Today marks two years since the genocide in Gaza began. More than half a million Palestinians have been slaughtered by Israeli state terrorism yet both parties of U.S. imperialism continue to back this modern-day holocaust.
Democratic and Republican politicians in the U.S. Congress have provided over $21 billion to Israel to carry out these horrors, first under President Biden, who presided over the genocide for 15 months, and now under President Trump.
The brutal mistreatment of courageous activists on the Global Sumud Flotilla, including Greta Thunberg and Amazon union leader Chris Smalls, detained and assaulted by Israeli forces, has been met with deafening silence by Democrats, including progressives like AOC and Bernie Sanders. My opponent, Democratic Congressmember Adam Smith, has also remained silent, not surprisingly. Smith has called antiwar activists “left-wing fascists” and demanded they be arrested. He has voted again and again to fund the genocide and to repeatedly block United Nations food aid to Gaza, despite overwhelming evidence of catastrophic mass starvation in Gaza.
The Democratic Party has not a shred of credibility left. Instead of “never again,” the Democrats have voted again and again to fund the Gaza holocaust. As recently as July, 207 Democrats, including Adam Smith and AOC, voted to fund Iron Dome, which is part of the weapons apparatus that has allowed the Israeli state to act with impunity with its onslaught against Gaza as well as other nations in the region, including Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iran.
We need a new party for working and oppressed people in the United States. A party that will base itself on militant mass movements, on mass strike action, and mass civil disobedience to end this genocide and to fight unambiguously for working people and the oppressed against the billionaires and their rotten system.
My independent socialist campaign for Congress is calling for an immediate end to all U.S. funding to the Israeli state, an end to the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, an end to the apartheid system in Israel, and an end to both genocidal parties of the U.S. billionaire class.
We need a global intifada — a mass uprising against this violent capitalist system — on a working-class basis. The Palestinian intifadas began in 1987 as a series of uprisings against the Israeli occupation. During these intifadas, Palestinians fought back with mass protests, civil disobedience, and strike action in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. This resistance has been met with brutality by the Israeli state backed to the hilt by American imperialism.
We need an intifada of the millions which follows the historical example set by the Palestinian masses, and the example being set now by the Italian working class. These are examples of broad unity and militant working-class action against the genocide and occupation. We need general strikes that will shut down the economy, the ports, and the capitalist system as a whole until our demands are met.
Some hope that Trump’s latest “peace plan” could end the massacre. But history tells us that the Israeli state plans to carry through its plan of mass murder and ethnic cleansing to the end, unless they are stopped by a mass international antiwar movement. The Israeli state itself was created as a bulwark for Western imperialism. It acts as a force against regional working-class movements and on behalf of the capitalist class, which also includes the uber-wealthy individuals in nations such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt.
The only way out of this cycle of genocide, war, poverty, and climate catastrophe is to end capitalism itself. That’s why I’m a revolutionary socialist.
⚠️To Whom It May Concern,
The occupation is now openly threatening a full-scale invasion of Gaza.
For 22 months, the city has been bleeding under relentless bombardment from land, sea, and air.
Tens of thousands have been killed, and hundreds of thousands wounded.
If this madness does not end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.
Please share this message and tag everyone who has the power to help end this massacre. Silence is complicity.
Really weird when the US and Israel lied about iraq killing babies in hospitals, so everyone was shocked and they invaded it. When they lied and said hamas beheaded 40 babies and everyone was shocked and pissed. When israel and the US kills babies, not a peep.
That AIPAC purchased the seats of about 90% or more of our current congress. JFK famously wanted them registered as a foreign agent right before he was shot and thus they changed their name and never registered. Why are we letting a foreign lobby buy off our congress?
That Israel was obviously the state sponsor of Jefrey Epstein, whose handler was Ehud Barak, ex head of Israeli military intelligence, his funding was Les Wexner one of the worlds richest Zionist 'philanthropists' and he was accused by ex Mossad assets of being Mossad. Not to mention the Maxwell connection. (They had blackmail on Clinton, and many, many more.) He who holds the blackmail holds the leash- just ask J. Edgar Hoover.
That Israel is the only nation who has a defacto sanctioned, yet actually secret and unsanctioned nuclear program. A program that they stole from the United States- look into the Apollo affair, NUMEC, the Dimona nuclear facility.
