For the first time in many years, the Palestinian people are united, from Jerusalem Al Quds, to Gaza and the West Bank, to the Palestinian communities, towns and villages inside historic Palestine – today’s Israel. Plus – an Article on the Palestinian Nakba of 1947-9.
The ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Israel has been made possible by Israel’s utility to US imperialism. Plus: Speech by Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American member of US Congress, about the humanity of Palestinians and the need to dismantle Israeli apartheid.
Like the mythical Phoenix, Chernobyl rises from the ashes. And, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has set the world-famous Doomsday Clock, that measures humanity’s nearness to utter annihilation, at 100 seconds to midnight.
The US is a mere passive bystander while the two powerhouses in the Gulf – Saudi Arabia and Iran – are drawing close. One of them is Washington’s client state for almost 80 years while the other is an archetypal enemy for the past 40 years.
As the US withdraws its forces from Afghanistan, it is certain that the U.S., which never understood the country, is leaving it in a much worse state than when it began its intervention 40 years ago.
Twenty-two years ago, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was subjected to 78 straight days of bombardment from NATO. This crime of 1999 has indeed haunted not only Europe but the world ever since it was perpetrated; what is seemingly past is really both prologue and precedent.
The African continent – home to the cradle of human civilization, 55 disparate nations, more than 1 billion people and the most genetic and cultural diversity on the planet – is the single largest information black hole in the Canadian press (and dominant world press) today.
Ever since the Zionists forcibly expelled more than 1 million Palestinians to establish the state of Israel, Israel has been an apartheid state that has continued to oppress the Palestinian people, take over ever more of their lands and replace them with a settler population – with the full backing of the USA.
Gandhiji’s views on the Arab-Jew question in Palestine and the persecution of the Jews in Germany, published in Harijan in 1938.
19-year-old Russian activist Olga Misik – who two years ago was arrested for reading aloud her country’s constitution to the police at a pro-democracy rally – was arrested once again for ‘vandalism’. She gave a blistering statement to the court. “With such children, Russia does have a future!”
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
