Weekend Webinar: Gaza and the rise of Multipolarity

This webinar features leading analysts of global politics to explore the unfolding geopolitical consequences of Zionism’s genocidal assault on the Palestinian people.

Following on from the Ukraine crisis of recent years, the hypocrisy and blatant double standards of the major western powers have united the countries and peoples of the Global South to an unprecedented degree, and on both the diplomatic and mass popular level, rendering US imperialism and its Zionist shock troops increasingly isolated, as significant European powers at last recognise a Palestinian state, people from all walks of life mobilise, and young people in the imperialist heartlands start to be drawn into struggle in a way not seen since the Vietnam War.

Together, the global majority are starting to drive changes unseen in a century.

The webinar will examine such key topics as the relationship between the Palestinian people’s struggle and the overall multipolar process; the importance of Israel to the perpetuation of the US-led world order; and the potential for China and Russia to play a leading role in bringing about a lasting and just resolution to the Palestinian question.

Yes Amarynth: Netanyahu speaking to Congress on July 24th is a major teachable moment. They say awakening must be accompanied by pain. Much of that pain involves the release of denial. The denial we are seeing thrust in the West’s face is, in my estimation, a denial of the deep… Read more »
