Communist Party of Israel strongly condemns Knesset law mandating death penalty for Palestinians

Fascist National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir

The decision of the Knesset to approve legislation imposing the death penalty on Palestinians marks a very dangerous escalation in the institutionalized repression of an entire people—an escalation that has been met with a forceful and uncompromising response from the Communist Party of Israel.

Adopted on the night of March 30, the law stipulates that capital punishment will be imposed on anyone who carries out a deadly attack “with the intent to deny the existence of the State of Israel.” In reality, however, the law is crafted in such a way that it overwhelmingly targets Palestinians.

A U.S. Imperialist Remembers Philosopher Jürgen Habermas

By Charles Andrews

Jürgen Habermas, the celebrated philosopher and “defender of humane Enlightenment values,” as the Guardian newspaper called him, died this month.

Among the flood of eulogies, one Alex Karp published a reminiscence of Habermas, under whom Karp studied in his late twenties. Karp praises Habermas because he “unsparingly derided ‘idiots’ and ‘half-idiots’ on either the right or the left” for their “inconsistent thought and a lack of intellectual rigor.” Karp’s look back consists mostly of anecdotes like this one:

Ukraine: Zelensky’s regime intensifies persecution of the Kononovich Brothers

The case of the Kononovich brothers (Mikhail and Alexander) has entered a new and deeply alarming phase, revealing with even greater clarity the nature of their persecution by the reactionary Ukrainian regime. 

After years of detention, surveillance, and legal harassment, a recent development has not brought relief—but intensified danger. The sudden removal of their electronic monitoring devices, reportedly carried out without a corresponding judicial decision, has not meant freedom. 

 

What If Cuba Had Nuclear Weapons? The Limits of “Peaceful Coexistence”

By Nikos Mottas

Today, more than six decades after the Cuban Revolution, the United States continues to enforce one of the most prolonged and comprehensive systems of economic warfare in modern history. The blockade—tightened, codified, and expanded over decades—seeks not merely to pressure, but to suffocate. 

Sanctions on fuel, financial strangulation, extraterritorial enforcement, and constant efforts to disrupt Cuba’s access to energy and trade are not isolated measures; they form a coherent strategy aimed at exhausting a society that refuses to abandon its chosen path.

Israeli communist MP Aida Touma-Sliman: Why we oppose the imperialist war against Iran

In an interview published this week in Zo Haderech amid the ongoing wars in Iran and Lebanon, Hadash MP Aida Touma-Sliman expressed firm opposition to the war, stressing that opposition to war must be the starting point.

“Two days ago someone asked me why I oppose the war,” she said. “I replied that answers should be demanded from those who start wars, not from those who oppose them. The default must be opposition to war, because wars will never bring security or peace.”

Cuba responds firmly to U.S destabilization attempts: Morón vandalism denounced by revolutionary forces

The recent events in Morón have once again exposed the real dynamics at play in Cuba: a people enduring material hardship under siege, and a handful of disruptive elements attempting to turn those hardships into political destabilization.

A Marxist-Leninist Critique of Jürgen Habermas

By Nikos Mottas

The death of Jürgen Habermas closes the life of one of the most influential intellectual figures of postwar Europe. For more than half a century his name stood at the center of debates about democracy, rationality and the public sphere. 

Few philosophers shaped so decisively the language through which Western Europe interpreted its own political legitimacy after 1945. 

From Bay of Pigs to Speedboats: Trump Still Doesn’t Get It

There are moments when the class character of imperialist aggression reveals itself with brutal clarity. February 25, 2026, was one such moment. Cuban border guards intercepted a Florida-registered speedboat just one nautical mile off Cayo Falcones in Villa Clara province. The vessel carried ten armed Cuban exiles operating from U.S. soil. 

 

When the patrol approached to enforce sovereignty, the infiltrators opened fire. Cuban forces defended themselves, killing four − including at least one U.S. citizen − and wounding six. 

 

Why is it important for Communist and Workers Parties to meet in Havana this year?

                 By Nahide Özkan* 

 

In the twentieth century, the existence of the Soviet Union and the socialist bloc led to an “extraordinary” deviation in the course of capitalism. The unrestrained aggression of the imperialist system, backed by colonial accumulation, was somewhat restrained by strong working-class governments, both in domestic social policies and in the arena of international relations, and bound by certain rules that gave it a “civilized” face.

80 years since Fulton: Churchill’s imperialist manifesto against Socialism

By Nikos Mottas

On 5 March 1946, less than a year after the defeat of Nazi Germany, Winston Churchill stood before an audience at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, and delivered the speech that would soon be known as the “Iron Curtain” speech. 

In Western political mythology, the address is often portrayed as a prophetic warning about Soviet expansion. In reality, it was something quite different: a calculated ideological declaration of hostility toward the socialist world and one of the founding political acts of the Cold War.
