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.
Last week, the ‘Filton 4’ pro-Palestine activists were sentenced on terrorism charges for a total of 25 years. The trial was a stitch-up from start to finish. The left must organise to oppose the state’s clampdown on our democratic rights.
Artist Matthew Collings sat down with The Communist to discuss his series ‘Drawings against Genocide’ which exposes the horrors inflicted by Israel upon Gaza, as well as fighting attacks from Zionists, and how art fits into the class struggle.
The British state is prosecuting the barrister representing Palestine Action activists, for the ‘crime’ of reminding jurors of their right to acquit the accused! This is yet another egregious attack on the Palestine movement and our democratic rights.
Last Saturday, the Nakba 78 march dwarfed the size of Tommy Robinson’s ‘Unite The Kingdom’ rally. The enormous reserves of support for Palestine, combined with a desire to fight racism and the right, have shown a glimpse of the real balance of forces.
The racist demagogue and rabid Zionist Tommy Robinson is marching in London this Saturday, deliberately provoking the Palestine demo on the same day. Fiona Lali explains why you should join the Communist bloc to oppose the racists and war criminals.
Following the Golders Green stabbing, Keir Starmer and the British establishment have resurrected a hysterical antisemitism smear campaign against the Palestine movement and the Green Party. Their calculated cynicism and rank hypocrisy knows no limits.
Here, we respond to a reader from Edinburgh who asks: Why hasn’t the response to the bombing of Iran been as big as the response to the genocide in Gaza? Plus: reports from Iran solidarity protests, Greek seafarer protests, and more.
In yet another setback for Starmer’s beleaguered government, the High Court has ruled that Labour’s proscription of Palestine Action is “disproportionate” and “unlawful”. This is a victory for the Palestine movement, and exposes the crisis of the ruling regime.
In yet another egregious attack on the Palestine movement and free speech, Met Police officers have arrested a leading RCP student activist at a pro-Palestine demonstration at UCL. Join our protest at 7pm at Charing Cross Police Station.
Yesterday, six of the ‘Filton 24’ political prisoners were found ‘not guilty’ by a jury at Woolwich Crown Court. The British state has once again failed to crush the Palestine movement. We also report from last Saturday’s 100,000-strong national Palestine demo.
Heba Muraisi, Kamran Ahmed, and Lewie Chiaramello – jailed for taking direct action in support of Palestine – are on the verge of dying after going on hunger strike for weeks. If they starve to death, Starmer and his government will be to blame.
