‘Greater Israel’ and the annexation of the West Bank: the burial of the ‘two-state solution’

In November 2023, comrades Alyona and Leonard of the Revolutionäre Kommunistische Partei (RKP) were investigated for holding up a banner with the slogan ‘Freedom for Palestine! Intifada until victory!’ After a months-long campaign, our comrades were acquitted in the final court proceedings before the Munich Regional Court in July. The verdict is now final: the slogan ‘Intifada until victory!’ is not illegal. This victory holds important lessons for the entire Palestinian and labour movements in dealing with repression!

On 20 September, the UK recognised the state of Palestine, alongside France and Canada. With the customary arrogance of leaders from the western world, they all spoke as if their words were shifting the axis of history.
