Those who wage war on Palestine cannot be left in

[Rete dei Comunisti in International Bulletin November 2023] Friday, November 10, unequivocally marks a “quantum leap” in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance as far as our country is concerned. After this weekend’s demonstrations in some 20 Italian cities, the occupations and demonstrations in universities, the first occupations in high schools, the popular boycott against Israel and its accomplices-including our government and the European Union-and mass civil disobedience seem to be taking their first steps toward concrete and incisive actions.

Palestinian Resistance Tet Offensive

[Rete dei Comunisti in International Bulletin November 2023] On the morning of January 30, 1968, the Vietnamese resistance launched the Tet Offensive, named after the New Year’s Eve in the Vietnamese lunar calendar.

In Saigon, the fighters penetrated the Presidential Palace and the U.S. Embassy compound. It was a quantum leap from the guerrilla warfare conducted thus far.
