Dear Peter, you are lucky that you didn't get a drone attack or your house
occupied..

I did the below post and uploaded your letter on Scribd, this would open
the discussion up hopefulluy.. amazing how everybody sits quite against
this barbarism being defended openly by LabourStart.

In my humble opinion if there won't be a LabourStart campaing against
Israel's barbarism, then it means there is a need for a homcooked campaign
against the LaborStart's zionism.

In solidarity,

"I have received the below open letter from someone who is very well-known
by devoting his life time efforts to international and global solidarity
and social emancipation: Peter Waterman. Peter, though, did put a stress on
labour internationalism of which he saw that the solidarity between unions
is only one and a small part in the broad picture. Coming from a Jewish
family himslef he, has been openly critical of Zionism and Israel’s
ever-expanding a barbaric occupation on Palestinian territory.

Peter had been actively blogging about global labour and union solidarity
in his blog page on Unionbook, since 2008-9. I say he ‘had’ because, the
‘owner’ of the Unionbook and its mother project LabourStart, Eric Lee,
self-claiming ‘democratic socialist’ yet who is also known with his over
sympathy to the Israeli state, who is the owner and the administrator of
the Unionbook did ban Waterman’s user account two days ago. Eric created
the Unionbook on Ning servers, which belongs to the corporation owned by
Zuckerberg’s ex-partner -also the creator of Napster. Altouhg Unionbook
thought as a social network site for all the unionists of the world it did
manage to attract at around 5600 international unionist as its users. Lee
cut off Peter’s communication, as Israel cuts off Gazza’s roads, food and
electriciry. So now Peter has no access to his acount, pages, posts etc. on
Unionbook, so he can not responde this move using his own blog page.
In the below open letter Peter makes a guess about the possible reason
behind this ‘occupation’ of his cybersland by Lee and invites him to
discuss the issue publicly -may be a ‘two network admin solution’ (?).
According to Peter Waterman the ban came right after he re-blogged Lee’s
own article where Lee openly supports recent war/sate-terrorism launched on
Gazza. Waterman gives details from his perspective and indicates the limits
of the marriage between ideologies like Zionism, as well as other
nationalisms and internationalism.

Now you can read on, as Peter always sez:
