With the backing of President Trump, Israel has recently launched its so called ‘Operation Gideon’s Chariot’ military offensive in Gaza, seeking to impose its full control over the territory, with a stepped-up level of violence, producing a rapidly rising death toll, including now also children dying from malnutrition and starvation.
US imperialism is playing a central role in supporting Israel’s military offensive, as it does in other conflict across the globe.
The peace movement in the US plays a vital role in the international struggle against imperialism’s aggression. CODEPINK is an important part of that movement. It is a US feminist grassroots organisation, working to end US warfare and imperialism. It supports peace and human rights initiatives and redirects resources into healthcare, education, green jobs and other life-affirming programs.
In this short video, Jodie Evans talks with Charles Xu about the support the US gives to Israel’s violence against the Palestinians and US hostility to China. She explains how CODEPINK challenges US imperialism’s propaganda with actions and education – as part of a growing international movement against imperialism’s increasing violence.
