Declaration one year after the new Israeli genocide

No Zionist State in Palestine. Let's stop the invasion of Lebanon. Out of the US. from the Middle East. For a unique Palestine, Democratic, secular and socialist.

1. He 7 October marks one year since Hamas invaded border defenses in southern Israel, attacked military targets, took hostages - mostly civilians- and returned to their bases. The operation took Israel by surprise, It demolished the myth of its invulnerability and paralyzed the process of “normalization” of its relations with the complicit Arab States sponsored by North American imperialism.. The pain over the death and mistreatment of unarmed civilians cannot hide that the essential person responsible for the violence is the Zionist and colonialist State., that has committed ethnic cleansing and genocide against the Palestinian people since the end of the First World War, in 1918, under the protection of British imperialism, with a dramatic leap when the State of Israel was founded in 1948, does 76 years.

2. In retaliation for the action of Hamas, The Israel Defense Forces relaunched a brutal war against Palestine, especially in the Gaza Strip. The relentless bombing of homes, hospitals, schools, bakeries and refugee camps; cutting off water supply, light and internet; and the blockade of international humanitarian and health aid have so far caused more than 200.000 dead Palestinian people, 41.000 of them by bullets and bombs, tens of thousands more due to malnutrition and lack of medicines -mostly women and children-, nail 10.000 under the rubble, 95.000 wounds, nearly two million displaced and the destruction of all basic infrastructure. Added to this massacre are attacks by Zionist troops and settlers against Palestinian residents in the occupied West Bank..

3. In the last week, The State of Israel multiplied its attacks on Lebanon. First he detonated thousands of pager devices and then unleashed bombings on the civilian population of the south., thus opening the possibility of a war escalation throughout the Middle East. It is the largest attack on that country since the Zionist occupation of 1982, which now Israel tries to repeat. The assassination of Nasrallah and the invasion of southern Lebanon is turning into a total war against Hisbollah and the entire Lebanese people.. Both, As a result of the Lebanese economic collapse, the capacity of hospitals and humanitarian aid institutions is exhausted.

4. During the past year, Israel's attacks and armed operations also reach Syria, Yemen and Iran, always with economic support, US political and military, Western imperialism and its governments. Israel also has the explicit or implicit complicity of the new imperialisms of Russia and China and the majority of the capitalist governments of the Arab countries.. Beyond its anti-Israel rhetoric, The reactionary and theocratic Iranian regime has not in fact supported the Palestinian resistance in accordance with its expectations.. At the same time, The greatest threat to the possibility of genuine peace in the region is Zionist-imperialist oppression..

5. Despite the enormous disparity of forces and the massacres, Israel still fails to break Palestinian resistance, dismantle Hamas or recover the hostages. Both, in the main imperialist countries, the Arab world and globally, with youth as the vanguard, there are massive demonstrations, camps and other solidarity actions with Palestine and boycott of Zionist interests that unmask the criminal role of Israel. Activists challenge repression and persecution by complicit governments. This growing repudiation has pressured the International Criminal Court and UN organizations to issue resolutions condemning Israel., demand ceasefire, that humanitarian aid arrives and the occupation of new territories ceases. But they are limited to formal statements, without effective sanctions. The only decisive tool to win remains the Palestinian resistance and the active solidarity of the Arab peoples and the entire world..

6. Netanyahu's far-right government, Likud and religious parties deepen their anti-Palestinian offensive of a clearly pogromist nature. Protests in Israel criticize the government and demand that it negotiate the exchange of prisoners with Hamas, but they support Zionist domination. And the progressive anti-occupation sectors are very minority. On the other hand, The Palestinian Authority of Abbas and the PLO in the West Bank plays a role of more or less open collaboration with Israel. And as for Hamas, Hezbollah and other bourgeois nationalist and jihadist leaderships, Its political project is a capitalist and Islamic fundamentalist Palestinian state in the style of Iran., what we consider reactionary and authoritarian. Irreconcilable differences separate us from this strategy., so we encourage the construction of a new revolutionary Palestinian leadership, socialist and internationalist.

7. Despite such fundamental differences, Our support for the cause of the Palestinian people for their liberation and self-determination is unconditional., to his right to defend himself by all means at his disposal, and to return and recover their homes and usurped lands. We call on the youth, the workers and the people; to human rights and popular organizations, to US anti-Zionist Arab and Jewish activists., Europe, Middle East, the Maghreb and the entire world to redouble the mobilization in repudiation of the State of Israel and in support of Palestine. The first task of revolutionary socialists is to promote the greatest possible unity of action against the Zionist genocide and in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Support we extend to the Lebanese people, today attacked with impunity by Israel.

8. there was not, There is and will not be any just and lasting peace in the Middle East as long as the oppression of the Zionist State persists., theocratic and terrorist of Israel, artificially enclaved as a pro-imperialist gendarme of the Arab peoples. Nor with the failed policy oftwo states that try to recreate imperialism and its allies nor with a capitalist and Islamist Palestinian State. To fulfill a progressive role, Israeli working class and youth should break with Zionism, reject their war and support the Palestinian cause. Peace will only be possible with the definitive defeat of the oppressive Israeli state and its replacement by a single Palestine, secular, democratic and socialist within the framework of a regional socialist revolution.

9. The undersigned organizations propose:

The broadest international mobilization in defense and solidarity with the Palestinian people against Zionist apartheid and genocide. Solidarity with the people of Lebanon in the face of Israel's aggression.

• Immediate ceasefire and end of Israeli attack on Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon and Syria. Settlers and Zionist troops out of Gaza and the West Bank.
• Demand that governments sever diplomatic relations, economic, academic and military with Israel. Support for the BDS campaign: boycott, disinvestment, sanctions.
• Freedom for all Palestinian detainees in Israel. Right of return of Palestinian refugees and to recover their lands and homes. Full equality of rights.
• For the destruction of the Zionist State. For a unique Palestine, secular, democratic and socialist from the river to the sea, where all peoples coexist in peace.
• Down with Arab monarchies and capitalist governments, partners of Zionism and imperialism. For a federation of socialist republics of the Middle East.
• Out with the US and all the imperialists from the Middle East!
