Condemn the Zionist state’s resumption of genocidal war

The Communist Party of Australia (Marxist-Leninist) condemns in the strongest possible terms the Israeli Zionist state’s resumption of its genocidal war to eliminate Palestinians in Gaza.

An initial estimate of 400 killed by Israeli bombing of many areas including refugee camps and health centres, has now been revised by Hamas to as many as 900, including 174 children.

The Nazi-like Israeli state always says that it is targeting Hamas militants but in fact its primary aim is to depopulate both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank so that the governing Likud Party can achieve its stated aim of Israeli rule from the river to the sea.

The resumption of bombing followed Israel’s decision in early March to suspend food, water and electricity supply to Gaza in an attempt to stare the population into submission.

The war criminal Netanyahu boasted that his latest crimes had the full support and encouragement of Trump, and the latter displayed that support with bombing of Yemen’s Houthis.

There is simply no end to the bloodlust of Netanyahu and his Zionist cronies.

He had never intended to honour the ceasefire agreement that took effect last January 19 and could not wait to reopen his war of annihilation of the Palestinian people.

Trump recently approved the delivery of $3 billion worth of bombs, missiles and other weapons to Israel. It undermined the ceasefire agreement by supporting the Israeli demand that the Palestinian forces release all its prisoners immediately, contrary to the scheduled releases agreed upon in the ceasefire agreement.  Trump’s ambition to place Gaza under US ownership and development as a coastal resort for billionaires built over the bones of 60,000 civilians (including 17,500 children) is an obscenity that outrages decent humanity.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine asserted that “the occupation has committed its crimes and massacres in Gaza with prior planning as part of a comprehensive war of extermination.”

The Front called on “all international parties to take immediate action to stop the war of extermination in Gaza.”

We are confident that Australians will support that call. 

We acknowledge the growing protests in Israel against Netanyahu and his policies. Two days ago, more than 40,000 took to the streets of Tel Aviv chanting “The time has come to topple the dictator”.

We condemn Foreign Minister Wong’s failure to identify Israel as the criminal violator of the ceasefire.  She has blamed both sides equally, calling on “all parties to respect the terms of the Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal”.

The reality is that one side has and one side hasn’t.

Wong contradicted herself within the space of one sentence, following up her call to respect the terms of the hostage deal by saying “Terrorist group Hamas must release all hostages immediately, unconditionally and with dignity.”

She can’t have it both ways. And if she had any integrity, she would apply the “terrorist” label to the Israelis.

Back to the streets comrades!

For the survival of Palestine and Palestinians.
