Workers confront consequences of rulers’ wars in the Middle East – The Militant

Excerpt:

....This continuous cycle of Hamas provocations and the Israeli rulers’ retaliation is a dead end. In a December statement that can be downloaded from the Militant’s website, the Socialist Workers Party points to an alternative course: “The political necessity for the Israeli and Arab governments and leadership of Palestinian organization to begin immediate talks to recognize both Israel and an independent Palestinian state.

“Negotiations to reach such an agreement must recognize the right of Jews everywhere to take refuge in Israel in face of the global rise of Jew-hatred and anti-Semitic violence, as well as the unconditional right of the dispossessed Palestinian people to a contiguous, sovereign homeland on territory — including East Jerusalem — conquered and occupied by the Israeli government during the 1967 war.”
