Palestine is our Compass

Palestine is United, Undefeated, and the Compass of the World! – International League of Peoples’ Struggle

Statement of the ILPS on the Occassion of the Al Aqsa Flood Anniversary 2025

The International League of People’s Struggle joins the Palestinian people and all freedom loving people of the world in celebrating the second anniversary of the Al Aqsa Flood operation against the US-Zionist occupation, and calls on all of its members to heighten their solidarity to end the genocide of the Palestinian people. The Al Aqsa Flood campaign exposes in stark terms the apartheid of occupation on Palestinian lands and achieved through the capture of “Israeli” captives by resistance forces the weakness of the overweening power of Zionist fascism.

The US-Zionist genocide against the Palestinian people has raged on for the past two years. At least 65,000 are confirmed dead from bombardment, shelling, and indiscriminate gunfire from the Zionists. Hundreds of thousands more are still missing under the rubble or have been systematically starved to death by occupation forces. Aid has been deliberately blocked and used as a weapon to lure people in Gaza into death traps to be shot by the combination of Zionist soldiers and the US special forces of the so-called “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” that amounts to nothing more than a mercenary gang under the control of “Israel.” Complete destruction of sanitation systems, healthcare facilities, food production areas, and other crimes have had the goal of manufacturing an ecological disaster in Gaza to force the people to either die or leave to make way for Zionist resettlement of the area under the patronage of Western financial investors.

Yet the Palestinian people continue to fight on. October 7 2023 launched the heroic Al Aqsa Flood national liberation operation that pushes the Palestinian resistance to fight back until today, and the people in general to remain steadfast on their land by any means necessary. While the Trump-backed “Peace Plan” that the US and Zionists have offered to the resistance attempts to destroy the political power of Palestine over Gaza, the resistance remains united and clear eyed in their responses at the negotiating table and on the battlefield. Meanwhile, the people of the West Bank have continued to rise up and resist the attempts of the Zionist military to implement their annexation plans as the people fight to keep Palestine united as one.

The Zionist regime is near collapse and more isolated than anytime before with the fascist Netanyahu regime fully exposed for its utterly corrupt and bloodthirsty character, while the inherently genocidal nature of the Zionist settler colonial project in Palestine throughout its entire history is on the minds of more people around the world than ever before. As the resistance and the people remain steadfast to the principles of self-determination and ending the genocidal war led by the US and Zionists, the people of the world continue to pressure their governments to cut their ties with the Zionist entity in solidarity with the people of Palestine. Longtime supporters of the Zionist entity have been forced to cancel arm shipments after having been pressured by mobilization of the people of their countries, while popular governments such as Colombia have cut all ties diplomatically, and independent anti-imperialist governments such as Iran and Yemen continue to confront the Zionists openly in solidarity with Palestine as part of the Axis of Resistance.

The ILPS recently launched the “Right to Resist” International People’s Tribunal for Palestine to contribute to the global solidarity efforts of the Palestinian people, after calling for the convening of such a Tribunal during its 7th International Assembly. The Tribunal, to be held in Barcelona this November 22 – 23, will have witnesses testifying to the horrors of the US-Zionist genocidal crimes of ecocide and forced starvation, but also to the steadfastness of the Palestinian people to remain on their land by any means necessary.

The US and Zionists have been unable to break the will of the resistance and the people. The global solidarity movement taking to the streets, and even the seas in the case of the Global Sumud Flotilla, have continued to unite with their numbers swelling in hundreds of thousands to fight for an end to the genocide, break the siege, and assert the right to resist.

October 7th is a beacon for all national liberation movements and anti-imperialist struggles that shows what is possible when a people stand united and with a will to give any sacrifice as a price for freedom. This October 7th 2025, the world must continue to stand with Palestine.

for Palestinian Land Day

Statement of the ILPS

ILPS commemorates Palestinian Land Day in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their struggle for self-determination against Zionist settler-colonialism actively seizing their land and attempting to exterminate them. In the face of the renewed genocidal offensive by the Zionist entity, we call on members to militantly stand with the Palestinian people and their resistance in their fight to end the occupation of their historic land.

First commemorated in 1976 following a general strike in which 6 Palestinians were massacred by the Zionist entity while protesting land stolen from the Arab villages of Sakhalin and Arraba, Palestinian Land Day has stood as a day of national unity of Palestinians for the demands of the return of their land, the end of the Zionist occupation and settlements, and the right of return for Palestinians. At the end of the day, the struggle for Palestinian self-determination is a struggle for their land against Zionism and U.S. imperialism.

Since the Balfour Declaration in 1917, British and then U.S. imperialism has supported and used Zionism as a tool to dispossess the Palestinian people of their land in their attempts to carve up West Asia. Sanctioned in the UN’s Partition Plan for Palestine in 1947 and enacted by the Zionist settlers through the Nakba in 1948, half of the Palestinian population was displaced and dispossessed of their land. Since then, the Zionist entity supported fully by the new hegemon—U.S. imperialism—has continued to violently uproot more Palestinian people and occupy more of their land with aims to annex the West Bank, Gaza, and whole countries in West Asia through its aspirations for a ‘Greater Israel’. The continued barbaric imperialist control by the U.S. and Zionist occupation of Palestine is based on the significance of West Asia’s massive reserves of fossil fuels, but also strategic trade routes critical for transporting plundered resources from Africa and the Asia-Pacific to Europe.

