Answering the lies and distortions “justifying” Israel’s genocide of Palestinians
Message from @BobAvakianOfficial Revolution 6 Over and over, you hear media mouthpieces of this system (and others) justifying the genocidal actions of Israel by pointing to the attack on Israel by the Palestinian armed force Hamas on October 7 last year (2023), when Hamas killed large numbers of Israeli civilians, including children, and committed other atrocities, while taking hundreds of Israelis hostage. But the crucial events did not begin on October 7, 2023. In establishing the state of Israel, in1948, Israeli forces systematically destroyed hundreds of Palestinian villages, murdering thousands, raping women in large numbers, driving hundreds of thousands from their […]

And look at what the U.S. government—Biden/the Democrats, the whole ruling class—is doing right now to Palestine: backing and aiding Israel in carrying out the slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinian people, including huge numbers of children. I know some people say: “Why should I care about things like Palestine, we’ve got enough problems right here that need to be dealt with.” First of all, you […]

Yes, There Can Be No “Equivalence” Between Israel and the Palestinians—But the Reality Is the Reverse of What Supporters of Israel Insist
by Bob Avakian October 23, 2023 Yes, it is the case, as supporters of Israel continually insist, that there can be no “equivalence” between Israel and the Palestinians—but the reality is the reverse of what these supporters of Israel insist: There is no equivalence between the oppressor nation Israel, and the oppressed nation, Palestine; and the actions of the Israelis are far worse, in a whole different category, than even the atrocities committed by Hamas, because Israel is in a much more powerful position to carry out, and does carry out, such atrocities on a far greater scale and much more frequent basis! The essential […]
