Palestine Affairs

Posted by: John Phoenix ‘…[Israelis] don’t have to explain themselves to the world. Israel [should just] focus on the things that make them incredible …their ingenuity, their innovation, their compassion, …on being exceptional.’~ Jared Kushner Jared, You forgot killing. Israeli pleasures and pastimes are killing. ~ilana Iran has riparian rights in the waterways that abut its territory. ~ilana We have a “good negotiating team, the best,” blathered Trump, with respect to the individuals he dispatched to the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, April 10, to dictate the terms of surrender to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Team Trump was led by Israel firsters and Israeli assets like Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoaff (sic), and Vice President JD Van...

Posted by: John Phoenix British workers must resolutely oppose the imperialist Labour party, which is complicit in, and the active perpetrator of, the Palestinian genocide. Weighing just 2kg, the photograph of emaciated five-month-old Siwar Ashour is the latest image to horrify workers all over the world, as Israel continues to use mass starvation as a means of warfare against civilians. And if anyone was in any doubt about the deep complicity of the entire British political and media establishment, recent analysis suggests that the current ‘Labour’ government granted more weapons licenses to Israel in a three-month period last year than the previous Conservative government did over four years. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/213948852...

Posted by: John Phoenix We are being slow-walked into an openly totalitarian regime, while the organised labour movement sits idly by. The only way to have unjust laws overturned is to make them unworkable. This vital task cannot be left to conscientious individuals or small groups. Workers must demand that their trade unions and other mass organisations build a campaign of resistance that will force the ruling class into retreat. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/2170021404&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true The news that Palestine Action (PA) has been proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the British government has been met with fierce opposition from Palestine-supporting w...

Posted by: John Phoenix Workers in Britain must recognise the key role being played in the Gaza genocide by British imperialism and organise themselves to stop the war machine in its tracks. Clearly, the British and US ruling elites are determined to keep their unsinkable aircraft carrier in operation for as long as possible, no matter what the cost in human life. And since international law is powerless to stop them, it is the resistance of the people that must end the genocide and dismantle the racist, supremacist settler-colony for good. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/soundcloud%253Atracks%253A2193736579&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true Download this leaflet as a pdf.

Posted by: John Phoenix The first issue of our industrial news sheet examines recent cases of trade union leaderships failing their members and the wider working class. Dockworkers in the Italian port of Genoa have consistently led the way in obstructing the efforts of the Nato war machine. As well as stopping arms shipments to Israel they have also stopped shipments of munitions to Ukraine and to Saudi Arabia (for use in its genocidal war against Yemen). Their example is one that should be followed by workers everywhere. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/soundcloud%253Atracks%253A2233946453&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true Read the December 2025 issue of our industrial matters free shee...
