THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS

 The amerikkkans and especially the fascist state of israel seem to think that there are no consequences for the genocide they're committing . Well there are, and there will be plenty more.

Shootings in D.C.:
U.S./Israeli genocide in Gaza is the source of all violence – resistance is justified

WW statement

By Workers World Party posted on May 23, 2025

When evaluating the May 21 shooting in Washington, D.C., the past 19 months of Israeli aggression throughout West Asia and especially its slaughter of the civilian population of Gaza with hundreds of thousands of people now facing starvation must be front and center. In those 19 months, despite massive opposition across the U.S. and internationally, both the Democrat and the Republican administrations continued to arm this genocide and aggressively target those who protest.

We in Workers World Party believe that organizing for collective resistance is the most effective weapon against the daily violence of imperialism. But we should never separate ourselves from those who take an action that they are driven to carry out, regardless of the personal cost to themselves. This includes the killing of two Israeli Embassy employees, allegedly by Elias Rodriguez on May 21. 

It is understandable that, like Aaron Bushnell did with his self-sacrifice over a year ago, others would be moved to take their own action in the hope of stopping these horrific U.S.-Israeli war crimes.

U.S. imperialism is a completely violent, repressive and brutal system. U.S. wars, invasions and occupations are responsible for the death of millions — in Korea, Vietnam, Central and South America, in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, in Yugoslavia and Ukraine in Europe and relentlessly for decades in Palestine, with the Israeli state as the willing killer. 

The intentional violence of strangulating U.S. sanctions has threatened  economic ruin to more than 40 countries, including almost all of the countries of West Asia — Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran — and to Afghanistan and across Africa to Libya, Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Mali, Zimbabwe, to Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and many others. 

The U.S. imperialist state also exercises this violence within its borders. The U.S. today has the world’s largest prison population, on average three police murders every day and raids and round-ups of migrants — all while criminalizing and threatening to shut down every form of public mass opposition.

U.S. imperialism is the main funder of and provides the most arms to the horrific Zionist genocide we see daily on our screens. 

You reap what you sow!

Acts of resistance, even individual acts, are inevitable and deserve support and defense, not lectures against individual violence in the midst of this genocidal, massive destruction. 

The two slain employees of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, were official representatives of the Israeli state. They are accountable for its genocide. While the corporate media practically presented the two as lovers of peace, they were fervent defenders of the non-stop Zionist violence in Palestine. 

Lischinsky, a Christian Zionist and German citizen, enlisted in the Israel Occupation Forces. He has published tweets on X attempting to justify Israeli mass starvation, targeting of children and bombing hospitals, schools and U.N. convoys in Gaza. In other words, he cheered on the genocide.

Elias Rodriguez stated in a manifesto explaining his act of political protest, “The atrocities committed by Israelis against Palestine defy description and defy quantification.” He shouted, “Free Palestine!” at the scene. (For Rodriguez’s statement, see workers.org/2025/05/85786/)

All acts of resistance to the genocide in Gaza, a genocide exposed to the world, deserve to be defended by the movement as a whole.

Let’s focus all attention on the source of the violence — U.S. imperialism and its violent proxy force, Zionism.

IF YOU CAN STILL DEFEND THIS, YOU'RE FUCKED

 Trying to justify self-defense is one thing, but if you are still saying that what the fascist israeli government and army is doing in Gaza is justified, then you just don't have a fucking clue.

Children, Civlians Burned Alive as Israeli Warplanes Target School, Home in Gaza

May 26, 2025 News

By Palestine Chronicle Staff  

Eyewitnesses described a hellish scene of flames and screams after Israeli warplanes struck sites sheltering civilians.

At least 50 Palestinians were killed on Monday morning in two Israeli airstrikes that targeted a school sheltering displaced people in Gaza City and a residential home in Jabaliya, northern Gaza.

A medical source told Anadolu news Agency that the death toll from the strike on the Fahmi al-Jarjawi School in Gaza City’s al-Daraj neighborhood had risen to 30. The school had been sheltering dozens of displaced families.

Eyewitness videos circulated online showed horrifying scenes of burned bodies—many of them children—as tents surrounding the school were engulfed in flames. 

Al-Aqsa TV and other local sources reported that a fire swept through the shelter following the bombing. One report described the scene: “Charred corpses and the screams of displaced people engulfed in flames were seen and heard from the site.”

