SERTUC’s ‘Communist Leadership’ Under Megan Dobney Demonstrates its Loyalty to the TUC Hierarchy SERTUC is the biggest of the 3 TUC Regions in England. It stretches from Ipswich to Brighton and includes London. Each year it puts out a handbook which lists trade union addresses and details as well as information on other ‘useful’ organisations…

Ahava Picket Larger Than Ever as Zionist Numbers Dwindle Our joy that the Ahava store in Covent Garden is closing was tempered this week by the commemoration of the memory of Vittorio Arrigoni, who was so cruelly murdered by an insane Jihadist/Salafist group in Gaza last week. The beneficiary and responsibility for Vik’s murder though…

A group of 10 activists from Brighton & Sheffield are spending up to a month in the Jordan valley, to bear witness to and help prevent, where possible, the continued dispossession of the Palestinians and destruction of their property by the Israeli army and settlers.

The Weakness and Shame of Goldstone A lot of hot air, some of which is below, has been devoted to why Richard Goldstone has effectively ditched his own report on Israel’s war crimes in Gaza. Omar Barghouti, of PACBI, the Palestinian and Academic Boycott Israel group, sent me and others an e-mail entitled ‘Dr Goldstone…

The Jewish Palestinian film director Juliano Mer Khamis was shot dead by a masked gunman in Jenin, outside his beloved Freedom Theatre. The son of Arna Mer Khamis, a noted Israeli anti-Zionist, Juliano was both passionate and angry in support of the Palestinian cause. Who murdered him is cause for speculation but one can assume…
