It is not because the Jews rule US... It is because Israel play an essential part in the Imperial struggle between US and Russia. Though the oil is less important to US economy it is still important to its partners. The western empire elite came to Peres ceremony because Israel helped to return Egypt to US sphere of influence. Protected Jordan from being taken by pro Russian Syria, Pushed Syria out of Lebanon for a while... and supply important services all over the world. Thus, the struggle against Israel apartheid is going to be much harder than the abolishing of it in Southern Africa. However, we have here the joint non armed struggle, the tens of thousands international activists who come here to participate and return home with the torch of struggle. The Israeli Jews who participate every week in the joint struggle refute the "anti-Semitism" false claims. ...

The main theme of this issue of Organise! is the ‘Commons' and issues related to the control of and access to space. As anarchist communists we reject both private property and state ownership. Therefore, we must consider how we might organise our use and our access to the world's resources. How do we ensure that these resources are managed sustainably and equitably? ---- The idea of the Commons has often been put forward as an alternative way of viewing land and resources. However, there are two interpretations: It could refer to land or resources that are not owned by anyone but to which a designated group of people have the rights of access; or it could be land and resources that are owned by everyone. In this issue you can find radical and utopian ideas of the commons and public space. In order to struggle we need to have a vision of a different future, one ...

This issue contains articles about action against detention centres, anti-racist action, migrant/refugee support centres, experiences from Greece, AF's pre-Brexit viewpoint, and more. ---- Editorial ---- The ‘migrant crisis', the referendum about withdrawing from the EU, and many conflicts past and present are all about artificial lines that divide groups of people. ---- These borders are both physical - you are not allowed to cross from one piece of land to another - and mental and imaginary - the idea that people of one side of the line are fundamentally different from those of the other side.

In Rebellion in Patagonia Osvaldo Bayer rescued this tragedy from historical oblivion. ‘The 1921 massacre of the rural workers of Patagonia is no longer a taboo subject, mentioned as if it were but a legend.' (p467) Patagonia, in the far south of Argentina, dominated by the livestock runs of large landowners, is a long way from Buenos Aires. It may be a long way from where you are, but this is a story that resonates. ---- Rebellion in Patagonia tells how the anarchist-organised rural workers strike in 1920-21 and win historic concessions, after the army and reformist politicians opt for compromise. The landowners are intent on destroying the workers' organisation and resist implementing the agreement, which leads to the second strike (of 1921). The owners want a solution, one that leaves them in full control. ‘If the military doesn't intervene, "there will be ...

As they have driven ISIS back in northern Syria / Rojava the Kurdish YPG and their allies in the SDF have won increasing visibility in western media. While such reports often mention the key role in this fight played by women in the YPJ, there is otherwise little examination of the revolution happening behind the front lines in Rojava. That revolution is why they stood and fought ISIS rather than fleeing. This can be true of a lot of alternative media coverage. In part this is due to the limited amount of information on what this revolution involves. but it's also in part because photographs of women with guns are judged to be more striking than women workers in a co-operative bakery or a community assembly. ---- We've tried to address this imbalance somewhat, both in our coverage and through bringing a number of Kurdish and other speakers over to talk at the ...

Over the last few weeks the Manchester Solidarity Federation has been escalating the campaign against Laibaz restaurant in Bolton. As well as further phone blockades, we have leafleted in Bolton, organised a poster campaign and held a stall outside of the restaurant. The support we have received from groups and individuals has been tremendous and we would urge people to continue with their support for the campaign. ---- The owner of the restaurant, Sunar Alom, has responded to the campaign with verbal abuse and by posting lies and smears against the workers involved on social media. Needless to say, wild accusations such as these will not deflect from Laibaz's shocking treatment of its staff. Nor will such allegations deflect the Solidarity Federation from our continuing campaign in support of the workers involved. We will now be stepping up the campaign ...

The following is a speech given by Champaign-Urbana organizer Tyler Camp at the Rally Against Rape Culture, September 23, 2016. The rally was organized by Students Against Sexual Assault at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. ---- I made it a project of mine this year to construct a sort of pedagogy, or theory, of radical love. And people have directed me to all kinds of resources that are really great and radical. My friend Kaitlin pointed me toward Shine theory- which is summarized really well in the simple thought: I don't shine if you don't shine. Specifically, the focus was on women uplifting other women but I think we can expand it to all genders. Use it as a way of pushing back against gender-embedded violence. ---- And I talk about gender in a broad sense keeping in mind this concept of toxic masculinity.