The Israeli military later confirmed the strike, claiming the school had been converted into a “Hamas command and control center,” though no evidence was provided to support the allegation.

In a separate incident, 19 more people were killed and others wounded in an Israeli airstrike on a multi-story residential building in Jabalia town, northern Gaza, according to medical sources. 

Eyewitnesses reported that the building, which was housing dozens of displaced families, was completely destroyed.

Meanwhile, Al-Jazeera reported that casualties from the Gaza City school attack were transported to Al-Ma’amdani and Al-Shifa hospitals amid collapsing health conditions across the Strip.

In central Gaza, an Israeli drone strike on a kindergarten sheltering displaced civilians in the Maghazi camp killed at least one person and wounded several others.

These attacks come amid a broader escalation in Israeli bombardment. 

On Sunday, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported that 32 Palestinians were killed in airstrikes across the Strip, from Beit Lahia in the north to Khan Yunis in the south.

The Israeli military also claimed that three rockets were fired from southern Gaza on Monday toward surrounding areas. One was reportedly intercepted, with the army noting eight total rocket launches over the past week.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel—backed by the United States—has carried out a relentless military campaign across the Gaza Strip. Over 175,000 Palestinians have been killed or wounded, the vast majority women and children. 

More than 14,000 remain missing under the rubble, and hundreds of thousands have been forcibly displaced.

CANADA THE UK AND FRANCE ARE LYING FUCKING HYPOCRITES

 So where the fuck is the line drawn, or is it at all ? Starvation ? Bombing hospitals ? Total fucking genocide ? And now these three countries so solemnly and pompously declare that there will be " concrete actions " as the fascist fucking state of israel continue with their murderous rampage.

This was just reported on March the 25th :

A report published yesterday by Project Ploughshares reveals that Quebec-based General Dynamics (GD-OTS-Canada) is contracted to produce $78.8M CAD worth of artillery propellants for the United States, of which part will be supplied to Israel. The product is a specific type of explosive fuel needed to launch 155mm artillery shells, which have been heavily used by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza, and GD-OTS-Canada is the sole provider to the US. The contract was brokered by the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) in September 2024, only two weeks after Minister Joly blocked a similar sale of 50,000 “high explosive” mortar cartridges from the same company following pressure from human rights groups. At the time, Joly issued an explicit promise to block all weapons and components from being “sent to Gaza,” including via the United States.

The lies just don't fucking end.

Fuck kkkanada, the uk, and france. Fuck imperialism.

Yes, the UK does supply arms to Israel. While not a major supplier like the US, the UK has licensed numerous arms exports to Israel, including components for military aircraft and weapons systems. Despite some recent suspensions and a decrease in the value of licensed exports, the UK continues to allow British companies to sell arms to Israel. 

Macron assured over the weekend that France had ceased transferring arms to Israel.

That claim is backed by data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, which shows no French exports of arms to Israel since 1998.

However, France has continued to supply parts to Israel that could be used in its own domestic production of arms.

Israel has reportedly ramped up domestic production to reduce dependencies on foreign suppliers, as countries delay or threaten to cease arms transfers to the country.

French investigative media Disclose revealed in June that Paris had supplied equipment for the production of Israeli drones used in the offensive on Gaza.

VOICES FROM THE GENOCIDE

 

Voices from the Genocide

Amer Mohammed Rabea was 14 years old. He was a U.S. citizen. On 7 April 2025, he was shot and killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank city of Turmus Ayya. There was no warning. No investigation. Just a bullet, a body and a silence so deep it threatens to swallow justice whole.

The killing of a child should rupture the world. Instead, Amer’s death joined a growing ledger of erased Palestinian lives, tallied but never mourned by those in power. There was no state department briefing. No congressional statement. No public grieving for a child born under two flags, killed under a third. Even in death, Amer was made stateless.

Since October 2023, at least 17,000 Palestinian children have been killed in Gaza. The UN now confirms that at least 100 children have been killed or injured every single day since Israel resumed its offensive in March 2025....

But this war is not just about death. It is about the systematic erasure of Palestinian life—its rhythms, its generations, its futures. It is, as one UN official warned, the creation of conditions of life incompatible with the continued existence of Palestinians as a group....

