 To keep Hamas on its legs again after the Egyptian closure forced it to its knees and to compromise with the West Bank Palestinian Authority, Netanyahu started a war that was supposed to set Hamas back on its feet, though much weaker than before the closure. The wonders of the desperate gamble that Netanyahu lostTo keep Hamas on its legs again after the Egyptian closure forced it to its knees and to compromise with the West Bank Palestinian Authority, Netanyahu started a war that was supposed to set Hamas back on its feet, though much weaker than before the closure. However Hamas - which only a few months ago was in bankruptcy, unable to pay salaries to its men, disconnected from its partners (Egypt turned its back on it, Syria collapsed, Iran had forgotten it), and pushed to the point where it was willing to sign a reconciliation agreement, or rather surrender agreement, with its bitter rival, Abu Mazen just to have the option to exist longer - was found to be much stronger than expected. Netanyahu, the strategic genius that he is, succeeded within three months and thanks to two "heroic" operations (Return Brothers and Robust Cliffs) managed to transform Hamas into the most powerful and prestigious Arab organization in the Middle East. This organization manages suddenly to wrap the whole world round its finger: donations and funds flow to it like water from Qatar and suddenly it has a chance to lift the siege, to receive benefits. Suddenly, there is chance to lessen the closure of the Gaza Strip to a bare minimum. The demands for a port and an airport are no longer pipe dreams. And the Palestinian public? Their anger at Hamas, which had not been paying wages and seemed to be in both monetary and political bankruptcy, together with their despair over the harsh conditions of life, suddenly turned into a willingness to die for Hamas and the resistance. The genius Netanyahu shoots and shoots and Hamas becomes stronger and stronger. What former secret service ("Shin Bet") chief Yuval Diskin said in January 2013 - "Netanyahu is the Israeli politician who has contributed most to the strengthening of Hamas" - is obvious to all now. Israel's strategic step of preventing Palestinian unity between Hamas and the West Bank Palestinian Authority in order to postpone any peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians that would end the 1967 occupation has resulted in the exact opposite. These days, "mighty" Israel cannot stop Hamas bombing its villages, towns, and cities. It seems that Israel will have to lift most of the siege of the Gaza Strip in order for the bombing to stop. And because of internal conflicts within his coalition preventing him from compromise with Hamas, Netanyahu will have to involve the UN Security Council, which will probably will hasten talks on a peace agreement and an end to the 1967 occupation. As a "bonus", the prolonged war with Gaza and the pictures all over the world's media have hastened the momentum of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanction) movement, which is contributing to the development of a slowing down in the Israeli economy and threatening the near-unanimous support of most sectors of the Israeli capitalist elite for a continuation of the occupation. Maybe the weekend talks between foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman on a retreat to the 1967 borders - including the division of Jerusalem - is the first sign of this split. Ilan Shalif

Embargo, cutting off water sources and air strikes against civilians have been some of the war crimes committed by the fascist Turkish state throughout this year against the revolution in Rojava. The UCL participated in the European delegation to observe the Turkish war crimes in Iraqi Kurdistan.
We – nearly 150 politicians, human rights advocates, journalists, academics, members of parliaments, political activists, ecologists, and feminists from all over Europe – have been closely following the dangerous developments resulting from Turkey’s attacks on South Kurdistan (North Iraq) since the 23rd of April 2021. As a result, we have gathered in Erbil today and decided that we must speak out. Only solidarity between the oppressed people of Palestine and the working classes of the world can end the occupation. We call on the international anarchist movement and all working-class rebels to join us in denouncing the Israeli occupation of Palestine and supporting resistance to it. Last night have shown the result of the accumulation of anger of the youth who are the main victims of the COVID-19 pandemic and crisis. There is a much increase of unemployment which brought the increase of pressure on Palestinians in Jerusalem and the multiethnic cities within Israel, as well as the intensity of police brutality in order to suppress the rallies and other mobilisations. The support and solidarity with innocent people can be done in different ways. It can be through launching complaints, expressing anger and frustration, protests, and demonstrations. The best kind of support and solidarity is boycotting all the goods that are made in Turkey and by Turkish companies wherever they are. Boycotting its media, universities, language colleges and stopping holiday bookings to Turkey. While Turkey has got so many interests in Iraqi Kurdistan the boycott is very effective. Turkey has hundreds of companies plus colleges, shops, factories there, and it is the main country for Kurdish holiday makers. In short Iraqi Kurdistan is one of the main market for the Turkish capitalists and the others. Boycotting Turkey and the Turkish goods can also put pressure on the Kurdistan Reginal Government, KRG, Iraq and the foreign companies to meet people’s demand. COVID-19, which has quarantined an innumerable number of cities and has paralyzed entire economic sectors, has not yet stopped the continuous dirty war by Turkey and its ally Daesh against the people of the northern region of Syria, who have had to continue to defend themselves without any truce. The long-awaited developments began to happen In Idlib where is the last point of the war and also the last point of the djihadist gangs supported by TAF were stucked. The troops of the TAF were attacked by aerial strike on the night of 27 February to 28 -shortly before the “ultimatum” that T.C gave to the Syrian Army to withdraw from the places it took in Idlip- According to official figures, 34 soldiers died as a result of this airstrike, It was carried out by Syria according to T.C sources. We are against the war, but we support and defending people against the attacks that they face. We offer our solidarity towards those facing invasion and repression.
The Melbourne Anarchist Communist Group’s solution to the oppression of the Palestinians is the same as for oppression everywhere. The problems of capitalism can only be solved by workers’ revolution.In Palestine, that means defeating Zionism and replacing it with the No State Solution, a society of libertarian communism that operates on the basis of consistent federalism.
Turkey’s attack on Rojava forced the SDF to choose between its own survival and protecting Kurdish territories, putting the future of the revolution at risk.
The announcement of Trump that the US would immediately stop aerial bombardments and withdraw their diplomatic personnel, while their troops would all withdraw within 3 months, officially signalled the end of the Syrian war, a war which has been portrayed as a “civil war” but one in which all of the world participated. While major powers, such as Russia, France, the UK, and the US, and regional powers such as Iran, Israel and Turkey participated directly, they had their Syrian proxies to fight against one another. The conflict, in the first place, wouldn’t have erupted without the decisive funding and support given by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Turkey and Jordan to a frightful collection of armed jihadist lunatics.
As everyone watches in horror and disbelief the unparalleled Saudi atrocities in Yemen and the unspeakable barbaric assassination of the journalist Jamal Kashoggi, the Saudi royals are increasingly isolated in the world. However, in the Middle East, they have made new friends: the Kurdish of Syria.
This article is a brief analysing of the future of Rojava in Syria in Line with the attack of Assad’s forces on Idlib’s Province . The battle of Idlib can be a crucial one for all sides who are involve especially for the regime and the Kurdish in Rojava . There are few scenarios that the Kurdish forces there and its self rule administration are facing . There is also a strong possibility after this battle the Kurdish question there can be on the top of Assad and Russia’s agenda to be resolved either way. more >>
