The ‪Internationalist Socialist League‬

The Internationalist Socialist League (ISL), based in Israel / Occupied Palestine, is a Trotskyist organization, struggling for the creation of a revolutionary working class party in Israel and for an international working-class revolution.

In our epoch, the bourgeoisie and petty-bourgeoisie cannot conduct a consistent anti-imperialist struggle, as one can learn from the PLO’s and Hamas’ betrayals of the Palestinian struggle against Zionism. Therefore, while we welcome any gains of the anti-imperialist struggle, we emphasize that real and lasting national liberation can only be achieved through socialist revolution.

There can be no revolutionary party without revolutionary theory. Therefore, the resurrection of authentic Marxism is a central task for us. We uphold the theory that the USSR after 1939 and its various copycats were all capitalist in a statified form rather than socialist. We reject any theory of “deformed” workers’ states that were created without a proletarian leadership.

As one can learn from the experience of the USSR, if the revolution does not spread worldwide, it will degenerate and be destroyed. Therefore, we aspire to build active links of solidarity between the workers of our region and the workers of the world. We are currently engaged in political discussions with the League for the Revolutionary Party, a Marxist organization based in the USA.

Today, capitalism faces an economic crisis more severe than any since 1929. Therefore, the creation of a revolutionary Marxist party in Palestine is more important and urgent than ever. Join us:

For a Palestinian workers' state from the river to the sea!

For a Socialist Federation of the Middle East!

For the world Socialist revolution!

For the re-creation of the Fourth International!
