PALESTINE: ORGANIZING THE RESISTANCE

_Razi Nabulse_ / Middle East Eye (London)
The Israeli army routinely breaks in to Palestinian homes,
intimidates Palestinians and takes them from their families. Amid
this backdrop, Jenin in recent months has been c
[[link removed]]hallenging
the status quo, turning every Israeli incursion - and there have
been dozens this year - into a battle.

The Irrawaddy (Rangoon)
Myanmar’s civilian National Unity Government (NUG) has called on
international organizations to support their endeavours to achieve
justice and peace for the country’s persecuted Rohingya ethnic
minority. The NUG also expressed great shame over the historic
exclusionary and discriminatory policies, practices and rhetoric
against the Rohingya and other ethnic groups.

_Lidy Nacpil_ / Europe solidaire sans frontières (Paris)
As many parts of Asia are going through the monsoon season, people and
communities are experiencing extreme impacts of an ever escalating
climate crisis. The people of Pakistan need our financial support, as
well as the intensification of our collective efforts to demand
climate and economic justice!

_Hector de la Cueva_ / Mexico Solidarity Network
The long-time general coordinator of the Center for Labor Research and
Advocacy in México City has spent the last four decades tirelessly
supporting workers looking to get out from under the corrupt company
unions. México’s long history with unions that aren’t operating
as true workers’ organizations has left workers with little
experience in rank-and-file unionism to draw from.

IS CHINA IMPERIALIST? PAKISTANI LEFT VIEW
[[link removed]]
_Aasim Sajjad Akhtar_ / Jamhoor
Meaningful conceptualization of imperialism(s) in the current
conjuncture demands that we neither overlook the substantial
contradictions of ‘socialism with Chinese characteristics’, nor
understate what many in the western Left have called the ‘New Cold
War’ against China.

LEFT PARTIES FORM FRONT IN TURKEY

Peoples Dispatch (New Delhi)
The new alliance, the Union of Socialist Forces, has resolved to put
an end to the conservative rule in Turkey led by Erdoğan and the AKP,
as well as defend secularism and withdraw from NATO.

issues.
