Toby Young was given his peerage for the wrong reason, says Alexander Norman. He deserved it for creating Lockdown Sceptics in April 2020 ? a lonely refuge from a world taking a new and cruel delight in preventing joy.

Palestinian Left to unite for Legislative Elections

category international | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday May 18, 2005 17:35author by Secular Socialist Report this post to the editors

Palestinian Sources close to the leftist factions said that talks among these factions to form a unified bloc to run in the upcoming Parliament election slated for July 17 are in an advanced stage.

The sources added that the latest meeting was held in Ramallah where 6 left wing factions were present. Observers described the meeting as positive and the possibility to form the bloc is high.

The factions agreed on a joint program and mechanism, for the elections.

The left in Palestine are worried that the competition between Fatah and Hamas will dominate the elections; therefore they want to try to present a third option for voters.

The factions are also supported by some independent democratic figures in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Fatah is striving to delay the elections, fearing that Hamas will win most of the parliament seats. Hamas insists that the elections must take place in its scheduled date.

No way, don't you realise that the SWP support that great progressive organisation Hamas, not sectarian groups like the PFLP, DFLP etc who still support the old 'shibboleths' of the left like...womens rights, secular democracy, working class struggle etc. In fact these darn lefties prove that they are downright islamaphobic by daring to oppose Hamas in the election.

Yeah, the reach of the SWP doesn't stretch as far as the West Bank. Hard as it may to be to believe, sometimes when people on the left talk about a broad-based unity initative, they actually mean it. Good luck to the Palestinian socialists - they'll need it
