Solidarity with the PFLP
Irish Republican Socialist Committees of North America
On behalf of the Irish Republican Socialist Movement, the Irish Republican Socialist Committees of North America send our revolutionary greetings to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine on the occasion of the 43rd anniversary of its founding.
When the IRSM was founded in 1974 by Seamus Costello, its two sections--the Irish Republican Socialist Party and the Irish National Liberation Army--unified the national liberation struggle against British occupation and the class struggle against capitalism into one struggle.
When the PFLP was founded in 1967 by Dr. George Habash, it too understood that national liberation and class liberation are inextricably linked. The defeat of both Zionism and capitalism are necessary to secure the full liberation of the Palestinian people.
As the foundations of the capitalist world continue to show the strain of the current global economic crisis, the need for revolutionaries everywhere to intensify their struggle is of paramount importance. The only resolution for the workers of the
world is to rid ourselves of the problem, capitalism, and build the only solution, socialism.
We in the IRSM salute our comrades in the PFLP for 43 years of principled struggle by any means necessary against the illegitimate Zionist state and capitalist exploitation. We know that the victory of the Palestinian people will be a victory for all oppressed people.
We also repeat our previous calls for the immediate release of PFLP General Secretary Ahmad Sa'adat, and all other Palestinian political prisoners and prisoners of war from Zionist prisons.
Onward to victory, comrades!
