thousands, with Labour’s full support. Down with imperialist hypocrisy!
Ever since the 7 October attack, the logic of imperialism has driven the Middle East towards regional war, with revolutionary implications across the world. Today it is clearer than ever: capitalism and imperialism must die, so that mankind may live.
As the murderous Israeli regime rains down hellfire upon Palestinian hospitals and Lebanese neighbourhoods, Labour have nothing to offer but empty words, sickening hypocrisy, and toothless measures. Starmer and Lammy are complicit in these crimes.
Israel’s invasion of Lebanon has led to confrontations with UN peacekeepers. While the Zionist state commits war crimes and disregards international law, western leaders look the other way. The sham of the ‘rules-based order’ is being exposed to millions.
We are proud to announce a new, updated, and expanded edition of the RCP booklet ‘Israel-Palestine: A Revolutionary Way Forward’. We publish here the new introduction, covering the earth-shattering events since the commencement of Israel’s slaughter.
Netanyahu’s genocidal war on Gaza, now one year old, has created a new ‘nakba’ – ‘catastrophe’ in Arabic – for the Palestinian people. With Israel now spreading the slaughter, the same fate awaits Lebanon. We must fight to overthrow the warmongers.
Israel and its western imperialist backers are pushing the Middle East ever closer to a devestating all-out regional war. No amount of petitioning or radical language can put an end to the Zionist war machine. We need mass action to bring down imperialism!
This week on Communist Radio: Ben Gliniecki and Khaled Malachi discuss Israel’s invasion of Lebanon, the rank hypocrisy of western leaders like Starmer, and how workers and youth can fight to overthrow the imperialist system.
