 “Remember the solidarity shown to Palestine here and everywhere ... and
remember also that there is a cause to which many people have
committed themselves, difficulties and terrible obstacles notwithstanding.
Why? Because it is a Just Cause, a noble ideal, a moral quest for equality and human rights.”

A Statement by the PSC on Palestine, independence and the UN
Gaza Letters - Commemorating Israel’s Cast lead Massacre in Gaza 3 Years On
Wednesday 18 January 2012, 7:00 pm
Stop the hum, a special message from Alexei Sayle: Can you hear the sound of injustice?
There’s a theory amongst people who are opposed to windfarms that the constant
turning of the big blades emits a hum, a vibration which can’t be heard or felt on a
conscious level but still it gets into the bones and causes damage to the body’s organs.
To me the behaviour of Israel and the uncritical support it gets from western
governments is like that. A hum, a vibration of injustice that goes on 24 hours a day
and poisons the whole world with its malignance.
It is only when the cruel Israeli treatment of the Palestinian people stops that we will
feel the weight of this tremendous wrong lifted from our shoulders. That's why I support PSC.

Iceland formally recognises Palestinian state

"This is the day I formally submit to you the declaration of

Protest builds over Manchester University interference in Finkelstein tour
by Jews for Boycotting Israeli Goods. Posted on 5 November 2011
Manchester University has caved in to Zionist pressure and forced students
organising a speaking tour by Professor Norman Finkelstein to move his planned
lecture Nov 8 off campus. Read the article here.
Abe Hayeem, Chair of Architects & Planners for Justice in Palestine, told Conway
he was “appalled to hear that Manchester University had created impossible
conditions that would prevent Professor Norman Finkelstein from speaking at a meeting that was open to
both students and the public.”

Supporting Palestine is supporting an anti-racist struggle, posted by Hugh Lanning - 02
November 2011
Only this week Israel has announced it is to punish Palestinians for seeking recognition at UNESCO by
seizing Palestinian land and withholding Palestinian money in violation of international law. We have
seen a massive rise in international solidarity in response to the continuing crimes committed against
Palestinians. And as it is difficult to defend the indefensible, those who support Israel's actions are
attempting to turn reality on its head, to portray those supporting Palestinian rights as anti-Semitic. Read the full article.
PSC statement on Palestine, independence and the UN.
Read our full statement on the impending initiative at the United Nations.
Ghada Karmi: A token state of Palestine is a compromise too far
Pushing only for limited statehood at the UN risks strangling future progress towards
genuine justice. Only Palestinian refugees can give up their right of return.
“Historically, the current statehood initiative is a replay of December 1988, when the UN
general assembly recognised the "proclamation of the state of Palestine" by more than
100 votes. Palestine acquired de facto state recognition in many international forums,
and gained the status of a UN observer body”. Read the full article.
Recognition campaign
The UN is now considering Palestine's request for recognition. Obama’s speech to the UN was ‘a clea r
indication of support for Israeli interests’. Reports suggest that the
vote will be delayed. PSC's Kamel Hawwash has written of the UK's responsibility to
Hundreds gathered close to Downing Street to support the
Palestinians' ahead of the UN debate, including PSC members and
supporters and trade unionists. Meanwhile, the Zionist Federation held
a much smaller counter-rally, highlighting the strange and growing
alliance between Zionists, the Christian-right and English nationalists. Read more
High life, Taki lives the High Life
“Then there is Avigdor Lieberman, Israel’s foreign minister and leader of an extreme nationalist party, a
former Soviet thug and nightclub bouncer, who believes the West’s hegemony has come to an end, and
that the future lies with autocratic governments like Russia and China. His constituents are primarily
Russian and hardline, although secular. Netanyahu, who more and more resembles a Chicago political ward
boss shifting alliances and counting votes in order to remain in power, is caught in between. This is no way
to run a country that owes its very existence to Uncle Sam and the generous donations of the international
Jewish community”. Read the full article
Zygmunt Bauman: Palestinian persecution echoes the Shoah, which began with discrimination,
ghettoes, Written by Zygmunt Bauman
by Paul Mutter, with Eva Smagacz on September 5, 2011
Several weeks ago, the renowned sociologist Zygmunt Bauman gave a stunning interview to the
Polish journal, Polityka, on Zionism, the Holocaust, and Israel’s cult of war. In it he charges Israel’s
leaders with actively discouraging peace, with seeking war instead of peace, and accuses them of
manipulating the Holocaust's lessons to justify repression. In one of his most charged claims, he says
the wall surrounding the Occupied Palestinian Territory is little different than the walls surrounding the
Warsaw Ghetto.
Bauman is one of the foremost social theorists in Europe, an alchemist of post-Marxist, post-modernist
thought whose work has tackled everything from the Holocaust to globalisation to “liquid modernity.”
He is also a member of the Holocaust generation, a Polish-born Jew who survived Hitler by escaping to
the Soviet Union only to be forced out of Eastern Europe for good during Poland’s 1968 anti-Semitic
purges. As such, his words carry enormous influence, and his interview has stirred up a small frenzy.

On claims of Palestinian anti-Semitism by Robert Bernstin
“
In response to Israeli demands for recognition of Israel as a Jewish state and/or as a state of the Jewish
people, the Palestinian negotiations team should refuse to engage on the issue and assert that the
traditional terms of reference of the peace process and existing agreements serve as the basis of peace.
These terms of reference and agreements do not contemplate Palestinian recognition of Israel as a Jewish
state as a basis for peace or at all. They are based on the model of two sovereign states living side-by-side
in peace and security and a just settlement of the refugee issue (Resolution 242, 338, [194] and Road Map
). In addition, the Jewish state as currently constituted formally discriminates against the non-Jewish
population. Palestinians cannot recognise a situation which violates basic norms of international law.” Read the full article

Obama's Speech, Abu Mazen's Gamble by Uri Avnery
“No Occupation. No settlements. No June 1967 borders. No Naqba. No Palestinian
children killed or frightened. It’s the straight right-wing Israeli propaganda line, pure and
simple – the terminology, the historical narrative, the argumentation. The music.
The Palestinians, of course, should have a state of their own. Sure, sure. But they must
not be pushy. They must not embarrass the US. They must not come to the UN. They
must sit with the Israelis, like reasonable people, and work it out with them. The
reasonable sheep must sit down with the reasonable wolf and decide what to have for
dinner. Foreigners should not interfere”. Read the full article.

“Despite Israel’s many violations against peace and human rights, its apologists
continue to defend the indefensible. The Zionist project always had a black heart
with David Ben-Gurion (Israel’s first prime minister) in 1948, advocating that we
must “.strike mercilessly, women and children included,” adding “ there is no need
to distinguish between guilty and innocent.”