That jews, muslims, and christians lived side by side in peace in Palestine before the Rothschilds purchased the country from Britain during WW1 (see the Balfour declaration) and began their colonial program.
That the groups that founded Israel, Lehi, Irgun, and Hagannah, were declared terrorist organizations by Israel itself because their tactics were so deplorable (bombing British and Palestinian civilians) yet these three 'paramilitary' groups rebranded to form the IDF and their leadership became the leadership of Israel for the following thirty plus years.
That Israel is a foreign nation halfway across the world that has no business receiving my tax dollars. Why are we sending them billions of dollars of our tax money while our country burns, is overrun by illegal immigration, etc?
We are told Israel is our 'greatest ally' so why would they have had a massive spy network targeting US government agencies leading up to sep 11, 2001 - see the Israeli art students DEA report for copious evidence of Israeli surveillance all across the continental US. This is an official government report that cites hundreds of incidents of observed Israeli surveillance teams documented by US government agents all across the continental US.
And we still have received 0 answers why there were numerous fake Israeli moving companies positioned all across the eastern seaboard leading into September 11, 2001 and we have multiple eye witness reports, as well as hard photographic evidence that they knew the attacks were coming at least a day before they did and that they were positioned at a vantage point to photograph the attack up to a half hour before the first plane hit.
Never got any answers- but you can read the official FBI reports about the incident. I've broken them down live on X before.
That's just a small list of some of the best documented reasons why I, as an American, dont want Israel receiving any of my tax dollars.
And I didn't even mention my obvious objections to the collective punishment, mass surveillance, forced starvation, bombing of refugee camps, brutal murdering of women and children that's been going on in Gaza and the West Bank for years, decades- which you can watch in graphic detail right here on X.
And that's not to mention that somehow we let congress pass laws outlawing 'antisemitic' speech, despite our own first amendment. And we have anti-boycott legislation in multiple states, despite the fact that it's perfectly legal to boycott American companies... just not Israeli ones.
Every content creator knows the fastest way to get demonetized, banned, and slandered is to be critical of Israel. I figured you would have realized this too after what they did to you and tried to do to X last year.
in the meantime, here is the correction to the politically motivated perversion of the historic record. I remain hopeful the @OxfordUnion will remedy their error in good faith, integrity, and loyalty to the truth above all.
If you’ve already agreed to a ceasefire and you are carpet bombing civilian areas because there are a few hours until the ceasefire kicks in…you are so far gone around the moral bend it’s hard to see how you come back. This is just killing for sport.
Your attack on UN special Rapporteur Albanese @FranceskAlbs is so clearly intended to hide your criminal complicity in an ongoing genocide that you truly should be embarrassed. Is there any trick from the genocidaire’s playbook that you will refuse to carry out? By attacking a person who is courageously speaking truth, you obviously hope to draw attention away from the criminal conspiracy that is the Biden White House, State Department, Department of Defense, and your office, all of which have materially aided Israel in committing genocide. Francesca Albanese is an upstander. She will be remembered as a hero. You will be remembered as a perpetrator and an apologist. As experts on the crime of genocide, we can say this with certainty.
أنا من شمال غزة ، أخاطبك من تحت وطأة الموت،
حيث تترأىء لك صورة الهلاك من خلال عين المظلوم.
إشتقت للسكون الذي بت لا أراه إلا من خلال الكتابة ووضع الحركات على الكلمات
فلهيب السماء يشق العتمة، يكسو الأفق برتقالياً كأنه ضياء النهار، والرأس يعصف به دوّي الإنفجارات حتى يكاد ينفجر
القلب يخفق خفقاناً كأنما يتسلق حنجرتي ، والنفس يضيق حتى لا أطيق أن أتنفس:" وبلغت القلوب الحناجر".
الشوارع تضج بالنساء والصغار ، يموجون في كل صوب لا يدرون أين يأخذهم المصير ، وكأننا على أبواب يوم الحساب ، حيث لا ملاذ ولا مهرب.
Jake Tapper claims that journalism is not a crime, but when Palestinian journalists are getting killed, he's silent. Jake Tapper is complicit in this genocide and in the killing of my 108 colleagues who were killed by Israeli occupation forces.
ok it's time to talk about societal distrust in experts and institutions, the rise of misinformation, cultural polarization, and how to work toward some semblance of mutually agreed upon information before we splinter into irreconcilable realities
