Drive the U.S. Imperialists Out of Iraq and All the Near East!

On July 14, Israel began a full-scale assault on Lebanon, bombing targets, military and civilian, throughout the country. Particularly hard-hit in the Israeli onslaught against Lebanon have been the Shiite Muslim communities where the Islamic organization Hezbollah is strong. There, the Israeli air force is massacring the civilian population, including many children, killing whole families in their homes, bombing refugee columns. Whatever the pretext used by Israel to justify its aggression, the international workers movement must stand squarely for defense of the Palestinian people and Lebanese Shiite population under attack, and for the defeat of the Israeli assault. The current invasion of Lebanon is part of an overall plan by the Zionist expansionists to unilaterally redraw the borders of the Near East and could easily engulf the entire region in the flames of war. Trotskyists defend the Palestinian people and Shiite population and stand with those resisting the Zionist occupiers, while calling for an Arab/Hebrew workers state in a socialist federation of the Near East.

Defend Afghanistan, Iraq Against Imperialist Attack!
U.S./NATO Out of the Near East and Central/South Asia!

The Israeli government has launched a genocidal war against the Palestinians. Its purpose is to “decapitate” the Palestinian Authority, kill thousands of those who oppose Israel’s brutal rule, and “ethnically cleanse” key areas of the West Bank and Gaza by driving out tens of thousands of Palestinians. The Zionist leadership has received a green light from the United States government to carry out this terrorist war. The U.S. and its NATO allies meanwhile are keeping Afghanistan under the iron heel of occupation as they prepare a new war against Iraq. The League for the Fourth International issues an urgent call to defend the Palestinian people against the Zionist “final solution”! Drive the Zionist occupiers out of the West Bank and Gaza – Bring down the Zionist state through Arab/Hebrew workers revolution, in a socialist federation of the Near East!

Defend the Palestinian People
Israeli Rulers Prepare All-Out War
Behind all the talk of non-existent cease-fires, the sudden trips by top U.S. officials to the Near East and Israeli calls to “remove” (assassinate) Yasir Arafat lies the fact that the Zionist leaders are systematically gearing up to launch a full-scale attack on Arafat’s Palestinian Authority (PA). The PA was the make-believe government set up in the Occupied Territories by the 1993 Oslo “peace” accord in order to police the Arab masses and put an end to the first intifada (uprising). The whole Oslo “peace” fraud was a product of the U.S.-dominated New World Order in the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union. The idea that the NATO chiefs who bombed Belgrade and Baghdad could or would somehow pressure Israeli warmongers into making concessions is a dangerous illusion. Class-conscious working people around the world must defend the oppressed Palestinian people against the Zionist oppressors, all the more so in an outright war. Trotskyists look to the international working class to defend the Palestinian Arab people whose rights and lives have been trampled on by the Zionists’ jackboot. Defeats for imperialism around the world will have a direct impact in the area. A proletarian upheaval against the decrepit Arab regimes anywhere in the Near East would directly threaten both the Zionists and the Arab puppets of imperialism. Israeli Rulers Prepare All-Out War (Summer 2001)

Defend the Palestinian People!
For an Arab/Hebrew Workers Republic in a Socialist Federation of the Near East!

Thousands of Palestinian youths daily confront the Israeli  murderers. The Zionist state engages in large-scale assassination. Barak sends tanks against children, Israeli army sharpshooters shoot to kill youth holding stones, helicopter gunships fire on Palestinian cars and homes. Now Sharon, the butcher of Sabra and Shatila, is at the helm. The new intifada (uprising) led by Arab youth is a courageous act of defiance by those who have nothing to lose. Class-conscious workers around the world must demand that Israel get out of all the Occupied Territories. But a Palestinian pseudo-state in the West Bank and Gaza presided over by Arafat would be no more than a glorified ghetto to imprison the Palestinian people.
