I represent the International Solidarity Commission of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). One of our members is planning a trip to Israel/Palestine in May and June, where she plans to meet with various unions and workers centers. We have some good contacts in Palestine and they are hooking us up with some Arab workers centers in Israel.

I'll be traveling in the Middle East this spring/summer (probably April and May) and I would like to catch up with some fellow libcommers, anarchists and communists and etc.

The High School Teacher's Organization, a union independent of the Histadrut, has entered its 30th day of strike. Histadrut teachers have set up a strike fund for them, and a bunch of them wish to join the strike, including elementary school teachers.
I have no doubt that you, like any other honest person in the world, suffer from what is happening in Iraq.
We Iraqis are tired of sectarian violence fomented by Iran, we are tired of car bombs, death squads, militias; we are tired of occupation and meddling by other countries,
