Support the Palestinian Struggle for Self-Determination and Just Peace on the 77th anniversary of the nakba

On the 77th anniversary of al-Nakba, the Resist US-Led War Movement stands in unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people in their struggle against settler colonialism, Zionism, and the war of aggression waged by the Zionist entity of "Israel" and the United States against their very existance as a people.

Resist US-Led War on the Palestinian People

On May 15, 1948, nearly 750,000 Palestinians were violently displaced from their homes, and over 20,000 were brutally killed. This day, known as al-Nakba — "the catastrophe" — marks the beginning of a relentless campaign of ethnic cleansing and occupation. Since then, the Zionist regime has continued its war of annihilation against the Palestinian people, propped up by the United States, the primary funder of Israel’s military machine. Today in Gaza, the Nakba continues through the current genocide, armed to the teeth with high tech weapons for mass killing paid for by US foreign military financing and arms sales.

"Israel" is the largest recipient of US military aid in history. Since October 7, 2023 alone, the US has provided over $30 billion in military assistance to support Israel's ongoing assault on Gaza. This aid supplies Israel with lethal weaponry from major US arms manufacturers such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman. As recent as November 2024, Israel signed a $5.2 billion deal with Boeing to acquire 25 F-15 fighter jets — aircrafts that, along with Boeing’s GBU-39 Small Diameter Bombs, have been used extensively to strike civilian infrastructure, including hospitals and schools, during Israel’s renewed genocide campaign following Palestinian resistance operation of al-Aqsa Flood. Just between October and November 2023, "Israel" received 2,000 Hellfire missiles which have been regularly deployed by the Israeli Air Force in its bombardment of the Gaza Strip. These companies shower "Israel" with weapons so as to see them tested and advertized to other militaristic states, making them all complicit in the genocide.

Support the Palestinian Struggle for Self-Determination and Just Peace

Just as they rose in resistance in 1948, the Palestinian people continue to fight back against Zionism and US imperialism. Their armed resistance and any form of protest is branded as “terrorism” by the same imperialist powers that have historically vilified peoples' revolutionary movements. But the ongoing genocide against Palestinians exposes the real terrorists: the "Israeli" state and its chief sponsor and the number one terrorist in the world, the US.

In the face of brutal oppression, the Palestinian people have taken up arms in a just struggle for liberation, sovereignty, and self-determination. These aspirations and the Zionist drive to suppress them are at the center of the conflict, making the Palestinian resistance a genuine force for just and lasting peace. We call on all peace loving people around the world to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their resistance, a resistance rooted in the fight for a just peace, an end to Zionism and US-backed aggressive forces in the region. From rallies and protests to actions targeting weapons manufacturers profiting from the ongoing genocide in Palestine, we build a movement against US-led war and affirm the right of all nations and oppressed peoples to defend themselves against reactionary violence and imperialist aggression.
