Israel’s rampage is preparing an outbreak of violence which could open up an all-out war or another genocide.

This cynical spectacle of ‘recognition’ has served to divert attention away from what Israel is actually carrying out on the ground.

While Trump has bombastically hailed this as the start of a “Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace”, his plan will inevitably prepare new conflicts, new wars, new genocides, and new suffering for the Palestinian people.

The Italian general strike on 3 October, and more generally the whole Red September of 2025, are a source of tremendous inspiration. It is our duty to draw all the necessary lessons and generalise them.

Mass demonstrations have exploded across Europe to block everything for Gaza.  This call came first from the dockworkers of Italy, in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was attempting to bring aid to Gaza.

The demonstrations and strike on 22 September marked a decisive turning point for the Palestine movement in Italy.
