Part of our perspectives series on major issues, this piece addresses the ongoing genocide in Palestine, its effects on the region and the US, and what approach communists should take in organizing against US imperialism. The societal crisis wracking Israel together with an unprecedented Palestine solidarity movement suggests the potential collapse of the Zionist project in our lifetimes, even in the face of increasingly draconian crackdowns against activists.
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. It is vitally important to honor Bushnell’s sacrifice for its political and moral clarity, and to contextualize it within the mass radicalization of workers and the oppressed.
The demand for a free Palestine has never been more popular. But what would it actually take to achieve that goal? Is it even possible under capitalism? A look at other historic liberation struggles, and an assessment of Israel’s place in the imperialist order, shows us that only a global struggle against capitalism united with a workers’ revolution in the Arab nations of the region can overthrow Zionism once and for all.
