The ethnic cleansing of Palestine proceeds to the roar of bulldozers and tanks and the support of the US and the EU. Nuclear-armed Israel dispossesses the Palestinian people and wages wars across the region.
The devastation of Iraq by foreign armies continues. The Afghan adventure produces a rising death toll and intensified resistance. Israel threatens a further invasion of Lebanon and an attack on Iran.
- Why does the US arm Israel to the tune of $3b per year?
- Why does the EU violate its own human rights regulations to extend virtual membership to Israel?
- Why is Israel a de facto member of NATO?
How can we stop the UK Government's invasions of other countries alongside the US and support Palestinian resistance to ethnic cleansing, colonisation and apartheid?
