Concerning the long-term solution

Camile Dagher — 2010-01-30T19:23:33Z

I will begin my intervention on the subject of the long-term solution with some rapid remarks about the last savage war in Gaza. It is a coincidence, tragic, certainly, but at the same time useful, considering that this war took place only a few weeks before the holding of this seminar which brings us together today.

The impact of the Zionist project on Palestine and the region

Roland Rance — 2010-01-30T13:33:34Z

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

Salah Jaber — 2010-01-30T13:24:48Z

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.

Current challenges for the solidarity movement

Cinzia Nachira — 2010-01-30T13:10:11Z

The reaction in Europe to the recent Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip has revealed many steps forward in Europe, but also many problems and difficult tasks either for the “specific” solidarity movement with Palestine, or for the social movement more generally.
