From a group on Facebook...."We are a group of Jewish- Israeli teens who are refusing to join the IDF for it has been occupying the Palestinian territories since 1967. In Israel, the law ruled that every 18 year old- healthy, Jewish, Israeli, teenager is to join the military (this varies between 2-3 years and sometimes more). Our group is refusing for political reasons, standing up against the occupation and declaring: we will not support it! The Six Day War broke out on June 5th, 1967 and Israel has not left the West Bank since. Gaza strip was conquered too, and military forces still rule the place. We are saying END THE OCCUPATION IN THE PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES. Join our struggle and support our cause. Here we will be available to provide you with more information about the subject. We want and need your support. Sign the petition, join and support us and spread the love we are trying to promote! We want to end occupation, we want to change the face of the militaristic Israeli society to make it a better place, WE WANT PEACE." |

Hi Clare
Am still not able to open the pic you sent me - told you i am a computer git. have your details now and will contact you for a drink and maybe you can go through a few bullet points with me.
Your blog is superb and its great for you to post meetings like the one with Chris B. Am sure you know that Chris was my first adopted brother in SWP. He is great - him and John Rees were the first comrades I understood and came to admire and they still are. So keep posting more.
Wasn't Pilger's documentary a stunning success? This is the direction I expect of the SWP - bigger, better and well organised. All we got to do is keep Tony Cliff's light blazing and the rest will be like a miracle.
