Bulletin No43 Février 2024  It is forbidden to criticize the Zionist regime in Germany
In terms of repressing anti-colonialist and anti-Zionist speech, Germany has nothing to envy of France.  During the awards ceremony at the “ Berlinale ” film festival   , American filmmaker Ben Russell  took the stage wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh and denouncing the genocide perpetrated by Israel . Alongside Palestinian Basel Adraa, journalist and resident of Masafer Yatta in the occupied West Bank, Israeli director and journalist Yuval Abraham denounced Israeli colonization during the same awards ceremony. In his acceptance speech, Yuval Abraham said: “  We stand before you, Basel and I are the same age. I am Israeli, Basel is Palestinian. In two days we will return to a land where we are not equal  ,” Abraham lamented; “ I live under civil law and Basel under military law. We live 30 minutes from each other, but I have the right to vote. Basel does not have the right to vote. I am free to move wherever I want in this country. Basel is, like millions of Palestinians, locked in the occupied West Bank  ,” he continued; “  This situation of apartheid between us, this inequality, must end  .”
Reactions from Zionists and their supporters were quick to follow around the hackneyed theme of the so-called anti-Semitic nature of any criticism of the State of Israel. Yuval Abraham is called an anti-Semite and becomes the target of insults and death threats.
Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner of the CDU, who has been particularly noted for his support of the Zionists' genocidal policies, declared: "Anti-Semitism has no place in Berlin, and this also applies to the artists […] What happened yesterday at the Berlinale constituted an unbearable put into perspective.” The German “left” was not left out. Social Democratic Party (SPD) MP Helge Lindh described   the applause that followed Russell and Abraham's speeches  as “shocking” . “I am ashamed to see that, in my country, people today applaud accusations of genocide against Israel ,” he said. An elected member of the Greens, Konstantin von Notz, also denounced  “a shame”  and  “a perfidious reversal”  for the Jews  “of the status of victims into executioners” . Perhaps these people should find out about what is happening in Gaza, if only from the International Court of Justice, or should have listened to Abraham's speech, which only tells the lived reality.
Authorized speeches in media France
In France, the political-media landscape is almost completely closed to anyone expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people, victims of genocide. And defenders of the Palestinian cause are also the subject of threats, baseless criticism and bullying, through censorship and legal convictions.
What dominates, regarding the situation in Gaza, in the media is the silence and the almost total absence of images, while the massacre is perpetrated live and social networks are full of images, videos , testimonies of all kinds. It is possible, for certain hand-picked guests, to talk about a ceasefire, but on condition of “  recalling  ” the doxa, namely that everything began on October 7, 2023 in a serene sky, above all not to discuss the Palestinian Resistance, nor its right to resist oppression, and even less to denounce colonization or apartheid.
We can thus hear, particularly on the "  left  " and in the leadership of the CGT, a disembodied speech for peace, in that it admits shared wrongs, avoids the reference to colonialism, even if it denounces the colonies and he clings to the so-called two-state solution, even going so far as to support US initiatives, even though everyone knows that the plans they are drawing up are not intended to see the light of day. Often, to further deprive the Palestinian struggle of its meaning, we wrap it up in a general speech for peace. Mixing up the wars aims to hide the specificity of the one taking place on Palestinian soil: it is not a direct imperialist war like in Ukraine or an indirect one like in Sudan or the Congo, it is a colonial war. It can therefore neither be compared nor be put in the same bag as the other wars that we are experiencing at the moment.
What most illustrates this discourse and those who carry it are the repeated fiascos of the initiatives of the “  Collective for a Just and Lasting Peace in the Middle East  ”, a conglomeration of several dozen organizations, some of which have always been Atlanticist and pro-Zionists who put the Zionist occupier and the colonized people back to back. It should be noted that, in other frameworks, inter-union or associative, around the France Palestine Solidarity Association (AFPS), the French Jewish Union for Peace (UJFP) or the “  Urgence Palestine  ” collective, particularly in medium-sized towns , the gatherings, which demand an end to occupation and colonization, are much more numerous.
