Zionism is a kind of racism. It is essentially colonial. It has manifested in an apartheid regime calling itself "the Jewish state" that dominates non-Jews, and particularly Palestinians.
You can't practice anti-racism at the same time as identifying with, or supporting, Zionism

My client, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, just persuaded the UK Home Office to grant him asylum. He said Israel would persecute him because he's Palestinian, anti-Zionist, and a Muslim.
This is likely to assist other Palestinians who seek protection from Israeli apartheid.

Legal observers like

A jury acquitted the Colston 4. It's interesting to think of the north of Ireland, where the British colonial administrators imposed jury-less ‘Diplock’ courts (which were only abolished in 2007). Why? Because they knew that too many juries would acquit Irish republicans.

Astonishingly, he's not being ironic. He genuinely hasn't fathomed why judges in a *former British colony* might be "dressed like English judges". The unreconstructed colonialism of the British legal system is truly sickening.

This is a very welcome intervention by McCluskey. The trade unions openly criticising the leadership creates a massive problem for Starmer. Trade union pressure is central to how the left regroups and regains control of Labour.

This statistic is utterly shocking. In any sane society, this information would shake the UK's immigration detention regime to its foundations.
That regime doesn't work, even on its own terms. It ruins people's lives for no reason.
In last year, 77% of people detained were released back into the UK, detention having served no purpose other than to inflict pointless suffering.
Home Office claims detention only used when absolutely necessary to effect removal. Their own stats tell a different story.

Until recently the Israeli government was aiming for a 70:30 ratio. They've retreated to 60:40 because Palestinians keep existing and resisting, in Jerusalem and beyond. The Israeli regime is obviously and blatantly apartheid. No one serious can deny that.
Israel has made explicit its goal of “maintaining a solid Jewish majority in [Jerusalem],” capping the Palestinian population at 40 percent. The only way to do that, given demographic trends, is through ethnic cleansing.

Spending the evening at the Gaza solidarity encampment at City University New York. Mumia Abu Jamal just called in from prison. The Intifada is everywhere.
"The struggle of Palestinian people is linked with the struggle of the forces of revolution and progress in the world."

Can't believe David Graeber is dead. What a tragic loss.

Very few people (myself included) on the radical left seem to have any coherent answer to the question "What is to be done?" Are they just keeping it to themselves, or is the left totally without direction?

What, "the (entire?) public" voted against free movement of workers so we all just have to pack up our internationalism stall, abandon our critique of empire and labour aristocracy (did you ever have one?) and become nativists now?
That's not really gonna cut it mate.
