GAZA TWO YEARS LATER

GAZA TWO YEARS LATER

THE FASCISTS STOLE OUR SOULS,

NOW THEY ARE STEALING OUR COUNTRY

At one in the morning, armed troops attacked an apartment building. Some of the masked thugs dropped from helicopters onto the roof while others arrived in armored vehicles and broke in through the front door. an apartment building. Men, women and children were ripped from their homes and carted off to detention and oblivion.¹

THIS IS NOT GAZA CITY, THIS IS CHICAGO!

Two years ago, President Biden hugged Netanyahu and pledged full U.S. support to the Israeli war on the people of Gaza. Initially sold to the American people as a fight against terrorism, it is now clear that Israel’s real goal is genocide and ethnic cleansing. The whole world knows this.

U.S. bombs and bullets have murdered Palestinian children and adults and destroyed their country. We did not OK this, we do not want this and we must stop this!

The U.S. Declaration of Independence states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all people are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” This is the basis of America, this is the soul of the American people.

The war criminals Biden, Trump and the leadership of the Republican and Democratic parties violated our basic moral principles. They have made it possible for Israel to commit unspeakable acts of brutality and immorality.

The war on the Palestinian people is coming home!

Trump declared that he wants to use American cities as “training grounds” for the military, and described “civil disturbances” as the “enemy from within”. ² The real training grounds are Gaza, the Palestinian West Bank and the peace and justice movements in Israel.

The Israeli Defense Forces (I.D.F.) are teaching the U.S. fascists how to suppress popular movements and uprisings. Armed raids on civilians, random terror, arrests and abductions, and large, overcrowded detention centers are used daily in Palestinian West Bank communities. The selective and invasive AI-based monitoring of people based upon the color of their skin, the language they speak or their personal beliefs has been worked out by Israel and marketed to the world.

The fascist forces in the U.S. know that our resistance is growing. They are preparing for the fight by sending troops to Chicago and other American cities.

The American people are fighting back. We are fighting to end the genocide in Gaza, resisting I.C.E. attacks on our immigrant sisters and brothers, protesting the military occupation of our cities, continuing the fight for health care, housing and our planet. Our separate struggles are coming together to form a single movement for a new America and a new world.

We have one common target – the 1% of the population, the capitalist class, who own the means of production, the electronic media, factories, banks, mines, etc., and who use our labor to make money. This is a war between those of us who supply the collective labor that produces wealth versus the private owners who seize that wealth. We are the working class, the 99% who must sell our ability to work in order to live.

We cannot win our fight for a better life, we cannot save our country unless we end the U.S. participation in the genocide in Gaza. The future of the Palestinian people is our future.
