According to Charlie Pottins, thousands joined the Gaza march called by three left-wing Palestinian organisations, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine(PFLP), the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine(DFLP), and the Palestine People’s Party(PPP).

People may remember the article a few weeks ago on the attempt to sack Arab workers from Israel Railways because they hadn’t served in the army.

And nowhere is that war better expressed than in the policy of confiscation of Palestinian land to provide for a further expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The hypocrisy of the West is never…

This is an important article by the doyen of the Israeli peace movement. Shulamit was the founder of Ratz, the Citizens Rights Movement, a liberal human rights party that unfortunately merged with the racist Mapam (Labour Zionist party) and has gone downhill since. Aloni became Minister of Education and was a lone figure in supporting…
