Arabs and Jews March in Tel Aviv Against Gaza Attack

Saturday, 17 January 2009 20:40

Demonstrations against the criminal Israeli rulers’ attack on Gaza are spreading worldwide, including in Israel itself where some 10,000 Arab and Israeli marchers protested in Tel Aviv as soon as the invasion began. Five hundred residents of Sderot, the town most targeted by Hamas rockets, have signed a petition to stop the Israeli bosses’ violence. Others have been arrested lying down across the entrance to a military airfield. Dissident Israeli vets and reservists have also denounced the invasion.

Meanwhile, the bosses’ media, especially the NY Times, wants us to believe there is virtually no opposition inside Israel. These current protests contrast with the much smaller ones during the 2006 Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

It’s a life-and-death question for workers and their allies in Israel and throughout the Mid-East to stop supporting their own rulers on the basis of religion and nationalism. Behind all the bosses’ talk about “our people” lies the profit interests of the local capitalists and their imperialist backers.

What We Fight For

Progressive Labor Party (PLP) fights to smash capitalism -- wage slavery. While the bosses and their mouthpieces claim "communism is dead:" capitalism is the real failure for billions all over the world. Capitalism returned to the Soviet Union and China because socialism failed to wipe out many aspects of the profit system, like wages and division of labor.

Capitalism inevitably leads to wars. PLP organizes workers, students and soldiers to turn these wars into a revolution for communism -- the dictatorship of the proletariat. This fight requires a mass Red Army led by the communist PLP.

Communism means working collectively to build a society where sharing is based on need. We will abolish work for wages, money and profits. Everyone will share in society's benefits and burdens.

Communism means abolishing racism and the concept of race.

Communism means abolishing the special oppression of women workers.

Communism means abolishing nations and nationalism. One International working class, one world, one Party.

Communism means the Party leads every aspect of society. For this to work, millions of workers -- eventually everyone -- must become communist organizers. Join Us!
