  • Peru

    Thousands take to the streets of Peru following the fall of yet another government

    19 October, by Jorge Escalante

    The fall of Dina Boluarte from the Peruvian presidency was driven by Fujimorism and its reactionary allies in parliament. Congress decided to remove the president from office a few months before the presidential elections, scheduled for 12 April 2026. The controversial president of Congress, José Jerí, took over the presidency.

    Agent Orange, a slow violence that still kills

    18 October, by Collectif Vietnam-Dioxine

    The Vietnam-Dioxin Collective is part of a decolonial ecology since the cause is not only ecological but is also the result of colonial and imperialist logics and of a capitalist system that produces environmental crises (which are in fact continuous) and wars in times of crisis. We demand justice for the victims of Agent Orange, a chemical and defoliant weapon used during the US-led Imperial War in Vietnam.

    Get rid of leaders to stop war in South Sudan

    17 October, by Paul Martial

    Through their corruption and ethnicist politics, the country’s elites are plunging South Sudan into a new abyss of violence. Since its separation from Sudan in July 2011, the country has only experienced civil wars, of varying intensity. For the past eight months, Riek Machar, the vice-president, has been appearing in court on several charges such as crimes against humanity, rebellion and treason.

    A confident far-right and a stagnant parliamentary left in the Netherlands


    16 October, by Alex de Jong

    On October 29 the Netherlands will have parliamentary elections, again. In early June, the government of prime-minster Dick Schoof lost its majority as the far-right PVV of Geert Wilders blew up the coalition. Shortly before the elections, the contrast between the most important political events in the Netherlands could hardly be sharper. On 20 September, after an anti-immigration rally, fascists rioted in The Hague. On October 5, a quarter of a million people marched through the streets of Amsterdam to show their solidarity with Palestine.

  • Trump

    A Festival of Obsequiousness

    15 October, by Gilbert Achcar

    “As for the proud Palestinian people, they have spent a century proving their refusal to submit to their oppressors – whether the British Mandate authorities or the Zionist government. They will not kiss Donald Trump’s hand or show him “appreciation”, no matter what those who claim to represent them may do.”

    The impact of the Zionist project on Palestine and the region

    30 January 2010, by Roland Rance

    Since the start of the second Intifada in Palestine, we have seen the collapse of imperialism’s Plan B for the region. Plan A had been simply to allow Israel to hold on to the territories it occupied in 1967. Following the first Intifada, it became clear that this approach was not viable, and a new plan “B” was adopted.

    The imperialist strategy of the US in the Middle East

    30 January 2010, by Salah Jaber

    Since the objective of this seminar is to focus on the Israeli-Arab and Israeli-Palestinian questions, it is best to approach the theme of United States strategy from this angle in particular. Because on the one hand we do not have enough time for a general exposé on everything the US is doing in the region, and on the other, because to a significant degree that would only have an indirect relationship with the central theme of this meeting. But these questions intersect, as you will see.

    30 January 2010, by Tony Richardson

    This is a personal report on my relations with new Independent Democratic trade union movement in Palestine.

    I first went to Palestine, in solidarity, in August 2002, just after the Israeli re-invasion of the West Bank.

    30 January 2010, by Salah Jaber

    I will start out with a historical account on how positions on the question have evolved, and then go on to a discussion of the problem as it is posed nowadays. (Report to the Palestine Seminar February 2009)
