Capitalism Is Killing the Planet: The Case for Ecosocialism
 

Profit driven economic growth and its reliance on fossil fuels places capitalism at odds with people and planet. The ecosocialist project wants to build a new, socially just, sustainable society based on grassroots democracy and within ecological limits by building a mass movement against climate change and environmental disasters. We want to create a society which focuses on meeting human need and ecological restoration, not profits for the ruling class.

Berkeley: Israel is an apartheid state: the case for boycott, divestment and sanctions
 

Imprisoned behind hundreds of miles of border walls, subjected to indiscriminate killings, deprived of adequate food and water, prevented from earning a living, demonized as terrorists, and left to stew in a soup of filth and rubble, Palestinians are asking for our solidarity.

Eight years ago, 170 Palestinian civil society organizations called for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel for its defiance of international law. Join a discussion about how we can advance the BDS campaign at UC Berkeley.

Featuring Sherry Wolf, author and public speaker; International Socialist Organization; Adalah-NY; she blogs at Sherry Talks Back.

Pinkwashing apartheid
 

Apologists for Israel push a “pinkwashing” public relations campaign that promotes a supposedly progressive record of LGBT rights to divert attention away from apartheid conditions and to conjure an image of Israel as a democratic “light unto the nations.”

This ignores both Israeli homophobia/transphobia and Palestinian struggles for LGBT rights. No amount of “pinkwashing” can justify apartheid or the genocidal violence faced by Palestinians.
 
In Sherry Wolf's words: “It is up to activists — Jewish lesbians like myself, straight gentiles, everyone who cares about social justice — to stand up to Israel’s racist policies and those who help to veil them.”
