There is an obvious growth of anti-Jewish sentiments worldwide. One cannot disregard anymore the rise in Judaeophobia and consider it always as just propaganda and manipulation. By the way, I prefer the use of the term Judaeophobia to the more common, and in itself racist term "anti Semitism"**. Judaeophobia has to be confronted and rejected as every other form of racism, and for that purpose we have to understand its present reasons and causes and not just stop at the isolated "treatment" of superficial symptoms as propagated by many Zionist organizations and Israel.In order not to exploit your patience unnecessarily I´ll tell you in advance that I´m deeply convinced that the main reasons for the increase in Judaeophobia are basically the Israeli criminal policy against the … [read more]

The AIC is known for mobilizing solidarity for the oppressed peoples and nations of the world that are in struggle against imperialism. In most cases it is U.S. imperialism that is the chief enemy of these peoples and nations and the most heavily armed, so it is fitting that we from `the belly of the beast` extend our solidarity to these struggles, whether they be in the Balkans, in Palestine, in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Latin America and the Caribbean, in Korea or the Philippines, in Nepal, or anywhere else in the world.We see that several organizations that are participants in the Iraqi resistance are scheduled to address the camp. We would like to specially recognize the contribution that the people of Iraq have made to the world struggle for liberation and peace in the past year and … [read more]

by Anton HolbergThe website of the Anti-imperialist Camp should also serve as a platform of discussion. Therefore readers are invited to expose their views. Therefore those do not necessarily express the opinion of the editorial board. The Anti-imperialist Camp´s editorial board"By referring to what Comrade Harsh Thakor claims is a criticism of Trotzkyism as `misunderstanding` I recognize that many comrades calling themselves Maoists are subjectively sincere revolutionaries, and though we don`t know him personally we reckon that Comrade Thakor most probably is one of them. However I feel that it is necessary to correct his misinterpretations of what he calls `Trotzkyism` and at the same time to reject some of his own ideas which I think he falsely declares to be Marxist.As will be soon … [read more]

National Democratic Front of South KoreaTo the Anti-imperialist Camp 2004July 28, 2004SeoulIt is as clear as daylight that the resistance for independence is not terrorism but a justifiable right of the oppressed nations and peoples. Today we witness the ever-growing aggressive nature of the US imperialism for domination and plunder of other nations.Having invaded Iraq, it is now compelling our south Korean young people to fall a sacrifice to its perpetual occupation of Iraq. Meanwhile, it is desperate to bar our nation´s advance for reunification and ignite another aggressive war on the Korean Peninsula.The current situation manifests that the independent life and safety of nations are available only by means of struggle.We, the south Korean people, will never allow our young people to … [read more]

Commencement of Anti Imperialist Conference at Assisi, Italy on 2 - 7 August, 2004 is to our belief voice of the oppressed people of the third world. Seraiki National Party would have participated from Pakistan to apprise comrades about actual position of colonized people by the agents of imperialists. Millions of people have never experienced liberty, democracy, self governance or to live under a consensus constitution ever since the departure of British rulers in Pakistan. Seraiki which are the majority populated after Bengalis who separated themselves as Bangladesh, are treated as slaves in this former colony of the imperialists. 50 million or 40% of the population Seraikis make an alliance with Sindhi, Baloch and Pashtoon oppressed nations of Pakistan. These nations hold 90% of … [read more]

The present day US imperialism may be described as the highest stage of imperialism, a stage at which it holds its own by virtue of its financial strength, its control of technology and above all by its military might. It is also a stage at which it tends to stretch itself beyond its span of control, and unleashes the power of resistance of the oppressed nations and peoples throughout the world by its acts of wanton, ferocious and utterly callous exploitation, plunder and armed attacks on them.The recent formulation of US President George W Bush and his administration of the doctrine of pre-emptive attacks on any nation which dares to rise against their dictates, clearly demonstrates not only their drive for plundering other countries resources, but also the truth that imperialism today … [read more]

The implanted chips with identification numbers of human beings leave far behind medieval inquisition or Gestapo. The upspring of the science gives us destructive technologies: nuclear weapons, gene modifying, manipulating of consciousness etc. The economic relations that had enabled the scientific progress return the slavery and bar the way to the independent development for three fourths of the humanity. The humanity is standing before the new world order like before an abyss. We can resign ourselves taking it as inevitable and natural. We can doubt the prognosis and restrict ourselves by everyday tasks. But there is another variant – we can look for a way to another future. But is there any other future for the society where money generates power and domination over countries and … [read more]
