The US/Israeli War is a Failing Attempt at Recolonization, NOT Liberation – the Iranian People Know it and Reject it            

28/03/2026

Trump and Netanyahu’s unprovoked war against Iran has raised the specter of demented fascism, genocidal Zionism, and total war – And the whole world shudders. The Middle East becomes even more unstable. The long-standing crisis of the global capitalist economy deepens. Resolving the worldwide climate crisis of a world tied to oil & gas is delayed again, to an even more distant future. The poor and oppressed become poorer, sicker, and more oppressed. The ruling classes of every country buy more armaments, paid for by more cuts to whatever educational, social and health services are left.

However, from the very start of this war, Trump & Netanyahu have met with far greater, better prepared, and more creative resistance from Iran than they ever thought possible. Iran’s strength is already exposing differences between their agendas: Trump’s focus is on asserting his self-image as the world’s dominant fascist ruler; for Netanyahu, the attack on Iran is a long-planned stage in the long war for Israeli control & occupation of the Middle East. The imperialist governments and ruling classes of Europe – the supposed NATO allies of the US – recognize this US/Israeli war as another sign of their declining power and the effective break-up of the NATO alliance. They are hanging back, watching developments, and dithering.

All working class, progressive, anti-racist & anti-fascist organisations must unite in action & fight by any means necessary to end this war, and to prevent our government taking any part in it. Today’s mass demonstration is a show of our potential unity. We must unite to stop the war. We must exploit the divisions & hesitations of the politicians in order to block their inevitable inclination to join Trump’s war. The mass movements for Palestinian freedom and the rights of workers, refugees, immigrants etc have that potential power.

Iran and Imperialism

The war against Iran is an attempt to reverse the 1979 Iranian revolution, which was a major defeat for western imperialism, and for the State of Israel – the principal agent of the US in the Middle East.

Iran has the largest land area and population of the Middle East’s big oil producing countries. For more than a century, imperialist powers tried to carve it up or take control of its politics & its resources. In the 1920s, the British imperialists deposed the old royal family and imposed the rule of the brutally repressive Pahlavi dynasty. When an elected Iranian government nationalized the oil industry in the early 1950s, Britain and the US organised a coup and reinstated the second Pahlavi Shah (King).

Under the last Shah’s notoriously brutal rule, Iran was second only to Israel as the western imperialists’ ally & agent in the Middle East. In 1979 he was overthrown by the people’s revolution. The religious leaders (Ayatollahs) who the Shah sent into exile, returned to Iran. In the turmoil of the revolution, they were able to use their authority to establish a theocratic state which has become increasingly repressive.

Ever since that revolution, Iran has come under increasing pressure and sanctions from the US and its allies. This has caused increasing poverty among the Iranian people. In response, the regime has increased its authoritarian control and turned to Russia and China for support. The regime’s authoritarianism has been challenged by outbreaks of resistance that have shaken its authority, but they have been repressed by its considerable military power.

The imperialist pressures on Iran have done more to preserve its authoritarian, theocratic regime than remove it. The great mass of the Iranian people knows better than to trust the imperialists’ false promises, and they have demonstrated that they have no intention of turning their country over to US imperialism and Israel.

Why the US and Israel Have Gone to War – and How They Miscalculated the Response

For Trump’s fascist regime in America and Netanyahu’s fascist regime in Israel, the current war on Iran is a continuation of their genocidal war and ‘ethnic cleansing’ against the Palestinian people, in order to destroy all resistance and maintain their domination of the Middle East and its resources. At the same time, Netanyahu has stepped up Israeli attacks on Lebanon and occupied the southern part of that country.

The goals of Trump & Netanyahu put the State of Israel in a state of permanent war, which, if continued, will end in self-destruction. It is only possible at present because of American support. They are united by their fascist delusions, which is what makes them – and this war – so dangerous.

For Trump & his declining circle of devotees, this is his fascist war, and that is all it is. There are no rational reasons for this war at this time. It is deeply unpopular in America, even among Trump’s own supporters. This fascist president’s only purpose in going to war against Iran at this time is to demonstrate to the world his unrestrained power of inhuman, fascistic destruction, to demonstrate – not only to enemies but to unhappy former supporters – that their views are of no account, he is King of Kings.

