Back in September 2009 PSC couldn’t help trumpeting their victory at TUC Congress. The TUC had, apparently, agreed to a Boycott of Israel, which was indeed a victory. Later it transpired that what had happened was not all that it had been cracked up to being. The TUC had passed a motion from the Fire…

In the Report below by the PFLP, over 70,000 demonstrators rallied in Gaza for the leftist Palestinian PFLP. Independent observers put the numbers at 50,000 which is still a significant number Of course, like Israeli politics, Palestinian politics do not easily fit into conventional definitions. For the PFLP, socialism often takes the form of being…

An interesting article on the pressures to ensure that the Law of Return, the racist building block of Israeli Apartheid, is tightened up and Jews converted by the non-Orthodox and converts who have undergone an Orthodox conversion, would not be enough to guarantee Israeli citizenship. Thus one sees that the racism that Zionism has faithfully…

It is one of the hallmarks of a civilised society how children are treated. Israel demonstrates that when it comes to the children of Palestinians then their treatment is little different from those of adult Palestinians.

If anything testifies to the nature of Israeli Apartheid it is the fact that half a million Israeli settlers (including East Jerusalem) use more water than the 2½+ million Palestinians in the West Bank.

On the one hand the Scottish TUC is indicating it will cut…

At last week’s demonstration in an area the Israeli Army has designated a no-man’s land (i.e. free fire zone) 3 demonstrators were shot with live ammunition. All 3 were hospitalised and at least one is in a serious condition. This is the answer to those who call for ‘peace talks’ and ‘negotiations’ with the Israeli…

This is a guest blog by Andrew Causon on the shadowy Lewis Group and its connections with Zionist media groups and the its funding of the Conservatives. Perhaps it was the fact that the next general election was less than 6 months away, but when he presented the Dispatches documentary, “Inside Britain’s Israel Lobby” (broadcast…

When the student Senate at Berkeley, California voted for a Boycott of Israeli companies, the Zionist movement in the USA mobilised nationally to overturn it, which they narrowly did. Or rather the President of the Senate vetoed the bill, which was passed by a large majority and in the event, the Senate failed by a…
