Argentina - July 1st, 2020
We hereby publish an opinion article of Ivan Leon from Argentina exposing currents such as the PTS which claim to be left but their MP’s voted laws that legitimize and support Zionism in its attack on Palestine and the Middle East
The PTS, since it was found red-handed with Zionism, has tried to hide the evidence
I read, and although I find it hard to believe, it is as I said. But the PTS can’t hide anything. Its program gives it away and shows that its legislators have consciously voted for the pro-Zionist law in the Buenos Aires legislature. The point is that they did not have their party convinced enough for this, as they did for years when they took in Stalinist Gramsci through the window.
Thus, seeking to wash their clothes, to try to cover themselves and get out of the swamp, among other tricks they propose now to fight for a “binational socialist Palestine”.
What do you mean for “binational”? In Palestine there is only one nation that must be recognized as Palestine. Judaism is a religion, not a nation. It is the US imperialists’ and Zionism that have occupied Palestine at gun point, massacres, pogroms plus the expulsion of Palestinians from their lands since 1948.
Zionist forces must be expelled into the sea. The State of Israel is a gendarme state of occupation supported by imperialism and the oil companies to defend their interests in the Middle East. A true US Imperialists › ground carrier in Palestinian territory as security arm of imperialism ...
The only minimal and democratic task there is to drive out the invading troops and destroy the state of Israel. Only then can there be democracy and coexistence even among all religions in peace. Expelling imperialism and recovering Palestine are tasks that only a worker and peasant government can conquer, supported by the revolution of all the masses of the Middle East against imperialist rule.
The PTS has liquidated the historical slogan of the Palestinian people of “Free, secular, democratic and non-racist Palestine” from the Jordan River to the sea with its capital Jerusalem.
Under the name “socialist” it conceals the “two-state” policy of the Oslo counterrevolutionary agreements, which under the UN mandate gives the Palestinian people a nation to live in ghettos and Zionism its full control, with a collaborationist Palestinian and Arab bourgeoisie... And this farce the PTS calls “dismantling the state of Israel” when the only way to dismantle it is to destroy it!
A shame. They support a true “Vichy Republic”, like the one that stood up in France under the Nazi occupation and with the collaboration of the French bourgeoisie.
“Socialist Palestine”, recognizing the counter-revolutionary occupation forces of the US imperialists’, as is Zionism on the Palestinian nation? That is to become a collaborative force with the occupant.
“Self-determination of Palestine”? That is infamous. Palestine is an already independent nation that was occupied and for decades its thousand-times-massacred people have been fighting to recover it.
The bankruptcy of the left today in Palestine is exposed by their assimilation to the policy of the founders of the wretched Zionist occupation state: Stalin and the US imperialists in 1948 and the sellout pacts of 1967.
Dozens of proto zionist groups and groupings have flooded the world... They infiltrate leftist parties and sects. Bolsheviks knew what to do with this imperialist-supported Zionist movement: to expel it from the ranks of the Russian Social Democratic Workers Party as in 1902.
Why do they appear now? It’s simple: Zionism must regain firepower in the Middle East.
Fascist al-Assad cannot stabilize rebellious Syria... The Iranian theocracy is confronted by its own starving people. In Iraq and Lebanon the masses are already uprising.
That is why laws in favor of Zionism are voted simultaneously in all countries. Zionism needs coverage to pose as “victim” and “kindly” to refill the Middle East with even more blood of the oppressed.
A gathering of pro-Zionist forces led by Stalinists and ex-Trotskyites such as Alan Woods, Peter Taaffe, deputies from Argentina’s PO and PTS, or a small Zionist group such as the RCIT, have stood up to cover up Zionism.
They will be jointly responsible for the upcoming massacres...
Fascist Assad and Putin have already done their dirty work in Syria. Until yesterday these currents gave them their support. Meanwhile they supported the Kurdish Stalinists pact with the US imperialists’ troops in northern Syria. They support the counterrevolutionary regime of the Iranian theocracy as if this were not the biggest obstacle for the Iranian workers and people to defeat the US imperialists’ offensive. And now the time has come to cover the counter-revolutionary outrages of Zionism from the left. THEY HAVE TO DISGUISE THAT COUNTER REVOLUTIONARY MONSTER... AND THEY WERE PLEASED TO VOTE ITS LAWS... but they couldn’t. They were discovered red-handed...
The civil war has long been installed in the Middle East and the social-imperialist parties... always on the side countering the masses.
But the telltale is over... They must go and return what they had charged. Come on, everybody knows what they are playing: they are the heirs to the policy of Stalinism that under the policy of “two states” has covered up since 1948 the occupation of the Palestinian nation by fascist Zionism. Even that mud of ignominy have they thrown to the flags of the Fourth International. They support from the left and are yet another collaborative force of this “Vichy Republic” of Zionism against the Palestinian nation.
Until yesterday they supported al-Assad and Putin to massacre in Syria, including tens of thousands of Palestinians from the Yarmouk camp, just 8 kilometers from the capital, Damascus.
Now, after the defeat of the Syrian revolution, imperialism needs Zionism to divide and share its new colony.
A collaborationist left travels the world. They all have one point in common: refusing to fight for the historical claim of the Palestinian nation: free, secular, democratic and non-racist.
The workers and peasants of Palestine and the entire Middle East will take it in their hands and lead it to victory.
Ivan Leon

Can the PTS inform why it has changed the content of the declaration where it raises the fight for a "binational socialist Palestine"?