At this point in history, Trump and Netanyahu believed they had an opportunity because the regional influence of the Iranian regime’s was in decline, following the setbacks suffered by the anti-Zionist resistance groups it had sponsored: Hezbollah and Hamas. However,they were blinded to the power of resistance by a people under attack and did not expect the resurgence of Hezbollah.

For the poor & oppressed of the Middle East and the whole world, for all the discriminated-against communities, refugees, immigrant workers etc in Britain, the most positive resolution of this war is the military defeat of the US and Israel.

Workers’ Action Can Stop the War: Boycott All Support & Supplies for War Against Iran

The movement in Britain that has marched for Palestine is still marching. Those who have built the mass anti-war movement of resistance to Starmer’s warmongering, defended Palestine Action, mobilized against fascists, and filled countless courtrooms are now on the streets demanding an immediate end to the US/Israeli war against Iran. Every time we march for Palestine we must be marching for Iran – One struggle! One fight!

All those progressive & anti-war forces in Britain, especially in the trade unions, must now organise boycotts to undermine and disrupt the US/Israeli attack on Iran. We should act in the spirit of the dockworkers in European and Mediterranean ports who have blockaded arms shipments to Israel, and British civil servants who refused to license arms for Israel, and we must act more widely and creatively to stop, disrupt, or undermine the transport and delivery of any form of armaments, goods, services, & communications that could assist the attacks on Iran.

We must demand that our trade union leaders organise this campaign of action, or at least support and defend it, but we cannot wait for them or rely on them. The need for this action is urgent, so we have to organise rank-and-file action groups in our workplaces, whatever and wherever they are.

The Fight Against Fascism

This fight is not simply a campaign against an imperialist war; it is a battle against fascism. A victory for the US & Israel would mean a victory for fascism on a global scale – and further wars. Rich & powerful capitalists across the world are turning to fascism because their economic & political system has reached a dead-end. They have created the greatest levels of inequality in all human history, and they cannot solve any of the huge problems they have created. They turn to the fascists to CRUSH US, to take away ALL our rights & freedoms, to deny our right to free speech etc. That is what Trump is trying to do, and what Netanyahu is doing in Israel.

To achieve power, the fascists use racism, ethnic nationalism, religious divisions, and violent thuggery on our streets – and they use Parliament as well. That is happening now in Britain – it is not “Far Right,” an imprecise term that hides the reality. It is fascism, and to defeat the fascists, we have to fight for the rights & freedoms they plan to destroy – freedom of speech, demonstrations etc, defense against racist/fascist attacks, and fighting for the free movement of people, which is a fundamental human right. Destroying freedom of movement, as Starmer’s government is doing, is increasing racism. Our mass movements should build anti-fascist defense unit, and demand OPEN THE BORDERS.

If we in Britain, as workers, refugees and immigrants, as black, Asian & Muslim people, as poor and oppressed people fight by any means necessary to build significant action against the US/Israeli war machine that is attacking Iran, we will have weakened our own racist, anti-working class government, and struck a major blow against Trump’s fascist programme in the US, and against fascism in this country, across Europe, and in the Middle East. THAT MUST BE OUR AIM.

Il Popolo Iraniano ha il Diritto di Decidere il Proprio Futuro

La Guerra USA/Israele e’ un Tentativo Fallimentare di Ricolonizzazione, non Liberazione – Il Popolo Iraniano ne e’ Consapevole e lo Rigetta

Londra, MFJ alla Marcia Nazionale Contro la Guerra 28/03/2026

La Guerra ingiustificata di Trump & Netanyahu contro l’Iran ha sollevato lo spettro del fascismo demente, del sionismo genocida, e della Guerra totale – e fa rabbrividire il mondo intero. La crisi di lungo termine dell’economia globale capitalista si approfondisce. La risoluzione della crisi climatica globale di un mondo legato all’olio & al gas e’ ancora una volta rimandata a un futuro ancora piu’ distante. I poveri e gli oppressi diventano piu’ poveri, piu’ malati, e ancora piu’ oppressi. Le classi dirigenti di ogni paese aquistano piu’ armament, pagati da piu’ tagli a quello che rimane dei servizi educativi, sociali e di sanita’ pubblica.

