The U.S.'s bombing campaign in Syria and Iraq, now
entering its fourth week, is touted by politicians and the mainstream media as a
humanitarian effort meant to save the people of the Middle East from the threat
of ISIS. But as we've seen over the past decade of endless war, the interests of
the U.S. government lie only in securing its imperial and material interests in
the Middle East.
The same government that now claims the role as savior
of the Iraqi and Syrian people is itself responsible for the deaths of more than
one million Iraqis and the displacement of thousands more over the past decade.
Further, the U.S. presence in Iraq and Syria will only serve to foster
reactionary forces such as ISIS and terrorize the civilian population.
To
sell this war to the American people, the U.S. has once again revitalized the
"war on terror" at home, scapegoating racial and religious minorities in their
communities. The national security apparatus implemented since 9/11 has enabled
this process to occur seamlessly.
Building a global anti-imperialist
movement in opposition to the U.S.'s wars in the Middle East is more critical
than ever. Fighting for the liberation of Palestine, against Islamophobia at
home and for the liberation of occupied peoples across the Middle East are key
to the kind of solidarity movement we need to build.
