Globalise the Intifadah

The new issue of International Socialism is out now, and it focuses on the dynamics of imperialism in the Middle East, with articles on Israel's war with Hezbollah, fossil imperialism, and the anti-colonial politics of Frantz Fanon.Join us on Friday 10 May for a discussion with Anne Alexander on her article in the new issue, which explores the decline of US imperialism, the development of new military technologies such as drone warfare, and shifts in the political economy of regional rivals such as Israel and Iran.These factors are driving both the barbarity of the Israeli assault on Gaza and the sharpening of rivalries between regional powers - threatening a much wider war. This is a chance to discuss a Marxist analysis of the dynamics propelling occupation, war and militarisation in the Middle East - and the huge implications for politics in Britain. The event starts at 6.30pm at Bookmarks Bookshop.
