A call from Beirut: To all revolutionary forces and movements of solidarity and liberation around the world
The Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement (Masar Badil) and the Popular Democratic Party in Lebanon issue this urgent joint call to the free people of the world, to all organizers, activists, and collectives struggling for justice and liberation; to liberation movements, political parties, grassroots movements, labor unions, and student and women’s organizations: Act now to stand with Lebanon, Palestine, Iran, and the peoples of the region, and to stop the imperialist-Zionist war machine!
U.S. imperialism and the Zionist entity continue their brutal and ferocious war against our peoples and our region. The machinery of war claims more lives and devastates entire societies in Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, and Yemen, in pursuit of greater wealth and profit, seeking to impose capitalist domination and plunder the resources and wealth of our peoples.
This is the moment for the revolutionary left to assume its historic responsibilities in confronting imperialist aggression and the ongoing U.S. wars against the peoples of the world—at the heart of which are the peoples of West Asia, Africa, and Latin America. It is the moment when unity among revolutionary movements in the streets, squares, factories, and universities becomes an urgent necessity to halt the U.S.–Israeli aggression against Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine. It is also the moment to call for an alternative and possible world—one not ruled by plundering corporations, where Zionist logic is not imposed, and where genocide is not normalized as a way of life.
What is unfolding today is an attempt to impose the Zionist entity “Israel” as the sole hegemonic power in our region, to subjugate our peoples and plunder our resources—an ongoing continuation of the Zionist colonial project and an extension of U.S. imperial plans on a global scale.
We speak to you from the heart of Beirut, a capital that resisted invaders and never raised the white flag; from the steadfast fields and towns of southern Lebanon that have endured continuous aggression for fifteen months, without any firm stance from the so-called “international community” against the policies of assassinations, destruction, and relentless bombardment carried out by the “Israeli” occupation army.
We call on you to:
First: Unite all revolutionary and internationalist forces in confronting the brutal U.S.–Israeli war against the Iranian people, and stand together against the policies of the war criminals Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. Let our unified slogan be: No to the aggressive war on Iran; yes to the unity of peoples in confronting aggression; and yes to their struggle for self-determination and dignity.
Second: Set aside all legitimate ideological and political differences in order to achieve our shared objective: confronting the primary enemy represented by imperialism, Zionism, and all forms of domination and colonialism.
Third: Declare International Quds Day, Friday, March 13, a global day against war and aggression, and a day of solidarity and unity for Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon, affirming the peoples’ right to liberation, sovereignty, and self-determination.

Since the early hours of Monday, March 2, thousands have been displaced from southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut by Zionist forces waging a campaign of terror bombing targeting the Lebanese people, while officials of the Zionist entity openly declare their plans to occupy and seize more Lebanese land. Over the past fifteen months, since the so-called “ceasefire” in November 2024, Zionist forces have violated the ceasefire more than ten thousand times. They have assassinated more than 500 martyrs, abducted at least ten of the over 20 Lebanese prisoners held in occupation prisons, wounded thousands, bulldozed fields and attacked construction equipment, blocked all reconstruction efforts, and violated Lebanese airspace daily with drones. The so-called “ceasefire agreement” was not respected for a single day by the Zionist forces—and now the Lebanese people and their Resistance are fighting back and exercising their right to self-defense.
The Resistance in Lebanon has made it clear that the imperialist-Zionist aggression against Iran, Palestine, and all the peoples of the region can no longer be tolerated, and that the daily attacks, bombardments, invasions, and massacres across Lebanon must come to an end. All of these assaults carried out by the Zionist occupation army are fully supported by the United States, which continually demands that Lebanon disarm the Resistance, prevents any effective arming of the Lebanese army, and arms and funds the Zionist settler-colonial project to continue its aggression. Therefore, we call on the peoples of the world to take to the streets today and every day to stand with Lebanon and its legitimate Resistance on the front lines in the South, through protests, direct action, and all forms of active struggle.
The aggression and invasion against Lebanon began only two days after the comprehensive aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran and the assassination of Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, in a joint attack carried out by U.S. imperialism and the Zionist entity. They have already carried out a massacre of more than 160 schoolgirls, attacked hospitals, schools, and central residential areas, and their assault has claimed the lives of more than 780 martyrs. However, the United States and “Israel” are not alone in this aggression—it has been enabled, supported, and endorsed by Germany, France, Canada, Australia, and other imperialist powers, as well as by reactionary Arab regimes in the region. The powerful self-defense exercised by the Islamic Republic of Iran and its military forces, representing the millions who have taken to the streets to mourn their martyred leader and demand accountability for imperialist war criminals, is a defense of humanity against the most brutal forces of exploitation and imperialism in the world today and an anti-colonial liberation struggle defending the entire region against the perpetrators of genocide.
The all-out battle in Lebanon and Iran has Palestine at its core. The Islamic Republic of Iran has been targeted because it represents a model of independent development in West Asia, because it has survived sanctions designed to destroy it for more than 46 years, and fundamentally because it continues to support and participate in the struggle for the liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea. The defense of Palestine, the end of genocide, and the hope for liberation stand at the heart of the struggle to defend Iran and Lebanon and to liberate the region from U.S. imperialism and its bases. As in Lebanon, the Zionist entity is daily violating the “ceasefire” in Gaza, assassinating, massacring, and besieging the Palestinian people, stealing land throughout the West Bank, torturing prisoners in the occupation’s dungeons, shuttering Al-Aqsa Mosque and holy sites throughout Palestine.
We know that you, comrades, have taken to the streets over the past years—before and after the Al-Aqsa Flood operation—against the imperialist-Zionist genocide in Gaza and throughout occupied Palestine. Many of you have been arrested, lost your jobs, or faced repression by states as part of the imperialist regimes’ participation in genocide. Many grassroots organizations have been designated as “terrorist” and banned in an attempt to suppress this movement. Some of you may note that these mass mobilizations have not yet ended the genocide. It is true that these actions have not yet been sufficient to end the imperialist-Zionist project—but that does not make them any less necessary or urgent.
This is the moment for broad mass organizing, to fill the streets and squares, and to escalate direct action to shut down the war machine. Revolutionary movements—especially in the imperial core—bear the responsibility of playing their role today in this great battle for Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, Venezuela, Cuba, the countries of the African Sahel, and others, and for the future of humanity itself.
Our peoples have continued their struggle for more than a century against colonialism and occupation, and they will persist in upholding their legitimate national rights and their struggle for freedom, justice, and dignity.
Salute to all our comrades in liberation movements and forces of shared struggle.
Together to build the united international front against imperialism, Zionism, and racism.
Victory belongs to the struggling peoples.
