Workers and youth in Britain are rightly outraged by the oppression of the Palestinian people, and by the complicity of ‘our’ ruling class in this repression. Through organisation, mobilisation, and mass action, we can offer genuine solidarity.
Our series on Israel-Palestine continues with an examination of the proposals presented by reformists – particularly the suggestions for a ‘two-state’ or ‘one-state’ solution. Instead, workers and youth must fight for a revolutionary way forward.
On Saturday, activists marched through the streets of London in protest against the continued oppression of the Palestinian people at the hands of the Israeli state. Socialist Appeal comrades joined the demo, calling for a revolutionary way forward.
Labour’s right-wing leadership continues to give its support to the reactionary Israeli state. Genuine internationalists must take up the struggle of the Palestinians, which includes the struggle against British imperialism.
Mass demonstrations were seen in cities across the country over the weekend, as workers and youth took to the streets to condemn the crimes of Israeli imperialism, and to show support for the Palestinian liberation struggle. Intifada until victory!
Trump’s recently announced “Deal of the Century” to broker “peace” in Israel-Palestine is a laundry list of humiliating terms for the Palestinians, aimed at giving full US backing to Israeli expansionism.
Last Saturday, activists from across the country took to the streets in London in solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine. Socialist Appeal supporters were present, calling for a socialist solution to the crisis in the Middle East.
Marxists stand in full solidarity with the Palestinian masses against the brutality of the Israeli ruling class. Ultimately, we understand that only a socialist revolution offers any hope for a meaningful solution to the problems in the Middle East. What therefore is our attitude towards the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (“BDS”) campaign, and what can we do internationally to show solidarity with the Palestinian masses?
On Saturday 19th July, tens of thousands gathered outside 10 Downing Street and marched to the Israeli embassy in London to protest against the Israeli government’s military attacks on Gaza, which escalated last week with a ground invasion by the Israeli military. The mood amongst demonstrators was one of emotion and militancy, reflecting the intense feelings of anger and injustice towards the criminal attacks of the Israeli army.
The scathing remarks of Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against Barak Obama for suggesting that the
‘two state solution’ should be based upon the pre-1967 borders, just

diplomatic weakness of the imperialist leaders.
Around 300
people gathered in the centre of Cambridge last
Saturday in the biggest demonstration yet since Israel
began its assault on Gaza
a few weeks ago. A noisy rally was held in front of the Guildhall before a short
march through the town centre as shoppers were treated to the loud rallying cry,
‘Free, free Palestine, occupation is a crime!’
