Once again, the murderous Israeli war machine is raining death and destruction on Palestinian workers. This is capitalism in action, slaughtering workers from the Middle East to Ukraine, to Sudan to Colombia. This carnage will continue until the international working class destroys genocidal capitalism with communist revolution. 

Communism will eliminate the need to wage war over natural resources like oil. What's more we will eliminate the use of environmentally destructive energy sources. In communism, everything will be shared and planned collectively by workers to meet the needs of our one international working class. We will have no oppressors—whether Israeli, Palestinian, US, Russian, or Chinese.

These butchers are fighting for world domination but we workers pay the price. Israel's "Operation Protective Shield" with its continual bombing has killed hundreds of Palestinians, including children, and has left over 17,000 civilians homeless.

Israeli Bosses Whip Up Racism, Attack Palestinians

This latest carnage was provoked by the supposed kidnapping of three missing Israeli youth. The Israeli government knew, however, almost immediately that they had actually been quickly killed by two Palestinian nationalists. A few days after they went missing, a car was found with bullet holes and their blood in it. Yet the media repeated the kidnapping lie for over two weeks to whip up racist hysteria among the Jewish population and garner international support for the Israeli bosses' murderous onslaught on Gaza.

Motivated by these lies, some racist Israeli youth, suspected of having links to right-wing extremist groups, kidnapped and burned a Palestinian teenager alive.  The police also beat up his cousin. Hundreds of Palestinian youth were attacked and arrested. Netanyahu tries to justify the oppression of Palestinians and the confiscation of their land and resources by highlighting Israeli suffering and hiding Palestinian suffering

Imperialists Fight for Middle East Oil

This horror is played over and over. Israel, however, has been used as a racist murdering machine to help US imperialism control Middle Eastern oil. This rampage is to try to weaken the China-Russia-Iran axis, US imperialism's main competitor in the region, by attacking Hamas, a client of Iran.

Israel is taking advantage of the fact that Hamas distanced itself from Iran in 2012 by refusing to support Assad and siding with Qatar. In response, Iran cut off its aid to Hamas, creating a crisis for the Islamic nationalist group. This imperialist competition will eventually explode into WWIII.

Hamas' crisis deepened when the defeat of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt further isolated it. The smuggling tunnels between Gaza and Egypt have been closed by the Sisi government. When Qatar's aid failed to materialize, Hamas returned to the Iranian camp. Israel was further emboldened to attack Hamas because Iran is busy dealing with the jihadist ISIS threat in Iraq.

As Usual, US Bosses' Hypocrisy Has No Bounds.

 In spite of Obama calling on Netanyahu to stop his attack on Gaza, the US has militarily supported Israel with $3 billion every year for "self defense."  The F16's and Boeing-made Apache helicopters now being used to bomb and shoot Palestinians came from the US.

Stop Capitalist-Imperialist Killers by Mobilizing for Communism

This murderous attack by the Israeli government on Palestinians is fueling  justified working-class mass anger worldwide against the Israeli fascist government and its traditional US imperialist masters. But waving the flag of the capitalist Palestinian leaders diverts us from the road to workers' liberation from capitalist terror. Instead we need the red flag of communist internationalism and revolution.

Many, including Jews in Israel and worldwide, are organizing against the attacks by the racist Israeli government. Jewish and Palestinian workers have everything in common with each other and nothing in common with the Israeli or Palestinian capitalist bosses. They and other workers worldwide should answer this mass murder of our brothers and sisters in Gaza by fighting for a communist world with no capitalist-imperialist butchers and their junior partners Hamas, Hezbollah, etc.

Racism, nationalism and patriotism are the bosses' tools to win us to unite with them to kill, die and accept the murder of our working class brothers and sisters. But all workers have the same interests. Only by uniting against capitalism, and mobilizing for communism can we end the rule of fascist capitalism-imperialism and build a communist world that the international working class deserves.

As the bosses build their deadly nationalism to prepare for World War III, we must spread Red Flag and communist internationalism.
