The student movement for the liberation of Palestine continues to defy the police across the U.S.-Canadian empire. Those handful of encampments that capitulated to traitor’s bargains, promises of “studies” on divestment, or other wheedling and cajoling from their administrations, are just that: a small minority. Elsewhere, the student movement has boldly resisted the extreme violence brought to bear by local police and universities.

The time has come for escalation. The student movement should not have to stand alone. Palestine should not have to stand alone. The invasion of Rafah will be carried out by the occupation forces, but the weapons that will flatten Rafah are not being sent from Tel Aviv — they come from Washington, D.C. The rear of the occupation force is not located in Palestine, but in the domestic production of the U.S. and Canada. Weapons shipments must be stopped. Aid to the zionists must be halted. We must stand together!

The criminal Biden regime has already felt the wind of change and delayed arms shipments to the zionists. We must transform the delay into a permanent halt. The $216 billion dollars that has flowed to the zionist government since 1946 must cease. The zionists purchase 80% of their arms from U.S. war production, and the money given to the occupation government flows back into private U.S. corporations like Boeing, AM General, Caterpillar (which produces armored bulldozers for destroying Palestinian homes), Colt, Day & Zimmerman, Flyer Defense, and the ever-present U.S. behemoth of General Dynamics.

It is thus more important than ever that all progressive organizations unite into an anti-zionist front. If your union local is anti-zionist, it must unite with the student movement. If your DSA chapter is anti-zionist, it must unite with the student movement! If your CPUSA club is anti-zionist, it must unite with the student movement!The zionists are poised for crushing defeat. Let us help deliver it to them.