Starvation is slow violence, and collectively starving 2 million further proves Israel’s genocidal intentions. Starvation begins with fatigue and confusion and ends with organ failure and silence. It kills children first, because their bodies have less to lose. And in Gaza, that silence is growing....

Even in death, Palestinian children are punished. Bodies are withheld. Burials restricted. Flags banned. Schools interrogated. Grief criminalized....

The U.S. funds Israel’s military to the tune of $3.8bn a year. The bombs that collapse Gaza’s homes are American. The bullets that pierced Amer Rabea’s chest are American. And still, there is no accountability. No consequence. Only more weapons, more blank checks, more diplomatic cover.

To kill a child is to erase a future. When a child dies, a world ends. This is not just about bodies. It is about memory. About denying Palestinians the right to imagine tomorrow. What is left of a people who cannot bury their dead, teach their children or name their grief?

Israel knows this. It bombs archives and universities. It targets schools and hospitals not just because they house people, but because they carry meaning. A population deprived of memory and future is easier to govern. Easier to erase….

Amer had a name. He had a smile. He was loved. He was real. And now, he is gone.

We owe him more than silence. We owe Gaza’s starving children more than silence.

Have you been silent?

FULL SCALE GENOCIDE

 If anyone is offended by people calling israel a fascist state then it's time to pull your head out of your ass.

These genocidal fascists are putting into effect what they had planned all along, and it never had anything to do with bringing home the hostages.

They knew what Hamas were planning and were told in advance of the operation.

And now we have full scale starvation , mass murder of children , and the complete elimination of anything remotely Palestinian in Gaza. All with the blessing of the western powers, particularly the u.s.a. 

Imperialism is the enemy of the people of the world.

Israel Launches “Final Solution” In Gaza 

Palestine’s Existence Hangs in the Balance… What Are YOU Going to Do?

May 19, 2025

WARNING: One of the most towering crimes of humanity in recent decades is about to be committed. Israel—with the active support and inspiration of the fascist Trump regime—has announced plans to forcibly expel, on pain of starvation and murder, the Palestinian population of Gaza. This must not stand!

At a meeting last Sunday of Israel's governing body, the Knesset, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made clear that the intention of his regime is to make Gaza unlivable, forcing the surviving Palestinians to leave, in a second Nakba, and never be allowed to return: “We are destroying more and more homes, and Gazans have nowhere to return to. The only inevitable outcome will be the wish of Gazans to emigrate outside of the Gaza Strip... The main problem is finding countries to take them in.”

In other words, either leave… or die.

The "Nakba" means the catastrophe in Arabic. It refers to the founding of Israel in 1948 where the racist, Jewish supremacist Zionists unleashed a massive wave of violence and terror against the Palestinians who had inhabited the land for centuries. About 750,000 Palestinians—more than 80 percent of the population in what would become the state of Israel—were expelled or fled and became refugees. Some 400 Palestinian towns and villages were either completely destroyed or repopulated by Jewish settlers and given new Hebrew names.

This is Israel's clear intent. And it's being backed, funded and fueled by the U.S., with Trump fascism now in power. After 19 months of genocidal onslaught, Palestinian life and society in Gaza hang by the thinnest of threads. Now Israel has launched its “concluding moves”—the second Nakba to snuff that life and society out, permanently. 

This is not hyperbole. We’ve been witnessing a world-historic crime against humanity, and now it could mean the end of Palestinian life in Gaza—unless masses of people around the world, especially in the U.S., find their voices and courage to massively oppose and stop this. 

Israel’s Trump-Greenlighted “Gideon’s Chariots”—Chariots of Genocide

Netanyahu promised that "In the coming days, we are going in with full force to complete the operation... we are going all the way." And again, he made clear that "all the way" meant relocating whoever survives the massive bombing campaign to other countries "willing to take them in. That's what we're working on right now."

