A crime of monumental dimensions, comparable to those of the Nazis, is now unfolding before the eyes of the world. The more than 2 million people in Gaza are threatened with genocide. The Israeli government is subjecting them to systematic starvation and dehydration in advance of an imminent ground invasion.
The Biden administration is fully complicit in this unfolding genocide. It has deployed aircraft carriers to the region and has given the Netanyahu regime a blank check to carry out its war crimes.
Despite the relentless propaganda campaign of the mass media, the sympathy of the vast majority of the world’s population is with the Palestinians. Mass protests have erupted throughout the world, including in the United States. This opposition must be armed with a political program and socialist perspective, based on an understanding of the broader context within which Israel’s actions are taking place and the lessons of history.
Over the coming days and weeks, the International Youth and Students for Social Equality in the US will be holding meetings on campuses across the country to discuss the way forward in the fight to put an end to the unfolding genocide.
The meeting list below will be updated in the days ahead with more locations. The IYSSE internationally will also soon be announcing meetings in Europe, Australia, Sri Lanka, Canada and other countries. We urge all of our readers and supporters to make plans to attend these meetings and share the information about them and the materials of the World Socialist Web Site as widely as possible.
