European states have armed Israel through almost two years of genocide in Gaza. While the European Union’s trade deal with Israel is meant to be conditional on human rights, in practice EU leaders have turned a blind eye to its crimes.
Far-right Hungarian premier Viktor Orbán has claimed that his refusal to help Ukraine is a “pro-peace position.” Yet Hungary is also the only EU state that openly backs an Israeli attack on Rafah — showing the hypocrisy of Orbán’s supposed pacifism.

In tsarist Russia and interwar Poland, the Jewish Bund developed a socialist alternative to Zionism while fighting against antisemitic oppression. The neglected international history of their movement is a vital resource for our own time.
When the US suspended aid to the main UN aid agency in Gaza, the Spanish government increased its funding. While most Western countries follow a dogged pro-Israel line, left-wing ministers in Spain have been a rare dissenting voice.
An interview with Niki Ashton, whose campaign for leadership of Canada's New Democratic Party has been rooted in a bold left-wing vision.
