Tomorrow will see the first ever General Strike by Palestinians with Israeli citizenship. The issue of Israeli apartheid against Arabs living within the state is generally ignored, either by design or ignorance. For example you would search in vain for any reference to what is happening on the Socialist Action-controlled Palestine Solidarity Campaign website.This is…

Below is a powerful article from Israel’s sole liberal daily, Ha’aretz, on how repression of the Palestinians is also destroying democratic rights even for Israeli Jews. Not how Israeli Universities, Haifa in particular, have been complicit in the attack on Gaza. This is the true meaning of ‘academic freedom’ in Israel. Also posted and linked…

The reaction of Israel’s military spokespersons and government to the Goldstone Report, a report from a liberal Zionist and ex-South African judge speaks volumes. They are determined not to deal with the substance of the Report but to attack its author. I had a letter published in the Guardian yesterday pointing this and one or…

If you want to understand Zionist civilisation and the ‘most moral army in the world’ in some depth then you can take a look at these pictures of child prisoners. The 12 year old boy here was freed early from his sentence and walking back to his village, waving a cigarette lighter, he was shot…

As I have pointed out previously not only is the BNP totally devoted to Israel now, something which the Zionists have quickly picked upon e.g. the Think Israel site but their racial brothers in the English Defence League, the patsies holding demonstrations in various parts of the country, decided to picket last Saturday’s Al Quds…

The horrendous increase in overt racism in Israel, the targetting of the elected representatives of the Palestinian population, the comments about ‘dirty Arabs’ by Israeli Ministers, the ‘death to the Arab’ chants and of course the institutional racism against Israeli Arabs that results in sentences of 15 months and less for killing an Arab (but…

With all the talk of the English Defence League and how they represent a popular movement, it is heartening to hear that they were put to flight in Harrow when they sought to demonstrate against a mosque. It’s a pity that racist scum like Tony McNulty, former corrupt Immigration Minister, was allowed to speak. New…

PSC Branch Forum – Questions Remain to be Answered PSC’s Branch Forum met on Saturday in Sheffield. Whereas there is normally a turnout of about 25-30, numbers nearly doubled yesterday as the Executive sought to maximise attendance from their supporters as a result of the recent letter sent by members expressing concern at the influence…

As regular readers of this blog will know, prime among our concerns is that there is an effective and democratic solidarity campaign in support of the Palestinians. If the movement isn’t democratic it won’t be effective. And today PSC is anything but democratic, except in the most formal sense. We have in the past year…
