Socialist Equality Party holds rally against the Gaza genocide and imperialist war in Washington D.C.

The SEP rally was unique among all protests that have taken place against the Gaza genocide.

Hello, On Wednesday, the Socialist Equality Party (SEP), World Socialist Web Site, International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE) and International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees (IWA-RFC) held a powerful rally and meeting in Washington D.C. to protest the address by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a joint session of Congress. Hundreds of class-conscious workers and youth took part in the SEP rally and meeting, while thousands protested throughout Washington against Netanyahu's provocative visit. Netanyahu's address to Congress took place just days after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Israel's occupation of Palestine is illegal and weeks after The Lancet published an estimate that the true death toll in Gaza is at least 186,000. The SEP rally coincided with Netanyahu's speech before Congress, in which the fascist war criminal gave a full-throated defense of the genocide. The reality is that Netanyahu is the most reviled politician in the world, widely recognized as a war criminal.  The SEP rally was unique among all protests that have taken place against the Gaza genocide. Each speaker advanced a revolutionary socialist strategy, based on a Trotskyist program and fighting for the unity of the international working class. In contrast to the myriad protests which have been called by various pseudo-left political tendencies, the SEP rally provided a political perspective upon which to build a powerful anti-war movement to stop the genocide in Gaza, the US-NATO war against Russia in Ukraine and the developing Third World War. In opening the rally, Lawrence Porter, SEP (US) assistant national secretary, explained: "We are here to tell the truth. The struggle against genocide and war requires the mobilization of the immense strength and power of the working class and its political independence from the Democrats and Republicans." We encourage you to read about and watch all the speeches from the rally here, which powerfully outlined the revolutionary socialist perspective for fighting the Gaza genocide.  Read and watch the speeches from the DC rally against the Gaza genocide: Read more   World Socialist Web Site We're powered by the support of our readers and workers.
