The change of leadership at the top of the Israeli Labour Party is still sending shockwaves throughout the whole of Israeli society. Now the new leader will come under immense pressure. Sharon with his new party is also manoeuvring. He can play the game of provoking further conflicts with the Palestinians to re-enforce the siege mentality among the Jews and he can try and trap Labour in a new coalition. These are the two dangers facing Israeli workers. |

We publish this report on the recent "War against Privatisation" conference organised by the Pakistan Trade Union Defence Campaign, which was held this past weekend in Karachi. The Musharraf regime hoped that the privatisation of Pakistan Steel would go unnoticed amidst the trauma and misery caused by the earthquake in Kashmir in October. The PTUDC brought together some 400 delegates representing workers and trade unions from around the country to organise the struggle against the selling off of Karachi Steel. |

On Saturday December 3rd over 200 people attended the founding conference of the British Hands Off Venezuela campaign at the main hall of the London headquarters of NATFHE – the union of lecturers in further education. It was attended by people from all over Britain. The majority were activists in the British labour and trade union movement, although there was also a large number of youth and students. |

We have received this report from the PTUDC in Kashmir. The report details the relief operation in the three main centres of Kashmir, as well as providing some information about a new student federation that is being organized to help in the relief work. Unfortunately the comrades have been unable to recover the goods of the Fifth Solidarity Caravan, and the goods of the Sixth Caravan are also being held up at the border. It seems that the state is actively sabotaging our campaign! We must put pressure on the state to release the relief goods! |

In this last chapter, Lal Khan looks at the future for Kashmir and the subcontinent. Bourgeois diplomacy has failed the people of Kashmir, and capitalism and fundamentalism have created disaster after disaster and offer no way out. The liberation of Kashmir and the completion of a successful revolution can only be achieved and sustained with the revolutionary overthrow of the present regimes in India and Pakistan and the establishment of a socialist federation of the subcontinent. |

Last Friday Italy was shaken by yet another general strike. Tomorrow the engineering workers march on Rome. On Saturday there is a protest against detention centres for illegal immigrants. Last October 25th, 70,000 students protested in Rome. The right wing Berlusconi government is under constant pressure from the workers and youth. It could be brought down today if it were not for the trade union leaders and leaders of the left parties. |

The regime in Pakistan is indeed a callous one. Not only did it show little concern for the hundreds of thousands hit by the quake in Kashmir and Northern Pakistan, now it wants to exploit this moment of bewilderment among the masses to speed up the process of privatization, starting with the Karachi Steel Mills. The PTUDC is mobilizing, starting with a conference of union and workers delegates this Saturday in Karachi. |

We received this solidarity appeal from the Union of Workers of the National Philharmonic Orchestra. These workers are appealing to all workers' organisations to support these comrades and the demand that this state musical institution follow policies in agreement with the revolutionary policies as stated by President Chavez, who has insisted that the Bolivarian government cannot accept any attacks on workers’ rights. |

Hacemos un llamado de clase a todos los colectivos de trabajadores intelectuales y manuales de la ciudad y el campo, así como a todas las organizaciones revolucionarias a que apoyen a estos compañeros y exijan una política al frente de esta institución musical pública cónsona con los lineamientos revolucionarias que ha planteado el Presidente Chávez quien ha insistido en que un Estado revolucionario no puede aceptar ataques a los derechos de los trabajadores. |

La retirada de los principales partidos opositores (AD, COPEI y –tras varias horas de división interna e incertidumbre- finalmente también de Primero Justicia) de las elecciones legislativas del 4 de diciembre forma parte de un nuevo intento por parte del imperialismo de deslegitimar la victoria arrolladora de los candidatos bolivarianos que se prevé para este domingo y de iniciar una nueva ofensiva desestabilizadora contra la revolución venezolana. |

Last year the PSOE leader Zapatero was swept to power on the back of mass mobilisations against the war in Iraq in the aftermath of the Madrid bombings. He has introduced some minor reforms, but has not tackled the real issues facing the Spanish working class. Now the PP, backed by the hierarchy of the Catholic Church, has been mobilising the most reactionary layers of Spanish society. The “two Spains” are back. |

Increasingly, Canadian workers are learning about the importance of the Venezuelan Revolution. The Ontario Federation of Labour, which represents over 700,000 workers, unanimously passed a resolution in support of Venezuela at its November 21st – 25th convention. This success is the culmination of several months of organizing activity by Hands Off Venezuela activists in Canada and is an important step forward for the Venezuela solidarity movement. |

“Un día histórico”. Así lo describían los trabajadores de Inveval, y ciertamente lo era. El lunes 28 de Noviembre ha marcado un nuevo paso adelante en la larga lucha de los trabajadores de la antigua Constructora Nacional de Válvulas hacia la reapertura de la empresa bajo cogestión de los trabajadores. |

While poverty levels grow and living standards fall, the American bosses keep up the pressure to drive down real wages even further. The latest example is what is happening at Delphi (that supplies parts to GM) where the bosses asked workers to take a 63% pay cut. In December the UAW votes on what response to give and GM are bracing themselves for possible strike action. |

Living standards for the US working class have been falling for some time. Inside the richest country in the world we have “third-world” type conditions for a layer of the population. |

We are publishing this update on the PTUDC’s Fifth Revolutionary Solidarity Caravan. The relief goods are being held by the Pakistani army and we have not yet been able to get them back. We are hoping that this situation will be resolved sometime next week. In the meantime, PTUDC supporters in India are organizing another caravan which should arrive in Pakistan next week. From there it will proceed to Kashmir. |

In the first part of this chapter Lal Khan looks at the role played by religion and fundamentalism in the subcontinent. The rise of Islamic fundamentalism in Kashmir was introduced by both the Pakistani and the Indian states to divide and weaken the movement of workers and students. In the second part he looks at the national question in Kashmir, and the position of the Marxists in relation to the struggle for national liberation in Kashmir. |
