Israel, fully backed by the United States, destroys an entire country in a war that shows that US imperial ambitions extend beyond Iraq to the entire Middle East. In the name of the "war on terror", racist lies are peddled about Arabs and Muslims and our civil liberties are stripped away.  Politicians attack immigrants and call for "securing the border", giving confidence to far-right groups like the Minutemen to harass undocumented workers.  All in the context of falling living standards for workers and growing class inequality.
 

But these horrors are not without opposition.  While the right-wing is taking advantage of this climate to offer their bigoted "solutions" to the crisis, millions of people reject the wars and the inequality, the lies and the racism.  It was only 6 months ago, on May 1st,  that millions of immigrants took to the streets in the largest demonstrations in US history.  When Israel invaded Lebanon, the Hezbollah-led resistance movement was able to stand up to the Goliath and force them to retreat.  And many in the US began to draw the connections between the US, Israel, Iraq and the "war on terror", laying the basis for a new, principled anti-war movement.
 

The potential exists to build an alternative, but our side needs a voice.  Politicians across the spectrum are united in their attacks on the working-class at home and continuing wars abroad.  If an opposition is to be built, it must be built from below.  This means that our side needs ideas and strategies based on our own power and history. Socialist politics offer ideas that can help us to change the world.