The social democratic ideologues are out
And now several organizations, not content with not attacking the Israeli occupation, adorned with self-proclaimed support for the Palestinians, come to teach a lesson to those who are truly committed to the defense of the Palestinian people and solidarity with the fight of the Resistance.
The UJRE press release
It is first of all the Union of Jews for Resistance and Mutual Aid, which puts itself forward. This organization, although created during the Resistance by the PCF, has slowly drifted since the death of its main founder, the lawyer and senator Charles Lederman. In a statement dated June 23, 2009, the UJRE office declared: “  equally supports the legitimacy of Israel's right to exist and the right of Palestinians to live in peace in a sovereign, viable state with secure borders. and recognized, all the more calmly, because in the long term, an aggressive policy is dangerous for the Israeli population itself.  ". This obscures the fact that it is the creation of the State of Israel, proclaimed unilaterally, which is the cause of the war in Palestine, and which brings back to back a colonizing State and a colonized people.
In a text dated February 19, the UJRE attacks the French Jewish Union for Peace (UJFP), and, with it, all the authentic defenders of the Palestinian people. Here first, briefly, is their analysis of the situation: “  this barbaric act [the attack of October 7] injured more than 2,000 people, caused the death of more than 1,200 soldiers and civilians, women, children , elderly people and the taking of nearly 200 hostages, mainly civilians, women and children of various nationalities  .” The UJRE therefore takes up without contesting it in any way, or even questioning it, the official version of the colonizing state of Israel, the war propaganda of a world champion of lies: Netanyahu. It also uses the term hostages, and not captives. We do not know what qualification she would give to the illegal Palestinian prisoners of the Zionists, since she does not mention this question. The press release continues its “  analysis  ”: “  Two far-right forces are fighting each other.  ". This makes it possible to qualify Hamas as a far-right organization, an ambiguous term to say the least, never defined and which seems exported from the discourses of the Western world to describe a situation which is in no way comparable. But it is also the way to hide the fact that Hamas is not alone in fighting the occupying army, but that Marxist organizations (PFLP and FDLP) are participating in this fight. Finally, the UJRE takes up all the clichés stated by Zionist leaders and petty-bourgeois ideologues on life in Gaza between 2006 and 2023: “  which holds the entire population of Gaza under its diktat and whose absolute dream is to wipe out Israel off the map by throwing the Jews into the sea. No sane and at least objective person can claim that this organization campaigns for the right of Palestinians to have a free and independent state.  ". Obviously, unlike the UJFP activists, those of the UJRE have not set foot in Gaza, the open-air prison. In its response, the UJFP recalls the reality that many of its activists experienced: “  Gazawi society was, before October 7, pluralist, lively, critical, animated by a multitude of civil society associations .  ". Furthermore, the Communist Revolutionary Party has, on several occasions, denounced the position of the supporters of the ideological and cultural primacy of the imperialist West, big or small bourgeois claiming a so-called “  Enlightenment ideology  ”. One of the variations of this primacy is often the work of people of the “  left” » who arrogate to themselves a neocolonialist right to decide, in place of the Palestinians, who is a resistance organization and who is not. The UJRE has no divine or human mission that allows it to decide this, in place of the inhabitants of Gaza and the West Bank, who, obviously, think that Hamas in Gaza is one of the Palestinian Resistance movements.
