ISRAEL’S Communist Party is calling for mass mobilisation for May Day marches to defy growing police repression in the country.
The Communist Party of Israel (CPI) said demonstrations should “rise against the occupation, against fascism, against class oppression and against exploitation” given Israel’s far-right government’s bid to weaken the judiciary and accelerate the colonisation of Palestine.
The party appealed for international solidarity after police raided its Nazareth headquarters on Wednesday, arresting the city’s party secretary and illegally seizing flags.

The people of Palestine need our solidarity in actions not words – trade unionists must give them our full support in their darkest hour, writes DANIEL KEBEDE
