We republish a special episode of International Marxist Radio where Marxist.com editor Fred Weston analyzes the sudden turn in events in Palestine and explains how communists around the world should respond.
While bourgeois commentators hypocritically denounce any and every act of violence by the oppressed Palestinians, they turn a blind eye to the crushing dominance of the Israeli military. We say: End the occupation! Defend Gaza! Intifada until victory!