The press release from a collective of 50 activists against Urgence Palestine and the UJFP
In addition to the UJRE, a collective of 50 personalities, including at least ten from the Golem collective and five or six from the environmentalist party, an ultra-European and ultra-Atlanticist organization, attacks "  Emergency Palestine  ", UJFP and all the organizations which have in common not having qualified the attack of October 7 as terrorist. The Golem collective emerged at the time of the so-called demonstration against anti-Semitism in November 2013, initiated by Braun-Pivet and Larcher, by criticizing the presence of the RN. We said, at the time, what we thought of the reality of this initiative, not a march against anti-Semitism, but a march in support of Israel and Netanyahu. In this context, the presence of the RN was logical, that of all the pro-Zionists too, perhaps it was rather that of people who thought they were authentically left-wing and favorable to peace which was incongruous. The signatories announce “  to have solidarity and support for the Gazans  ” and accuse “  Emergency Palestine”  of sheltering anti-Semites, of advocating terrorism and of repeating the protocol of the Elders of Zion. As in the UJRE text, the reality of what is happening in Palestine is absent from this text, and, as the UJFP says about the 50 signatories, like the UJRE: “  Our detractors, largely absent of the anti-racist movement and totally absent from the solidarity movement with Palestine, found nothing better to do in the middle of the genocide in Gaza than to defame anti-Zionist Jews and international solidarity associations.  ".
The beginning of the text sets the tone for the resumption of the dominant ideas by the 50 signatories: “  As of October 7, we had numerous information showing that the operation carried out by Palestinian organizations  had largely targeted civilians, particularly in kibbutzim and at the Tribe of Nova music festival, with a characteristic anti-Semitic, pogromist and exterminating tone: systematic and indiscriminate massacres of civilians of all ages, rape and mutilation, torture, kidnapping of hostages including babies and elderly people, relentless corpses, destruction of houses...  ". As Nino Ferre said in “  The South  ”,: “  nothing is missing!”  ". The reference for this so-called information is an article in Libération, a daily newspaper directed by Drahi, an avowed Zionist, who has chosen his camp since October 7. We recall that there is no evidence at this time that rapes were committed. We had mentioned, on this subject, the tendency of petty-bourgeois feminist organizations to place themselves in a conflict of civilization (again the superiority of the West) and to admit without question that the Arab man is necessarily a potential rapist, obviously the same is true for Golem's people and their friends. Furthermore, it seems, contrary to the assertions of Libération and the Israeli government, that the majority of Israeli deaths on October 7, 2023 were soldiers. Finally, we recall the presence of Israeli army helicopters above the rave party and that the images of the smashed houses in the kibbutz alone prove that they could not have been destroyed by light weapons, but well by tank fire. Now, who had tanks on October 7? To ask the question, is to answer it.
Finally, repeating Macron's words, our 50 signatories affirm that “The pogrom of October 7 nevertheless constitutes the bloodiest massacre of Jews since the Shoah. ". Obviously, they find themselves in complete disagreement with the UJFP, which, responding to Macron, states: “  No, Mr. Macron, the victims of the attack of October 7 were not killed as Jews. Unfortunately, to their misfortune, they were killed as members of a colonial and now fascist state .”
The UJFP’s response
Attacked by the two forums, the UJFP published an update, which consists of five points.
1. “  A genocide of unprecedented scale has been taking place since October 7 against the population of Gaza. There are more than 40,000 dead or missing. [… Faced with this horror, sustained mobilization is essential to help the Palestinian people to survive and to force, through our demonstrations and our actions, the governments complicit with Israel to take their responsibilities and sanction the genocidaires. Our detractors, completely absent from the mobilizations in support of the Palestinian people, have other concerns: denigrating the Palestinians and the solidarity movement.  ".
2. “  Christian anti-Judaism, then racial anti-Semitism and the Nazi genocide are part of European history. The Palestinians have paid and continue to pay for a European crime. […] They do not conflate Israelis and Jews. We can assure you that, when you are Jewish and you go to Palestine, the almost unanimous response is: “we are against the occupation, we have nothing against the Jews”. Have our detractors been there?  ".
3. “  ¾ of the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip are refugees. They are the descendants of those who were victims of premeditated ethnic cleansing in 1948. Gaza has been occupied since 1967. The territory has been cordoned off by land, sea and air for 17 years. The occupier is organizing the shortage of water and electricity there as he is organizing the famine today.  ".
