On October 7, 2023, Palestinian organizations carried out surprise attacks on many points of Israel by land, air and sea. With these latest attacks, the Israeli state’s attacks on the Palestinian territories have reached enormous dimensions. Israel, with its heavily fortified walls and technology, is trying to compensate for the shock of these attacks with a larger offensive operation and an all-out bombardment without discriminating between civilians and soldiers. The bombed hospitals, the closed border crossings, the besieged areas and everything else are movements aimed at a massacre on this basis.
Attempts are being made to bring Gaza to the stage of being completely severed from the world. The number of dead and injured is expressed in very large numbers. Israel openly expresses its shock attack by saying, “I will end it completely!” It is possible to fit everything, every massacre and every inhumane practice into this statement.
The struggle that has been waged for many years is an honorable and just struggle of the Palestinian people. It is a battle for the ideal of “A Free Palestine from the River to the Sea”. On one side is the Palestinian land, which is full of a life-and-death struggle of an oppressed people, and on the other side is the state of Israel, which is another name for occupation and death. All the suffering and suffering that the Palestinian people have endured for years will only come to an end when they find expression in an equal and free life. The Jewish people, who have massacres, genocides and discrimination in their history, have no problem with the Palestinian people. It is the state of Israel and its supporting imperialist powers that have created this as a contradiction. Therefore, despite all the distortions of the West and the state of Israel, nothing can cast a shadow on the struggle of the Palestinian people. It is a righteous struggle until the end. Organizing a common life in the entire Middle East is a revolutionary task today.
However, today, the AKP-MHP fascist government, which is a scourge on the peoples of the Middle East, continues its hypocritical-hypocritical understanding. Erdogan and his regime are trying to create demagoguery by saying on television, “We stand with the Palestinians!” He’s trying to consolidate his own power. But its political and economic relations with Israel are growing day by day. His dependence on Israel is increasing. The blood and lives of the Palestinians are nothing to the Erdogan regime, which wants to make billions of dollars by passing Israel’s energy resources through Turkey. For them, the life of oppressed peoples is just a discourse.
The ancient Middle East geography has been home to all peoples and beliefs. Turkish, Kurdish, Arab, Assyrian, Armenian and all other peoples will continue to live freely and equally. The only way to achieve this is to overthrow the occupying and invading governments. What is happening in Palestine today is also happening in Rojava, word for word, literally. There is no difference between the occupying Erdogan regime and the Netanyahu government. Exactly today, energy sources are being bombed, hospitals are being attacked, civilians are being killed in Rojava; The same is happening in Palestine.
Palestine, Rojava and many other countries, on which banned chemical gases have been thrown, bombs rained down on their children, whose cities have been destroyed, and which have been brought to this day under the most difficult conditions, will continue to exercise their legitimate right of defense and attack against all these oppressive, occupation and occupation governments. Erdogan’s regime will collapse with its hypocritical lies. Erdogan, who supposedly defends Palestinian rights, is planning a massacre in Rojava behind closed doors. It carries out massacres that would astonish even the state of Israel.
Erdogan, the AKP-MHP government and the rulers, who are occupiers in Rojava, have no right to talk about the suffering, genocide and civilian deaths in Palestine. The deaths and sufferings in Palestine are just a discourse in language for them. Those pains were seen by Deniz Gezmişler and Cihan Alptekinler in Palestine. Today, in Rojava, the Ulaşs, Barans and Nubars have seen those pains and have become immortal while carrying out their internationalist revolutionary duties.
The fate of the oppressed and oppressed peoples continues to converge and unite. It is only the revolutionaries who amplify the struggle of the oppressed peoples both in word and in practice. The one that will liberate Palestine, Rojava and all the oppressed; The power that will hold the massacres accountable is growing in the just struggle of the people.
We will hold accountable the massacres in Palestine and Rojava! We will hold the collaborative and colonialist AKP-MHP government accountable with a united revolution! The occupying forces will be defeated! Palestine, Rojava and all oppressed peoples will win!
