The
Israeli siege of Gaza and imperialist pressure
to retaliate on the Gaza population in order to
isolate Hamas has provoked a major crisis that is shaking the Middle
East. Once again the direct intervention of the masses has changed
the whole scenario, putting into jeopardy the stability of the most important
point of support of US
imperialism in the Arab world: Egypt.
The events in Gaza underline more than ever the barbarism that can emerge from the national conflict in Palestine. Israeli imperialism backed by the US is responsible for this bloody mess. So long as there is no genuine independent voice of the workers on both sides of the divide, we can expect nothing but more bloodshed.
George W. Bush has been visiting the Middle East. He is presently in
Israel to try and promote his latest solution to the conflict: two capitalist states!
These are all words, as US imperialism collaborates with the Israeli ruling
class, as well as the rotten Arab regime, to hold down the masses throughout
the Middle East.