Netanyahu says Israeli army to enter Gaza 'with full force' in coming days

These are what Netanyahu says are Israel's "concluding moves" of the genocide in Gaza, which they are calling operation “Gideon’s Chariots.” This involves a massive deployment of Israeli forces across Gaza and mass destruction of any remaining buildings in Gaza. Their aim is the “conquest of the Gaza Strip.” They intend to seize and hold territory, occupying Gaza indefinitely. They are forcing all the Palestinians in Gaza—in the north, central, and south—into the devastated hell-scape along the Egyptian border that used to be the city of Rafah. How would Israel do this? Through “wide-scale” attacks and the destruction of all of what remains of Gaza’s infrastructure—its homes, schools, hospitals, farms, bakeries, and more.1

Israel’s rulers say they are implementing Trump’s plan, announced in February, to “own” and rebuild Gaza into “the Riviera of the Middle East”—with no Palestinians allowed. Last Sunday, Netanyahu (aka Netan-Nazi) said Israelis will not be moved into Gaza because the U.S. is still "interested in taking control." Trump also repeated his talk of taking over Gaza during his Middle East trip last week, and on May 16, NBC News reported, “Trump administration working on plan to move 1 million Palestinians to Libya.”2

Israel’s Operation Launches with Drastic Escalation of Slaughter and Starvation

The bombardment throughout Gaza has been staggering with the number of people murdered rising every day. Social media accounts from within Gaza are filled with people saying goodbye to their family and followers: 

“Over 10 airstrikes hit at the same damn time!! They're wiping out whole neighborhoods like its nothing!” “The tanks have surrounded us, people, we are dying” “consecutive air strikes are hitting the city from all directions.” “The bombing on the Gaza Strip has been ongoing for three hours without pause, with unprecedented intensity as if it’s the first day of the war. Explosions shake the ground, smoke fills the sky, and the scene brings back memories of those early days we thought had passed.” “And with these words, I say goodbye to you too. I won't survive the night-I can feel it deep within me.”3

“The number of people killed in Israeli military strikes has significantly increased in the last week,” Haaretz reported. “From Sunday [May 11] to Tuesday, approximately 20 to 50 people were killed every day. According to authorities in Gaza, at least 70 Palestinians were killed on Wednesday and 120 were killed on Thursday.” Then, in the space of 24 hours (May 16-17), at least 146 people were killed. 

A spokesperson for Gaza’s Civil Defense described Israeli forces intensifying their “indiscriminate bombings, striking inhabited homes without warning and targeting ambulance crews attempting to reach survivors.”4

Israel bombed two hospitals in Khan Younis, Nassar Hospital and European Hospital, shutting down Gaza’s only hospitals serving the territory’s 10,000 cancer patients. Since October 2023, the World Health Organization had recorded 686 Israeli attacks on health facilities in Gaza, including damaging at least 33 of Gaza’s 36 hospitals. Attacking hospitals is a war crime.

This gives a glimpse of the further horror promised by Trump and Netanyahu. 

Whether you’re in “shelters, tents or buildings… evacuate to the south immediately”

Whether you’re in “shelters, tents or buildings… evacuate to the south immediately.” These were the threatening mandatory evacuation orders issued by the Israeli military across much of northern Gaza. Drop Site News described what people were forced to endure: 

The scenes of mass displacement on Wednesday [May 13] were like a slow-moving human flood flowing through destroyed streets. The roar of warplanes combined with the buzzing drones overhead. Men carried what little belongings they could: torn sleeping mats, dusty blankets, and tattered bags. Women walked behind them, carrying or followed by children. Some of the children were walking barefoot, and others dragged their school bags filled with clothes and a few bottles of water. 

Drop Site reported, “Footage obtained by Al Jazeera documented Israeli forces targeting and killing civilians attempting to flee with artillery fire.”

Razing the “Safe Haven” of Rafah

As planned, Palestinians in Gaza are being forced to flee with nowhere to go. 

In 2024, some one million people in Gaza fled to the southernmost city Rafah to escape Israel’s onslaught. Now as part of “Gideon’s Chariots,” Israel is razing it to the ground—leaving no structure standing. The New York Times reports that satellite images they analyzed show “that the Israeli military has flattened large areas in and around the city of Rafah and built new military infrastructure in the last two months.... The recent destruction is much more far-reaching, flattening mosques, schools, greenhouses and even greenery." 

“Israel Blockade Is a Tool of Extermination”

Palestinians struggle to get some food in Jabalia, May 15, 2025.    Photo: AP

As all this is taking place, Israel’s total blockade of food, water, medicine and other necessities is continuing and massive starvation is not only looming larger, it’s already arrived. Aid organizations have run out of food, and over 500,000 people in Gaza are facing starvation. Children—repeat: CHILDREN—are being starved to death. 

