The US-Zionist genocidal assault on Gaza is continuing, with over 100 airplanes dropping US-made weapons on Palestinians in schools, refugee camps, mosques and residential buildings, with over 86 martyrs and hundreds of wounded so far. The US and the Zionist entity bear joint and several responsibility for this crime. It is long past time that they are held accountable.
The resistance in Palestine, in Yemen, in Lebanon and throughout the region are imposing that accountability, but it is critical that the people bearing the brunt of the tons of bombs and weaponry not hold this burden alone.
Let us be very clear: the wave of deportations, arrests, threats and attacks by the fascist US government — and fellow imperialist powers — is meant to clear the path for the US-Zionist assault on Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, all of occupied Palestine and the region. It is meant deliberately to create state terror and to quell the movement in support of Palestinian liberation.
They want to create the conditions whereby the resistance in the imperial core does not respond and is suppressed into silence and ineffectiveness. They want the growing mass movement to leave the people and the Resistance in Palestine, in Yemen, in Lebanon, alone.
This is not a coincidence of timing, it is a strategy of multi-pronged assault and counter-insurgency that has always been part of the imperialist-Zionist plan. Deportations, bans and arrests are part and parcel of aiding, abetting and committing genocide.
The Resistance is on the front lines, defending the people of Palestine and humanity itself, refusing subjugation, genocide and dispossession, not only for the past 18 months but for the past 76 years and beyond. The Zionist and imperialist regimes, despite their hundreds of tons of bombs and weapons of mass destruction dumped on the people of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, have failed to suppress the Resistance or uproot the people, and they will not end their humiliation with more genocide.
This is the time to make it clear that their repression, their bans, their designations and their arrests — their state terror and imposed fear — will never allow them to get away with genocide. It is the time to be louder, clearer and stronger than ever. It is time to stand with the Resistance, in defense of Palestine and in defense of humanity. Amid the US bombs, millions took to the streets today throughout Yemen to make it clear that their genocidal war machine would never suppress Yemeni resistance and humanity. It is imperative that the movement throughout the imperial core take inspiration from this example and do no less, and to nurture an international popular cradle of resistance that is confrontational and directly aims to make their genocide impossible.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. Victory to the Resistance, defeat for imperialism and Zionism, liberation for Palestine.
