Why you should boycott Caltex | Green Left Show #63

Wednesday Jul 23, 2025

Palestine solidarity activists from across the country converged on Canberra over July 20–22 to demand the Anthony Albanese government sanction Israel over its ongoing genocide in Gaza.

During the convergence, Green Left’s Riley Breen spoke to Hala Shanableh and Amin Abbas from Boycott Caltex Australia about the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign and why it is a critical part of the campaign to end Israel’s genocide and occupation of Palestinian land.

They also discuss the recent report by Labor-appointed antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal, which includes draconian attacks on the right to protest and the Palestine solidarity movement.

Hala Shanableh is a Palestinian activist based in Boorloo/Perth, the deputy chair of Friends of Palestine Western Australia, a member of Unionists for Palestine WA and key organiser of Boycott Caltex Boorloo.

Amin Abbas is an organiser with Free Palestine Melbourne, a board member of the Australian Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) and a performer and teacher of Dabke dancing.

Socialism 2025: Putin's Anti-War Political Prisoners in Russia

Monday Jul 21, 2025

This is a recording of a panel from the Socialism 2025 conference in Chicago, held over July 3–6. It examines Putin’s repression of critical voices, those who have publicly opposed his war of aggression against Ukraine.

Boris Kagarlitsky, the well-known Marxist critic of Putin's regime, is currently serving a five year sentence in a penal colony for "justifying terrorism" – a charge stemming from a satirical comment about the Crimean bridge explosion. While Kagarlitsky’s case has drawn international attention, many other leftwing critics remain imprisoned in obscurity, often held in appalling conditions.

The panel was moderated by Suzi Weissman, editorial board member of Against the Current and Critique, host of the Jacobin Radio podcast and author of 'Victor Serge: The Course is Set on Hope'.

It features contributions from Russian socialist Ilya Budtraitskis, Ksenia Kagarlitskaya, the daughter of jailed Russian Marxist Boris Kagarlitsky, Grusha Gilaeva, managing editor of Russian anti-war website Posle, and Simon Pirani, historian and researcher on Russia and Ukraine.

You can read Green Left’s extensive coverage of the campaign to free Boris Kagarlitsky and other jailed anti-war Russian dissidents here: https://www.greenleft.org.au/people/boris-kagarlitsky
