We salute Arafat’s life; we mourn his death

Posted by: John PhoenixIssued by: CPGB-MLThe CPGB-ML and the anti-imperialist magazine Lalkar express their deep sorrow at the passing away of comrade Yasser Arafat, without a doubt one of the greatest anti-imperialist fighters of our time, and the most representative spokesman of the Palestinian people for over 40 years.Arafat has been involved in every significant event in the history of the movement for Palestinian liberation since the late 1950s. He and others founded Fatah in 1957 in order, at first, to initiate and co-ordinate small military attacks against Israel with a view to reigniting the spirit of the Palestinian people and keeping alive the 'Palestinian issue'.In 1968, he led the fighters of the Karameh refugee camp in Jordan to one of the most incredible and unlikely vic...

Victory to the Resistance in Lebanon and Palestine

Posted by: John PhoenixIssued by: CPGB-MLThe current situation demands an urgent response. It demands wholehearted support for the resistance fighters in Lebanon and Palestine from all working and oppressed people.The present Israeli aggression against Lebanon and Gaza is a continuation of the politics of US imperialism through the agency of Israeli zionism. Its aim has nothing to do with so-called ‘kidnapped’ soldiers. It has everything to do with trying to destroy the resistance to Israeli and imperialist designs for Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, seizing control of Lebanon and weakening Syria and Iran.But this military adventure by imperialism is not going according to its plans. It is meeting heroic resistance and there is consternation in the imperialist camp.We need a ver...

Palestine is a British working-class issue

Palestine is a British working-class issue

Posted by: John PhoenixIssued by: CPGB-MLNot just a humanitarian questionKarl Marx, commenting on the relationship between Britain and Ireland, famously wrote that “the nation that oppresses another nation forges its own chains”. This is still true today. So long as the British working class goes along with the actions of British imperialism for the sake of the few crumbs that it gets by way of payment for this complicity, it will remain impotent in the struggle against British capitalism and for socialism. This simple truth, seemingly obvious, is widely misunderstood or ignored in the British ‘left’. However, to continue to ignore it is forever to submit ourselves to the mercy of capital.British imperialism has always been a key supporter of the zionist project. European colonialists...

Hands off Gaza! Victory to the resistance! Victory to the resistance!

Posted by: John PhoenixIssued by: CPGB-MLThe Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) resolutely condemns Israel’s despicable and cowardly military onslaught against the people of Gaza, and it reaffirms its unreserved solidarity with the Palestinian people.Israeli brutality and arroganceSince the start of Israel’s bombing campaign, on 23 December 2008, several hundred Palestinians – including many children – have been killed, and thousands more have sustained critical injuries. Israel claims that its targets have been exclusively military, but this is manifestly false. For example, more than 50 people (including an entire family of seven young children) were killed when, on 7 January, Israel bombed a UN school being used as a refugee centre.In the past few weeks, Israel has...

Gaza: No cooperation with Nazi war crimes! Victory to Palestine!

"Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed." JEWISH TALMUD Abodah Zara 26b No cooperation with Israeli war crimes! Victory to Palestine!Posted by: John PhoenixIssued by: CPGB-MLWar crimesIsrael has been committing war crimes in Palestine for 60 years. Ethnic cleansing, massacres, evictions, illegal occupation and colonisation of land, denial of human rights and basic facilities to occupied people, illegal seizure and destruction of houses, crops and property, collective punishment of the entire population ... the list goes on and on, and has been well documented ever since 1948.In recent months, Israel has clamped down still further on supplies of medicine, food, water and fuel into the Gaza Strip, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis there. These crimes against Pal...

Free the Gaza protestors! Jail the warmongers!

Posted by: John PhoenixIssued by: CPGB-MLWhen Israel launched yet another predatory assault upon Gaza’s defenceless civilian population a year ago, it triggered a worldwide wave of militant anti-zionist protest.The death toll rose to 1,434, there was deliberate targeting and near total destruction of the already strained civilian infrastructure, including water and sewage works, hospitals and ambulance services, schools, houses and a UN warehouse where much of the food for the 1.5 million imprisoned Gazans was stored.In spite of all attempts to spin the media, the glaring evidence of brutality had even conservative observers accusing Israel’s army of war crimes. Gerald Kaufman (Labour MP and long-time ‘friend of Israel’) declared his disgust, likening Israel’s crimes to those committe...

Victory to the Intifada! Join the axis of resistance!

Posted by: John PhoenixThe CPGB-ML sends a red salute to the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, whose courage against enormous odds is an inspiration to the oppressed masses of the world. We denounce the massacre unfolding there (136 Palestinians slaughtered and 941 wounded in eight days) whilst the supposed guardians of international law at the UN sit on their hands and reactionaries everywhere point the finger of blame, not at oppression and state terror, but at those who resist it.A new wave of resistnce‘Operation Pillar of Defence’ is gruesomely reminiscent of 2008’s ‘Operation Cast Lead’, with the same massacre of men, women and children, the same zionist lies regurgitated by the BBC, the same denunciation of those who resist oppression and the same shameless excuses made on behalf ...

Stand with Gaza … Join the axis of resistance!

Posted by: John PhoenixIssued by: CPGB-MLMassacre in GazaThroughout Ramadan 2014 and beyond, while muslims fasted, the world’s people looked on in horror as Israel’s intensification of the genocide of Palestinians escalated into a hideous bloodbath.While Israelis have justified these crimes to others with lies about ‘defending themselves from terrorism’, the discourse of zionists among themselves paints a far more telling picture.Seven years of inhuman blockade have been openly described by Israeli officials as “putting Gaza on a diet” and keeping its economy “on the brink of collapse”.After the killing of three teenage settlers (shipped in from New York and elsewhere to illegally colonise the West Bank, and killed by persons unknown), zionist leaders told Israelis: “There is no mercy...

What more can we do for Palestine?

Issued by: CPGB-MLThe Palestine Solidarity Campaign is an effective campaigner in support of the Palestinian people, who have been robbed of their country, land, homes and wellbeing; and who have either been reduced to the status of second-class non-citizens within apartheid Israel and the Occupied Territories or subjected to a state of permanent siege in Gaza, where they are regularly subjected to bombing raids; and who in Israel and the West Bank are regularly subjected to land seizures for building settlements that are illegal even by the standards of the UN, benign though it is in its dealings with fascist Israel; and who are also routinely subjected to collective punishments that are illegal under international law. The PSC brings all these atrocities to public attention, so that...

‘Israel’ can’t imprison two million Gazans without paying a cruel price

Gideon Levy reminds his Israeli readership of a truth that the imperialists and their proxies ignore at their peril: oppression breeds resistance. Gideon Levy Bombing of the Gaza Strip has intensified as Israel prepares for an expected ground offensive. While it is freely admitted that the tunnels used by the resistance are too far below the ground even to be affected by so-called ‘bunker busters’, the Israeli government is taking the opportunity to further its ethinic cleansing plans by urging Palestinians to evacuate their homes. Plans to evict the entire two million population to Egypt are doomed to fail, however. The Palestians have made it clear they will not endure another Nakba. Nor will regional allies stand meekly by and allow the zionists’ planned genocide to be completed....
