More than 500 civilians have been killed and nearly 2000 civilians have been wounded in the latest Israeli strike targeting the southern regions of Lebanon, including the country’s capital Beirut. This was recorded as the deadliest attack in recent years in terms of scale.
The reactionary, fascist Netanyahu government's war policy, which has led to the massacre of more than 40,000 people in Palestine, this time moving to Lebanon and targeting the southern regions of the country in particular, is a clear proof of Zionist expansionism in the Middle East and a concrete indication of Israel's desire for a regional war.
Obviously, to reduce expansionism and warmongering to the Israeli government alone is nothing but a meager idea. In the Middle East, Israel acts as the battering ram of imperialism, especially the USA, and as a local branch of imperialist expansionism and war policies.
It must be emphasized once again that the reactionary, fascist and genocidal policy justified as “we are fighting against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon” has at its core the regional plans of imperialism and Israel's policy of massacre should not be given credit under any circumstances.
Today, Israel is targeting a national liberation struggle with strong historical roots in Palestine, and Lebanon, a sovereign state, as a whole. This once again reveals that it will never favour even a two-state solution in Palestine.
Let us not be fooled by the hypocritical policies of Israel and imperialism. Were they not the ones who fed and supported the jihadist terrorist organizations in Syria until yesterday?
Let us not believe the crocodile tears and fake solutions of US imperialism. While Israel was committing one of the biggest massacres in history in Gaza, it was they who gave the biggest assurance to this genocide with the warships they brought to the Mediterranean.
Also, let us not forget the "Zionist Islamists" in our country who start every speech by saying "O Netanyahu!" and continue to do business with Israel and make this a state policy.
For the liberation of the working peoples in the Middle East, the struggle against imperialism's interventions in the region, against the expansionism and war policies of the reactionary, fascist Israeli government and against its collaborationism with imperialism is of utmost importance.
No to war!
Down with imperialism, down with Zionism!
