War on Gaza Update and Perspectives – YouTube
On October 7th 2500 Hamas fighters launched attacks on military installations, kibbutz, villages, and small towns in southern Israel. Within hours over 1400 Israelis had been killed. Since then, the people of the Gaza Strip have endured conditions of medieval siege and an air assault utilising the most sophisticated weaponry in the world. Israeli troops have now launched a ground offensive. Nearly 10,000 Palestinians have died. Around the world millions have come onto the streets in support of the Palestinian people, shocked and outraged by the horror unfolding before their eyes. In his introduction Ciaran Mulholland of Internationalist Standpoint, who works with others to build an anti-sectarian left alternative to the main political parties in Northern Ireland, speaks about the need for an alternative movement which can both explain the reasons behind this seemingly intractable conflict and put forward a credible alternative.
