Since October 2023, the ironclad embrace of US imperialism and Zionism have been made starkly clear - culminating in the joint US-Israeli assault on Iran from February this year.
But what has also become clear is the importance of the Gulf monarchies to the projects of imperialism and Zionism in the region, with states like the UAE and Bahrain spending the last 30 months of genocide openly aligning themselves with Israel and US interests, enthusiastically supporting their war on Iran, and serving as part of Israel’s frontline defence from attack.
In light of the Gaza genocide expanding to a regional war with the assault on Iran, this teach in, hosted by the South Asians for Palestine coalition, will connect how the Gulf monarchies underpin Israeli militarism and US imperialism in the region, are themselves underwritten by the massive exploitation of South Asian (and other) migrant labour, and have used their position as partners of imperialism to export violence to places like Sudan, Yemen and beyond.
