On May 31th in the dead of night, Israeli elite commandos stormed a convoy of ships carrying aid, preventing it from reaching Gaza, killing nine people and injuring dozens in the process. Those on board had wanted to deliver 10,000 tonnes of food, medicine, construction materials, wheelchairs and other aid to Gaza to break a blockade imposed by Israel since 2007 and provide people with access to some basic necessities of life.

They live in poverty while what little remains is daily attacked by the Israeli bombs and bulldozers. More ... You can find all of our texts from this year and last year on Gaza here Also on this site
On this site you'll also find archives of the libertarian socialist group Solidarity and council communist groups Subversion and Wildcat. Both Subversion and Wildcat were predominantly based in Manchester in the 80s and 90s.
