We stand in full solidarity with the Filton24 activists, held on remand without trial for over a year. Eight of these political prisoners are currently on hunger strike in protest against Britain’s role in producing weapons used in the genocide of the Palestinian people. The hunger strike follows sustained repression by the prison system, including […]

The so-called Gaza “peace plan” offers no real peace. It is a pause in killing, not a step towards liberation. After months of destruction, the truce promises only a breath of air for a besieged population while Israel, backed by the US, Britain and all its allies, maintains the machinery of occupation and control untouched.

Yesterday night the majority of the Global Sumud Flotilla was violently seized by the IDF in international waters. We condemn without hesitation this act of piracy by the Zionist state, which once again shows its utter disregard for international law and for human life. Every attempt to break the siege of Gaza is met with

Often Palestine and Kurdistan are lumped together as if they were fighting the same struggle. Nothing could be further from the truth. Palestine, unlike Kurdistan, is a colony – more specifically, a settler colony; Kurdistan, by contrast, is a region or, for some, a nation divided between four different states. This post analyses how these
Palestine and Kurdistan are not the same struggle Read More »
Dockworkers in Genoa have taken militant action against shipments of weapons to Israel, blockading ports, halting arms, and joining solidarity initiatives like the Global Sumud Flotilla. These actions show how workers can strike real blows against Zionism and imperialism: expanding the struggle, raising the level of confrontation, and placing Palestine at the centre of national
Dockworkers show the way: international solidarity with Palestine Read More »
Under the guise of peace, Starmer’s two-state proposal offers Palestinians not liberation but surrender. The New York Conference demands disarmament, submission to the PA, and the erasure of resistance. This is not progress: it is the bloody mask of continued Zionist domination. On 28 July, the UN held a conference in New York to discuss

Communist Vanguard stands for organised class struggle against Zionism, imperialism, and the British capitalist system sustaining them. The fight for Palestinian liberation is not separate from the class struggle in Britain. They are part of the same global confrontation – a confrontation with imperialism, Zionism, and the capitalist system that sustains them. Palestine is occupied

Communist Vanguard strongly condemns the UK government’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action under anti-terror laws – a decision that, if passed by Parliament, will criminalise membership and support for the group, punishable by up to 14 years in prison. This move follows recent actions by Palestine Action, including a high-profile break-in at RAF Brize Norton

There are two popular but incorrect takes on Palestine today. First: that countries like Russia and China form an ‘anti-imperialist axis’, and should therefore be supported by communists around the world. Second: that all wars are imperialist, and so Palestine’s struggle must be too – requiring communists to maintain neutrality in the current national liberation

Fatah, once a nationalist party leading the struggle for Palestinian liberation, now represents a class that profits from collaboration with Zionism and imperialism. The main leader of Fatah, Mahmoud Abbas, recently called some of those fighting for Palestinian national liberation ‘sons of dogs‘. This disgraceful remark epitomises the party’s long-standing collaboration with Zionist political, economic,