In general, imperialism will always aim to expel the oppressed and toiling peoples from their land in order to deprive them of their livelihood and self-determination so they cannot act as a united political force against their oppressors. This is why the imperialists support and create fascist puppet and settler states such as the Zionist entity, which has a messianic drive to separate the people from their land and whose main ideology is to exterminate the people at all costs to do this. Land is life and central to the struggle of the Palestinian people alongside those in the countryside in the colonies and semi-colonies across the world for national and social liberation.

Now, with an over year-long genocide conducted by the Zionist entity with the full support of U.S. imperialism that has spilled over to Lebanon and Syria after the Al-Aqsa Flood, the demands that Palestinian Land Day stands on must be propagated internationally to isolate the Zionist entity and weaken a limb of imperialism in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Now, more than ever, the peoples across the world must take the streets and show unconditional solidarity with the people of Palestine and their demand for sovereignty, ending the occupation, and a right to return to their historic land.

Condemn the end of the Gaza Ceasefire

Statement of the ILPS

ILPS militantly condemns the continuation of indiscriminate airstrikes by the U.S.-Zionist entity and the deliberate engineering of the end of the Gaza ceasefire. This is part of the war of extermination against the Palestinian people that the U.S.-Zionist entity has continuously pursued to advance its expansionist settler-colonial project. The Palestinian people and its unified resistance continue to stand strong in the face of genocide and will continue to resist until the Zionist occupation has ceased to exist.

In the last 24 hours, more than 400 displaced Palestinian civilians have been killed while asleep in their tents in Gaza from the indiscriminate airstrikes, with at least 560 wounded. Since October 7th, 2023, there have been at least 70,000 Palestinian people killed with over 1.8 million displaced by this genocide. Beyond the Zionist entity’s genocide against the Palestinian people, their bloody hands have killed 2,720 Lebanese people with over 1.4 million displaced by their invasion of Lebanon since October 1st, 2024.

The end of the ceasefire was engineered with the full cooperation of the United States, not the resistance forces of Palestine as the imperialist press is propagating. In the words of the Zionist entity’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, “The operation in Gaza is gradual, and we have planned it over the past few weeks since the appointment of the new Chief of Staff [of the IDF, Eyal Zamir].” These developments are not surprising, as the Zionist entity was blocking humanitarian aid and withholding Palestinian hostages since the beginning of the ceasefire deal, but this new surprise offensive by the Zionist entity with consultation and support from the U.S. shows a further commitment to a war of extermination against the Palestinian people for their settler-colonial project and marks the U.S.’s additional focus against Iran and the Axis of Resistance in their imperialist strategy.

The surprise attack on Gaza, with clear intents of preparations for further escalation, the military and political changes in Syria, and renewed attacks on Yemen are directed by the U.S. to a geopolitical recalibration of political balance, with ultimate intent of weakening/eliminating Iran, who for many decades has remained one of the strongest, if not the strongest resistance against US imperialism.

The Zionist entity and its allies have constantly broken its ceasefire with Hezbollah by continuing to shoot civilians, conducting airstrikes, bombing infrastructure, and not ending their occupation of part of Southern Lebanon alongside manufacturing tensions at the Lebanese-Syrian borders in order to destabilize Lebanon and pull Hezbollah into a side battle so they can occupy more of Mount Hermon in sovereign Syrian land. The Zionist entity’s and U.S.’s support of the HTS-led coup in Syria has killed 4,711 people, including 1,805 executed in HTS’s ethnic cleansing campaign since December 8th, 2024. The Zionists have enflamed ethnic tensions to secure control in the Druze-minority areas and are opportunistically using the ongoing Syria-Lebanon border clashes to weaken Hezbollah and keep them from intervening in solidarity with Gaza.

The U.S. Central Command has also engaged in naval warfare and airstrikes against Yemen and their blockade against the Zionist entity, killing over 50 people and wounding dozens in recent days. This comes as Ansar Allah has resumed its naval blockade on ships and fired against U.S.-Zionist military structures in solidarity with the people of Gaza. In addition, Trump has stated that Iran must be ‘held responsible’ for ‘leading’ Ansar Allah’s defensive actions, threatening “great force, and there is no guarantee that that force will stop there.”

The death toll, displacement, and destruction caused by the U.S.-Zionist entity alliance is only rising because of their inability to accomplish any military objectives. In contrast, he resistance has grown in numbers, refilling its ranks with the full support of its people, who know that their existence and victory can only be assured by ending the Zionist occupation and ridding U.S. imperialism from the region. Now, more than ever, the peoples across the world must take the streets and show unconditional solidarity with the people of Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, the wider West Asia, and the united Axis of Resistance.

Signed,

International League of Peoples’ Struggle
