International Socialism Journal nr. 145, jan 15 – side 99
Note: The reduction of current struggles in Lebanon and Syria in particular, and across the Middle East in general, to purely abstract nationalistic, sectarian and “identitarian” dimensions is one of the dominating features of the analytical and methodical logic of the Arab nationalist and Stalinist left.; Anne Alexander: Capital and resistance in the Middle East
International Socialism Journal nr. 143, jul 14 – side 165
Note: A review of Gilbert Achcar, The People Want: A Radical Exploration of the Arab Uprising (Saqi, 2013), £17.99, and Adam Hanieh, Lineages of Revolt: Issues of Contemporary Capitalism in the Middle East (Haymarket, 2013), £14.99.

These important books make a significant contribution to our understanding of the revolutions of 2011 in the Arab world. Written from a regional perspective, and both mobilising an impressive range of comparative data, they represent the most significant attempts yet to grapple with the theoretical challenges of analysing this immense popular uprising from a Marxist perspective.; Bassem Chit: Class politics can unite the Middle East
Socialist Worker nr. 2257, jun 11 – side 6

Socialist Worker nr. 2249, apr 11 – side 24

Yet the revolutions that came after these have not followed the same pattern.; Simon Basketter: Imperialism's bloody grasp on the Middle East
Socialist Worker nr. 2244, mar 11 – side 12
Note: The revolutions in the Middle East have thrown the imperial powers into crisis. That is because the control of the region has been at the heart of the West’s project for more than 100 years.

Socialist Worker nr. 2238, feb 11 – side 4
Note: Last week the “liberal” Israeli daily Haaretz carried a piece by one of its best-known columnists, Ari Shavit. “Two huge processes are happening right before our eyes,” he writes. “One is the Arab liberation revolution.

Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 270, jun 07 – side 8
Note: Midt i daglige rapporter fra Mellemøsten om kaos, „borgerkrig“, sult og flygtninge kan det være svært at se de større linier. Men meget har forandret sig det sidste år. USA’s plan for „et nyt Mellemøsten-kort“ – en afgørende del af „Projekt for det nye amerikanske århundrede“ – er i en fremskreden grad af sammenbrud.; Neil Faulkner: Crusade and jihad in the medieval Middle East
International Socialism Journal nr. 109, dec 05 – side 127
Note: The debate about the Iraq war echoes with references to the conflict eight centuries ago between Christian Crusaders from Western Europe and the Islamic people of the Middle East. These echoes raise questions for socialists. How accurate is the traditional image of the Crusaders as chivalrous knights inspired by piety? Is there something inevitable and eternal about conflict between ‘the West’ and ‘the Orient’? To what degree can the conflicts of the medieval past inform our understanding of the present and provide a guide to action for the future?; Irfan Habib: Critical notes on Edward Said
International Socialism Journal nr. 108, sep 05 – side 129
Note: Edward Said was rightly admired for his courageous opposition to the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Consequently many on the left also accepted all the arguments of his book Orientalism, including its criticisms of Marx. But, argues the eminent Indian historian Irfan Habib, these are completely misplaced.; The drive for real democracy in the Middle East

Note: Traditionally the British left has been divided in two ways over the Israeli-Palestinian dispute. There are those who see the struggle as one between the competing nationalisms of the two groups. These have looked to ‘progressive forces’ within both camps to play a role in the dismantling of the sectarian aspects of the Israeli state.

International Socialism Journal nr. 151, jul 16
Note: The Turkish left has always been very fond of “the people”.

People’s war, people’s assemblies, people’s liberation are popular concepts and aims.

Socialist Review nr. 379, apr 13 – side 10

Socialist Worker nr. 2256, jun 11 – side 4
Note: Why have Turks voted the same party into government three times running?

The Justice and Development Party (AKP) is conservative and its government implements neoliberal economic policies strictly in line with the wishes of big business. Yet it just got 49.8 percent of the vote, up 3 percent from the last elections and up 15 percent from 2002.; Ron Margulies: Turkey stops being a ‘reliable friend’ of Israel
Socialist Worker nr. 2136, jan 09 – side 9

Socialist Worker nr. 2134, jan 09 – side 2

International Socialism Journal nr. 145, jan 15 – side 47

Libya, Syria and Iraq present grim variations on the theme of “failed states”.

Note: Om vi lytter til den danske regering eller læser pressens dækning af Syrien, er billedet det samme: ”Der er ingen gode løsninger i Syrien”, ”det er et snigende folkemord”, den syriske befolkning er magtesløse overfor Assads militær lyder historien.

Note: Den palæstinensiske modstandsorganisation Hamas tog fredag i sidste uge offentligt afstand fra det syriske regime.

Note: Israel suffered an unexpected defeat in its 33-day Lebanon war. So did its major backers, George Bush and Tony Blair. Hizbollah is riding high, the toast of nationalist opinion right across of the Arab world. But what is the character of the Hizbollah's mix of religion and politics?

Note: Den israelske stats officielle ideologi, zionismen, har været en katastrofe for jøder og arabere.

Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 195, aug 01 – side 12
Note: Det er hykleri, når regeringen siger, at kampen for menneskerettigheder står højt på dens dagsorden. For selvom Israel sender en af dets torturbødler, Carmi Gillon, som ny ambassadør, så har hverken Nyrup eller Lykketoft tænkt sig at gøre andet end at byde ham velkommen som enhver anden.; Margit Johansen: Israel optrapper krigen

Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 16, jan 86 – side 3
Note: Terroraktioner imod civile mål eller flykapringer indeholder ikke den politiske kraft til at realisere palæstinensernes kamp for et frit Palæstina. Men terroraktionerne må forstås på baggrund af årelang terrorisme fra den israelske stat mod det palæstinensiske folk.; Tony Cliff: Zionism to Genocide
Socialist Worker nr. 790, jul 82
Note: LOOKING BACK on my own experience in Palestine I can see how today's horror grew from small beginnings. Zionism, Jewish separateness and the belief in a Jewish homeland, have developed into state violence. My parents were pioneering Zionists, leaving Russia for Palestine in 1902 to join a total Zionist population of a few thousand.

Many people of various currents on the Left agree that Israeli policies are linked with those of (today) US imperialism, and condemn these links.

Socialist Worker nr. 2251, maj 11 – side 4
Note: Palestinians have given a new twist to the slogans of the Arab revolutions.
In Tunisia, Egypt, Syria and Yemen, mass protests have demanded: “The people want the fall of the regime”. In Gaza and the West Bank, Palestinians have insisted, “The people want an end to the divisions”, calling for Hamas and Fatah to unify against Israeli occupation.

Note: For første gang i årtier er det lykkedes et folkeligt oprør at vælte en diktator i den arabiske del af verdenen. Eksemplet fra Tunesien og senere fra Ægypten har spredt sig ud over Mellemøsten og Nordafrika. Det har givet mange en tro på at det er muligt at kæmpe imod undertrykkelsen.; Jonathan Højgaard: For én stat i hele Palæstina
Socialistisk Arbejderavis nr. 306, feb 11 – side 11
Note: Oprørene i Egypten og Tunesien kan, hvis de spreder sig, blive første skridt til løsning af konflikten i Palæstina.

International Socialism Journal nr. 128, okt 10 – side 31
Note: Israel faces a new challenge—one the country’s leading strategists consider increasingly effective. This does not come mainly from the towns and refugee camps of the West Bank or Gaza, but from an energetic global movement of solidarity with the Palestinians. Since its launch in 2004 the campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) has stimulated a host of collective actions across five continents, demanding an end to military rule and to Israel’s occupation, and raising important questions about the Zionist movement and imperial power in the Middle East.; Jamie Allinson: Hamas, Gaza and the blockade

Socialist Review nr. 333, feb 09 – side 12

International Socialism Journal nr. 108, sep 05 – side 129
Note: Edward Said was rightly admired for his courageous opposition to the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Consequently many on the left also accepted all the arguments of his book Orientalism, including its criticisms of Marx.

Note: Selv om Bush har sat al sin prestige ind på at ‘Køreplansløsningen’ for Palæstinakonflikten skal lykkes, så ligger den allerede i ruiner efter mindre end en uge. Det gør den, fordi hverken Bush eller EU – og slet ikke Israel – er villig til at give palæstinenserne bare et minimum af det de har krav på.; Margit Johansen: Fred for palæstinenserne

International Socialism Journal nr. 89, dec 00 – side 33
Note: A new intifada shows the heroic capacity of the Palestinian masses. Its roots lie in the frustrations of the peace process that has led the PLO to police the settlement agreed with Israel. Anne Alexander describes the barbarity of the Israeli state, how the Palestinians arrived in this situation, and the limitations of the PLO's politics.

International Socialism Journal nr. 147, jul 15 – side 75
Note: According to the world’s media outlets and major heads of state, a new threat has been looming over “world peace” since June 2014—the threat of ISIS. ISIS was presented as an imminent danger and, far from being constrained to the Arab world, it threatened the “national security” of Western and Eastern imperialist states.; Anne Alexander: ISIS and counter-revolution: towards a Marxist analysis
International Socialism Journal nr. 145, jan 15 – side 47
Note: Four years after the Arab revolutions of 2011 the hopes that the uprisings kindled seem to have been all but extinguished. Libya, Syria and Iraq present grim variations on the theme of “failed states”. Meanwhile, a United States-led military coalition of Western powers and their Arab allies is back in action in northern Iraq and Syria, justifying their intervention with the same “humanitarian” rhetoric that provided cover for the catastrophic occupation of Iraq after 2003.; Alex Callinicos: Analysis: Nemesis in Iraq
International Socialism Journal nr. 143, jul 14 – side 3
Note: To justify the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, George W Bush and Tony Blair argued that the country belonged under Saddam Hussein to an “axis of evil” of “failed states” (the others were Iran and North Korea) that were a danger to themselves and others. But if ever there was a failed state, it is the Iraqi regime that emerged from the occupation following the invasion, as the sudden fall of Mosul to a coalition of forces headed by the jihadis of ISIS in mid-June has shown.; Simon Assaf + Alistair W: Revolt keeps spreading throughout the region

Socialist Review nr. 325, maj 08 – side 26
Note: "The most dangerous man in Iraq" is how Newsweek described Muqtada al-Sadr in December 2006. The young Shia cleric has certainly been cast in many contradictory roles. Is he a leader of Iraqi Arab resistance to the US occupation, or a tool of Iran? A commander of sectarian death squads or a force for Iraqi unity?; Anne Alexander: Review: Iraq's women: more than victims
