Today, as the world marks one year since the beginning of the heroic Al-Aqsa Flood in Palestine, Anti Imperialist Action Ireland sends our Revolutionary Solidarity to the Palestinian National Resistance, unified on the battlefield waging the war of National Liberation against Zionism and Imperialism.
For one glorious year, the Palestinian National Resistance has been waging the Revolutionary Armed Struggle without interruption and continue to strike serious blows against Zionism and Imperialism in the Middle East.
For one year, the Zionists backed in particular by US, British and European Imperialism have been engaged in a genocidal war against the Palestinian People, a second Nakba aimed at the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian People from their homeland, but despite the military might of international imperialism at the disposal of the Zionists they have failed to defeat the Resistance, break the resolve of the Palestinian People or achieve any of the objectives that they set out at the beginning of this war.
Today, we also express our Solidarity with Hezbollah, the Lebanese Resistance, who have been involved in the War since October 8, have offered many hundreds of Martyrs for the Freedom of Palestine and today are on the front lines defending the sovereignty of Lebanon against Zionist and Imperialist attack.
We take this opportunity to extend our solidarity and admiration to Ansarallah, the Yemeni Resistance and to the Resistance Movement in Iraq, who through there military operations have shown that Palestine will never stand alone and have made their respective nations a graveyard for US, British and European Imperialism in the Middle East.
We send salutes and our commendations to the Republic of Iran, who through the recent decisive military strike against the Zionist Entity have demonstrated that the Al-Aqsa Flood has lead to a higher stage in the war against Zionism and Imperialism in the Middle East and that the actions of the genocidal terrorists will meet with a real and effective response.
As Revolutionary Irish Republicans, we understand the nature of the fight for National Liberation which also continues in our own country today. The Palestinian Resistance and the Axis of Resistance are providing real inspiration in how the fight for liberation should be conducted, demonstrating that Resistance is the only path to victory and that a United Resistance Movement, working to a common programme of objectives can successfully challenge a more technologically advanced and militarily powerful enemy, and that a People under Occupation will always find the way to resist their oppressor.
The war now raging in Gaza and the West Bank demonstrates conclusively, as has been shown on the streets on Belfast and Derry before, that a protracted war of the people can be successfuly fought by Resistance Movements in an urban setting. The heroic deeds of the Palestinian National Resistance should be an inspiration to revolutionaries and oppressed peoples around the world, who should learn the lessons being taught by the Palestinian Resistance and apply them to the conditions in their own country and to their own revolutionary struggles.
Over the passed 12 months, the people of Ireland have demonstrated that we stand overwhelmingly with the Palestinian People and their Resistance. Millions of people have taken to the streets of every city and town in the 32 counties to demonstrate support for Palestine. In particular we commend the work of organisations such as Saoirse Don Phalaistín, Action for Palestine Ireland and the various community collectives across the country who continue to take to the streets on a weekly basis. You have refused to stay silent in the face of genocide and have taken real action in support of Palestinian Freedom.
The Zionist Ambassador remains in hiding, no longer able to function in Ireland and the Palestinian Solidarity Movement must now take continued action to force the closure of the Zionist Embassy for Good. Other Winnable demands that the Solidarity Movement must push that can have real results for the Palestinians include:
•forcing an End to all Zionist flights in Irish Airspace,
•Ending the Presence of US, British and other NATO Military planes and ships in our airports and waters
•and a continued boycott of all Zionist goods and services.
One further step that all genuine supporters of the Palestinian Resistance can take is to join the fight for National Liberation in Ireland because every blow struck against Imperialism here is a blow against the terrorist powers that occupy not only Ireland but Palestine also.
As the Al-Aqsa Flood and the fight for Palestine Freedom continues, Anti Imperialist Action Ireland will continue to step up our solidarity, building genuine solidarity with the Palestinian People through actions not words.
We call on all genuine Palestinian Solidarity Organisations and activists to work together and to enter into discussions about where our actions can be most effective to achieve real and credible results in support of the Palestinian People.
Glory to the Martyrs- Victory to the Al-Aqsa Flood- Victory to the Palestinian and Lebanese Resistance!
Saor Éire Anois!
