Subject: RE: BS: The Euston Manifesto
Of course there is plenty in the Euston Manifesto that no social democrat or radical would object to.

But the main authors of the Manifesto have spent the past few years championing the war and berating those who were opposed to it...especially the Socialist Workers Party which played an important role in forming the broad Stop The War Coalition. The war drew a line in the sand and Geras and most of his fellow signatories lined up with the wargang on the wrong side of thatline.

The manifesto also promotes a two state solution for the people of Palestine which effectively means the formalising of a sectarian bantustan for the Palestinians on one side and fortress Israel with one of the most powerful armies in the world expanding into the West Bank, building its apartheid wall and further oppressing   palestinians on the other.
