Zionism and the Israeli working class
Israeli students can protest high prices of housing rent. Israeli doctors can go on strike over work conditions. But not a single sector in the Israeli labor and student movements would voice criticism of what their state is doing to the Palestinians few kilometers away from where they are. The Israeli working class is a hopeless case. It’s totally under the control of Zionism from the inception of the state of the Israel.
Forget about a “revolution” in apartheid Israel. Yes, they are engaged in class struggle, but all Israelis are united at the end of the day in their material, economic, political interests versus the Palestinians.
This apartheid state must be dismantled. And the Egyptian working class holds the key to liberation.
Ministry of investments to be dissolved, privatization to end, says deputy PM
The newly appointed deputy prime minister, Ali el-Selmy, has announced today “an end to the privatization program, and the dissolution of the ministry of investments.” He also promised to work on returning the privatized companies back to the public sector in a “civilized manner.”
This is a historic day. Such statements wouldn’t have been uttered if there wasn’t such strong opposition to the neoliberal policies of the former regime and if it wasn’t for the strike actions in the privatized firms.
Let’s keep up the pressure.
