Declaration of newspaper proletari comunisti/PCm Italy - on Palestine

Maximum solidarity with the Palestinian people, with their resistance, with their great armed attack on the State of Israel, at the heart of this State. 

What terrorism? The real terrorism is that of the Nazi-type Zionist state of Israel which, in all these years, so many years, has struck, occupied, invaded, killed, made massacres of all kinds of women, children, young people and transformed Palestine into a great prison in which the masses have been impoverished, ghettoized, persecuted.

In all these years the Palestinian people has resisted, with the development of the anti-imperialist struggle, of the armed struggle of the masses, with the intifada and has paid a very high cost in human lives, the right to have a state. The Palestinians, they yes, were born there and have always been there.

It is clear that where there is oppression there is rebellion. And this new general movement underway in Palestine is first and foremost a great movement of popular rebellion at a time when the Nazi-type Zionist state of Israel had accentuated all the usual characteristics of oppression on all levels.

The Netanyahu government is a reactionary government, condemned even within Israel by a large part of the population for its odious justice reform with which the government, made of corruption and privileges, wants to block any investigation by the judiciary concerning Netanyahu and concerning the ministers and the ruling class it represents.

Everyone said that Netanyahu was marching towards fascism, towards an open dictatorship inside Israel, everyone said that this government, by introducing into its team representatives of the most racist part of the population of Israel, was preparing to unleash a war against the Palestinian people in violation of international law, UN resolutions, human rights.  And he had already begun on this path, he had chosen the path of humiliation, even religious, of the Palestinian masses who are mostly Muslim. 

If oppression increases, oppression does not stop the protest of the popular masses but feeds it and has pushed the Palestinian resistance, currently represented by its majority organization, Hamas, to prepare a new phase of their rebellion and liberation struggle. 

The attack of October 7 was an extraordinary response of the Palestinian people and its most representative organizations to the current phase of oppression of the State of Israel in the service of imperialism, of war. An army considered invincible, taken as a reference by the whole imperialist world and by all the reactionary and fascist governments that oppress their people, from Latin America to Ukraine itself and even in France - on the occasion of the revolt of the workers and proletarian youth of the banlieues the Macron government asked for help and support for its repression from the State of Israel. Wherever there is a need to repress, oppress a people, wherever the organized vanguards of this people must be attacked, the State of Israel never fails to give its support.

A State in the heart of the Arab world to represent Western imperialism, to represent the United States and its control of geostrategic routes and natural resources, to keep the Arab people under oppression, the Arab masses – not just the Palestinian masses – under the iron heel of imperialism. A State made for war and to defend an ideology, Zionism, which considers citizens only those of the Jewish religion and treats as an inferior race everything that is not of the Jewish religion - and does so in its Constitution - an illegitimate State that has violated UN resolutions countless times with the complicity of imperialism and Western powers.

Well, this State has been put in check by the creative armed resistance of the Palestinian masses. Where they thought they had everything under control, where they thought that murderous troops, systems of advanced technology, military super-dominance, could prevent any surprises and could continue the daily dripping of killings of Palestinians, which takes place in the complicit silence of the representative press of those governments that consider Israel's repression normal and natural, they have instead found the strength of a people.

The action of the Palestinian masses and its armed vanguard is said to have taken by surprise, but it was done with poor weapons, certainly with the use of rockets and everything at the disposal of the major resistance organization of the Palestinian people. But it is the infinite creativity of the masses that has allowed an unprecedented attack that has so far brought a high cost, as has never happened in recent years, to the Israeli Zionist State, its government and all that part of the population that supports it.

How can we not be on the side of the Palestinian masses, beyond the imperialist citadels, all over the world? Solidarity has always gone to the Palestinian people, to their armed resistance. All the peoples of the world in struggle, from Latin America, to Asia, to Africa, all the organizations fighting for national and social liberation, are on the side of the Palestinian people. It is the imperialist powers, its ruling classes - its reactionary and anti-people governments that are on the side of the State of Israel.

They have always said, reversing the situation of those who attacked and those who are attacked: "the State of Israel has the right to defend itself". 

Defend against the Palestinian masses? And why? Wouldn't the Palestinian people have this right to defend itself? 

And rightly so, the uprising on Saturday, October 7, attacked the State of Israel even within its borders. But it is clear that it is always part of a resistance that defends itself from the oppression and domination of the Zionist State of Israel and its imperialist godfathers. 

Now more than ever we must be on the side of the Palestinian people, and even those who have expressed words of solidarity, of understanding, for the Palestinian people, must know that this understanding must go to their resistance, to their struggle for liberation. 

