🇬🇷🇵🇸 A Year of Unyielding Palestinian Resistance: Challenging the Zionist Prison of Israel
Barely a year has passed since the Palestinian resistance’s attack against the imperialist prison that the Zionist state of Israel has built for 78 years in the Palestinian territories. A mere year where it was proven once again that the will to resist and rebel can escape the surveillance of every secret service and military superweapon. The resistance of the Palestinians stands as a bright example for the oppressed of this land and a path for the task we have to carry the war to the rear of the western metropolises.
During this time, the murderous state called Israel has murdered over 45,000 Palestinians, displaced most of the population of Gaza from their homes, and continuously blocked the humanitarian aid desperately needed as there is a huge shortage of very basic social goods. Entire city blocks full of civilians are struck under the pretext that Hamas “terrorists” are hiding within them, resulting in thousands of deaths and injuries. As if this brutality were not enough, just days ago Israel launched an all-out attack on the people of Lebanon, again under the guise of “targeted operations” against Hezbollah in Lebanon, but already counting thousands of dead. We are under no illusions about the genocidal role that this state has played for decades as a watchdog of Western interests in the Middle East.
All this time, Israel is not alone but is supported by the entire Western bloc through economic transactions, billions in military equipment supplied by the US, and fuel supplied by large shipowners to refuel tankers participating in the conflicts in the Red Sea. The Greek state has not remained uninvolved in this treaty. Once again, Greece has shown that it supports Israel’s killing machine in practice. Fully attuned to the dictates of NATO and Israel, it provides material and moral support to the operations, carrying out propaganda against “Hamas terrorists” and speaking of Israel’s right to self-defense. The military base in Larissa is being used as a center of operations against the Houthi rebels from Yemen in the Red Sea, while a Greek frigate (Hydra) has been sent to operate against the rebels. The Greek state is complicit in the destruction of health and education infrastructure, in mass murders, and in the continuous attempt to annihilate the Palestinian people, as its cooperation with the state of Israel is longstanding. From the Joint Action Plan of the armed forces of Greece-Cyprus-Israel to investments in research and development of the war industries, the Greek state is complicit.
The period we are going through is particularly critical on a global scale. The conflict now centered around Israel and Lebanon can very easily escalate into a global one. By all means, we must stop the involvement of the Greek state in the genocide that has been ongoing for a year. We must attack the war machine that prepares us daily to become cannon fodder while simultaneously waging war on migrant women for years, seeking to stimulate national unity and homogeneity. From gatherings and interventions that will not stop speaking out against the genocide of Palestinians to more aggressive actions against structures and businesses of Israeli interest, it is necessary to build a multifaceted wave of solidarity with the peoples who resist this monster every day and destroy assets within Greece.
