30,000 Zionist troops massed on their northern border were put on full alert over the weekend in what appeared to be the first moves to an invasion of Lebanon.

For several weeks now the Begin government has been openly threatening such an invasion, urging that it is the only way they can crush the forces of the Palestine Liberation Organisation encamped in Southern Lebanon.

In reality the prospect of a new military offensive has been utilised by Begin to weather a series of threats to his wafer-thin governmental majority, and to divert attention from the potentially traumatic "tonorant ni Zinnist isettler. the nurses' offer — 12.8%.

And High Court judges cart off a thumping 21% increase!

The selective "justice" of Tory pay awards can also be seen in the 13.2% back-hander to their flunkeys in the police force, to prepare them for another year of harassing pickets and attacking angry and desperate youth thrown on the scrapheap by Thatcher's policies.

But health workers this year have shown their willingness to fight back.

Scores of unofficial strikes, militant demonstrations and the 99% NUPE ballot in favour of industrial action shows in no uncertain terms that the members have the guts for a serious struggle for the 12% claim. if only the union leaders had half the It is also likely that Begin and Zionist commanders have an anxious eye on the Iran/Iraw war, and are calculating the effects of now probable Iranian victory on the unstable politics of the Middle East.

The threat of a Zionist invasion of Lebanon is in particular a challenge to the Syrian regime of President Assad, one of the few Arab leaders to side with the Khomeini regime against Iraq.

Syrian troops were last week moving tanks and anti-aircraft guns into a fortified defence bulwark in Lebanon just 19 miles from the Israeli frontier.

Once again the struggles of the dispossessed workers and peasants of Palestine against the racist state of Israel emerges as the central factor in Middle Eastern polities.

It is a struggle the British labour movement must support. definiet, hands 4 € off determination of the members they are supposed to represent.

Those workers who lobbied the TUC Health Services Committee saw in practice that if there is one thing our leaders fear it's their own angry members demanding leadership.

The one day strike has the potential to lead up to all-out action but could very well be a one-off event unless we keep up the pressure.

The TUC Health Services Committee has called for two-hour stoppages every week after the 19th. Let's be clear: there is no way the Tories will be defeated by two-hour strikes.

It may be that we can only build for two-hour stoppages at the moment, but if so, we must make these as militant as possible by holding pickets, demonstrations, visiting factories, etc., and we must link them to a perspective of pushing for all-out action. easy to drag them away.
