Last month’s spectacular collapse of Bolivia’s Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) has felled one of the last bastions of Latin America’s “Pink Tide”, dealing a devastating blow to the country’s indigenous, peasant, and working classes.

The guerrilla fighters of the Palestinian Resistance have taken the various doctrines on guerrilla warfare to a whole new level in their two years of fighting the genocidal, Zionist, Israeli army.
