The Israeli ruling class were disappointed with the political results
of the September 11 terrorist act. Contrary to their hopes, the
American government did not include any Palestinian group on their list
of "main terrorist organisations". Just two days after the terror
attack in the USA, the Israeli military launched a brutal attack
against the Palestinians. This was closely followed by the
assassination of an Israeli minister, Rachavam Zeevi. Our correspondent
reports on the situation.
Alan Woods and Ted Grant take a look at the current situation
developing in the Middle East after the suicide bombings and the
subsequent missile attacks on Yasser Arafat's headquarters. The
US-inspired peace initiative seems dead in the water, as Sharon
virtually declares all-out war.
A. Kramer sends us an update on the internal situation in Israel. He
calls for a united front of stuggle to be built that can challenge
reactionary Israeli imperialism and create the conditions for a
profound transformation of the whole situation. That is the only hope
for the future of both Israelis and Palestinians.
