KKE: Statement on Israel's attack on Iran
European Communist Action: The peoples must condemn Israel’s warmongering
The 16th of June 2025 marks the 80th anniversary since the death of the iconic Greek communist guerrilla Aris Velouchiotis.
A member of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) and First Captain of the Greek People’s Liberation Army (ELAS) during World War Two, Velouchiotis has been a legendary personality of the Greek Resistance against the Axis occupation.
This act of aggression by Israel cannot be seen in isolation. All of its imperialist allies—including the United States, NATO, and the European Union—bear responsibility, whether through direct or indirect support, ongoing military, trade, or political cooperation.
Bertolt Brecht famously stated: “Those who are against fascism without being against capitalism, who lament the barbarism that breeds barbarism, are like those who want to eat their slice of beef, but do not want the beef to be slaughtered.”
In this way, the German writer made it clear that the genuine anti-fascist struggle entailed the overthrow of capitalism, which is the matrix of fascism.
“Israel’s planned and targeted air and missile attack on Iran, resulting in the deaths of Iranian officials, nuclear scientists and hundreds of civilians, is fueling the flames of war in the Middle East and threatening the peoples of the wider region with disaster. The attack was carried out under the pretext of Iran’s nuclear programme, but its real aim is to impose the imperialist plans of Israel and the USA on the wider region.

Subject: Response to the slanderous attack of the “Appeal”
Dear comrades,
On 11 June 2025, SolidNet received an “Appeal” from Parties attempting yet another slanderous attack, initiated by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) and the Russian Communist Workers’ Party (RCWP), regarding an article by the International Relations Section of the CC of the KKE entitled “On the International Anti-Fascist Forum in Moscow”.
"The Communist Party of Mexico expresses its solidarity with the multinational working class of the United States, which faces the anti-immigrant policies promoted by the North American state, both by the Republican and Democratic parties, as demonstrated by the mass deportations under the governments of Bush, Obama, and Biden, and which are now intensifying in Trump's second term.

Driven by deep convictions on the safety of their fellow working class members, hundreds of protestors made the courageous decision to directly confront ICE agents. ICE has been a weapon of terror wielded by the ruling class against the workers of this country. Brutalizing migrant workers and breaking up families, Democratic and Republican governments alike have set these dogs on migrant workers. The anger of large sectors of the population with the policies of different managers of capital is growing.
As TASS reminds, Osh is the second largest city after Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan. The administration assured that the decision was made based on expediency, and not because of Russophobia.
"There is no transparency in the entire process of how Starlink was accorded permission to operate in our country. StarLink is a foreign corporation and handing over India’s critical infrastructure to foreign hands has serious security implications. It provides a backdoor to US agencies into our telecom system and even our strategic communications.

More specifically, the amendment invokes the known, unhistorical and shameful theory of the "two extremes", thus equating communism with the monster of nazism; under the amended criminal law, the public display of the sickle and hammer or the Soviet flag would incur similar penalty as bearing swastikas or other Third Reich symbols!
Venezuela’s regional and parliamentary elections held on May 25 took place in a deeply undemocratic context, characterized by marked institutional opacity, particularly with regard to the criteria for the creation of the new electoral district corresponding to Guayana Esequiba; the absence of guarantees for political organizations and the electorate; the imposition of authoritarian political controls by the PSUV government elite; as well as a series of actions that demonstrate the systematic dismantling of the constitutional and legal framework.
More specifically, on Friday 13 June, political and cultural events, with the participation of the General Secretary of the Party, Dimitris Koutsoumbas, will be held in the city of Lamia, birthplace of Velouchiotis,
In recent years, various European countries have implemented laws that prohibit the public display of communist symbols, as well as the existence of communist parties, in the context of a reactionary wave of anti-communism.
Interestingly, at a time when socialism has long since disappeared from the European continent, the authorities are legislating with the aim of criminalizing an ideology that has historically been linked to significant social achievements for workers, especially during the early stage of the Soviet Union.
In a demonstration held in Haifa on May 31, Odeh sharply criticized the far-right Israeli government, claiming the country has become isolated internationally. “Israel has become a pariah state among the nations of the world, including in the West,” Odeh stated.
NATO is conducting a massive military exercise involving 12,000 troops until June 9th in the Balkans, centered around Alexandroupolis/Dedeağaç. Led by the USA, which relentlessly seeks to tighten its grip on the region, this operation is not about defense—it is a blatant act of aggression, just like all other NATO maneuvers. As always, the ones caught in the crosshairs are the working people.
Abraham (Avraam) Benaroya was born to a Shephardic Jew family in 1886 in Bidin, in the then Principality of Bulgaria, a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire. He began studying at the Faculty of Law in the University of Belgrade, but didn't graduate; instead, he became a teacher in Plovdiv. Being a polyglot, Abraham was fluent in at least six languages, including Ladino, Greek, Bulgarian, Serbian, English and Turkish.
Mr President,
