A Fraternal Gathering of Young People from All Over the World in the Fight Against War and For Revolution
CALL ISSUED BY THE FRENCH YOUTH CAMP ORGANIZERS
It’s now been seven months since Netanyahu, with complete immunity, has pursued his operation to massacre the Palestinian people –and this with the support of Biden, the European Union, and the Macron government, who are supplying him with ever more weapons and funding.
With the assault on Gaza’s last city, Rafah, where almost 1.5 million Palestinians have taken refuge, this imperialist war has entered a new phase.
At the same time, in Central Europe, the war in Ukraine is escalating, claiming the lives of a million young people and workers on both sides of the front. This war pits people against people in the sole interests of the capitalist class. It, too, is financed by Biden, NATO, and Macron, who are pouring billions into it. Macron and his government are now preparing to send French troops over there.
These two wars are, in fact, one and the same war that Biden and his allies, including Macron and Schultz, are waging in the interests of imperialism against the youth and workers of the entire world.
To which we respond, not one penny, not one weapon, not one person for the war in Ukraine. Stop sending weapons to Israel and Ukraine. Immediately requisition the billions spent on war and redirect these funds toward our schools, our universities, and our public services.
In this world marching toward war, we French political activists have decided to organize an international meeting of young revolutionaries from all over the world. Those present will include young people from Russia, Ukraine, Palestine, Morocco, Azania, the United States, Portugal, Mexico, Morocco, and many more (list in formation).
It will be a meeting where we can share our common experiences and learn how to organize together against the governments that want to pit the young people and the workers of different countries against each other. It will be a meeting for the fraternization of workers and youth against war, for the workers’ revolution.
This meeting will take place from August 28 to 30 in central France. Please join us!’