4. “  So yes, we repeat, on October 7 the pressure cooker exploded (the sentence is from Michel Warschawski) as it had exploded in Algeria on November 1, 1954. It was the occupier who was attacked on the 7 October, not the Jews. […] The person responsible is the Israeli colonial and supremacist regime, it is the occupation. But our detractors do not once mention the words “colonialism”, “occupation”, “supremacism”.  ".
5. “ Our detractors repeat the story of the Israeli authorities on October 7. Taking what the “Hasbara” says at its word is a bit strange for people who call themselves left-wing. This story has been called into question on several occasions, notably by investigations by “ Haaretz” .  ".
The point of view of the Communist Revolutionary Party
The “  left  ” is also colonialist.
If we except the value that the UJFP seems to give to the concept of the left, we agree in all respects with the response of the UJFP. The left is, for us, only an iron in the fire of capitalism and the right/left divide has no relevance beyond the fact of distinguishing two conceptions of the continuation of the capitalist system. The real divide is between those who want to overthrow it, abolish it, the Revolutionaries and those who want it to be maintained, even if it means repainting it in all possible colors.
Some sincere Palestinian supporters believe that there cannot be left-wing Zionists, because there are no left-wing colonialists. Certainly, since the beginning of its existence, the Zionist movement has been a colonizing movement, with its false slogan "  A people without land for a land without people  ", while this land had been occupied for centuries and centuries by a people, whose a significant proportion of descendants of the Hebrews, converted to Islam. But there are “ left ” colonizers   . We can cite, as far as France is concerned, the Radicals, left-wing opposition to the Opportunist Republicans at the end of the 19th century, who, having come to power in 1899, maintained and prospered the colonization organized by their predecessors and political opponents. . Or again, the Republican Front government, chaired by the Socialist (of the SFIO) Guy Mollet, and counting in its ranks Radicals and people from the UDSR (including Mitterrand), organizations located on the left. This government, chosen to end the Algerian War, on the contrary amplified the conflict and repression and notably organized the Battle of Algiers, led by General Massu to eradicate the FLN in Algiers.
As for the Zionist movement, it was shared between the left, with in particular the Labor Party and its successive leaders, David Ben-Gurion, Golda Meir, Itzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres and the right, with the Likud of Menachem Begin, Itzhak Shamir, Ariel Sharon (who left him to create a centrist party) Benyamin Netanyahu. The fundamental difference between these two currents is the relationship with the founding text, the Bible. The first used it cynically without believing in it, in a society which was strongly secular, even unbelieving, and the second played the religious card to the fullest, making the Zionist State evolve towards an increasingly theocratic State.
This significant question settled, it is time to formulate the conceptions of our part and to define the adversaries to fight. In this chapter, we will be in full agreement with the UJFP.
By exploiting anti-Semitism, we are not defending the Palestinian cause, we are fighting it.
The first question to address is that of the exploitation of anti-Semitism. It appears in two different ways: first the “  German  ” version, as soon as we criticize Israel, we are anti-Semitic. But there is another, more pernicious one. Here is what the famous call of the 50 (Golem/Ecolos) says, for example: “  Also, talking about Zionism as Emergency Palestine does, not for what it is, namely a movement aiming at the formation of a Jewish national home, crossed by currents ranging from the anti-colonial extreme left to the religious fascist extreme right, but to denounce the weight of Zionism at the global level is part of the continuity of a rhetoric appealing to numerous anti-Semitic tropes.  ". We will pass over the erroneous characterization of Zionism; as we said above, Zionism is an entirely colonialist movement. The reformists and left-wing opportunists here attack those who think that Zionism has well-placed agents in Western imperialist governments, which would explain the unconditional support of these powers and in particular of dominant imperialism for the massacre perpetrated by Israel. This is obviously not the position of the Communist Revolutionary Party. For us, it is not the Zionists who command Washington, but it is, on the contrary, Washington which commands the Zionists and the State of Israel, which is its affiliate in the Middle East, responsible for controlling oil. and gas and to ensure the division of the Arab world. In 1944, the USA took over from British imperialism, designer in 1907 of the Western buffer state in the Middle East, using Zionism in 1917 to carry out this project. We adopt the formulation of Georges Ibrahim Abdallah: “  the Zionist entity, this organic extension of Western imperialism  ”.
