Palestine: Organizing the Resistance
Razi Nabulse / Middle East Eye (London)
The Israeli army routinely breaks in to Palestinian homes, intimidates Palestinians and takes them from their families. Amid this backdrop, Jenin in recent months has been challenging the status quo, turning every Israeli incursion - and there have been dozens this year - into a battle.

Myanmar Movement Takes Up the Rohingya Question
The Irrawaddy (Rangoon)
Myanmar’s civilian National Unity Government (NUG) has called on international organizations to support their endeavours to achieve justice and peace for the country’s persecuted Rohingya ethnic minority. The NUG also expressed great shame over the historic exclusionary and discriminatory policies, practices and rhetoric against the Rohingya and other ethnic groups.

Independent Unions in México
Hector de la Cueva / Mexico Solidarity Network
The long-time general coordinator of the Center for Labor Research and Advocacy in México City has spent the last four decades tirelessly supporting workers looking to get out from under the corrupt company unions. México’s long history with unions that aren’t operating as true workers’ organizations has left workers with little experience in rank-and-file unionism to draw from.

Is China Imperialist? Pakistani Left View
Aasim Sajjad Akhtar / Jamhoor
Meaningful conceptualization of imperialism(s) in the current conjuncture demands that we neither overlook the substantial contradictions of ‘socialism with Chinese characteristics’, nor understate what many in the western Left have called the ‘New Cold War’ against China.
__________
Left Parties Form Front in Turkey
The new alliance, the Union of Socialist Forces, has resolved to put an end to the conservative rule in Turkey led by Erdoğan and the AKP, as well as defend secularism and withdraw from NATO.

Jamaican Farm Workers in Canada
Natasha Bulowski / Canada’s National Observer (Vancouver)
Workers asked Jamaica’s labour minister to lobby the Canadian government to grant permanent resident status to all migrants on arrival, implement and enforce national housing standards, create an anonymous system to report abuse, among other measures to address the issues.
