For those who have not had the pleasure of an introduction, the Spartacist League (SL) is a self-described “propaganda group” which specialises in sectarian attacks on what it calls “opponent groups” in the socialist movement. A correct view of history is important, because it informs how we organise today and how we form political policy… Read more »

Your Say
Law change the tip of the iceberg It was great to read the article on provocation in the Freedom Socialist Bulletin. Rob Hulls and John Thwaites have made all the right noises, but the whole of the Defence to Homicide Report needs to be adopted or the situation for women who kill after abuse will… Read more »
Afghan people protest failures of Karzai’s puppet regime
In May, Afghan authorities attempted to suppress huge demonstrations which erupted across the country. The media characterised these protests as a one-off event and superficially claimed that the cause was the publication of a Newsweek story exposing an incident where U.S. officials insulted the Koran. Afghan activists argue that, far from being a one-off event,… Read more »
Resisting the Bush War Machine
“For these reasons, it is absurd to condemn the resistance to the U.S. occupation in Iraq as being masterminded by terrorists or insurgents or supporters of Saddam Hussein. After all if the United States were invaded and occupied, would everybody who fought to liberate it be a terrorist or an insurgent or a Bushite? The… Read more »
Iraq, the first victim of imperialist war campaign – Time for international resistance to State terrorism!
It didn’t take long for the web of lies to unravel. Just weeks after White House resident George W. Bush declared that the conflict was over, two U.S. or British troops die each day and Saddam Hussein is alive and apparently able to direct an organised guerrilla force in Baghdad. And, of course, the so-called… Read more »
Peace is possible! A dialogue between radical Arabs and Jews
Watch the nightly news, and the prospects for peace in the Middle East seem hopeless. The Israeli State is blatantly assassinating Palestinian leaders and the right of return for Palestinians who lived decades in refugee camps is off the agenda. Meanwhile, the Iraqi people are living under U.S. occupation. But the good news is that… Read more »
Poetry: “Growing Up Jewish”
For my Bar Mitzvah I received, along with some fountain pens and Israeli Savings Bonds, a few certificates informing me that, in Israel, trees had been planted in my honor. We were taught that Israel was an empty, unpopulated desert. As a young teen, I was repeatedly shown films about the horrors of Auschwitz, Dachau,… Read more »
Standing in solidarity with Muslim women
Bush’s “War on Terrorism” has the sickening stench of racism — as wars for profit always do. In the previous world war, Uncle Sam saved “Western Civilisation” from “Asian hordes.” Today, he’s going after “Islamic terrorists” from the Middle East and Asia. According to Fred Nile, Christian fundamentalist Member of Parliament in New South Wales,… Read more »
End the Middle East War: Mass, Democratic Anti-War Movement Needed Now!
The escalation of the military offensive in the Gulf is merely the latest phase in a dirty war. George W. Bush, who occupies the White House only because his Daddy’s buddies rigged an election, is merely continuing Daddy’s unfinished business. That business, as just about everybody realises, is oil. The vast bulk of the world’s… Read more »
Palestinian and Israeli feminists spearhead new leadership in the Middle East
The violence and destruction perpetrated by the Israeli military in April against the residents of the Jenin refugee camp is one more in a very long line of atrocities committed against the Palestinian people. A crowded refugee camp was left in ruins. The death toll could be as high as 500 — many crushed under… Read more »