Tuttavia, fin dall’inizio di questa guerra, Trump e Netanyahu hanno incontrato una resistenza da parte dell’Iran molto più grande, meglio preparata e più creativa di quanto avessero mai pensato possibile. La forza dell’Iran sta già mettendo in evidenza le differenze tra le loro agende: l’attenzione di Trump è sul far valere la sua immagine di sé come il dominatore fascista del mondo; per Netanyahu, l’attacco all’Iran è una fase a lungo pianificata nella lunga guerra per il controllo e l’occupazione israeliana del Medio Oriente. I governi imperialisti e le classi dirigenti d’Europa – i presunti alleati NATO degli Stati Uniti – riconoscono questa guerra USA/Israele come un altro segno del loro potere in declino e del concreto sfaldamento dell’alleanza NATO. Si trattengono, osservano gli sviluppi, ed esitano.

Tutte le organizzazioni della classe lavoratrice, progressiste, antirazziste e antifasciste devono unirsi in azione e combattere con qualsiasi mezzo necessario per porre fine a questa guerra e per impedire al nostro governo di prenderne parte. La manifestazione di oggi è una dimostrazione della nostra potenziale unità. Dobbiamo unirci per fermare la guerra. Dobbiamo sfruttare le divisioni e le esitazioni dei politici per bloccare la loro inevitabile inclinazione a unirsi alla guerra di Trump. I movimenti di massa per la libertà dei palestinesi e per i diritti dei lavoratori, dei rifugiati, degli immigrati, ecc. hanno questo potere potenziale.

Iran e Imperialismo

San Francisco, BAMN alla protesta “No Kings Day” 28/03/2026

La guerra contro l’Iran è un tentativo di capovolgere la rivoluzione iraniana del 1979, che fu una sconfitta importante per l’imperialismo occidentale e per lo Stato di Israele – il principale agente degli Stati Uniti in Medio Oriente.

L’Iran ha la più grande superficie terrestre e popolazione tra i principali paesi produttori di petrolio del Medio Oriente. Per più di un secolo, le potenze imperialiste hanno cercato di dividerlo o di prendere il controllo della sua politica e delle sue risorse. Negli anni 1920, gli imperialisti britannici deposero la vecchia famiglia reale e imposero il governo brutale e repressivo della dinastia Pahlavi. Quando un governo iraniano eletto nazionalizzò l’industria petrolifera nei primi anni 1950, Gran Bretagna e Stati Uniti organizzarono un colpo di stato e reinstaurarono il secondo Shah Pahlavi (Re).

Sotto il governo notoriamente brutale dell’ultimo Shah, l’Iran era secondo solo a Israele come alleato e agente degli imperialisti occidentali in Medio Oriente. Nel 1979 lo Shah fu rovesciato dalla rivoluzione popolare. I leader religiosi (Ayatollah) che lo Shah aveva mandato in esilio, tornarono in Iran. Nel caos della rivoluzione, riuscirono a usare la loro autorità per istituire uno stato teocratico che è diventato sempre più repressivo.

A partire da quella rivoluzione, l’Iran è stato soggetto a crescenti pressioni e sanzioni da parte degli Stati Uniti e dei suoi alleati. Questo ha causato un aumento della povertà tra il popolo iraniano. In risposta, il regime ha aumentato il suo controllo autoritario e si è rivolto alla Russia e alla Cina per ottenere sostegno. L’autoritarismo del regime è stato sfidato da focolai di resistenza che hanno scosso la sua autorità, ma sono stati repressi dal suo considerevole potere militare.

Le pressioni imperialiste sull’Iran hanno funzionato più per preservare il suo regime autoritario e teocratico che per rimuoverlo. La grande massa del popolo iraniano capisce bene che non deve fidarsi delle false promesse degli imperialisti e ha dimostrato di non avere alcuna intenzione di consegnare il proprio paese all’imperialismo statunitense e a Israele.

