TARIQ ALI INTERVIEWS RASHID KHALIDI
[[link removed]]
New Left Review (London)
As a result of the horrors that have been inflicted on Gaza over eight
continuous months, and which are still being inflicted now, something
new has happened. The displacement of three quarters of a million
people in 1948 did not produce the same impact. The 1936–39 Arab
Revolt is almost completely forgotten. None of those earlier events
had anything like this effect.

WEST AFRICAN JUNTAS AND LIBERATION

_Paul Martial_ / Amandla! (Cape Town)
Mali, then Burkina Faso, and finally Niger have experienced coups
d’état and subsequently formed the Alliance of Sahel States
(AES). These military juntas are pursuing a unified policy of
international rapprochement. Some see these coup leaders as new
heralds of Africa’s liberation. Unfortunately, the reality is quite
different.

LGBTQ MOVEMENT IN INDONESIA

In Indonesia, the historical acceptance of sexual and gender
diversity, including trans and same-sex practices, is currently under
threat. Despite dwindling tolerance and societal hostility forcing
many LGBT organisations into hiding, members of these groups continue
to fight against oppression and intolerance.

SUDAN UNIONS UNITE TO END THE WAR

The Sudanese Trade Union Front has announced the launch of its
charter and national declaration calling for an end to the civil war
in a press conference held June 30, according to Sudanese Communist
Party newspaper _Al-Maydan_. The war has caused mass destruction
since April 2023, leaving more than 14,000 people killed, 33,000
others wounded, and 11 million people displaced so far.

SINISTRA ITALIANA LOOKS AHEAD

_Giuliano Santoro_ / il manifesto Global (Rome)
The Italian Left (SI) held the party's first national congress after
the European elections. Secretary Nicola Fratoianni argued against
pursuing formulas: “Let's focus on the construction of the
alternative, right in the middle of the political battle. The
precondition for this is the united front in defense of the
Constitution.”

SAMSUNG STRIKERS MAKE HISTORY

_Park Tae-woo_ / Hankyoreh (Seoul)
Six days into the general strike by the National Samsung Electronics
Union (NSEU), someone in the KakaoTalk group chat operated by striking
union members who work on the 8-inch semiconductor production line at
Samsung’s Giheung plant posted a photo of their thumb, which has
become deformed from their work. “My thumb is a badge of honor from
the 8-inch production line.”

_Igor Carvalho_ / Brasil da Fato (São Paulo)
The Landless Rural Workers’ Movement launched more than 700
pre-candidates to contest the 2024 municipal elections in October,
when voters will choose the next mayors and city councilors of
Brazilian municipalities. Attendees included representatives of the
Communist Party of Brazil and the Workers’ Party, as well as the
national president of the Socialism and Freedom Party, Paula Coradi.

KAGARLITSKY: THE LEFT NEEDS REBUILDING
[[link removed]]
_Boris Kagarlitsky_ / Links (Sydney)
The left movement will have to be constructed afresh, and not for the
first time. The decisive thing, however, is the need for practical
successes, not on the level of electoral victories but on that of
genuinely successful and meaningful social changes, which can be
pointed to as examples. The people who can achieve this will shape the
political model of the movement for the years ahead.
