🧵There is a political split in the petty bourgeois Palestinian leadership, and some elements are desperate to try to cover it up and silence debate about it, using moralizing identity politics to prevent anyone from elaborating a political analysis of it.

Palestinian journalist Motaz has issued a filthy statement blaming Palestinian resistance for Israel's genocidal actions. He has seemingly aligned himself with Fatah, just as the imperialist powers are promoting the quislings of Fatah as 'legitimate' Palestinian leaders.

Imperialism lurches toward escalation because there simply are no more young Ukrainian men to draft into its war against Russia. There was a massive decline in Ukrainian births after the dissolution of the USSR, and most Ukrainian men aged 20 to 35 are either dead, or fled.

Ukraine has a massive surplus - of babushkas, due to WWII and its aftermath. Note the approaching third demographic crisis. The murder by imperialist war of most of the young males now threatens the very existence of Ukrainian people.

🧵The Israelis and imperialists are deliberately starving Palestinians in #Gaza, just as the Nazis developed the ‘Hunger Plan’ to starve the Jews and the Soviet working class in WWII. If Zionism looks like Nazism, it’s because Zionists are copying #Nazi policies to conquer Gaza.

Fact: the State of Israel has decided on a policy of #starvation against the population of #Gaza. The openly genocidal statements of Israeli leaders are a simple matter of public record. They are criminal self-indictments, which cannot be reinterpreted post facto, or taken back.

🧵Today we recall the Revisionist #Zionist movement of Vladimir Jabotinsky, political ancestor of the criminal Netanyahu. Like the the Ukrainian nationalists, the dependency of the Zionist bourgeois and petty bourgeois on world imperialism drove them towards fascism and genocide. Jewish workers and peasants had an alternative to Zionism – revolutionary socialism. The conquest of power by the working class created the basis to destroy antisemitism, which arose historically, and can only be destroyed by workers acting consciously in the historical process.

🧵To hear Zionists, the Oct 7th Palestinian uprising against illegal Israeli occupation is akin to ‘original sin.’ Each act of #Zionist barbarism is justified by the ‘bloodguilt’ of #Hamas. They are copying #Nazi propaganda techniques used against the Poles and Great Britain. On Sept 3 1939, Germans in #Bydgoszcz Poland attacked a Polish military barracks, coordinated by German military intelligence. In response, the Polish majority of the town rose up and violently resisted. Approximately 400 German civilians and soldiers were killed over two days.

Canada's 'Nazi scandal' has been sitting in plain sight for decades. In 2010, the #Ukrainian Canadian Congress tried do draw a big equals sign between soldiers and others killed fighting the Nazis, and Ukrainian #Nazi collaborators who killed them. #Hunka

The 'First Division of the Ukrainian National Army' referred to above is the 14th #WaffenSS #Galizien Division. Below is their commanding officer, Friz Freitag. Fritz kept a diary, reducing his mass murder to such banalities as "114 prisoners taken, 283 Jews shot."

Today I’m going to begin to describe how the Organization of #Ukrainian Nationalists, (#OUN) progressed from publishing antisemitic articles in its theoretical journal, Rozbudova Natsii (Building the Nation) to genocidal incitement, from 1928 (left image) to 1941 (right image).

How was the #Holocaust in #Ukraine ideologically prepared? How did demands for an 'independent' Ukrainian state lead to its destruction by German #imperialism? Due to the large body of evidence, we will divide our exposé. Here we deal with the period 1928 to Spring 1933.

1941. Ukrainian nationalists under Stepan Bandera with Nazi support, organized expedition groups which followed the advance into the USSR. Instructions were contained in a document, 'Struggle and Activities of OUN During Wartime.' The document contains explicit genocidal orders. To subvert the natural aversion workers have to murdering each other, the OUN had produced constant racist incitement in its journal, Rozbudova Natsii, since 1929. But a sense of hopelessness was also cultivated. The new document attacked workers' hopes for socialist revolution.

#Canada imported thousands of #Nazi collaborators and far-right nationalists after WWII as part of a conscious policy, worked out with industrial capital, to smash the organizations of the working class. The #mining industry in particular worked to crush #socialist influence. In order to grow the economy after WWII, Canadian capital needed to re-open the country to mass immigration to grow the absolute size of the labour force, the source of all value creation. But what kind of new immigrants would be preferred?

As some of us celebrate the #Soviet victory over Nazism, let us remember the filthy role of the Canadian state, before, during and after #WWII. Prime Minister King, a vicious anti-Semite, was the most pro-appeasement leader in the British Empire, and was fond of Hitler The Canadian state's interest in WWII was to use the war to whip up #nationalism and stamp out #socialist organizing at home, and to defend British #imperialism abroad. The Canadian state was happy to take on a founder of the Nazi Party, Otto #Strasser, as a political advisor.

An upcoming conference in Washington DC on April 25th and 26th puts paid to all the phony claims which American imperialism has put forward about #NATO's war aims in Russia. The conference posits building no less than 41! 'post-Russian' petty states! 1/7

Good morning Twitter! I'm back! Profile and DMs are fully restored. Now to share with you the images that seem to have got be banned (when Tweeted in a thread including a right wing Ukrainian journalist at the Kiev Post who had blocked me for tweeting our wsws article on Ukraine) The jorno took offence to my characterization of Ukrainian nationalism as being dependent upon world #imperialism. But facts are facts. Here's a primary source - from the WWII report of the Vice US Consul to #Poland about the tight relationship between #OUN-M and the #Nazis.
