    I’m an anarchist and have no great love for the organization in general, but I think this little screenshot might be a but misleading, and that’s a shit thing to do to other leftists.

    Here appears to be recent, relevant posts on CPUSA’s actual website: https://www.cpusa.org/?ssearch=palestine&fq=any&sort=date&order=desc

    Some of the titles alone:

    • “Gaza: The second wave of genocide”
    • “A ceasefire is the first step toward peace and liberation”
    • “The cost of silencing voices for peace”
    • “CP and YCL take it to the streets: Ceasefire now!”
    • “Stop the war! End the occupation! Free Palestine!” (Note: published Oct 8, 2023)

    And here’s the first paragraph of that first article:

    After several days of ceasefire, Israel again embarked upon its campaign of wanton killing and destruction. This followed yet the latest visit to the region by U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, underlining for anyone somehow still under doubt that the U.S. is most certainly an accomplice to this genocide being perpetrated by the Israeli occupation forces against the wholly innocent people of Gaza, undertaken of course with an arsenal of U.S. state-of-the-art weaponry, military technology, and intelligence.

    I haven’t gone into the details of their writing, but this really doesn’t sound like an organization of zionists who are condemning Hamas or other Palestinians, or supporting the apartheid regime and its genocide.

      “Stop the war! End the occupation! Free Palestine!” (Note: published Oct 8, 2023)

      They don’t use the word genocide in the entire article and even say “Apartheid-like” They cant even all it an apartheid state.
