The explosion in Beirut last week has caused an explosion of rage and struggle, as the Lebanese masses take to the streets once again. We say: trust nobody but your own forces! Workers of Lebanon, overthrow the whole rotten system!
A massive explosion caused untold destruction and bloodshed in the Lebanese capital yesterday. This tragedy was a disaster waiting to happen, and will provoke the anger of the masses against the corrupt clique at the top of society.
Trump’s recently announced “Deal of the Century” to broker “peace” in Israel-Palestine is a laundry list of humiliating terms for the Palestinians, aimed at giving full US backing to Israeli expansionism.
The assassination of General Soleimani was an act of imperialist aggression serving Trump's short-term interests. The attack is unlikely to lead to war, which would be a disaster for the US. But it highlights the weakness of US imperialism.
Tensions are rising in the Gulf, with a belligerent wing of the Trump administration set on sabre-rattling with the Iranian regime. We must oppose this imperialist warmongering.
