ROB WARZYNIAK wades knee deep through a pile of ‘dead canaries’ of Trumpist policies which exacerbated the horrors of US capitalism domestically
RIGHT now the idea of a peace settlement and a Palestinian state seems absurd given the apocalypse unfolding in Gaza under Israeli bombardment and siege.
Recent editorials in the Morning Star and a feature article by Nick Wright have insisted that the two-state solution is the only viable road to a Palestinian state alongside Israel. Calls for a one-state solution, which some in the Palestinian liberation movement support, are dismissed.
Wright wrote last week: “Those who think a single state — assembled within the existing state apparatus of Israel and including the existing populations of Israel, Gaza, the occupied territory and the West Bank — would be a secular democratic state of equal rights have abandoned any materialist and Marxist conception of the state.”
Police crackdowns on Israeli peace demonstrators combined with court rulings and settler organisations are designed to strip Palestinian families of their homes and land. The Israeli state has tried to silence both Israelis and Palestinians who resist, according to Zo HaDerekh (This Is The Way) the Communist Party of Israel’s Hebrew-language weekly
