On 11 October – the day after the Met Police locked up 11 communists for supporting Palestine – masked-up ‘Patriot Platform’ thugs were peacefully escorted through a Sheffield suburb. And yet the right wing are the ones that cry about ‘two-tier policing’!
Acclaimed Irish author Sally Rooney has effectively been banned from selling her books in the UK by the British government. Her ‘crime’? Supporting Palestine Action, and standing with Gaza. This once again exposes the farce of ‘free speech’ under capitalism.
We hear from three of the eleven Revolutionary Communist Party members who were arrested at last Saturday’s national Palestine demonstration: what they learned about the shambolic state of the police, and how inspired they feel by their comrades’ solidarity.
British universities are some of the most repressive actors against the Palestine movement. They have taken millions of pounds from military companies securing their influence in education. How can we bring the struggle to campuses and kick imperialism out of our universities?
We hear from revolutionary communists who were brutally assaulted by Met Police thugs last weekend. Despite the clear opportunity to resist the arrests, the official PSC stewards helped the police do their jobs, and scarpered once things kicked off.
Last Saturday, over 700 RCP members joined the national Palestine demo – the largest communist bloc on Britain’s streets in decades. Our standoff with the police shows a glimpse of what could be achieved if the movement was armed with a revolutionary programme.
Today, 700 revolutionary communists were brutally targeted by the Metropolitan Police on the national pro-Palestine demonstration. Several comrades were kicked, shoved, and slammed to the ground, and eleven comrades were arrested. We will not be intimidated, silenced, or cowed. The future belongs to us, not them!
This Saturday, masses of workers and young people will descend upon London for the national Palestine solidarity demonstration, to mark three years of Israel’s slaughter of Gaza. Here is why you should join the hundreds-strong communist bloc.
Three years on from the start of Israel’s slaughter of Gaza, the nightmare in the Middle East has only worsened, and the Palestinian people are further away from freedom. This Saturday, the communists will be marching under the banner, ‘For Palestine to live, imperialism must die’.
The Green Party’s ‘Zionism is racism’ motion has sent the British establishment into hysteria, and has exposed the deepening divide within the Green Party itself. Once again, Palestine has proved to be the ultimate political litmus test. But what will happen now?
The Community Security Trust – a propaganda organisation posing as a neutral charity – has smeared Revolutionary Communist Students as ‘antisemites’ for supporting Palestine and attacking the Epstein class. We reject this baseless political attack.
Foreign secretary Ed Miliband told Labour conference attendees that those “outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people” were “right”. This didn’t stop his government from arresting protestors outside. The movement’s leaders should have no illusions in Labour.