Perché gli Stati Uniti e Israele Sono Entrati in Guerra – e Come hanno Calcolato Male la Risposta

Per il regime fascista di Trump in America e il regime fascista di Netanyahu in Israele, l’attuale guerra contro l’Iran è una continuazione della loro guerra genocida e della ‘pulizia etnica’ contro il popolo palestinese, al fine di distruggere ogni resistenza e mantenere il loro dominio sul Medio Oriente e le sue risorse. Allo stesso tempo, Netanyahu ha intensificato gli attacchi israeliani sul Libano e ha occupato la parte meridionale del paese.

Gli obiettivi di Trump e Netanyahu mettono lo Stato di Israele in uno stato di guerra permanente, che, se continuata, finirà in autodistruzione. Attualmente è possibile solo grazie al sostegno americano. Sono uniti dalle loro illusioni fasciste, ed è questo che li rende – e rende questa guerra – così pericolosi.

Per Trump e il suo circolo in declino di devoti, questa è la sua guerra fascista, e nient’altro. Non ci sono ragioni razionali per questa guerra in questo momento. È profondamente impopolare in America, anche tra gli stessi sostenitori di Trump. L’unico scopo di questo presidente fascista nell’entrare in guerra contro l’Iran in questo momento è dimostrare al mondo il suo potere sfrenato di distruzione inumana e fascista, dimostrare – non solo ai nemici ma anche agli ex sostenitori insoddisfatti – che le loro opinioni non contano nulla, lui è il Re dei Re.

In questo momento storico, Trump e Netanyahu credevano di avere un’opportunità perché l’influenza regionale del regime iraniano era in declino, a seguito dei contraccolpi subiti dai gruppi di resistenza antisionisti che aveva sponsorizzato: Hezbollah e Hamas. Tuttavia, sono rimasti accecati dal potere della resistenza di un popolo sotto attacco e non prevedevano la rinascita di Hezbollah.

Per i poveri e gli oppressi del Medio Oriente e del mondo intero, per tutte le comunità discriminate, i rifugiati, i lavoratori immigrati ecc. in Gran Bretagna, la risoluzione più positiva di questa guerra è la sconfitta militare degli Stati Uniti e di Israele.

L’azione dei Lavoratori Può Fermare la Guerra: Boicottare Tutto il Supporto e le Forniture per la Guerra Contro l’Iran

In Gran Bretagna il movimento che ha marciato per la Palestina sta ancora marciando. Coloro che hanno costruito il massiccio movimento anti-guerra di resistenza all’interventismo di Starmer, difeso Palestine Action, si sono mobilitati contro i fascisti e hanno riempito innumerevoli tribunal, sono ora per le strade a chiedere una fine immediata della guerra USA/Israele contro l’Iran. Ogni volta che marciamo per la Palestina dobbiamo marciare anche per l’Iran – Una lotta! Una battaglia!

Tutte quelle forze progressiste e contro la guerra in Gran Bretagna, specialmente nei sindacati, devono ora organizzare boicottaggi per indebolire e interrompere l’attacco USA/Israele contro l’Iran. Dobbiamo agire nello spirito dei portuali nei porti europei e mediterranei che hanno bloccato le spedizioni di armi verso Israele, e dei funzionari britannici che si sono rifiutati di concedere licenze per le armi a Israele, e dobbiamo agire più ampiamente e creativamente per fermare, ostacolare o indebolire il trasporto e la consegna di qualsiasi forma di armamenti, merci, servizi e comunicazioni che possano assistere gli attacchi contro l’Iran.

Dobbiamo esigere che i nostri leader sindacali organizzino questa campagna di azione, o almeno la supportino e la difendano, ma non possiamo aspettare loro né fare affidamento su di loro. La necessità di questa azione è urgente, quindi dobbiamo organizzare gruppi di azione di base nei nostri luoghi di lavoro, qualunque essi siano e ovunque si trovino.

