Stephen Kapos, Holocaust survivor and Palestine activist, is touring the country with Stop the War this summer discussing Trump, Imperialism and the Middle East. Stephen and others will be joining up the dots between Palestine, the wider Middle East and Western imperialism.
Trump is increasingly unpredictable and the recent attacks by Israel and the US on Iran show how volatile the Middle East is. Whether the Iran ceasefire holds is yet to be seen, but it is clearly a fragile peace and history has shown neither Israel nor the US can be trusted.
Meanwhile Netanyahu’s vicious and reckless actions know no bounds and the slaughter continues in Gaza and the West Bank. The IDF’s murderous attacks at aid distribution centres has been compared to the Hunger Games – but of course this is reality not fiction.
Here in the UK Starmer has embarked on a military spending spree, has agreed to host US nuclear weapons and refused to condemn Israel or stop selling it arms. We are living through incredibly perilous times.
Stephen will be joined by prominent anti-war activists, writers and StWC officers. Find a meeting near you and hear how the anti-war movement should respond to these dangerous developments.
