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 will be holding meetings on campuses across the US and internationally 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. If you want to set up a meeting in your area, please contact us today.

This lecture provides a political and historical analysis of the genocidal war now being conducted by the Zionist regime in Israel against the Palestinians. It explains the relationship between the contemporary struggle against imperialism and the international socialist program of the Left Opposition, founded by Leon Trotsky 100 years ago in October 1923.
The WSWS calls for strikes and other protest actions by the working class in every country. We urge the organization of mass demonstrations in cities and emergency solidarity protests by college and high school students.
The major American newspapers and television network are systematically suppressing the news of demonstrations by millions worldwide against Israeli genocide in Gaza.
The escalating Israeli genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza has sparked massive demonstrations, involving millions of people, on every inhabited continent in the world.
The International Committee of the Fourth International unequivocally denounces the Netanyahu government’s declaration of war on the Palestinian people following the uprising in Gaza against the Israeli occupation.
