Palestinian Communist Party
Dear comrades The pandemic that struck the world, Covid-19 pandemic, has collectively affected the peoples of the world and their working class, in two directions, the first is healthy and the second economically.
In the health direction, the pandemic came to show the fragility of the health system that depends on the profit-oriented private sector at the expense of the International Relations needs of the working class. Thus, the hard-working people were not able to receive the necessary treatCentral Committee ment to confront the pandemic. In Palestine, our situPalestinian Communist Party ation is no different from the rest of the world’s people, but rather worsens for the following reasons: First: The systematic role that the occupation plays against our people, deliberately exploiting the health situation, whether inside or outside detention centers, as it prevents medical personnel from reaching the sick, and conducts barbaric raids on our cities and villages. Second: The rampant corruption of the authority’s apparatus, which has reached the point of distributing aid collected through donations from the people to family and friends through “popular” committees formed by the authority’s organization, in ways and methods that are not related to transparency. Third: Using the state of emergency to pass political positions by force through the arrests made by the authority against the demanding movements on ridiculous charges that have nothing to do with the pandemic. Economically, the economic crisis in which the peoples of the world are going through a crisis of surplus wealth has clearly accelerated and the barbarism of the bourgeoisie has emerged through the closures that hit the working class, which caused the collapse of the social structure. Poverty, and at the same time the profits of the bourgeoisie increased, according to studies, billions increased in the hands of a few bourgeois, including 20 Arabs. This is how clearly the decline of the middle class and the increase in the number of the unemployed army, not to mention the increase in the poverty of the already poor. To counter the indignation of the people and the discontent of the working class, they used the emergency laws from preventing assembly to preventing any organized activity, such as using emergency laws to confront the mass movement in the United States against racism and Trump’s barbaric policies prove that the bourgeoisie wants to pass its plans by force without taking into account neither the will nor the needs of the people. .
