Throughout this process it allied with, and found sponsorship from, imperialist powers, first the British empire and then the United States, which used Israel as their agent in the struggle against Arab nationalism and socialism.
To establish, maintain, and expand its territory, the Israeli state has had to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their land, homes, and jobs. The Zionist movement from its origins in Europe to its foundation of Israel in 1948 and its displacement of Palestinians today has been a settler-colonial project. This combination of resistance in Palestine and regional revolution is the only realistic way to free Palestine and all the peoples of the region. Socialists should see the Palestinian struggle as inextricably tied to the revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) against all the region’s states, most importantly Israel. These new acts of violence and repression prove why the international left must stand in unconditional solidarity with the Palestinian resistance.īut we also must engage in the strategic debates about how to win liberation and our role in it. Proving this reality, Bennett ordered fresh air strikes on Gaza just a few days after his assumption of power. The new regime’s policy is no different than Netanyahu’s. The replacement of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government by a new coalition led by ultranationalist Naftali Bennett will change nothing for Palestinians. Israel’s recent attacks against Palestinians in Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza demonstrated, once again, the brutal colonial, racist, and apartheid nature of the Zionist state.
