October 7 marks one year since the onset of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, an imperialist war which has since spread its brutality to the West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen and the broader region. This imperialist aggression would not have been possible without the bankrolling, supplying, and political backing of the world’s most destructive imperialist power, the United States. Yet, the movement within the US for an arms embargo and an end to support for genocide has only grown within the belly of the beast.
One year of resistance to genocide
The mass movement for Palestine within the US has raised the consciousness of millions who have become outraged at how time and again, the US government has made genocide its top priority over its own people.
