German elections: all out against the right, the establishment and capitalism! The crisis of German capitalism is deepening relentlessly. Last Sunday, elections were held in the two federal states of Saxony and Thuringia. They were won by the right-wing party ‘Alternative for Germany’ (AfD) and the demagogic new outfit ‘Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht’ (BSW), a split-off from the Left Party.

Explosion of anger against Netanyahu in Israel: “hostages’ blood is on his hands” The recovery of the dead bodies of six hostages, held by Hamas in Gaza, by the IDF over the weekend has led to an explosion of anger, directed against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Hundreds of thousands came onto the streets on Sunday in mass demonstrations across Israel. The country was paralysed by a general strike called by Histadrut (the General Organisation of Workers in Israel) this morning, Monday 2 September. Protesters hold Netanyahu responsible for the death of the hostages, given his blatant and constant sabotage of the negotiations with Hamas. This is a very serious political crisis, which could lead to the removal of the Israeli PM. Featured Israel & Palestine
