As
soon as the U.S. elections were over, the Zionist Israeli governmentlaunched a rain
of death against the beleaguered Palestinian population of Gaza. If
U.S. president Barack Obama began his re-election campaign with the murder of
Osama bin Laden, Israel's war criminal premier Benjamin Netanyahu launched his
campaign for the January 2013 elections by the terrorist assassination of
Ahmed al-Jabari, the head of the al-Qassam Brigades, the military arm of Hamas. This was
accompanied by a full-scale barrage of indiscriminate aerial bombing, that killed
dozens of Palestinians. Meanwhile in Egypt, while Cairo masses denounce the
Israeli terror bombing, the Muslim Brotherhood government is calling for a
ceasefire while continuing to keep Palestinians locked up in the tiny Gaza
Strip. The attack on Gaza is a prelude to a wider Middle East War. We demand:
imperialists, Zionists and Islamists, Hands off Syria. Smash imperialism
and Zionism through international socialist revolution.

Oakland Picket Blocks Israeli Ship!
On June 20, mass pickets blocked the unloading of an Israeli ZIM
Lines ship at the Port of Oakland (California) to protest the May 31 Israeli massacre of
activists aboard a flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. More than 800
demonstrators showed up before dawn for the day shift picket, and hundreds
returned to block an evening shift, which was called off. So the
picketers succeeded in blocking the unloading of
the Zim Lines freighter for 24 hours – the first time an Israeli ship
has been blocked in a U.S. port. The picket was called by labor and
community groups and built by the San Francisco and Alameda County
Labor Councils, who condemned the Israeli attack and sent out notices
urging Bay Area unionists to join the lines. A message from the
Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions said that the Oakland
dock action was “something we have longed for and expected,” recalling
the 1984 boycott of a South African ship on the Oakland docks which
spurred international solidarity with the struggle against apartheid.
The June picket must be a spur to further workers solidarity action
against the murderous Zionist regime.

Israel’s Gaza Flotilla Massacre: Bloody War Provocation
Israel's seizure of a flotilla bearing humanitarian aid to Gaza on
May 31 and the Zionist commandos'cold-blooded executions of at least
nine activists aboard one of the ships provoked outrage around the
world. This was state terrorism. While European governments made mild
criticisms of Israel and its four-year-old blockade of Gaza, the main
concern of the Obama administration in Washington was to prevent a
U.N. resolution blaming Israel. Many protesters are calling for boycott,
divestment and sanctions against Israel, harking back to the
campaign against apartheid South Africa. But impotent consumer
boycotts of Israeli products, calling on businesses not to invest in
Israel and for imperialist sanctions will not stop the Zionist
mass murderers, nor did they stop the South African apartheid regime.
Rather than looking to the capitalists and imperialists, Trotskyists
call today on the workers movement to boycott cargo, ships and planes to
and from Israel. Boycotts have been called by South African, Swedish and Norwegian dock
workers unions and a picket is planned in the port of Oakland,California.

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. Israel

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

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)
