The state of Israel—fully backed and funded by U.S. imperialism—is actively committing a genocide of Palestinian people in Gaza. Thousands of people—including children—slaughtered. Medical centers, churches, mosques, whole blocks turned to rubble and ash. People in the U.S. have a special responsibility to rise up in mass protest to demand this STOP NOW! And to work urgently for a real revolution to overthrow the whole system of capitalism-imperialism that is causing this nightmare.

On October 7, the reactionary Islamic fundamentalist group Hamas attacked Israel—including civilians. Since then, Israel has been waging a mass slaughter of Palestinian civilians in the “open air prison” of Gaza. They cut off food, water, and electricity, and missiles have been raining down—with one person killed every 5 minutes and one child killed every 15 minutes... and the death toll is rising. 

The murder of civilians and taking civilian hostages, including children and elderly, are war crimes by Hamas. These ugly tactics flow out of their reactionary nature, objectives and methods as a religious fundamentalist organization. What Hamas represents will never lead to liberation. Upholding or blindly following behind them betrays the real revolution that Palestinians need. 

“We Stand with Israel” = We Stand with Genocide

Israel was founded, 75 years ago, on the basis of massive terror against masses of Palestinian people. It is a nuclear-armed military power which has, for generations, carried out repeated atrocities against the Palestinian people—including confining over two million people in Gaza, now with no escape. This vicious war on Gaza—happening at the same time as intensified imperialist rivalry—threatens to spiral out into regional, and even global conflict, which holds the danger of nuclear war and the extinction of humanity.

This is all being given military and financial backing by Biden, with loud support from mainstream Democrats and most of the Republican fascists. Why? Not because of the “Israeli lobby,” but because Israel plays a “special role” as a heavily armed bastion of support for U.S. imperialism in a strategically important part of the world (the “Middle East”). And Israel has been a key force in the commission of atrocities which have helped to maintain the oppressive rule of U.S. imperialism in many other parts of the world.

The revolutionary leader and architect of the new communism, Bob Avakian, said recently: 

What motivates Biden and the rest—what they mean by the “national interests” and the “security interests” of this country—is not concern for the lives or the rights of people, anywhere, but the murderously oppressive interests of the blood-soaked U.S. empire, which they are prepared to enforce with genocidal violence and even with the danger of wiping out human existence.

In the midst of this carnage and the threat of far worse, the need for revolution cries out loudly. A total revolution—one aiming to overthrow the system of capitalism-imperialism and root out all relations of exploitation, all relations of one country or one people dominating other countries and other peoples, and all relations where one part of humanity dominates and oppresses another. Again, people in this country have a special responsibility to work urgently toward this revolution—to rid humanity of the biggest imperialist beast. To make a revolution—NOT for revenge, but to emancipate all humanity, all over the world. 

Again, from Bob Avakian:

We, the people of the world, can no longer afford to allow these imperialists to continue to dominate the world and determine the destiny of humanity. They need to be overthrown as quickly as possible. And it is a scientific fact that we do not have to live this way.
