Stop the Bombing of Gaza! No Invasion!
Israel Unleashes Mass Terror on the Palestinian People
Since July 7, Israel has subjected the two million people of the Palestinian territory of Gaza to a deadly reign of terror from the sky. And as we go to press, Israel has massed troops on the edge of Gaza, sending a message that the murderous attacks on Gaza might intensify with a land invasion.

Israel Sets Loose a Lynch Mob
The disappearance of three Israeli teenagers, and the discovery of their bodies, was seized on by Israel to unleash a ferocious wave of terror and death, along with a campaign to turn reality upside down and portray Israelis as collective victims of Arab terror. A lynch mob atmosphere in Israel led to the kidnapping, torture, and murder of a Palestinian youth.

Mark Your Calendar & Make Plans for the September Climate-Change Protests
Important protests and events will draw huge crowds at the UN Climate Summit 2014 which takes place in New York City this September. The movement for revolution, with the Party at its core, must be reaching broadly out to those involved in these movements and demonstrations, in many different ways...with its full program...with the elements of its ensemble of revolutionary work...and also by bringing forward those from among the basic people who have been brought forward into the movement for revolution over the summer to be part of, and positively influence, what is shaping up to be an extremely important struggle around the environment.
Of great importance over the summer, as momentum builds, will be challenging people to follow where their convictions lead them, and offering an open stimulating atmosphere in which to wrangle that out. Begin now to plan bookstore forums, especially in New York, Berkeley and Seattle, stretching from July through September, and let's have a real process of discovery at all the stores. Be part of the activities taking shape all over building for this. Get people percolating and thinking about this.
More to come.