La lotta Contro il Fascismo

Questa lotta non è semplicemente una campagna contro una guerra imperialista; è una battaglia contro il fascismo. Una vittoria per gli Stati Uniti e Israele significherebbe una vittoria del fascismo su scala globale – e ulteriori guerre. I capitalisti ricchi e potenti di tutto il mondo si stanno rivolgendo al fascismo perché il loro sistema economico e politico ha raggiunto un vicolo cieco. Hanno creato i più grandi livelli di disuguaglianza in tutta la storia umana e non riescono a risolvere nessuno dei giganteschi problemi che hanno creato. Si rivolgono ai fascisti per SCHIACCIARCI, per portarci via TUTTI i nostri diritti e le nostre libertà, per negare il nostro diritto alla libertà di parola, ecc. Questo è ciò che Trump sta cercando di fare, e ciò che Netanyahu sta facendo in Israele.

Per ottenere il potere, i fascisti usano il razzismo, il nazionalismo etnico, le divisioni religiose e intimidazioni violente nelle nostre strade – e usano anche il Parlamento. Questo sta accadendo ora in Gran Bretagna – non è “estrema destra”, un termine impreciso che nasconde la realtà. Si tratta di fascismo, e per sconfiggere i fascisti dobbiamo lottare per i diritti e le libertà che intendono distruggere: libertà di parola, di manifestazione, È fascismo, e per sconfiggere i fascisti, dobbiamo lottare per i diritti e le libertà che pianificano di distruggere – libertà di parola, manifestazioni ecc., difesa contro gli attacchi razzisti/fascisti, e lotta per la libera circolazione delle persone, che è un diritto umano fondamentale. Distruggere la libertà di movimento, come sta facendo il governo di Starmer, sta aumentando il razzismo. I nostri movimenti di massa dovrebbero costruire unità di difesa antifascista e rivendicare di APRIRE LE FRONTIERE.

Se noi in Gran Bretagna, come lavoratori, rifugiati e immigrati, come persone nere, asiatiche e musulmane, come persone povere e oppresse, combattiamo con ogni mezzo necessario per costruire un’azione significativa contro la macchina da guerra USA/Israele che sta attaccando l’Iran, indeboliremo il nostro stesso governo razzista e anti-lavoratori, e infliggeremo un duro colpo al programma fascista di Trump negli USA, e contro il fascismo in questo paese, in tutta Europa e in Medio Oriente. QUESTO DEVE ESSERE IL NOSTRO OBIETTIVO.

END THE WAR NOW!

Defend Iran against Imperialist War

Defeat Trump & Netanyahu’s Fascist War Drive

March Stop the War Against Iran, London 7 March 2026

– Build a Workers’ Boycott of Arms     Trading with the USA & Israel

– End the UK government’s cooperation with Trump’s War against Iran

– All British Armed Forces out of the Middle East & Mediterranean

The Iranian People have the right to determine their Future  Military Conquest is Not Liberation!

09.03.2026

The horrific war that Trump and Netanyahu have launched against Iran is a further escalation of the instability & conflicts that imperialist domination and exploitation have inflicted on the people of the Middle East, for over a century. More significantly, however, it is the clearest sign yet of the growth of 21st century fascism on a world scale, and of the threat of total war. That is clearly and dangerously expressed in the actions of the current US and Israeli regimes, in their own countries and internationally.

The decision to go to war against Iran was determined by history. It has by far the largest land area and the largest population of the Middle East’s big oil producing countries. It is the oldest state in the region, with thousands of years of history, the imperialist powers have tried to carve it up and repeatedly intervened in its politics, and the outcome of its 1979 revolution was a defeat for western imperialism.

Iran and Imperialism

In the 1920s the British imperialists created and imposed the rule of the brutally repressive Pahlavi dynasty, deposing the previous royal dynasty. When an elected government in the early 1950s nationalized Iran’s oil industry, Britain and the US organised a coup and reinstated the second Pahlavi Shah.

Under the last Shah’s notoriously brutal rule, Iran was second only to Israel as the western imperialists’ ally & agent in the Middle East. Following his overthrow by the popular revolution in1979 the religious leaders (Ayatollahs) who the Shah had exiled, returned to Iran and used their authority to establish a theocratic state which became increasingly repressive.

