I read the following on a status update by a member of the SWP, and wondered what this "internationalist left" is saying about Syria. 
'The move by the internationalist left in Turkey to create a "peace square" inside the Gezi/Taksim protests is very significant and a tremendous tactic. 
Reports say many hundreds have joined it today, with its slogans against Kurdish national oppression, against sexism and homophobia, and for democracy. 
The choice of name is inspired. "Peace" draws on the legacy of the anti-Iraq war movement that the left was a key part of (and which in Turkey, for a variety of reasons, actually had direct political effect in keeping the state and its airbases out of the 2003 war).'
