Palestinians Form First-Ever Left-Wing Coalition

Palestinian politicians are uniting in a first-ever left-wing coalition to win the October local elections, Quds Press reported on Wednesday.

Qais Abdul-Karim, head of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, said in a press conference Wednesday that his party would form a coalition with four others in order to “overcome the mutual popularization (between Hamas and Fatah) which corrupts the Palestinian political process.”

The new coalition, the “Democratic Alliance,” would be committed to transparency and propose candidates who enjoy a wide base among left-wing Palestinians in an attempt to unite the Palestine Liberation Organization....

That is great news, e-paulo.

oldgoat, we also had them here, protesting the Social Forum. I think they drive around to various cities to make trouble. The usual crap abut "singling out" Israel for criticism, when a key them of the FSM is the rights of Indigenous people everywhere. And nobody is refraining from criticism of Saudi Arabia and ties to it, on the contrary.

Establishing a Cross European Trade Union Platform In Solidarity With The People of Palestine

In November 2016 over 100 trade union delegates, representing twenty nine unions and three million members from all over Europe, gathered in a historic first meeting in Brussels to challenge the EU and European governments’ complicity with Israel and establish a cross European platform in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

During the seminar trade union delegates took part in 5 thematic workshops and 3 plenary sessions. The group at each workshop came out with a number of action points to be implemented in campaigns organised by trade unions in their respective countries. The seminar was also addressed by Palestinian trade union leaders about their struggle for justice and equality. Representatives from PGFTU, GFIU, the Arab Workers Union, the New Unions and Telecommunication Union were all active participants in the discussions. The seminar was also addressed by expert speakers on the political economy of the occupation, and on the multiple ways in which the Israeli state benefits from EU financial and political support. During the two-day seminar we looked at concrete steps to strengthen ties between the European and Palestinian trade union movement; discussed and shared ways in which trade unions are effectively campaigning to pressure the European Union, governments, institutions and businesses to end their support for Israeli violations of workers’ rights, human rights and international law and explored possibilities for coordination and joint work between trade unions and trade union activists across Europe.

The delegates also brought this new trade union initiative into the streets of Brussels by holding a protest rally displaying the campaign banner.

Margaret Kimberley: The Palestine Litmus Test

https://www.blackagendareport.com/freedom-rider-palestine-litmus-test

"...There aren't many issues which clearly and unequivocally delineate right from wrong. The question of justice for the Palestinian people and their right to be protected by international law is one which gives no wiggle room for ifs, ands or buts. Israel's apartheid system is of such long standing and is so brazen that millions of people feel not only outrage but an insult to their own personal integrity and now speak up though they once demurred.

While the corporate media continue tales of phony equivalency and act as stenographers for the state, thousands of people ignored them and took to the streets in protest. It is true that Israel continues its stranglehold on politics in the US and throughout the NATO imperialist alliance. While officials throughout these nations ignored the reality of death of Gazan civilians, including entire families, protests took place in Washington, London, Paris and other cities in defiance of political leaderships.

Israel may have finally gone too far. The moment when all of the people cannot be fooled has arrived. The fence straddlers have had their day. The assault on the consciences of millions of people may have finally brought about the sea-change that was needed. Defending the rights of Palestinians is right and any equivocation on the matter is wrong. The issue is black and white. There is no room for grey. "

Good to see. It's got to grow and push back hard otherwise the ghouls of Israel will just keep trying to devour them. Too many Canadians still sitting on the fence instead of demanding their representatives stop supporting the criminal regime of Apartheid Israel . It's disgusting and completely unacceptable that this should be allowed to go on. The lives of 'representatives' [ or media] who support this racist genocide must be made unbearable until they do what they should have done long ago.

A serious international humanitarian intervention must be mounted to save the Palestinians. The long cruel siege of the open air concentration camp that is Gaza must be lifted. Start pulling the plugs and cutting ALL connections to the racist genociders of Apartheid Israel so they know we mean business. This is what Canada's 'representatives' should be doing.

Not taking urgent zoom-call hasbara briefings from Israel's consular officials on antisemitism and the evils of 'hamas rockets'. Instead arrest them for hate crimes. Tomorrow.

Then tell the Israeli government and the IDF to STOP doing everything they can to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state. It's NOT a two-state solution if Israel goes on doing everything it has been doing, continues to expand the illegal settlements and thus seize more and more Palestinian land, continues to subject ordinary Palestinians to relentless collective restriction, collective repression and collective punishment, continues to dig up the olive and lemon groves Palestinian farmers have been tending for 14 centuries-living in peace with their non-Zionist Jewish neighbors in the West Bank for virtually all of that time prior to the 1920s, since the issue was always nationalism and land, not anything else- and continues everything else it has been doing without interruption since 1948, while Palestinians are still forced to choose between statelessness in their homeland or permanent exile and continue to be offered nothing at all.

The only way to get to an ACTUAL two-state solution is for the Israeli government, finally, to start supporting it, rather than continuing to demand that Palestinians support it while THEY don't.

Palestinians have been there for at least 14-15 centuries. They have roots in the soil that are just as deep. And they are "Palestinians", not "generic Arabs"- it has never been reasonable to demand that they leave as punishment for the crimes against Jews, Jewish culture(s) and Judaism and a variety of religious traditions committed almost exclusively by the Roman and Persian empires, the Church(Catholic, Orthodox AND Protestant), the Tsars, the Holy Roman Emperors, the French and British Empire, the Third Reich, and the North American "democracies" who could easily have offered immediate citizenship or at the very least long-term resident alien or at least refugee status to not only the Jewish communities of Europe but everyone else who was fleeing for their lives from Hitler and Mussolini, but utterly refused to do so- and refused to do so for no other reason than a pointless, disgusting fixation with preserving their countries as "Christian" societies.

What happened after 1945 to Palestinians was unforgivable- the countries who were actually guilty of committing an epic betrayal of the Jews of Europe decided to atone for THEIR grievous offense by...punishing another people, on another continent, who had nothing to do with the crime.

Re: #43

Sure. Just like Canada negotiating 'self-government' and 'Modern Day Treaties' with the AFN. We know who wins that fixed game. There'll be no peace or justice in the Middle East until Apartheid Israel falls, the settlers leave and Palestinians return imho. But that future should be up to them, not us, which is why Canada must stop aiding and abetting the malevolent international criminality of the mad dog Zionist colonizers.

That accusation was bullshit propaganda spread by the early Church-if Yeshua existed, the Romans killed him because he was a colonial subject with a personal following.