Over the last 40 years, Iran has come under increasing pressure and sanctions from the US and its allies, and this has caused greater poverty among the Iranian people. In response, the regime has increased its authoritarian control and turned to Russia and China for support. The regime’s authoritarianism has been challenged by outbreaks of resistance that have shaken its authority but have been repressed by its considerable military power.

The western imperialist pressures on Iran are now more likely to preserve its authoritarian, theocratic regime than remove it. The great mass of the Iranian people knows better than to trust the imperialists false promises, and they have demonstrated that they have no intention of turning their country over to the western imperialists.

Why the US has gone to war

There are no rational reasons for this war at this time. It is deeply unpopular in America, even among Trump’s own supporters. The regional power of Iran has suffered a sharp decline, with the setbacks to Hezbollah & Hamas, and the overthrow of the Assad regime in Syria. Iran poses no threat to the US.

This is Trump’s fascist war, and that is all it is. This fascist president’s only purpose in going to war against Iran at this time is to demonstrate to the world his unrestrained power of inhuman, fascistic destruction, to demonstrate – not  only to enemies but to unhappy former supporters – that their views are of no account, he is King of Kings.

And it worked quickly with the governments of western Europe. Keir Starmer led the pack, but one by one they dropped their initial ‘disapproval’ of the war on Iran and were converted to ‘co-operation.’ Only Spain has stood firm. Trump had taken a risk, confident that it would work, just as he was confident that China and Russia would not go to war for the sake of Iran. But that does not mean that he is secure; he is actually very vulnerable.

For the poor & oppressed of the Middle East and the whole world the most positive resolution of this war is the military defeat of the US and Israel.

Workers’ Action can Stop the War: Blockade all support & supplies for War against Iran

The movement in Britain that has marched for Palestine is still marching. Those who have built the mass anti-war movement of resistance to Starmer’s warmongering, defended Palestine Action, mobilised against fascists, and filled countless courtrooms are now on the streets demanding an immediate end to the US/Israeli war against Iran. Every time we march for Palestine we must be marching for Iran – One struggle! One fight!

All those progressive & anti-war forces in Britain, especially in the trade unions, must now organise blockades to undermine and disrupt the US/Israeli attack on Iran. We should act in the spirit of the dockworkers in European and Mediterranean ports who have blockaded arms shipments to Israel, but we must act more widely and creatively to stop, disrupt, or undermine the transport and delivery of any form of armaments, goods, services, and communications that could assist the attacks on Iran.

We must demand that our trade union leaders organise this campaign of action, or at least support and defend it, but we cannot wait for them or rely on them. The need for this action is urgent, so we have to organise rank-and-file action groups in our workplaces, whatever and wherever they are.

The Fight  Against Fascism

This fight is not simply a campaign against a war; nor is it just a fight against imperialist wars. It is a fight against fascism. We live at a time when the capitalist system is caught in a political and economic dead-end, when nothing seems to work, even while all the sciences are zooming ahead. Inequality has reached the greatest ever extremes in human history. For the first time fascism has taken power or is advancing rapidly in all the old imperialist countries at the same time.

That is the situation in Britain, in the US, France, Germany, Italy etc.

If we in Britain, as workers, refugees & immigrants, black, Asian & Muslim people, poor & oppressed people can build significant action against the US attack on Iran, we will have weakened our own racist, anti-working class government, and struck a major blow against Trump’s fascist programme in the US, and against fascism in this country and across Europe. That must be our aim.

Free the #Filton24 & All Prisoners for Palestine

Drop All the Charges Now

Stop the Labour Party’s Police-State Terrorism

Stop the Government’s Imperialist War-Drive

!! ORGANISE A FREE THE PRISONERS FOR PALESTINE
DEMO AT THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY !!

31/12/2025

Movement For Justice sends its greetings to the Filton 24, their friends, families & supporters. We have a duty to mobilise our movement to free them. The Government has shown it has no concern for human life: it supports the genocide in Gaza & the West bank; it plans to cancelling immigrants’ right to stay & work, and moves Cross Channel refugees to concentration camps; it attacks LGBT Trans rights, and poor, disabled and working people – and the cost of living crisis that means the rich get richer. These policies are making more enemies for the Government.

