In the past week, the Israeli regime has continued its massacre of innocent Palestinian civilians. On behalf of US imperialism, it is attempting to escalate war throughout the Middle East, with attacks on Lebanon and the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran.
The speeches at the WSWS' and SEP's July 24 rally not only indicted Netanyahu for the genocide; they also explained the connection between the horrors in Gaza and the broader imperialist war of which it is a part.
The WSWS and the SEP put forward a strategy oriented to the working class. As WSWS International Editorial Board Chairman David North explained:
"The building of an antiwar movement requires the mobilization of the working class as an international force.
"It requires the establishment of the political independence of the working class.
"And it requires a perspective that has as its aim not protesting to the capitalists, appealing to them to adopt a peaceful policy, but explaining to the working class that if they want to put an end to these horrors, if they want to secure the future, they have to conquer power."
The WSWS and the SEP are systematically fighting to develop the political consciousness of the working class on the basis of the lessons of history.
The July 24 rally in DC marked a critical step forward in the process of political differentiation and clarification.
But there is an enormous amount of work to be done.
We need your financial support to hold more meetings, print more leaflets, expand our staff, and more.
