Letter from Steve McKenzie, Unite Community member
October 7 2023 marked the day that today’s Zionists embarked on their mission to finish the Nabka that was started in 1948. The Hamas attack on Southern Israel on that day was the event that ‘justified’, in the eyes of the Israeli government, the giving of the green light to finalise the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the West Bank.
The subsequent genocidal onslaught on the Palestinian people, aims to wipe out Palestinian life in Gaza and the West Bank, reducing the infrastructure to rubble, and it was done under cover of the argument of needing to ‘eliminate’ Hamas once and for all.
But the real aim is to demolish, depopulate and then rebuild an exclusively Jewish Gaza annexing it to Israel. The Israeli state hopes to repeat the process by also bringing the West Bank into Greater Israel.
Simultaneously, in the last few months, a successful war of attrition has been fought by Israel against Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Lebanese government has effectivly signed a surrender document called a ‘ceasefire’ agreement.
Then there was the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria and the subsequent bombing and invasion there by the Israeli military. This has futher strengthened the Zionists and their US backers.
Britain, in its role as bag-handler for the United States, is complicit in the ethnic cleansing with the government, the military, the arms manufactures up to their necks in supplying military aid and diplomatic cover.
The ‘impartial’ BBC is effectively a mouthpiece for the Israeli government, deliberatly distorting events to portray the Zionists in the most favourable light.
However, the massive demonstrations and actions in support of the Palastinians, in Britain and throughout the world are isolating Israel and the Zionists. A redoubling of our efforts in 2025 has to be the priority.
