“Shame”:  

Palestinians Needing Medical Treatment NOT Allowed!

On August 15, the U.S. suspended visitor visas for all Palestinians from Gaza, including for children in desperate need of medical treatment. This came after fascist lunatic and Trump ally Laura Loomer posted videos of Palestinian refugees arriving at U.S. airports, including seriously wounded Palestinian children requiring emergency medical care. Loomer demanded the State Department block entry for these “Islamic invaders.”1

According to a spokesperson for the Gaza ministry of health, “We have more than 16,000 patients [in Gaza] who need treatment abroad. We have already lost more than 600 patients who died while still waiting to travel.” Many if not most of them have been maimed or injured by U.S. bombs, missiles, and shells. 

"Today the state department halted the issuance of visas to people from Gaza!” Mosab Abu Toha posted on X. “How the hell does this happen? Is this really America? Well, this is the same United States that, in 1939, turned away the MS St. Louis, a ship carrying over 900 Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany. They were sent back to Europe. Many were later murdered in the Holocaust. But back then, the U.S. wasn’t arming Nazi Germany. It wasn’t sending bombs to drop on civilians, or funding the gas chambers. 

“Today, in 2025, the U.S. is not only complicit in Israel’s actions, it’s enabling them. 

Shame."

We are at a turning point in history. The capitalist-imperialist system is a horror for billions of people here and around the world and threatening the very fabric of life on earth. Now the election of fascist Trump poses even more extreme dangers for humanity—and underscores the total illegitimacy of this system, and the urgent need for a radically different system.

The website Revcom.us follows the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian (BA), the author of the new communism. Bob Avakian has scientifically analyzed that we are in a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible in the U.S. He’s charted a strategy for making that revolution, and laid out a sweeping vision and concrete blueprint for “what comes next” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

Revcom.us projects BA’s voice, leadership, and vision throughout society. It posts his timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists) and the whole movement for revolution, including his social media posts, and curates his whole body of work. 

Our website applies the scientific approach BA has developed to analyze major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how they relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this, and what the goals of that revolution are.

Revcom.us acts as a guiding and connecting hub for the revcom movement nationwide: showing what’s being done, digging into what’s right and what’s wrong, and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force. As part of this, revcom.us feature and promotes the weekly The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube.com. 

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but rises to a whole different level!

DONATE NOW to revcom.us and get with BA and the revcoms!
