Palestine Needs Mass Support, Not Sectarian Marginalization

Over a year after Israel launched its genocidal aggression on Gaza, many in the antiwar movement are rightly furious. But we can’t let that rage cloud strategic thinking about the best way to stand in solidarity with Palestine, says Bashir Abu-Manneh.

People fleeing from the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Lahyia are seen on a street in Gaza City, on October 22, 2024.

Entrevista con la cofundadora del sindicato, Mary Hill

"No somos robots. Merecemos ser tratados con respeto y dignidad. Y merecemos que nos paguen un salario digno".

— Mary Hill, cofundadora y vicepresidenta del sindicato Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity and Empowerment (C.A.U.S.E.)

Por Mark Satinoff

Los trabajadores del enorme centro logístico RDU1 de Amazon en Garner, en las afueras de Raleigh, Carolina del Norte, han dado el siguiente paso en su esfuerzo de casi tres años por lograr ser reconocidos como sindicato. En el Día del Trabajo , C.A.U.S.E. comenzó a recolectar firmas en tarjetas de representación sindical que luego se presentarán a la Junta Nacional de Relaciones Laborales (NLRB), solicitando una elección.

C.A.U.S.E. se autodescribe como un "esfuerzo de base, independiente, dirigido por y para los trabajadores de RDU1" .

De tener éxito, este sería el segundo centro logístico de Amazon en sindicalizarse.

Iran, Hezbollah Attacks on Israel Set Back Palestinian Cause

By Geoff Mirelowitz and Argiris Malapanis

On October 1, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) invaded Lebanon, the fourth time Israel has done so since 1978.

The ground invasion followed a brazen Israeli escalation of its war with Hezbollah: exploding personal electronic devices, intense airstrikes, and the assassination of an array of Hezbollah leaders, including the group’s general secretary Hassan Nasrallah.