The government’s resort to authoritarian measures to proscribe Palestine Action & attack our right to protest is a response to the power of our movement – not a sign of their strength. We have the responsibility to ensure that our heroic sisters & brothers in prison & on hunger strike don’t have to sacrifice their precious lives.

Our movement remains strong and is growing – but it needs a call to action. We must make that call to mobilise a national demonstration in London within the next few weeks. We know that the movements will answer our call in thousands. Our power is in the streets.

The Movement for Justice (MFJ) calls for nothing less than the Victory for the Palestinian Struggle and the defeat of our own imperialist rulers, whether Labour, Tory, or Fascist. We support the struggles and recognise the heroism of everyone in the broad pro Palestine movement who comes under attack from the government, police, employers, educators etc.

We address this statement especially to the young activists who are the most
determined, radical & integrated part of our movement.

This broad mass movement fighting for a free Palestine has opposed inhuman
barbarism, genocide, and the imperialist war drive for more than two years. The
movement has extended its reach and won broad support, which has encouraged other progressive struggles. This movement is opposing the central political and military policies of Tory and Labour governments and most of the rich and powerful ruling class -‘our own’ imperialists.

In many ways, the hopes & character of this movement anticipate the new Britain that MFJ is fighting for, not a day dream, but the only road to progress: a country with open borders; a society integrated on the basis of equality & equal rights for everyone living, working, studying or born here; an economy that serves the needs of everyone and doesn’t exploit anyone, at home or abroad.

Our enemies, who think they must continue to hold power over us, can only imagine a future of exploitation and war. Their policy is to keep close to the US government, however irrational its politics, and to always support Israel as NATO’s most important base for controlling the Middle East. That means Israel’s role must always be to try to control and remove the Palestinians in the territories it controls. That has always been a recipe for wars, ‘ethnic cleansing’ and genocide – policies that Netanyahu’s fascists are still continuing today and which the western powers do nothing to stop.

There is no real division between the government’s policy in Britain and its policy in the Middle East. They are both about maintaining the power and wealth of Britain’s imperialist ruling class. That is their aim and the aims of all the imperialists and the super-rich, including their allies in Europe & North America and their rivals in China & Russia. Those aims are truly unrealistic, but the attempts to implement them are destroying all our futures.

The sensibilities of the younger people who are the backbone of our mass movements, the people in their teens, twenties and thirties, have been shaped and sharpened by ‘forever’ wars, the disasters of Brexit and Covid, the destruction of their right to a free & broad education, etc. You are fighting for your futures by any means necessary. You are the activists who the rich and powerful fear most of all, and that our movement needs the most – as leaders.

Join Movement For Justice, we are an organisation of leaders like yourself. We have a tried and tested method and programme that fights to win. We know we have to be in a collective leadership organisation in order to grow and learn.

Our whole movement must make – and we must demand – a specific campaign to set our Prisoners for Palestine free – a campaign that goes beyond legal challenges and starts with a mass demonstration in the first weeks of January 2026.

25/10/2025

Why the 25th October fascist march was really banned

The police did not ban the planned 25th October fascist demonstration in Tower Hamlets because they were so concerned about the safety of the Muslim population and supporters of the Palestinian struggle for freedom. The police rarely ban fascist marches, and they are the enforcers of government repression against the pro-Palestine movement, which includes the great majority of the Muslim community.

The police issued the ban early in the past week because they realised that the fascists (and the police themselves) would meet overwhelming resistance from the Bangladeshi, Somali, Muslim youth of Tower Hamlets, who would be supported by their communities and the East End generally.

The planned march had been heavily promoted as an event of significant national importance by Nick Tenconi, the leader of the Turning Point UK fascist organisation (operating under the guise of UKIP). It was designed to take advantage of the increasing level of fascist violence nationally, and the crisis in the whole political system – and to raise Tenconi’s profile. He called this a “Holy War.”

