 The wardrums are sounding again in the Middle East. We are witnessing a concerted offensive against Iran by Israel, the United States, France and the United Kingdom. It began several weeks ago in Israel, arising out of a public debate on the need to attack Iran before it develops nuclear weapons, but since them the campaign has been taken up for example at the G20 meeting in Nice where Obama and Sarkozy appealed for unprecedented pressure against Iran, while the British press speaks about preparations for war by the USA and the UK. [Français] [Castellano] Iran-Israel: No to the war threats from the State of IsraelThe wardrums are sounding again in the Middle East. We are witnessing a concerted offensive against Iran by Israel, the United States, France and the United Kingdom. It began several weeks ago in Israel, arising out of a public debate on the need to attack Iran before it develops nuclear weapons, but since them the campaign has been taken up for example at the G20 meeting in Nice where Obama and Sarkozy appealed for unprecedented pressure against Iran, while the British press speaks about preparations for war by the USA and the UK. This commotion had the sole aim of creating a climate of tension leading up to the report on 8 November by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Iran's nuclear programme. This report, like previous ones, adds nothing that can prove that the civilian nuclear programme is hiding a secret military programme. But unlike his predecessors, the current head of the IAEA, the former Japanese ambassador to Washington Yukiya Amano, is fully aligned to Western positions. The report mentions "information" supplied by the secret services of IAEA member countries hostile to Iran, which talk about "serious concerns regarding a possible military dimension to the nuclear programme". In the absence of hard evidence, the hawks resort to insinuation and manipulation in order to prepare public opinion for a military adventure against the Iranian theocracy. It has been this way for years: threats of imminent attacks against Iran are regularly featured in TV news bulletins. But are today's to be taken more seriously than usual? It is mainly a matter of ensuring that China and Russia do not use their right of veto on the UN Security Council to block a new series of economic sanctions against Iran. Until now, the West's strategy has been to isolate and strangle the country to make its leadership more docile. The fiasco that was Iraq invites prudence... To the extent that Pentgon chief Leon Panetta has warned against the "unforseeable consequences" that military action against Iran could have. But the danger of a war is far from discounted. We cannot guarantee that there will not be attempts made by extremists in Tel Aviv and Washington that could seek some sort of provocation that would suit their goals. Because the strategic situation of Israel has deteriorated greatly over recent years, creating feverishness among the military nomenclature that runs the country. On a regional level, the military alliance with Turkey has been broken, in Egypt the ever-conciliatory regime of the dictator Mubarak has been replaced by an instable regime that is less aligned with policy in Tel Aviv and Washington. Even the difficulties of the old Baathist enemy in Syria, which is allied to Teheran, are a source of worry; there could develop a situation like that in Iraq which Islamist fighter could seek to take advantage of to carry out operations in Israel. On the international level, the mobilization around the campaign of BDS (Boycott, Disinvestment, Sanctions) has had an effect, above all among traditional allies of Israel, which at national level, the powers in the country are faced with a massive social mobiliztion. There are those who dream of putting a stop to all this by means of a "victory" over Iran. But the worst case scenario in the Middle East is by no means inevitable. We can stop the spiral of violence, but to do this we need to face the problem at its roots: There will be no pease until the legitimate demands of the Palestinian people are satisfied. Alternative Libertaire is opposed to nuclear energy both for civilian and for military purposes and supports denuclearization at a world level, which implies that the great powers with nuclear arsenals (France, USA, United Kingdom, India, Pakistan, China and Russia) as well as countries like Israel and Iran, must destroy their arsenals and not acquire more.
All foreign troops must be withdrawn from the region, and in particular the US bases must be dismantled.

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 >>
