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. Israel

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
Afghanistan and Iraq against imperialist occupation and attack! Defeat

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

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. The League for the Fourth
International fights for Arab/Hebrew workers revolution and a socialist
federation of the Near East. Defend
the Palestinian People! (February 2001)
