Letter to the Comintern (SH)
20 October 2023
Dear Comrades,
I've been closely following the events in Israel and Gaza.
This was inevitable. There was only so much barbarity, so many bombings and murders, abuse and starvation the Gazans living under Israel's fascist blockade could take before it boiled over and smashed the border that the Israeli government had thought to be impenetrable. This deeply humiliated Netanyahu's government and shook them to the core and its little gang of fascists, Kahanists, and religious maniacs, joined by the social-fascist political parties who have gone full war hawk and formed a unity government, are out for blood and to finally achieve what the Zionists and Israel have dreamed of from day one, the ethnic cleansing and genocide of all Palestinians from Palestine. The Final Solution to the Palestinian Question.
The Israeli forces have responded by declaring a state of war and indiscriminately bombing the Gaza Strip and collectively punishing the 2.3 Gazans living there. They have implemented a full blockade on food, water, fuel, etc. on the population and have ordered over 1 million people to relocate to the southern part of the Strip (it should also be pointed out that most Gazans are ALREADY refugees with nowhere else to go), bombing them as they attempt to flee. They've also been bombing the Rafah border crossing, the same one they told Gazans that they could flee through.
The Gaza Strip has less than 24 hours worth of emergency supplies such as food and water. Israel has blocked ALL efforts to relieve the 2.3 million people.
Over 70% of Gazans, including 50,000 pregnant women and newborn infants, don't have access to medical supplies or care. Israel is indiscriminately bombing hospitals, including the bombing of the al-Ahil Hospital that killed over people, and have ordered 21 Gazan hospitals to move. At least 4 hospitals have been shutdown due to bombings.
The only power plant ran out of fuel and shut off, leaving Gazans without electricity since the 11th of October causing desalination plants to shut off, depriving the Gazans of running water.
Over 600 people in the West Bank have been arrested by Israeli forces without explaining why they were targeted.
Numerous Palestinian journalists have been murdered by the IDF
At least 50 families were COMPLETELY wiped out.
Attacks are also extending to Palestinians elsewhere. In Illinois, 6-year-old Wadea al-Fayoume was stabbed to death while his mother was stabbed and severely wounded by a maniac inspired by Israel's attacks.
Now, more than ever before, the Israeli government has reared its ugly, rotten, Hitlerite head with its war crimes and it is all there for the entire world to see, and millions of people are watching the genocide take place right in front of them. What they also see are the imperialist governments and their lackeys defending and shielding their faithful rabid dogs from any criticism or accountability. The hasbara propagandists and Zionist lobbyists are working overtime and the imperialists have expressed their full support for Israel's genocide, Biden echoed claims of Hamas beheading 40 babies (which was debunked by the journalist who reported it herself), and the so-called democracies like Germany, the rotten two-faced government that says "Never again!", attacks and brutalizes protestors
(https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vwFCDK3Y_Ac).
Despite all these efforts and doubling down and attacking the Palestinians and their supporters, it has not deterred the supporters. Thousands have taken to the streets throughout the United States, the UK, France (where the government banned pro-Palestine protests), Germany, the Philippines, the Arab World, and many other countries. Israel is committing genocide and the whole world is watching and will not stand by and let it happen. But these protestors and their amazing display of proletarian internationalism can do little without the leadership of an organized world communist party.
Now that the elephant in the room has been addressed, it is time we also take our attention to the traitors of the Palestinians and their fight for freedom. The Palestinians lack a leadership that genuinely seeks their liberation. They only currently have the "freedom" to either choose between the plague of suicidal, Islamofascist Hamas, or the cholera of social-fascist, bootlicking Fatah. The former is a puppet of Iran and is being used by the Islamofascists in Tehran to further their chokehold on the Middle East while the latter is an Israeli puppet who stands by and lets the IDF and settlers murder and steal their way through the West Bank. They are both insults to the Palestinian people. Nationalism, Islamism, and social-fascism are all cancers that only prolong the misery and those parties, along with the now smaller ones like the PFLP, must be eliminated and replaced by the only party that shows the path to liberation, the Comintern (SH).
And what of the Arab bourgeoisie? They are all garbage. Al-Sisi, Mohammed bin Salman, King Muhammed VI, and Muhammed bin Zayed are all useless whores who sell their countries to Israel, but now have to pay lip service and offer empty words to the Arab masses to avoid ending up like Qaddafi or Mubarak. And the others like Bashar are equally worthless and subservient to imperialist powers with just as much contempt for the Palestinians as Israel.
As for the reply to the Egyptian, I agree with the Comintern (SH)'s position regarding the Israeli proletariat. Was it not Marx who famously said that "A nation that enslaves another forges its own chains."? In my opinion, we must take a firm, Stalinist-Hoxhaist stance based upon almost 200 years of revolutionary, communist experience and upon the genius of Lenin and Stalin's solutions to the National Question. When we say "Proletarians of all countries, unite!", we mean
PROLETARIANS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!
There must be unity between the Arab and Israeli workers and they must overthrow their fascist dictators and liberate themselves and the world. Are the Palestinian and Jewish working masses not both victims of dispossessions, genocides, persecutions, abuses, and all of the evils committed against them by reactionary forces? The land of Palestine belongs to all those who build it, to all those who wish to live in peace with each other and build the future, to all those who wish to return home after decades of living in refugee camps and finally rebuild what they and their ancestors had lost to the Zionists, the British, and all the oppressors of before and today. If one worker is still in chains, then none of us are free.
The message from the Egyptian reminds me of this quote by Comrade Hoxha and it still applies today:
"The fight against Israel - the most blood-thirsty tool of US imperialism - which has become a great stumbling block to the advance of the Arab peoples, is a common problem for all these peoples. In practice, however, not all the Arab states are of one mind about the struggle they should wage jointly against Israel and about the character this struggle against their common enemy should have. Frequently, some of them see this struggle from a narrow nationalist angle.
"We cannot agree with such a stand. We stick to our stand that Israel must withdraw to its own lair and renounce its chauvinist, provocative, offensive and aggressive attitudes and actions against the Arab states. We demand that Israel give up the territories of the Arabs, that the Palestinians gain all their national rights, but we can never accept that the Israeli people should be wiped out."
(On a side note, many people more recently also see the struggle from a narrow religious view with the rise of religious extremism.)
The Egyptian should remember to separate the Israeli proletariat from the fascists who also rule over them, the ones murdering the Palestinians and causing wars in the Middle East. If he can't, then he is no comrade.
In any case, this is one of the most naked and horrific consequences of world imperialism and chauvinism. Imperialism means war. It is time we finally brought the war back to them.
Long live the proletariat of Israel and Palestine!
Free Palestine! End the Apartheid! End the Occupation!
Down with Zionism! Down with Islamism! Down with fascism and social-fascism!
Down with the Zionist fascists and the Palestinian sell-outs to the world bourgeoisie!
Down with the Arab bourgeoisie and the world imperialists!
Long live the Comintern (SH)! Long live Stalinism-Hoxhaism!
Long live the World Proletarian Revolution!
For a free and socialist world!
Red World Front!
Comrade Ernest