We consider that the Palestinian masses - in struggle for so many years - must build the instruments for a genuine struggle for national and social liberation which in our opinion is along the road of the protracted people's war, led by the proletarian classes in Palestine. And that the goal must be a Palestinian state, free, democratic, in which everyone is equal regardless of race and religion, and which puts an end to the odious Israeli Zionist state.

Every attempt to convince the Palestinian people to resign themselves to the eternal domination of the State of Israel and the denial of its right to a free and democratic State was also developed through agreements that were always aimed at ending the resistance of the Palestinian people, of eternalizing Israel's domination. And even when they talk about two States, they think of a dominant state, and an enclave, a state under the tutelage of the Zionist state of Israel.

An unacceptable reality that the State of Israel has never even wanted to accept, because its plans, its programs, its ideology, speak of "greater Israel," a great Israel that occupies all of Palestine and is legitimized by the Arab world as a capitalist power, militarized and armed, with the nuclear weapons it possesses and that makes the State of Israel, one of the powers of the imperialist world. 

On the basis of this design it is the State of Israel, its ruling class, who do not accept the very existence of the Palestinian people, their state, their right, which then extends to the social rights of the Palestinians who even when they work in the State of Israel are treated as second-class workers.

The Israeli government after the attack announced to cut off electricity, fuel, food. The very fact that the State of Israel can cut off electricity whenever it wants to the entire Gaza Strip - and it can do so in the West Bank too - and bring it to conditions of living in the dark, without electricity even in hospitals and everywhere, shows what Israel is, a State that has the power to turn light on and off throughout Palestine. How can such a situation ever be accepted?

The Palestinian masses have tried to rebel in all necessary forms. And they have found neither international solidarity nor real interest - except to restrain them and say not to continue - on the part of the UN or other international institutions. The Palestinian people will never accept this situation, just as the Arab masses of the whole Middle East, North Africa, will not accept it, just as the Muslim masses will not accept it, also because it is their religious faith that for Israel must not exist, those who are not Jews have no right, have no citizenship and under certain conditions are not considered even human beings.

It is against all this that the military action of Hamas has developed, within a dimension of involvement of broad masses, of an almost unanimous support of the Palestinian masses.

We are for protracted people's war, this is the way. The support of the masses for the armed actions that have developed in these days must for us become a people's army, because only a people's army can defeat a super-armed Israel, supported by all the imperialist powers of the world, starting with the United States. 

Italy has fascists in the government: the La Russa, the Meloni, have always been anti-Semites, have developed the maximum persecution of the Jews, have participated in the racial laws. They shared its story. And today they are on the side of the State of Israel because they recognize in this State the stigma, not of persecuted Jews, but of neo-racism, neo-fascism, neo-Nazism. The solidarity of the characters who have always been part of a racist ideology and therefore also anti-Semitic, is a solidarity because it recognizes itself in the current ruling class in Israel, in its governments; Because, albeit in different forms, they carry forward the same ideology, the same mentality, the same form of domination - economic, political, ideological, cultural and practical.

Palestinian resistance is not terrorism. To say terrorism, as the whole universe of mass media has been doing for days is an insult to reason, it is a fake. The only State of Terror that exists in that area is the State of Israel, which has used this terror against the Palestinian people extensively in all forms. The only real terrorism is the bombs, the massive bombing of the Gaza Strip, the house-to-house hunt that Israel, with its armed troops, has always deployed against the Palestinian resistance and in general against the Palestinian masses.

The operation Israel is preparing in response to the attack is said to be tougher than before. The State of Israel wants to respond to the just armed resistance with a genocide of the Palestinian people. 

With a new Shoah? Perhaps the comparison is improper, but the will of the Nazi State of Israel is similar to that of genocide, the ideological, theoretical, cultural, religious logic of the State of Israel has all the characteristics of genocide.

For this reason, the proletarians, the poor masses, must not be deceived by the flood of false information, of distortion of reality, in which those who are oppressors are called oppressed, those who have been attacked and oppressed since the distant post-war period, since the State of Israel existed, are called aggressors.

This lie must be dismantled with solidarity, resistance, counter-information, first of all towards the proletarians, the poor masses, those who want the peoples to be free. This whole universe must take the field more than ever in support of the Palestinian people. 

The State of Israel is one of the supports of imperialist war, of the march towards World War III. 

The Palestinian people, with its resistance, is part of the peoples' war to stop imperialist war, to change and eliminate imperialism, racist, fascist and Nazi states, from the face of the earth, to eliminate the oppression, the misery, which affects a large part of the peoples of the world - and in the Middle East more than ever - while the warlords and oil lords are getting rich.

10-100-1000 initiatives of solidarity in all forms with the Palestinian people, 10-100-1000 initiatives that denounce and unmask the great lie that the press, the televisions, is vomiting on the Palestinian people and their just resistance.