So, what should we think of those who believe in the influence of the “  Zionist lobby ”? While it cannot be ruled out that some are truly anti-Semitic, we believe that the general explanation is quite different. Since the end of the USSR, the ideological decline has been abysmal in our country. How can we understand the reality of the imperialist world when we do not have the tools of Marxism, the reading grid of the class struggle? Those who see the massacre in Gaza, the bullying, dispossession and killings in the West Bank day after day can hardly understand the continued support of Western imperialists for genocidal Israel, including the continued supply of arms and ammunition. So, they look for explanations, that of the influence of a Jewish lobby, although erroneous, appears likely, especially with the current president of the USA, Biden, a long-time close friend of the Zionists. Not everyone knows the Balfour Declaration of 1917, nor the history of Mandatory Palestine from 1919 to 1948! We must patiently explain, provide elements, particularly from history, rather than accusing defenders of the Palestinian cause of anti-Semitism.
We cannot defend the Palestinian cause by repeating the dominant discourse of the Zionists!
Relaying, as the UJRE and the call of the 50 do, the idea of ​​the massacre of October 7 and the accusations of rape, made by the apartheid state alone, without proof, without witnesses is to place oneself in the camp of colonizers. Not attempting to discuss these gratuitous assertions, to doubt the dominant ideology, as Marx advised, is to accept and spread the discourse of occupation.
Especially when we are dealing with the State of Israel, all of whose leaders, throughout its history, have lied. We mentioned the original lie: “  A people without land for a land without people  ”, it has corrupted the words of all Israeli leaders since 1948. To those who think that the Israeli left would have less colonial positions than those of the right and the fascists, we recall these words of Golda Meir, Labor prime minister, in 1969: “We are  asked to liberate the occupied territories, but we cannot There is no such thing, the Palestinian people do not exist.  ". The lie is also that of 1948, when Ben-Gurion and his friends mocked the UN resolution sharing Mandatory Palestine, conquered the Negev to gain access to the Red Sea, thus sharing what remained of Palestine into two non-contiguous parts and unilaterally seizing 76% of the territory and not 51, as planned by the UN. The lie is above all that of the existence of a Jewish people, the idea that the Ashkenazim are descendants of the Hebrews exiled after 79 in a so-called diaspora of which all honest historians, including Israeli historians like Schlomo Sand , know that it is an invention intended to weave the religious continuum. The Israeli settlers from central or eastern Europe are descendants of the Khazars or the Slavic peoples whom the latter had subjugated. The Khazars, a Turkish people, built, from the end of the 7th to the beginning of the 12th century , an empire which, at its peak, included a vast territory which would seem to correspond to what is today the south of  Russia , Ukraine ,  northern Crimea ,  western Kazakhstan  and several regions of  Transcaucasia  such as the present-day states of Azerbaijan ,  Georgia  and Armenia . They converted to Judaism which they made a state religion, also converting part of their vassals from Slavic and Turkish populations, even Armenians.
Lies again with the Oslo Accords. Israel has obtained the cessation of the Palestinian armed Resistance against the lentil dish of a State which never saw the light of day and turns out to be a Bantustan under the orders of the colonial power. Super lie finally with Netanyahu, declaring during the World Zionist Congress in 2016 that Hitler had not wanted the genocide of the Jews, but that it was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who had suggested the idea to him.
Anyone who does not mention the colonial nature of Israel does not defend the Palestinian cause!
