January 21. IDF Attacks the West Bank city of Jenin

Beginning with “Operation Iron Wall”. Israel is using the methods it perfected in Gaza. The goal is to reduce the city to rubble and drive out its citizens. As Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated, the Jenin operation is “the first lesson from the method of repeated raids in Gaza.”³

January 31. The Attack on Jenin continues.

With 19 Palestinians dead, more than 50 injured, large-scale detentions and the destruction of homes, schools, businesses and hospitals.⁴ According to the UN, the Jenin camp is “nearly uninhabitable” with an estimated 2,000 families displaced from the area since December.³

West Bank is under constant Attack by Settlers and Army.

While we have concentrated on the genocide in Gaza, at least 870 Palestinians, including 177 children, have been killed and more than 6,700 wounded in attacks by the Israeli army and settlers across the West Bank. At least 13,500 Palestinians including children have been arrested and more than 2,100 structures demolished leaving more than 6,700 people displaced.⁵

Destroying Jenin is the next step in Israel’s plan to Annex the West Bank and Expel Palestinians.

The US Government supports the Israeli Stealing of Palestinian land.

Neither the Democratic or the Republican Party opposes the genocide in Gaza or the land grab in the West Bank. While Biden said he opposed the forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank, he sent Israel the arms used to destroy Gaza and now Jenin and the West Bank. Trump openly backs the Israeli annexation of the West Bank and his UN ambassador nominee, Elise Stefanik, supports Israeli claims of biblical rights to the entire West Bank.⁶

If We Want Peace, if We Want Justice, We are going to have to Do it Ourselves.

There are no real differences between the twin parties of capitalism. They may look different domestically, but their foreign policies are almost identical: they both serve the ruling class and run a government designed to steal our wealth and give it to the rich.
