Japanese Union Doro-Chiba’s Message to Palestinian Trade Unions
UID-DER participated in the “Fair Wages, Fair Tax System” rally organised by Confederation of Progressive Trade Unions of Turkey, DISK, with the banner “No to Imperialist Wars! Solidarity with the Palestinian People!” UID-DER column raised furious slogans against capitalist exploitation, imperialist wars and the enmity of the peoples against each other and the cruelty of Israeli state in Gaza.
UID-DER sent a short report of the rally and a video showing the workers’ fury against the cruel Israeli state to a Japanese sister organisation, Doro-Chiba, the National Railway Motive Power Union. Doro-Chiba responded to UID-DER by sending a message including their response to the urgent call of the Palestinian trade unions. We share Doro-Chiba’s message and response to the urgent call with our readers and all workers in Turkey.
Dear friends of UID-DER,
Thanks a lot for sending us the report of your massive demonstration against the ongoing genocide forced through by Israel under the direction of international imperialism.
The following message of Doro-Chiba was sent to Palestinian trade unions in response to their urgent call.
Dear friends of the Palestinian trade unions、
We, Doro-Chiba (National Railway Motive Power Union of Chiba) will respond to the call of the Palestinian trade unions and fight through to bring down the Kishida administration intending to provide weapons, financial aid, or any other kind of support to Israel.
Imperialism of the United States, Europe, and Japan seeks an outlet for its own crisis in war, a world war, and is agitating the current governments of Israel and Ukraine as its vanguard.
And in East Asia, US and Japanese imperialism is intensifying a war scheme against China more than ever, using the "Taiwan contingency'' as a pretext.
We wholeheartedly support the fierce struggle of the Palestinian people, and we will fight with all our might to overthrow the Kishida administration, a member of international imperialism: the cause of oppression of the people and the cause of war.
In heartfelt solidarity,
National Railway Motive Power Union of Chiba (Doro-Chiba)
President
