Trump and Netanyahu’s illegal war against Iran must be condemned by the whole world; thus, we call on President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. to declare a categorical position against the joint US-Israel war of aggression against Iran.
At the same time, we ask the government to ensure the swift repatriation of thousands of our OFWs in the Middle East while time and safe passages remain available. There are at least 2 million OFWs based in the Middle East.
Partido Manggagawa considers the Trump-Netanyahu tandem as anti-humanity – their wars of aggression and genocide more murderous than the “evils” they kill. Filipino workers gain nothing from this kind of war other than uncertainty, violence and lost jobs.
We further believe the death of Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, would not lead to peacetime in the region for peace has never been the objective of the US and Israel in waging genocide in Palestine and seeking regime change in Iran and elsewhere. On the contrary, the more likely scenario points to the escalation and conflagration of this war into a regional conflict, or worse, as the global state of destabilization serves the interest of the US war industry and its agenda for hegemony. The destruction of the states of Palestine, Iraq, Libya, Syria, the latest aggression against Venezuela, Cuba, and now Iran – are all testament to this imperialist madness.
We join the world’s peace-loving people in the fight against wars of aggression, and will continue to do so until the evil of imperialism is “obliterated”, to borrow Trump’s word.
