NEW STAGE AFTER JENIN RAID
[[link removed]]
Palestine Chronicle
The 2002 invasion of major Palestinian cities and population centers
left hundreds of Palestinians dead and thousands wounded. From Jenin
to Nablus to elsewhere, Israel killed, wounded, or arrested most of
the Resistance fighters. Two decades later, the armed resistance in
the West Bank is resurfacing, is decentralized and is operating in
complete independence from the PA.

_Lorena Arroyo_ / EL PAÍS (Madrid)
Bernardo Arévalo, the candidate for the Seed Movement – a
center-left political party – affirms that, in the runoff election
scheduled for August, he will seek alliances with ‘all who have a
constructive attitude and who are against corruption’.

FRENCH LEFT: MOURNFUL AND ANGRY

_CGT et al._ / International Viewpoint (Paris)
The shooting of Nahel by a police officer at point-blank range in
Nanterre has laid bare the effects of decades of discriminatory and
security-based public policies targeting working-class neighbourhoods
and the young people who grow up there. We need to start from new
foundations, create broad forums for discussion and learn from the
mistakes of decades of public policy.

_Sue Bull_ / Green Left (Sydney)
The Ecosocialism 2023: A World Beyond Capitalism conference, hosted
by _Green Left _and co-sponsored by Socialist Alliance, drew
hundreds to Victorian Trades Hall over July 1–2. Socialists from
India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore spoke on
their struggles to oppose militarism, fight for climate justice and
organizing experiences.

SPAIN: TAKING ON THE RISING RIGHT
[[link removed]]
_Eoghan Gilmartin_ / Novara Media (London)
In an election campaign dominated by the threat of post-fascist Vox
advancing from parliament to cabinet, Sumar’s universal inheritance
proposal finally moved the debate onto the left’s terms. The
electoral coalition’s overall program concentrates on guaranteeing a
series of tangible new rights around work, housing and healthcare, to
counter the appeal of far right xenophobia.

URBAN RESISTANCE

_Mong Palatino_ / Global Voices (Amsterdam)
Despite mass arrests and violence, opposition against the junta
continues to garner public support as seen in the
coordinated “silent strike” across the country. Activists either
joined the armed resistance in rural communities or sustained the
opposition in urban centers. Global Voices interviewed the Yangon
Revolution Force and the Artists Collective about the status and
prospect of the urban struggle.

HOUSING AND LAND OCCUPATION IN BRAZIL
[[link removed]]
_Nazaret Castro and Helena Silvestre_ / Equal Times (Brussels)
I’m from the favela and I was active in neighbourhoods that emerged
from past occupations that took root and went on to become urban
peripheries. Occupations of this kind meant being involved in the
birth of a neighbourhood and being able to think about new ways of
living together, with a blank canvas, without the geography and its
dynamic of precariousness imposing limits on us.

UK: UNITING FOUR TEACHERS’ UNIONS
[[link removed]]
_Richard Adams_ / The Guardian (London)
Teachers could launch the biggest strikes in a decade from September
as part of a “united front” by all four education unions
in England, the next head of the biggest union has warned. The new
general secretary of the National Education Union, Daniel Kebede
predicted that overruling the results of an independent pay review
body would spark outrage among teachers and further strikes.

ON THE ANC AND THE FUTURE
[[link removed]]
_Raymond Suttner_ / Polity (Johannesburg)
With apparently no possibility of rebuilding the ANC into an
organisation that cares for the people and no alternative political
party electorally that can be looked to for an answer, what does one
do? There needs to be some form of organised power to buttress
democratic rights, to ensure that there is pressure to ensure that
these rights are realised and carried out by elected representatives.