However, as the UJFP says, none of its detractors mention the colonialist nature of the State of Israel. The barricades only have two sides, in a colonial war, you cannot be with both the colonizers and the oppressed, choose your side, comrade!
The denial of the colonial character of the Zionist state and the ongoing war obviously serves the interests of Western imperialists and their trump card in the Middle East. It serves above all to clear Zionism of its profoundly colonialist character, as we saw above with an extract from the tribune of the 50. Finally, it serves to clear the Israelis of their responsibility in this affair. Marx said “  A people who oppress another cannot be free  ”, this is what we are witnessing. Apart from the anti-Zionists, all Israelis seem to be behind Netanyahu in demanding the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip and the absence of a Palestinian state. And how can we not see how organizing a music festival a few leagues from the cage that constituted the Gaza Strip is a provocation, tinged with colonial contempt and willful ignorance of the fate of the oppressed?
The UJRE, in its pamphlet in defense of Israel, writes: "  If we consider that Israeli citizens, whether Jewish or Arab, are 'members' of a colonial and fascist state, as the UJRE writes UJFP, it therefore becomes legitimate to fight this State to eliminate as many members as possible!  ". This first demonstrates the profound misunderstanding of the nature of Israel, and in particular of the fact that Israeli Arabs are second-class citizens, considerably victimized since 1948 and even more so since October 7. This then means missing the colonial question and the responsibility of the Israelis, like that of the French settlers in Algeria. Fighting the colonial state does not mean eliminating the Israelis, but destroying the state in question as it exists, replacing it with a state of another nature.
However, it seems beyond the strength of the social democratic currents to conceive and express this. As Georges Ibrahim Abdallah says: “  There are few voices, in the social-democratic intelligentsia, which remind the thurifers of the system that the colonialist occupier has no legitimacy. The occupation and the occupying army, with everything it brings in its wake, are completely illegitimate. On the other hand, Resistance to the occupier in all its forms is the most legitimate and noble expression of the “right of peoples to self-determination”  .
The demonization of Hamas is an anti-Palestinian and neo-colonialist position
Here is what the UJRE says: “  On the other, a fascist terrorist group, financed by Islamic states, which holds the entire population of Gaza under its diktat and whose absolute dream is to wipe Israel off the map by throwing the Jews into the sea. No sane and at least objective person can claim that this organization campaigns for the right of Palestinians to have a free and independent state.  ".
We said what we thought of those who, in France or elsewhere, in the name of the ideology of the Enlightenment, arrogate to themselves the right to decide who is a Palestinian Resistant and who is not and relay without a image from Epinal on Hamas bullying the Gaza Strip, implied using human shields. In addition to ignorance of reality, this prolongs the denial of the colonial state and is a neo-colonialist position!
As for the 50, they go even further: "  While a number of organizations have rightly recalled the importance of contextualizing the attack of October 7, of situating it in the context of a people subject to a political of the murderous and deadly Israeli far-right, they did not see, or did not want to see, the contextualization and the direct connection between the fundamental anti-Semitism of Hamas on the one hand and the choice of operating mode the other.  ". We note once again that the characterization is that of an extreme right-wing policy and not of a colonial state, but above all that this is part of the logic of shared wrongs.
What does it mean to contextualize Hamas? For the Communist Revolutionary Party, it is a question of analyzing what this organization is, without denying it the right to be part of the resistance, a role which is granted to it by the Palestinian population and all other Palestinian organizations. We have already written: Hamas was created by the Muslim Brotherhood. Today, Hamas is at least three organizations.
