Dispatches

Netanyahu’s speech to the U.S. Congress not only reveals the criminality of the regime occupying the United States and its so-called “rules based” world order, but its increasingly brazen, aggressive character.

The open disregard for the basic conventions of international law set a dangerous precedent, further endangering both the security of the international community and that of the American people themselves.

As the internal crisis facing U.S. imperialism deepens, especially at the economic level, a type of madness is beginning to lay hold of the most “prestigious” and “reputable” politicians, intellectuals, commentators, and other major figures of American public life: a madness characterized by enthusiasm for self-destructive and genocidal wars on a global scale.

The lauded and warm welcome of genocidal war criminal Netanyahu by the United States Congress sets a dangerous precedent based on an open disregard for the basic conventions of civilization. There is no longer any reason to believe that the same criminal methods employed by the Zionist entity against the Palestinians cannot also be used against the American people themselves lawfully resisting their own occupied regime. The struggle of the Palestinian people is inexorably linked with the struggle for sovereignty and self-determination on a global level. As the American Communist Party, we would thus like to take this opportunity to give our official stance on Palestinian statehood:

The American Communist Party does not extend recognition to the illegitimate entity called “Israel.” The Zionist project, whose fascistic character has long become evident to the world, has always been fundamentally contrary to the historical process by which nations acquire a legitimate and authentic existence.

The Party thus extends its recognition and solidarity with the Palestinian people, in whatever capacity that they struggle for national self-determination.
