[Marxism] Jerusalem only solution is working class revolution

[yossi schwartz]

The Middle East-the only solution a working class revolution.



Our first duty  as Marxists in Israel is to oppose the oppression of the
Palestinians and show the responsibility of  the Israeli state for actions
of despair like the one that took place today in Jerusalem. While we support
mass actions against Israel we do no think that such actions as of today  aimed
at Israeli civilians advance the just struggle of the Palestinians.



As a matter of fact it gives the Zionist state and the Zionist politicians
the chance to take further oppressive measures against the Palestinians.



Today the  Zionist parliament –the Knesset approved in a preliminary reading
two bills that would enable the government to revoke the citizenship of
Israeli Arabs involved in terror activities as well as that of their
families even if they were not involved at all. In other words it is part of
the transfer of the Arab Palestinians from  1967 occupied Jerusalem.



  .

The bills were proposed by MKs Yuli Edelstein (Likud) and Nissan Slomiansky
(National Union ? National Religious Party), and were approved by an
overwhelming majority in the Knesset.

We denounce these bills and those who stand behind it and those who voted
for it. The blood of the Palestinians as well as of the  Israeli civilians
is on their hands.



We do not know as yet  all the details of this event. Not even the names or
 what were the immediate reasons for the action of the Palestinian youth.
However it will not come as a big surprise for us that he and his families
have been step on by the Israeli state, the city of Jerusalem  the police
and the settlers for a long period.



Unlike  the hypocrites who condemn the Palestinians for acts of despair, we
 who are struggling for a Palestinians workers state from the sea to the
river blame the Zionist state that stole all the land  of the Palestinians
and have oppressed the Palestinians for such a long period  and all of it
supporters and in particular the European and the American imperialist for
this needles death of the Israeli civilians and of the Palestinian youth.



On the eve of presidential elections in the US we are fingering not only
Bush and the Republicans but the democrats as well all of them supporters of
the Zionist state for the tragedy  of today.



Those left leaning people who call  to vote for Obma and see themselves
friends of the Palestinians better use their heads support for Obma is
support for the Zionist state and the further repression of the Palestinians
and needless death of Israeli civilians.



The imperialists whether dressed up as Republicans or Democrats are deadly
enemies of the Palestinians and all other oppressed people. Only the
American working workers  can be the real friends of the oppressed people.
For this reason what is necessary in the US is to struggle for a
revolutionary working class party.

Those who are saying that Obma is better as he will bring an imperialist
peace and peace is better than war, ignore the bloody history of the region
where imperialist peace plans are followed with hot war and many deaths
including children.
