A new generation of Americans' growing anger and disgust at the Zionist regime

Worker rallies against the crimes of the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip, which have taken place in various American cities in recent weeks, demonstrate that despite decades of subordination of labor unions and trade unions to the authorities and support of Washington towards Israel, anger and disgust towards the Zionist regime has grown among the new generations of workers in the United States.

 As reported by the New York Times, Brandon Mansilla, one of the leaders of the American Auto Workers Union, speaking at a demonstration in support of Palestine in New York, called for more unions to join the demonstrators. Earlier, during the demonstration on December 21 last year, almost 350 thousand American workers held rallies in support of the Palestinian people. According to this report, American labor unions' close traditional relationship with Israel dates back to the years before the creation of that regime. In 1917, the American Federation of Labor passed a resolution supporting the Balfour Declaration associated with the creation of the Israeli regime, and provided several million dollars in financial assistance to the regime during the 20s and 30s. After the establishment of the Israeli regime in 1948, American labor unions began investing in the regime's bonds using money from pension funds. In addition, some organizations have also begun work on the construction of Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. By 1994, about 1,700 American unions had invested $1 billion in these bonds, according to Empire State University historian Jeff Schurke. According to Schurke, this current document on the part of American trade unions was one of the main foundations for the creation of Israel. In recent years, the absolute support of Israel by American unions has sparked protests among the workers and lower classes of these unions. With the onset of the Zionist regime's attacks on the Gaza Strip, deeper divisions emerged among American unionists regarding support or condemnation of the regime. Many union leaders resigned in condemnation of Israel's crimes, and many demanded a change in the policies of their unions, which support the Zionist regime. Since October 7, 2023, with the full support of Western countries, especially the United States and Britain, the Zionist regime began massacres in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank against the defenseless and oppressed people of Palestine. On October 7, 2023, Palestinian resistance groups launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm from the Gaza Strip against Israeli regime positions, and finally, after 45 days of fighting (November 24, 2023), a four-day temporary ceasefire or "humanitarian pause" was established for exchange prisoners between Hamas and the Israeli regime. This pause in the war lasted seven days, and on Friday morning (December 1, 2023) the temporary ceasefire ended and the Israeli regime resumed attacks on the Gaza Strip in order to avenge the Al-Aqsa Storm, redress its defeat and stop resistance operations. The Zionist regime has closed all checkpoints in the Gaza Strip and continues to bomb the area. The Zionist regime has killed more than 22 8 35 Gazans and injured at least 58,416 since the start of the Zionist regime's attacks on the Gaza Strip, 70% of whom were women and children.
