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.

Why the 25^th October fascist march was really banned

The police did not ban the planned 25^th 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.
