Class Struggle Anarchist Statement on Gaza
Posted on January 14, 2009
A newly released statement from the Workers Solidarity Alliance about the massacre in Gaza (I refuse to use the word “war” because it implies a two way conflict when what is happenning in Gaza is anything but that – the latest count I heard on NPR this morning was over 1,000 Palestinians dead compared to 13 Israeli’s).
Gaza is in flames. Its population terrorized by the incessant bombing of Israeli warplanes against its public and residential districts and even its schools (3). Countless of the Gaza Strip’s mostly impoverished residents are dead, many of these children, women, and the elderly. Many more Palestinians have lost loved ones, have been maimed, both physically and psychologically, and all are living without access to basic necessities, water, food, medical care, etc. All of this as the consequence of the largest military assault (codename: “Operation Cast Lead”) waged by Israeli armed forces since 1967 against the Gaza Strip and its approximately 1.5 million residents.
