This issue of the Journal of Working-Class Studies comes at a tumultuous time.The war on Gaza continues, with ongoing destruction and devastation.Despite ongoing protests around the world (including an historically large march across Sydney's Harbour Bridge), progress towards a ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza has been slow.But Palestinians and allies refuse to give up hope, and the announcements from some western governments to formally recognise Palestine are a welcome development.We hope to see a ceasefire soon and a move towards permanent peace -people have suffered for too long.
