40,000 Palestinians gathered on March 30 to commemorate the one year anniversary of the “Great March of Return” demonstrations at the Israel-Gaza border. The demonstrations commemorate Land Day, which marks 43 years since six Palestinians were killed by Israeli police as they protested the Israeli state’s seizure of their land. Since the beginning of the demonstrations last year, the Israeli military has killed more than 200 demonstrators and injured thousands more. Despite this, the Palestinian people remain steadfast in their fight for their homeland which was stolen from them and from which they were forcibly expelled.
The Palestinian people stand tall in the face of increased attacks by the fascist Zionist government of Israel and its military supplier the U.S. Israel has declared permanent annexation of the Golan Heights which is part of Syria. The Golan Heights has oil, water and access to the sea. Israel is also talking about annexing the illegally occupied West Bank. At the same time, they are raining down bombs on Gaza, all while depriving its residents of water, electricity and medical supplies. This shows that Israeli Zionism is nothing more than a Nazi-like racist ideology with imperialist designs. Every worker needs to stand with and show solidarity with the beleaguered Palestinian people.
