Greetings to the Lebanese Communist Party from the Communist Party of Israel

Dear comrade Dr. Khaled Khaddadeh, Secretary General of the Lebanese Communist Party and members of the Central Committee:

In the name of myself and all of the Israeli Communist Party leadership and rank-and-file, we send you, and through you to your entire party cadre, our best wishes and congratulations for the commemoration of 90 years since the foundation of your party, the Lebanese Communist Party.

We hold to great value the long standing role of your party in the struggle against French colonialism, against the imperialist trinity, Zionism and the Arab Reactionaries. Furthermore, you have struggled for the rights of the working class and women and played a significant role in the resistance against the Israeli aggression and occupation in 1982.

This commemoration comes at a time when we face the shadow of the unholy trinity’s attack against the peoples of the region and their nation states with the goal to implement the vision of “a New Middle East”. One of these states is Lebanon that pays the price for this plan with the lives of its national leadership, its stability, the rights and dignity of its citizens and their future in it. We celebrate your and your allies’ standing against these imperialist plans. In addition, we hold at the highest of values your patient struggle for democratic change in Lebanon.

We express our profound hope that this commemoration would become a cornerstone for the strengthening of your party’s struggle and the strengthening of its links of solidarity with the rest of the communist parties of the region and the forces of liberation and progress.

With comradely regards,

Mohammed Nafa’h, Secretary General of the Communist Party of Israel