Well before the appointed day, East London had successfully denied the fascists the opportunity for their ‘Holy victory.’ That was a victory for the power of the Tower Hamlets’ community and youth – but it was a limited, ambiguous victory. By banning the fascist from marching in Tower Hamlets and transferring their march to west central London, the police saw to it that Tenconi and his fascist supporters avoided the real, humiliating defeat they would have suffered on the streets of Tower Hamlets.

Our mass movements must recognise that fascism has to be defeated in action – and that our power is on the streets & in our communities. Fascists can’t be ‘educated’ out of their fascism, because fascism is not rational. It is based on lies, prejudices and violence. Fighting fascism is a matter of elementary, collective self-defense.

The leading role of youth in fighting fascism

Under attack, we fight back! Whenever racist, fascist thugs have tried to invade Tower Hamlets and terrorise Bangladeshi, Somali, Muslim people the community has fought back, and every time the youth have taken the lead. As a result, there has not been a significant attempt to hold a fascist demonstration in Tower Hamlets for a good many years – not since they were driven out by the militant mass action of youth and community members (Sept 2011).

Youth from Tower Hamlets and across East London have continued the struggle against racism, fascism and police violence. They were the most militant part of the huge, integrated crowd that defeated fascist plans to attack an asylum advice centre in Walthamstow in August 2024.

When the police brutally attacked, beat & arrested pro-Palestine activist Waheed Yousaf in Whitechapel last year, community members videoed and circulated the incident and within a few hours a huge crowd of Bangladeshi youth was at Bethnal Green police station. They stayed there until Yousaf was released in the early hours of the next morning.

The fascists & racists will be back, in one way or another, and the youth will be on the front line of resistance. The whole community must support and co-operate with the youth.

Fascism is on the rise – it can and must be defeated

Fascism is increasing around the world because the economic system is breaking down: economic growth is in decline everywhere, poverty is growing everywhere, and extreme wealth  is concentrated in the hands of a small number of super-rich people and giant corporations – the Elon Musks of the world. We are experiencing the results of this situation with the growing housing and cost-of-living crisis in Britain.

The super-wealthy rulers of  the world’s most powerful countries are turning to fascism as the way to divide and crush the poor & oppressed people who they exploit in their own countries, to take away all their rights & freedom, drive them into deeper poverty – and then prepare them for a war with rival imperialist countries.   

The pro-Israel fascist who calls himself Tommy Robinson boasts that Elon Musk is paying his court costs. That is not surprising. There are super-rich people funding all the fascist groups who are whipping up divisions and attacking Muslims, Sikhs, black people, refugees, immigrants, LGBT- targeting Trans people.

Palestine v Fascism

Israel is a fascist state based on ethnic cleansing, genocide, the mob violence of West Bank settlers, a brain-washing education system, and huge backing from western imperialist rulers. Every government in Europe and North America that is arming Israel and facilitating the genocide, is facing an active mass movement on the streets of its own cities and towns. When those governments try to repress the movements, the movements have become more defiant, bold and determined.

Dock workers in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Morocco, Greece, Turkey, Indonesia and most of all in Italy are successfully boycotting arms shipments to Israel. In Italy, trade unions have called a series of national strikes in support of Palestine, and Palestinians in Gaza have demonstrated their appreciation.

Israel and the western governments are increasingly isolated by the crisis they created for themselves, and by the growing power of the international anti-war movement. A few months ago, Donald Trump was fantasizing about a Trump Gaza riviera and was ready to give Netanyahu whatever he wanted. Now he says that Israel has to get out of Gaza and cannot declare the West Bank to be part of Israel.  

The ceasefire is an unspoken admission that all the plans of Israel and its backers have failed and have to be abandoned. That does not mean peace, freedom and democracy for Palestinians – but it does mean that the political balance of forces has shifted against Israel and its backers. Western politicians, Arab dictators and Zionist government ministers will be looking to see what is in it for them, but any new form of oppression they try to impose is certain to be resisted by the Palestinian people.

The fight now is for nothing less than full, unconditional self-determination for the Palestinians, and that is now central to the global struggle against fascism.
