Victory to the Resistance

The national demonstration for an immediate ceasefire in the Lebanon and Israel out of Palestine was amazing. Over 100’000 people at very short notice. The over whelming mood was solidarity with the Lebanese people. The slogan “We are all Hezbollah” and the SWP slogan’s of “Victory to the Resistance” cutting with the crowd.

This is very short as I’m in a café and generally have no internet until the 15th but need to make a quick announcement.

Manchester Vigil/demo for Lebanon and Palestine.
1pm Piccadilly Gardens this Saturday.

Make sure you’re there

would that be victory to the resistance in terms of smashing the state of Israel completely?

Sometimes it astounds me how close the SWP get to active support of the most reactionary elements of the muslim faith. As well as those that have no qualms turning the working class upon itself through national distinctions.

lend your support to Ceasefire Now.

Here here Tom. Lets support the actions of the Labour MPs who are calling for an immediate ceasfire, whilst opposing the ridiculous slogans that were being chanted.

Hezbollah are a legitimate resistance organisation ranged a racist and apartheid state - the society they wish to make may not be totally right but Lenin say if you wait for a 'perfect' revolution you are no revolutionary. Israel is a racist supremacist state that is guilty of genocide and regularly attacks civilians on all its borders. It should be wiped off the map. The snivelling Labtory MPs will drown in the blood of the people they betray by their inactivity and aquiescense in war crimes.

VICTORY TO THE RESISTANCE!

You managed not to insult me and Tom whilst making those ridiculous ill thought out comments.

How about calling for a ceasefire and condemning ALL violence?

Which is the eqivelent of a teacher shouting "your both as bad as each other" when the smallest kid in the class finally stands up to the bully thats been bullying him for years and gets us no where. Join the international movement in unconditionally condemning Israeli actions. Realise these are the SAME actions they are (and have for years been) carrying out in Gaza and the West bank.

As Oren Ben-Dor said is this a war to defend the Israeli people or the racist nature of the Israeli state. The evidence points to the latter.

you would encourage the little kid to behave violently towards the bully? I'd chuck anyone sdoing any fighting in detention.

That's not to say that they are as bad as each other, by the way, Israel is far worse. around 10 times worse, I reckon. but socialists should never favour attacks aimed at civillians, Arab or Jew. To be honest, I think it has a lot more to do with the unresasonable and childish behaviour of the Israeli people, rather than the state per se.