Aid officials are warning that this Israeli-made famine is rapidly growing more severe by the day. On top of this, 75 percent of Gazans have no access to drinkable water. All of this could be easily and immediately prevented because miles of aid trucks are lined up at Gaza’s borders and ready to roll in. Israel just won’t let them.5

Israel has even prohibited the nutrient supplements and therapeutic food used to treat malnutrition from entering Gaza! The organization Human Rights Watch concludes, “Israel’s blockade has transcended military tactics to become a tool of extermination.”

Whatever Their Differences, Trump Is All In on Ethnic Cleansing

Leading into and during Trump’s four-day trip to the Middle East, there was rampant speculation, in the Israeli media in particular, that Trump and the U.S. had real differences with Israel’s government over the region and Gaza, and were pressuring Israel to agree to a new ceasefire deal in Gaza. 

It is beyond the scope of this article to dig into what differences the Trump/MAGA fascist regime may—or may not—have with the Netan-Nazi government, over regional strategy or over Gaza, and what those differences may be. 

However, at this writing, the main facts are these:

• Israel escalated its slaughter when Trump was right in the area and Trump has made no criticism of the open mass killing. His regime did not object when Israel launched its “Gideon’s Chariots” operation.
• Trump has repeated his calls for U.S. control of Gaza after Israel ethnically cleanses all the Palestinians: “I have concepts for Gaza that I think are very good, make it a freedom zone, let the United States get involved and make it just a freedom zone,” Trump said, adding: “I’d be proud to have the United States have it, take it, make it a freedom zone.”
• After Trump returned, news leaked that his regime was exploring sending one million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya—where a war between different ruling factions is continuing and conditions for the masses of people are terrible.
• At Sunday’s Knesset meeting, when asked by an opposition party member about possible differences with Trump, Netanyahu responded, “Remember the words—we don't agree on everything, but nothing will happen that will pose a risk to Israel, and there will be no Palestinian state.”
• As we go to press, various negotiations are taking place involving Israel, Hamas, the U.S. and other countries in the region and beyond as Israel's atrocities unfold. This may result in a temporary ceasefire. We don’t know where this could end up, but Netan-Nazi is making his determination clear: “There will be no situation where we stop the war.  A temporary ceasefire might happen, but we are going all the way.”

U.S.-Israeli “Surveillance Humanitarianism”

Finally, one thing that apparently did get concretized and agreed on between the U.S. and Israel this past week was the creation of a U.S.-based Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. This is supposedly going to bring food and other aid into Gaza. However, as we analyzed last week in Israel Announces Its Own “Auschwitz,” this scheme is not going to end hunger in Gaza. 

Alex de Waal, an expert on starvation, argues that even if the U.S. plan goes ahead, “It’s pretty clear the conclusion is mass starvation would still unfold, just somewhat more slowly.... this sort of individually targeted surveillance humanitarianism is keeping individuals and families alive, but dismantling the entire structure of society.” 

In short it would help facilitate—not stop—Trump’s “vision” for Gaza and Israel’s genocide!6

"The moment demands it"

Calling for people in the U.S. to speak out and against the escalating genocide, the journalist Zack Beauchamp wrote: 

...if there’s a moment for renewed public attention, it’s now. This time really is different: The coming days and weeks could very well decide whether there will be Palestinian life in Gaza after the war in any meaningful sense. Ordinary Americans don’t control Israel’s government or the Trump administration, but they do retain the capacity to express moral outrage. The moment demands it.

Israel's ramped up and open genocide of the Palestinian people. Trump's open support of this, and expressed desire to control Gaza. Trump's vicious repression of pro-Palestinian protesters and attempt to criminalize all protest against this genocide. 

No, we do not “control” these things. But what we do—or do not do—will either give all this a green light, through our silent complicity. OR we will act—in mass, sustained, nonviolent but determined protest—to demand this nightmare STOP. 

And as we wrote recently: 

With fascism rapidly accelerating, the attack on academic freedom AND the attack on the anti-genocide, pro-Palestine movement are closely intertwined. The protests of the past nearly two years are exactly the kind of thing the Trump regime wants to stamp out, as part of their overall assault. All this must be fought—and must involve people coming together from different perspectives and viewpoints behind the unifying demand: The Trump Fascist Regime Must Go—NOW!

Stop the U.S./Israeli Genocidal Slaughter of the Palestinian People!

In the Name of Humanity, We Refuse to Accept a Fascist America
