I AM ISRAEL
(Written by Professor Norman Finkelstein) ‘I am Israel. I came to a land without a people for a people without a land. Those people who happened to be here, had no right to be here, and my people showed them they had to leave or die, razing 400 Palestinian villages to the ground, erasing their history. I am Israel. Some of my people committed massacres and later became Prime Ministers to represent me. In 1948, Menachem Begin was in charge of the unit that slaughtered the inhabitants of Deir Yassin,…

‘Religious Reckoning’ in the Time of Genocide: Who Invented Zionism? – ILAN PAPPE
By Ilan Pappe As soon as Israel declared war on besieged Gaza on October 7, Western leaders solidified behind their favorite Middle Eastern state. Most enthusiastic support came from Britain. Though other Western countries showed immediate sympathy and support for Israel, Britain’s support in particular, is worth a pause. Israel is not simply a British ally. It is also a British creation. In the article below, written only a few days before the start of the war between Israel and Palestinian resistance, historian Ilan Pappe argues that Zionism was actually…
South African BDS Coalition Press Alert
*South African BDS Coalition Press Alert 20 October 2023 The SA BDS Coalition is outraged and disgusted at the continuation of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and Israel’s attacks on the West Bank. The SA BDS Coalition is also concerned that these war crimes are being detracted from in the media by talk of “moving” Gazan Palestinians into Egypt. Forcing an entire people to move to another country at gunpoint where they will live in tents in a desert amounts to ethnic cleansing under international law and…
France: Against the Repression of the Palestine Solidarity Movement!
Revolution—IMT in France October 20, 2023 In France, as elsewhere, the extremely brutal response of the Israeli government to the Hamas attack on October 7 has aroused the indignation of millions of young people and workers. But in the name of “Israel’s right to defend itself” and “the fight against terrorism and antisemitism,” the Macron government decreed that this indignation was unacceptable and must be silenced, at all costs. Originally published in French at marxiste.org Demonstrations in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza—and the Palestinian people in general—were banned by…

The British Roots of the Conflict in Palestine
By Saurav Sarkar Israeli flags are flying over all government buildings in the United Kingdom currently, but this isn’t the first time the former imperial hegemon has put its weight behind Zionism. In 1917, the British government issued the infamous Balfour Declaration. This brief document—67 words—was a turning point in modern Palestinian history. It committed Great Britain to establishing a “national home” for Jewish people in Palestine. (The initial language promised a “Jewish state,” but was changed later.) The Balfour Declaration contained language that was meant to safeguard Palestinians, but…
Open letter by the North African De-colonial Network
Open letter 20 October 2023 Israel-Palestine war: No peace without de-colonisation We, members and friends of the North African Decolonial Network, give the Palestinian people our full support in their liberation struggle and denounce the ongoing massacre. “Colonial forces always want history to begin with the moment their allies are attacked, thus erasing the accumulated effects of oppression, humiliation, and perpetual aggression produced by apartheid policies. We would like to stress that the history of this murderous madness did not begin on 7 October 2023. Just as it did not…
