I just returned from a demonstration called "Israeli Fourth Comittee of Victims", which is a demonstration infront of the hotel where the "Israeli Committee of Buisnesses" takes place.

It was a very nice demonstration, it was organized by the "Israeli Social Organizations Forum", but it didn't manage to drag the people to it. Only 1,000-2,000 people arrived to this demonstration, mainly youth movments and social organizations (youth movments in Israel are actually the biggest social organization except the unions, I myself came with the Communist Youth League). All the workers in Israel feel the pain that the Sharon - Netanyahu program cause them, what keeps them from coming?

And even those who came were mostly reformist. We (the CYL) and the Socialist Struggle (CWI Israel) had alittle competition with the reformist Working Youth (for instance when they yelled "WEL-FARE! WEL-FARE!" we yelled "RE-VO-LU-TION!"), in which they pretty much won because they were alot more (to my sorrow, most of my movment's members decided not to come).


So what do you say? How do we get the people to demonstrate?

I thought should adjust the strategy. If the present stage revolution strength insufficiently is also formidable, then should form an alliance with some units. We do not need to give up our final goal, but we need gradually to gain the victory. I feel proud for you and your partners. You have contributed the strength for the just struggle. Salutes to you.

I thank you for your kind words, but because of my English I didn't understand this sentence:


I thought should adjust the strategy. If the present stage revolution strength insufficiently is also formidable, then should form an alliance with some units.

If you say that we should demonstrate with other organizations, than that's what we did - we participat the "Social Organizations Forum" with many other movments, this forum organized the demonstration. The only bad thing about this forum is that the Histadrut (unions' federation) decided to not participate it.

Dear friends:
Certainly do not have to underestimate the imperialism murderer's cruelty. Establishes strength which a widespread alliance needs to unite all may unite. In view of the current form, makes the suitable compromise at the internal affair is the most effective strategy. But, the true goal is cannot change.
Takes care.
Salutes to you.
The revolution must Win!
