Keir Starmer?s Anti-Israel Policies Are Now No Different to Jeremy Corbyn?s Tue Jul 30, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer has never described Hezbollah as his friends. But other than that, when it comes to Israel there is now little of consequence to differentiate them, says Stephen Pollard.

Is the Muslim Vote Abandoning Labour? Tue Jul 30, 2024 11:00 | Frank Haviland
Is the 'Muslim vote' set to abandon Labour? With three quarters of British Muslims refusing to believe Hamas committed atrocities on October 7th, it's hard to see how Labour can retain them, says Frank Haviland.

Here is a report on the growing support for the strikers. Full text at link.
Academics from various universities have declared their support for today's strike at the Tuzla Shipyards. The Limter-İş trade union, composed primarily of subcontract workers, has called for a strike today to protest the high number of workplace deaths at the yard. Since 1985, a total of 98 workers died at the shipyards.
Chairpersons and academics at the labor economics and industrial relations departments of nine universities issued a declaration criticizing the deaths at Tuzla, reported Radikal newspaper yesterday. A total of 110 academics, from Ankara, Dokuz Eylül, Kocaeli, Sakarya, Uludağ, Gazi, Muğla, Pamukkale and 18 Mart universities, signed the declaration, saying the deaths and injuries cannot be termed accidents anymore.
Meanwhile, a total of 405 intellectuals, including lawmakers from the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP), Professor Baskın Oran, Gencay Gürsoy and İsmail Beşikçi, signed a declaration, expressing their support for the strike. The declaration was made public Saturday at a press meeting in Istanbul, Radikal said.
Writer Necati Abay stated:Workers who wage a struggle for better working conditions find themselves up against the police and military, Abay claimed, adding that supporting the strike is a duty of all those who do not support serial killers.
The police acted against the workers again today but this did not stop solidarity action. Full text at link.
Among the thousand people who joined the strike were the feminists, the Patriotic Front, Ufuk Uras, İstanbul deputy of the Freedom and Solidarity Party (ÖDP), the Socialist Democracy Party (SDP), the Labor Party (EMEP), Lambdaistanbul, the Socialist Platform for the Oppressed (ESP), the United Metal Workers Union.
Kamber Saygılı, the secretary-general of Limter İş, stated, We are here to live as human beings, we thank everyone who supports us. The strike has become an obligation now. Nothing has been done to stop the deaths.
Ufuk Uras said, Seeing that the workers death has become such a common occurrence, it becomes clear that the ruling partys (AKP) idea of let the weaker disappear is behind this. Solidarity is very important. By hanging together, we can end the rule of the thieves.
