With the western imperialists facing defeat in Ukraine, their boastful jingoism has turned into its opposite. In this episode, Hamid Alizadeh explains what forces lie behind the conflict, and why Communists must take a revolutionary, internationalist position.

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 self-immolation of US Airman Aaron Bushnell in protest of the imperialist slaughter of Gaza has been met by an immense outpouring of sympathy across the world. A revolutionary mood is brewing everywhere, this must be channelled by a clear communist programme and organisation.
