Boycotting Israel and the Italian State’s servility to NATO and Zionism

EnglishDi RdC 29 Gennaio 2024

[Comitato Angelo Baracca] One hundred people listening to more than twenty speeches from all regions participated on Sunday 28 January in the second National Assembly to Boycott Israel and Break the Complicity between Italy and the Zionist State. An assembly promoted by the Angelo Baracca Committee, which in the original programmes should have been distinctly operational, with the main objective of relaunching the boycott campaign after the three national mobilisations carried out in two months against Carrefour. But the events of the last few days have broadened the spectrum of the discussion, reserving space and political reflection for the most important events. Representatives of organisations of the Palestinian people and the rest of the world, workers and students, pacifist associations, movements and committees of purpose, radical left parties and individuals in solidarity animated the discussion for three hours of the morning.

[Rete Dei Comunisti – Cambiare Rotta (Organizzazione Giovanile Comunista) – Opposizione Studentesca d’Alternativa (OSA)] A Public Security notice sent to the Questors on the territory orders the postponement of demonstrations in solidarity with Palestine for this weekend. “As is well known, 27th January is the Remembrance Day, on the occasion of which initiatives, ceremonies and meetings will be held, in observance of Article 2 of the Law of 20 July 2000, No. 211, in memory of the victims of the Holocaust and of those who, at the risk of their lives, opposed the project of persecution and extermination. For the same date”, underlines the circular, “in some provinces, initiatives in favour of the Palestinian cause have been announced in connection with the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, and it is likely that further events with similar aims may be organised on the national territory for the same day”.

[Potere al Popolo – Unione Sindacale di Base] In the past few months, our comrades have been busy collecting signatures for two important popular initiative laws (LIP), one with Potere al Popolo for the introduction of the minimum wage of 10 euros – because we must remember that the minimum wage does not exist in Italy – and the second for the introduction of the crime of murder at work through the action of USB.

USB Transport Strike

[Unione Sindacale di Base] A very successful strike, the one proclaimed by USB last December, despite the Meloni government’s heavy climate of intimidation towards the Italian labour movement. On this occasion, it was the Minister of Transport Salvini who took charge of the repression, even before the Ministry of the Interior.

Comrade Riadh, our ‘fedayn’, has died

EnglishDi RdC 8 Dicembre 2023

It was expected but no less painful news. Tonight our comrade and brother Riadh Zhagdane passed away. He joins his wonderful life companion Raoudha who had left us a short time ago. To write about Riadh is to describe the life and trajectory of a fighter, which is why we called him ‘fedayn’ after the Palestinian fighters he always unconditionally sided with. Riadh was also a militant communist in his home country of Tunisia, from which he had had to flee because of political persecution.

Breaking every complicity between Italy and Israel: the role of the acedemic boycott

EnglishDi RdC 30 Novembre 2023

[Cambiare Rotta in International Bulletin November 2023] Today, as young university students, we took part in the participated national assembly in Rome “Breaking all complicity between Italy and Israel.” In recent weeks we have been engaged in the squares, ports and occupying universities throughout Italy, from Rome to Turin, from Bologna to Genoa, to condemn the complicity between academia and the genocide in Palestine, and the more general involvement of the world of education and research within the imperialist wars. At today’s assembly, we reiterated the necessity of the academic boycott and the demands for the immediate interruption of the agreements between MUR and Israel,

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. In Genoa, from 6 a.m., one of the main port crossings – that of San Benigno – was blocked with a garrison near the port access at a strategic junction of the traffic of trucks, diverted not without difficulty to the Ethiopia crossing, which disrupted the normal flow of trucks.

Nov. 4: The revival of the anti-war movement, alongside the Peoples’ Resistance

EnglishDi RdC 30 Novembre 2023

[Angelo Baracca Committee in International Bulletin November 2023] 10,000 people demonstrated in Rome on Nov. 4 with clear watchwords for stopping the sending of arms for the war in Ukraine, our country’s exit from NATO and cutting military spending to finance social spending. Italy’s disengagement from the war that the Atlantic Alliance is waging against Russia in Ukraine was one of the main nodes of the platform before the ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ on Oct. 7 and the Zionist escalation in Gaza and the West Bank put solidarity with the Arab-Palestinian Resistance and an opposition to the ongoing massacre back at the center of the political agenda. Recognition of the Palestinian state, the revocation of the military cooperation agreement between Italy and Israel, and the need for an immediate cease-fire enriched

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. The operation was a large-scale and in-depth offensive, the largest of those conducted by either side of the conflict since its inception in 1965, and employed some 85,000 North Vietnamese and Vietcong fighters. 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.

International Bulletin november 2023

This issue of the International Bulletin is mainly devoted to an analysis of the situation in the Middle East after the resurgent re-emergence of the ‘Palestinian question’ on the international stage, a question that has never been dormant and never tamed despite Israel’s brutality against the Palestinian people over 75 years of colonial occupation and political, economic and social apartheid. The mobilisations in recent weeks alongside the resistance and the struggle of the Palestinian people for their right to self-determination, against the genocidal policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the reactionary right wing that supports his government, have seen us active participants and promoters in numerous cities across Italy: from squares to ports, from workplaces to universities.
