The Abraham Lincoln Brigade was fundamentally antiracist, and would have opposed Israeli theocracy, just as it had resisted the domination of the Spanish Catholic Church.

The world is reaping what it has sown in the Holy Land. We see the US aiding and abetting the genocide of two million Palestinians in Gaza, a war crime that will stain our national honor for the rest of recorded history. If only we had listened to Albert Einstein.
