This week, Professor Jodi Dean was dismissed from Hobart and William Smith Colleges over her article in support of Palestinian armed resistance. This is just the latest in a series of attacks on student and academic supporters of Palestine in the US as the ruling class defends the genocidal status quo.
The profound courage and shocking power of Aaron Bushnell’s self-martyrdom has electrified the movement for a free Palestine, while the bourgeois media obfuscates his protest against genocide and questions his mental health.

Firebrand stands firmly with Palestinians in their national liberation struggle, and with those who support them. This position is justified not only by a radicalizing mass movement, but by the best of the Marxist tradition.
