On Sunday, 16.9.01, only 24 hours after Ta`ayush A Palestinian-Israeli solidarity group had led a convoy of food and water to the Palestinian inhabitants of Sussya, in the South Hebron mountains, the Israeli army arrived, destroying their dwellings and water sources . 118 people were expelled from their lands to Palestinian-controlled areas (area A). This measure not only aims to punish Palestinians who participate in joint protest with Israelis, but is also another step in a long chain of IDF violations against this community over the years, despite High Court orders prohibiting their expulsion. Its political logic is that this area is scheduled for annexation by Israel.Taayush- Arab-Jewish Partnership, Rabbis for Human Rights, and the Committee against House Demolitions have invited all … [read more]

By Ziad Shaker elJishi, DallasMost of the US media has sought to offer many Americans the reasons behind the bombing of the World Trade Center (WTC) doing their best to miss the point. Particularly avoiding two words: imperialism and class struggle.Whilst experts are called upon and so many have offered their suspect opinions from reactionary idiots like Fouad Ajami to imbeciles like the Zionist ambassador to the US who was quick to ask the US to bomb Syria!Americans should know the truth now that the World Trade Center bombings have taken place and to place the problem and its solution in the proper place specifically in the two issues of US imperialism and its practice as the foreign policy of the US. We have seen many theories being offered for American public consumption in these … [read more]

Resolution of the Anti-imperialist Camp, Assisi 2001Today, in the name of globalisation the imperialist forces have opened a total war against the worker´s class and the oppressed people of the world. With their decisions which they hide from the people a handful of exploiters decide on the fate of milliars of people. Without caring about any rules it tries to bend down the countries and people´s movements whom they see as dangerous. Today imperialism can apply embargos against any country it wants. To avoid a possible revolution troups are sent and they try to make interventions, throw bombs on peoples who want to protect their independence, and continue their politics of plunder and destruction through institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank.As ist is the case everywhere, … [read more]

Richard Robison, professor of Asian and international politics at Murdoch UniversityIn just 21 months the euphoria of Wahid`s election to the presidency has become the humiliation of his impeachment by Indonesia`s parliament. It is undeniable that Wahid brought much of this on himself. Ironically, this staunch democrat proved unable to understand what politics means in a democratic system, stubbornly refusing to build alliances and broker deals with a volatile parliament. But are the dramatic events of recent days all about idiosyncratic behaviour and political naivety or is something much deeper taking place in Indonesia? Does the Megawati presidency simply signal the injection of some commonsense into democratic government? Or are we witnessing nothing less than the re-emergence of … [read more]

Resolution of the Anti-imperialist Camp, Assisi 2001Gathering in Assisi we learnt about the symbolic revolutionary action of comrade Alberto Hà­jar during the presentation of a book where the Major Gary Prado was present.
