Submitted by Jacob Lynagh on Fri, 09/05/2014 - 7:57pm

As the Palestinian-Israeli peace talks begin to reach their ill-fated end, two of the largest and heavily criticised parties in the Palestinian liberation movement have reunited.

Zionist and fascists mobilise to support Max Brenner and Israel

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 01/09/2011 - 3:40pm

See email below from Melbourne. Please spread the word about the next Boycott Max Brenner rally. It appears the fascists will be joining the Zionists to support Israel in opposition to the next Boycott Max Brenner protest. And they try to smear supporters of Palestine as "anti-Semites" while linking arms with the genuine article!!!

Free Palestine! Boycott Max Brenner

1pm Saturday 10 September

Rally outside Newtown Neighbourhood Centre (opposite station), march up to Max Brenner, King St Newtown.

ISRAEL KILLS PROTESTERS ON NAKBA DAY/ ISRAELI MURDER MACHINE GOES ON AND ON

Before they're allowed to be free?
How many deaths will it take till one knows
That too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind''
