Israeli kangaroo court in action Solidarity with Ahmed SaadatOn December 25 a Zionist military court sentenced the leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine to 30 years of prisons. The verdict concludes completely ridiculous court proceedings which violated any democratic juridical norm possible."When the Israelis arrested him, they accused him of having killed Zeevi, but this accusation did not appear in the sentencing which proves that his arrest was political and was not related to security issues," PFLP member Khalida Jarar stated.Saadat pays for his steadfastness in his opposition to the Zionist occupation. While significant parts of his leftist organisation have been wavering between the collaborators of Fatah and the Palestinian Authority on one side and the … [read more]

In Athens only, 21 police stations have been besieged by the youth, who replied to the police attacks with stones, turned upside down many police vehicles and burned them.

Thousands of people stand by their side: their parents, their teachers, the militants of the Left. In many cases, the … [read more]

3rd Statement of the Communist Organization of Greece (KOE) We, the Anti-imperialist Camp, welcome the wonderful revolt of the Greek youth and express our utmost solidarity.

It brings back life to Europe.We fully support the attempts of the antagonist forces to gather the popular masses for an onslaught on the government in order to topple it. Tomorrow's general strike is a further step in this direction.The big challenge will be to hinder PASOK to reap the fruits of the struggle just to save the system as they did so many times before. At the same time we call upon the Greek Communist Party not to … [read more]

Communist Organization of Greece (KOE) informs the progressive public opinion 1. Yesterday evening, Saturday 6 December, a member of the Police Special Forces shot in cold blood and killed a 15 year old boy in the center of Athens.2. Dozens of eye witnesses who came forward and spoke to the Media confirm that this was a cold blood murder, as there were no incidents going on. The attempt of the Greek government to lie to the public opinion, claiming that the kids attacked the police, finally failed: Tonight, Sunday 7 December, even the mainstream Media are openly calling the government's claims "a blatant lie".3. The police murder comes after years of increasing state terror against the youth and the working people, who goes always unpunished and is always covered and justified by the … [read more]

Why we remain anti-American A Black president in a country that was founded on slavery and racism—that is a true sensation. We understand and share the joy and satisfaction in the Black communities from Harlem via Chicago to New Orleans.Editorials in Europe celebrate the victory of someone who does not belong to the WASP elite as the restoration and confirmation of the American Dream—a Black man as elected monarch. The nightmare of the Bush years was supposedly just an aberration that failed, a deviation that is behind us now; the true, liberal America of opportunities is back, bright eyes, bushy tail.The lower and middle class had enough of the anti-social and war-mongering course of that coalition of protestant fundamentalists and neo-conservatives, and voted … [read more]

Warum wir antiamerikanisch bleiben Ein schwarzer Präsident in einem Land, das auf Sklaverei und Rassismus gegründet war, ist eine Sensation. Wir können die Freude und Genugtuung in den schwarzen Gettos von Harlem über Chicago bis New Orleans nur zu gut verstehen.Von den europäischen Leitartiklern und Kommentatoren wird die Tatsache, dass es einer von außerhalb der WASP-Elite (White Anglo-Saxon Protestants) geschafft hat, Wahlmonarch zu werden, als Wiederherstellung und Bestätigung des amerikanischen Traums gefeiert. Der Alpdruck der Bush-Jahre sei bloß ein gescheiterter Irrweg gewesen, nun ausgestanden und das gute, liberale Amerika der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten melde sich umso frischer und kräftiger zurück.Es ist klar, dass es in den Unter- und Mittelschichten eine massive … [read more]

Des Dalton, vice president of Republican Sinn Fà©in Following speech was held on a conference organised by the Anti-imperialist Camp in Vienna, Austria, on Oct 23, 2008.The road leading to the position in which the Provisionals occupy today did not begin in 1998 or indeed in 1994, it began in 1986 with the decision by an element within the Republican Movement to radically transform the direction in which the revolutionary movement was headed. The British Government were not blind to these developments and changes within the leadership of the Republican Movement and moved quickly and early to facilitate and ease the path of the Provisionals to its logical conclusion. Each step since then has seen the Provisionals ensnared further within the apparatus of British rule:1. The acceptance … [read more]

Thesis on Venezuela 1. Unlike most of the left, both in Venezuela and in other countries, we supported the Fifth Republic Movement (MVR). Later (in 1998) we welcomed the election of Hugo Chávez Frà­as as President of the Republic as an exceptional anti-imperialist victory and as the beginning of a new and positive step, not only for Venezuela but for all of Latin America.2. For the first time in decades, in a country which is decisive for the geopolitical balance of the continent, a leader had come to power who declared his radical hostility not only to imperialism, particularly US imperialism, but also to Venezuela's rotten, oligarchic two-party system, which is the expression of a corrupt and subservient capitalism. Chávez' anti-imperialism was not just for show. He was … [read more]

Greetings to the Workers World Party In the name of the Anti-imperialist Camp we convey our warm and fraternal greetings to your conference, which takes place right at an important turn of the global situation. The U.S. Empire, as it has been built after the implosion of the USSR, is in decisive trouble. Its permanent war has been unable to suppress the popular resistances, which sprang up in across the world, especially in the Middle East. On the contrary, aggression has awakened increased resistance. This led to a situation in which the U.S. establishment has so far been unable to launch an attack on Iran, and which gave Russia the possibility to militarily defend the Caucasus as its sphere of influence. Without military intervention punishing its challengers, the American Empire … [read more]

We will continue to fight for those slogans to be adopted by the movement. As Anti-imperialist Camp we, however, go much further as we … [read more]