The Hamas fringe in exile in Qatar, that of Khaled Mechaal and Ismail Haniyeh, is a subsidiary of Islamist fascists, supported and financed by Qatar. At the time of the imperialist operations to destabilize the Baathist regime in Syria, in the 2010s, Mechaal and his friends left Damascus for Doha and displayed their solidarity with the USA/Israel bloc and their henchmen of the Islamist fascist militias to destroy Syria. It was at this moment that a clear divide emerged within Hamas. Some, notably the Gaza military wing, formed in part by Hezbollah, were on the other side. Since then, it is undeniable that the political and military branches of Hamas in Gaza have adopted a nationalist line, in the sense of Arab nationalism. Yahya Sinwar and Abu Obaida have much more to do with Nasser than with the Muslim Brotherhood.
However, the Communist Revolutionary Party does not agree with the Islamist orientation of Hamas. Furthermore, we have often written about the dangers of a national liberation movement led by the national bourgeoisie represented by both Fatah and Hamas. However, today we believe that the priority is the liberation of Palestine and that this requires the union of all Palestinian organizations, including Hamas. And this union must be done along the path of resistance, without compromise with the occupier, in this sense, the protagonists of the 5 movements which organized the attack of October 7 showed the way.
The collective of 50 also attempts to discredit the attack of October 7 by focusing on the political profile of the victims, particularly in the kibbutzim, where it is not known what part the Israeli army took: “  these organizations paid little attention to the fact that Hamas largely attacked kibbutzim which, it is a known fact, sheltered left-wing activists committed to peace and the recognition of Palestinian rights.  ". It is important to point out that strong military contingents were present in the kibbutzim, and that one of the generals present called in the aviation. But above all, we can shed light on this question in the light of an extract from the film “  Special Sections  ” by Costa Gavras. The communist activists of the Resistance are questioning a new directive from the FTP headquarters which constitutes a turning point: killing German officers. One of them has a doubt: “  Among these people we will target, there are certainly anti-fascists.  ". The future Colonel Fabien replied: “ They may be anti-fascists at home, but here, they are occupiers.  ".
The chimerical two-state solution allows the responsibility of the colonial state of Israel to be concealed
Let us first note that this idea, or that of Israel's right to security, falls under the philosophy of shared wrongs.
Then, it frees itself from an analysis of the Oslo process and its consequences. As the UJFP press release says: “  When the main resistance movements were Fatah and the PFLP, they favored the rise of Hamas. The Oslo Accords turned out to be a huge hoax. The Palestinian division with two rival governments was wanted by the occupier. Hamas' electoral victory in 2006 is a consequence of occupation and colonization.  ". It is important to note that the PFLP returned to its initial position (armed or unarmed resistance and a single secular state) and suspended its participation in the PLO, while the armed wing of Fatah, which supports Marwan Barghouti, is also pronounced, like the famous prisoner for a union of all Palestinian organizations. The recent resignation of the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority is a move in the right direction.
It obscures the strength of the Palestinian Resistance. As Georges Ibrahim Abdallah says: “  Despite this large-scale genocidal aggression against Gaza these days, where in addition to tens and tens of thousands of martyrs and wounded is added the terrible widespread destruction of all habitable space in Gaza, the resistance remains unshakeable, protected and adopted by the popular masses. Gaza will never fly the white flag of capitulation... Neither the Zionists nor any criminal force will ever succeed in breaking the will of the resistance in Gaza . ".
And above all it ignores the fact that the war was born from the unilateral proclamation of the State of Israel. From there come the Naqbah of 1948, the deportations of Palestinians, the occupation of 1967, Israel's complicity in the Black September massacre in 1970 or in that of Sabra and Shatila in 1982, the blockade and the murderous wars against Gaza from 2006, and the current genocide. Not admitting this amounts to being in the camp of the occupiers, the colonialists.
From this observation, the position of the Communist Revolutionary Party is clear. It is not a question of “  throwing the Jews into the sea  ”, but of putting an end to an apartheid, theocratic State, itself entitled “Nation-State of the Jewish people”.
This is why we support the fundamental demands of the Palestinian national liberation movement: an end to Zionist military aggression, the right of refugees to return, the formation of a Palestinian state on the territory of Mandatory Palestine.
