[Marxism] Re: anti-semitism and Israel

Lastly, the best intentions of "left Zionist" liberal colonialists
notwithstanding, the Zionists not only violently invaded and colonised
Palestine, many of them collaborated with the Nazis to encourage Jewish
migration to Palestine to bolster their cause. I can supply references
if anyone is surprised by this horrific historical hypocrisy (pardon the
alliteration).

Please do Ben. As long as it is not the document written by Stalin himself 
(which
the DSP publishes).


Why don't you go down to the Newcastle Resistance Centre and ask if they
can get in a copy of the dossier put out by Melbourne community radio
3CR in response to the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League (hope I got
the name right) calling 3CR antisemitic for allowing a radio program to
raise this very story. When the producers of the program (and the
station) refused to retract, but published the dossier to set out the
historical facts, I understand the ADL dropped the issue. I recall that
Resistance bookshops did stock it in recent years. Otherwise, if a
google search fails to locate the relevant facts, perhaps I'll post some
excerpts.

As to Stalin's useful setting out of the Bolsheviks' views on the
national question, it's available as an appendix in the Resistance Books
title "Marxism and Nationalism", containing writings by V.I. Lenin.
(Resistance Books 2002, 280 pp, $21.95 -- see
<http://www.resistancebooks.com/cat/nat.htm>). I recommend all serious
Marxists read it in conjunction with Lenin's writings on the topic as
taken together, the points in these texts are essential for
understanding imperialism and much of revolutionary struggle today.
