Hi People
Due to the pro capitalist and pro imperialist politics of
Stalinist Russia, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was
miss presented.

Till this day most of the "left" and the left are not really
having it straight.

To try to compare Apartheid South Africa to the naZionist
settler colonialist project is entirely out of place.

The naZionists brought with them from Europe the Racist
colonialist ideology - very similar to the Nazist ideology
and to settler colonialist of Europe in the American continent,
and Australia.

In South Africa and other colonies the European and US colonialists
wanted first of all to exploit the indigenous people.

In US, Australia and many other places the settler colonialists
exterminated the indigenous people who were hard to exploit.

Only the naZionists chose from the beginning not to exploit
the Palestinians but to expel them (as extermination was not
possible). Even the "leftists" among them used to say:
"A country without nation to a nation without country".

The present Israeli-Palestinian confrontation is the result
of the domination in the Israeli elite of those who still
wish to expel the Palestinians from the region West of the Jordan river.

The emerging section of the elite which prefer to exploit the
Palestinians over expulsion and the pragmatists that understand
that the expulsion of the Palestinians is impossible, are still
not strong enough.

The present economic catastrophe may convince wider sections
of the elite that compromise is the only viable option.

The real left do not support any nationalist or stateist solution
offered by Palestinians and Israelis.

However, anarchists and their like are the most principled
among the refusnics - especially the initiative of the high school graduates.

Before any one else started to call for it in public, our
libertarian communist Matspen was the only one
demonstrating against the occupation.

One can fight against the occupation and suppression
in the 1967 occupied territories and against the harsh discrimination
of the Palestinians who are Israeli citizens, with out supporting
any stateist and nationalist solutions.
