Dear reader, I am writing to you today to ask you to make as large as possible a donation to the World Socialist Web Site.
The WSWS is the voice of the working class, the essential source for news and perspective for a growing audience of workers and youth looking for a way to fight war, inequality, dictatorship and the capitalist profit system.
Over the past six weeks, the attention of the world has been on the escalating genocide in Gaza. A population of more than 2 million people is being subjected to relentless bombardment while being cut off from food, water and all the necessities of life. More than 15,000 have already been killed so far, nearly half of them children. The entire population of northern Gaza, more than 1.1 million people, is being forced to evacuate. These actions constitute, under international law, crimes against humanity and genocide. | The Netanyahu regime, hated within Israel itself, has the full support of all the imperialist powers. The Biden administration has repeatedly rejected calls for a ceasefire and has insisted that there are no "red lines" to Israel's actions. The governments of the US-NATO axis support the genocide in Gaza as part of their global war drive, which is taking the form of a war against working people throughout the world.
Despite the relentless barrage of propaganda from the media, the sentiment of workers and youth throughout the world is overwhelmingly opposed to this atrocity. Millions of people have participated in demonstrations over the past six weeks, on every inhabited continent, denouncing Israel's actions and the complicity of the US-NATO axis.
The role of the World Socialist Web Site is essential. The WSWS has published statements and articles every day analyzing the social interests that underlie Israel's actions. We have provided on-the-spot coverage of demonstrations throughout the world, distributing thousands of leaflets. We have organized meetings to explain the historical and political roots of the escalating global war. And we are fighting to connect the mass opposition to Israel's crimes to the explosive growth of the class struggle internationally.
All of this requires resources. Unlike the capitalist media, the WSWS has no corporate sponsors. We depend entirely on the support of our readers. That is why I am asking you to make the largest possible donation to the WSWS today, and to sign up to become a monthly supporter. | Sincerely,
Joseph Kishore
