Red Flag since our inception has stood on the side of the Palestinians in their struggle against Israeli apartheid, ethnic cleansing, colonisation and oppression. We have endeavoured to set the record straight on the conflict. Below is a catalogue of some of our coverage, which we hope will be a useful resource for people wanting to come to grips with the situation.
