About this episode

The genocide against the Palestinian people shows the real, brutal face of imperialism. While the maniacal Netanyahu regime has signed a ceasefire deal in Gaza, it continues its onslaught against the Palestinian people in the West Bank, with the backing of US and British imperialism. Why has this genocide taken place? And how can the Palestinians, alongside the oppressed masses of the region, achieve liberation?

In this session from Revolution Festival 2024, Khaled Malachi, Central Committee member of the RCP and regular writer on the Middle East, will put forward a revolutionary way forward for the workers and youth in the region.
