Stop the Crackdown on Pro-Palestinian Student Protest! Stop the U.S.-Israeli Genocide Against Palestinians!

 

From the Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity:   Stop the Crackdown on Pro-Palestinian Student Protest Stop the U.S.-Israeli Genocide Against Palestinians! Anti-Zionism Is Not Antisemitism From Palestine to the U.S., Revolution, Nothing Less! Across the country, righteous students protesting the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide of Palestinians are being met with vicious, illegitimate repression! At Columbia University, 108 students were arrested, suspended and thrown out of student housing for nonviolently occupying their campus lawn. It matters that in the face of this, more students stepped out to resurrect their encampment! It matters that from Michigan to Minnesota to Texas and California and beyond, students set up sister encampments protesting the genocide in Gaza! Now these brave young people face slander, suspensions, brutality and more than 400 arrests! This comes on the heels of fascist Congressional witch-hunts that drove out the presidents of Harvard and UPenn and drove Columbia’s president to step up her vicious crack-down. What is driving this outrageous repression? And more, why is the U.S. government—both ruling parties—hellbent on backing the intensifying genocide in Gaza which has claimed more than 34,000 lives and driven 2.3 million Palestinians to the brink of starvation? In speaking of the repression now going on against pro-Palestinian students on U.S. campuses, the revolutionary communist leader Bob Avakian (BA) has said: Why is this happening? Because fundamental interests of U.S. capitalism-imperialism are at stake. Because Israel plays a “special role” as a heavily armed bastion of support for U.S. imperialism in a strategically important part of the world (the “Middle East”). And Israel has been a key force in the commission of atrocities which have helped to maintain the oppressive rule of U.S. imperialism in many other parts of the world. And this repression is happening because representatives of the ruling class in this country have a definite sense that if youth especially at “elite” universities begin to seriously question and act against what this system is doing—if the system “loses the allegiance” of large numbers of those students—that can be a big factor in creating a real crisis for the system as a whole, as happened in the 1960s: a crisis that, now more than ever, this system really cannot afford, when the whole country is already being torn apart by deep divisions, with bitter clashes right among the ruling powers. So, at the same time as they are bitterly divided, the ruling powers of this country are firmly united in their determination to punish and intimidate especially students at elite universities who have stepped forward to protest the genocidal slaughter of Palestinians. The ruling class is desperate to prevent opposition to its fundamental interests from spreading and involving masses of people, from all parts of society. All this reveals, more “nakedly” than in “normal situations,” the actual dictatorship behind the outer shell of “democracy” of this country—and it shines a light on the strategic weakness of this system, when it does lose the allegiance of major sections of the people and this has the potential to spread to all parts of society, including among the dominant institutions of this system.

WHO IS BOB AVAKIAN? Bob Avakian (BA) has been a revolutionary fighter, thinker and leader since the 1960’s, and he has developed the new communism. This includes the analysis and strategy for a real revolution in this country (yes, a “physical revolution”) and BA has led the work to make that real, at the soonest possible time. As such, he is loved by many—and he is slandered by people who have a stake in the current system or can see no further than getting such a stake. BA has written on the Middle East and the crucial struggle against U.S. imperialism and its “attack dog” Israel for over 40 years. His current series of social media dispatches scientifically confront the hardest questions, and puts forward a revolutionary solution. Engage. Make up your own mind. Be serious—for the world is very very serious right now.

Los Angeles Rally and Picnic Sunday May 5, 1 p.m. Jim Gilliam Park 4000 South La Brea Avenue @revcomcorps_LA (323) 671-9839 RevcomCorpsLA@gmail.com The madness of this system of capitalism-imperialism cannot be fixed or reformed. From the heartless U.S./Israeli slaughter and starvation of Palestinians… to the threats of nuclear annihilation... from the city streets, hell-hole prisons and police who terrorize and kill Black and Brown people... to the denial of women's right to abortion and attacks on LGBTQ people... The problem is the system of capitalism-imperialism. When the parasitic luxury of some rests on a world where whole countries are turned into sweatshops… a world of child labor and sexual slavery… a world where millions of migrants and refugees are driven to risk everything to cross borders—only to then be demonized and hunted like animals: This system must be overthrown. When this system has poisoned the air and water, destroying the environment...  when its rulers threaten nuclear war… and the very future of humanity is in real danger: We need and we demand a whole new way to live, a fundamentally different system! Some say that nothing can change and it's out of our hands.  NO! On May Day 2024, we declare: We will dare to fight and win a future worthy of our children and all of humanity. In powerful social media messages, the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian has done what nobody in this country has ever done before. He breaks down for everyone why we need a real revolution and how this revolution can be made—not in some far-off time, but right in this time. Listen to these messages at @BobAvakianOfficial on all social media platforms. Bob Avakian says: With thousands organized into the ranks of the revolution, millions can be won to revolution; and with millions won to revolution, there could be a real possibility for this revolution to win.

A revolution, and a radically new society, that really is liberating and uplifting. And I’m talking about a real revolution in this time, not in some far off distant time. @BobAvakianOfficial
