The year 2023 saw one of the latest genocides in modern times - that of the people of Palestine by Israel. People born in the last or this century find it difficult to understand how such genocides in the past were allowed to take place at all, so barbarous an action this is.

Yet the current genocide continues unabated, despite the millions of people around the world demanding an end to it. This exposes the real nature of capitalism and imperialism.

It is in this situation that issue no 7 of The Kenya Socialist focuses on the Palestine Question. Articles include The Palestine Question, Claim to be Pan-Africanist? Until Everyone is Free, Zionism and the Myth of Democracy.

The title of the Editorial is 'We are all Palestinians'. Another article examines why 'the struggle for Palestine is the struggle of working people worldwide', showing the class and imperialist background to the genocide.

The issue ends with solidarity statements from Kenyan organisations and a book review. It carries a number of illustrations on the struggle.
