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.

Debate is taking place within the labour movement about what role workers’ organisations should play in relation to the campaign to stop the war in Gaza. The trade unions cannot afford to be ‘apolitical’, but must fight to overthrow imperialism.
