Call for a solidarity delegation to PalestineIn September 2000, the second Intifada, a new uprising of the Palestinian people against the Israeli occupation, broke out. Its immediate cause had been a provocation by today´s Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

On the other hand, the Palestinians´ ongoing resistance increasingly puts pressure on the Israeli government. In Europe, however, public opinion has … [read more]
