It is refreshing to know that the cause of international solidarity of labor is still advancing towards the goal of international socialism and a peaceful future for all mankind. By the way I’m also a member of the Pathfinder Readers Club. Reading these titles from Pathfinder is an absolute must for the working class activist. Keep up the good work.

Israel and war against Iraq
The article "U.S., Israel set stage for two-front Mideast War" in Militant issue no. 32 states, "There is no reason to believe that with the evolution of the fighting Washington will oppose an Israeli military response if threatened by Iraq or another country."

The article also gives a lot of space to the opinions of those in the Israeli government who would like to take advantage of the assault on Iraq to drive all the Palestinians into Jordan.

I don’t think I really agree that a likely outcome of the assault on Iraq will be a free hand to Israel to retaliate if the country is attacked, or that they will feel strong enough to drive the Palestinians into Jordan. I noticed that since that article the Militant hasn’t returned to the "two-front" theme.

In a speech published in New International no. 7 "Opening Guns of World War III," Jack Barnes speaks of a divergence of interests between Washington and Tel Aviv. If there is now a reconvergence can the Militant please explain what the causes are?
