[Palsem09] ENCORE une version des lectures ! / Yet ANOTHER version of the reading list

[Roland Rance]

It's unfortunate that we do not have our own online archive, in order to
preserve documents from our tradition. 
 
It is even more unfortunate that Peter has only been able to find an English
version of the 1947 Draft theses on the website of the "Alliance for Workers
Liberty", an organisation hostile to the FI, which it denounces -- even in
the introduction to this document -- as "kitsch left". The organisation is
an apologist for Zionism, has attacked me and other anti-Zionist Jews as
"antisemites" and campaigned to have me banned from meetings, and even
turned up at a recent demonstration carrying Israeli flags! Fortunately, it
is possible to find the same text in a much more acceptable site, the
Marxist Internet Archive at
http://www.marxists.org/archive/mandel/1947/01/jewish.htm. They attribute
the theses to Ernest Mandel.
 
The statement by Arab revoilutionary Marxists  from 1974 can be found online
in English at http://www.geocities.com/nysaproject/ar.htm
 
The document by Virginia Tilley and Steven Friedman led to an interesting
discussion on the Israeli Academic Left (Alef) list last year. I attach a
file which commrades may find helpful (in English only, I'm afraid) of the
main discussion between Tilley and Ran Greenstein, an Israelki academic in
South Africa and author of "Genealogies of conflict: Class, identity and
state in Palestine/Israel and South Africa".
 
See you all next week
 
Roland
