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

[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.

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.
