Collectivist socialist internationalists hate the Jewish state for its ethnic and religious particularity, and are thus happy to ally with the genocidal jihad against Israel.
“Chris Helali, International Secretary Of The Party Of Communists USA: After A Century Under The Banner Of Lenin, I Believe The Banner Of The Next Century Will Be Fighting Imperialism And Supporting Palestine,” MEMRI, January 21, 2024:
Chris Helali, the international secretary of the Party of Communists USA, addressed the International Assembly of the World Workers Party against Imperialism and in Support of Palestine on January 21, 2024. In a video of his address, posed on the Workers World Party on YouTube, he acknowledged the event taking place at the Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial & Educational Center, saying that Muslims, and Shiaa Muslims in particular, appreciate the concept of martyrdom.
In honor of the 100th anniversary of Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin, Helali read a poem by Mahmoud Darwish, a recipient of the Lenin Award. He said that the past 100 years were under the “banner of Lenin,” but the coming 100 years will be under the banner of being “against imperialism and in support of Palestine.” Helali honored the “legacy” of the comrades fighting for the DPRK, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Venezuela. He led the crowd in chants: “Down with imperialism, colonialism, and Zionism.” Helali’s statements were posted on Workers World Party on YouTube on February 18.
Chris Helali: “Growing up in a Muslim family and thinking about of course, Haj Malik, of course Malcom X, and to be in this room here is deeply spiritual, especially for us Shia, who have in Iran and throughout the world, have an understanding of martyrdom, an understanding of those who have been killed, and the slogan that everyday is Ashura and everywhere is Karbala, thinking about Imam Hussein. So, thinking also about the martyrdom here.

“And of course, combining the Palestine resistance and the centenary celebration of Lenin, I could think of only the poet Mahmoud Darwish, who is considered the national poet of Palestine, and was himself awarded the Lenin Prize, which he valued above all else in the 1980s by the Soviet Union, and so I will read from his poem.
[…]
“‘I do not hate people. I do not assault anyone. But, if I get hungry, I eat the flesh of my usurper. Beware. Beware of my hunger and of my anger.’ Celebrating one hundred years since the passing of Comrade Vladimir Lenin is an important milestone. It’s an opportunity of us to regroup, to rethink, to criticize and self-criticize and to rebuild and keep the struggle going. And so, after a century under the banner of Lenin, I believe that the next century will be under that banner, and that banner is not only the symbol of Palestine. It is the symbol of all oppressed people. You see it everywhere, throughout the world.
[…]
“We honor the legacy of your comrades, standing not only in solidarity with the Palestinians, but in solidarity with the DPRK, in solidarity with Zimbabwe, in solidarity with Cuba, with Venezuela. All of these struggles throughout the world.
[…]
“So, let us say together: ‘Down with imperialism, colonialism, and Zionism!’
Audience: “Down with imperialism, colonialism, and Zionism!”
Helali: “Free Free!”
Audience: “Palestine!”
Helali: “Free Free!”
Audience: “Palestine!”
Helali: “From the River to the Sea!”
Audience: “Palestine will be free!”
Helali: “Thank you Comrades.”

I don’t think so

It’s time the communists are relegated to the garbage bins of the world. The combination of islam and communism stinks like the depths of hell.
Captain Iglo says
The communists killed 100.000.000 people. Please let that sink in. The garbage bins of the world are too luxurious for this scum.
bagsgroove says
His name says it all. Helali “Hell Ally”
bill says
Keep flogging the dead horse, The only agency that has killed more people than communism is Islam. It is no surprise they are aligned
Patriot64 says
These people have to be stopped. They are a threat to the entire world.
WPM says
He should ask what happen to the members of the communist party in Iran after the Islamic leaders took control of that nation? The leaders of the communist party in Iran after backing the Islamic revolution leaders take over of Iran the communist where the first to be killed . Communist are useful idiots if they think jihadist will share power with them.
Westman says
So true, WPM.
It is hilarious that communist kufirs, fellow-traveling with Islam, don’t realize as helpful atheist unbelievers they are simply on the delayed killing list no matter how much support they provide.
Islam has no gratefulness for kufirs.
And wearing Arafat’s terrorist “necktie”? Priceless ignorance….
James Lincoln says
Yes, WPM.
The commie Tudeh Party of Iran.
carpediadem says
Just what i was thinking.
Ernie says
He is in love with martyrdom as is every good Shia ; hope somebody will give him his opportunity very soon . Mindboggling discrepancy between communism and islam . Complete cognitive dissonance . Mad and dangerous .
OLD GUY says
Sounds like he has a mental health problem.
FYI says
He has the keffiyeh of course.You can always spot the lefties.
All lefties wear the kefiyeh as if it was a religious shawl.
Goofy says
Must be an Harvard grad.
bagsgroove says
You think he is smart enough to graduate from any university ?
Goofy says
Dartmouth and some Greek U., M.A. and M.Sc.
Patriot64 says
These people have to be stopped. They want world domination over everyone.

somehistory says
‘Celebrating’ a century since lenin croaked. A great ‘one hundred’ if it hadn’t been for so many of his *kind* left behind.
Those who put no value on the lives of others; selfish ghouls taking, taking and giving only grief and causing sorrow, both in islam and in communism. Two evil tools of satan the devil, the followers of each doing their “father’s desires.”.
bagsgroove says
And that is the truth !
somehistory says
bagsgroove,
Thank you.

James Lincoln says
bagsgroove,
Maybe from one of the poison ivy league schools.
Goofy says
I rather like your addition, ‘poison ivy’. That pretty much sums it up, I’d say. If you google him, you will find he graduated (M.A.) from Dartmouth and some Greek U. (M.Sc.), or at least that’s what it says there.
James Lincoln says
Goofy,
Thanks for your reply – and added info.
John Smith says
What a bloody idiot this man is, and a dangerous one at that. He hasn’t got a clue as to what he’s babbling on about.
nicholas william tesdorf says
Going straight from one failed Idealism to another failed religion indicates a severe lack of intelligence.
Dr. Spock says
I agree.
Ernie says
The mans name is CHRIS Helali ? He is a SHIA-muslim And a communist ? “Chris ” is not a muslim name . And being simultaniously a muslim and a communist is impossible . Very strange .
Lookmann says
During the early 1950s anybody suspected of being /sympathetic to communists was hunted down in McCarthy purge. Now commies are openly threatening U S, within U S.
Sincerely looking for Trump to drain the swamp. God Bless America !
James Lincoln says
The DC swamp is way, way deeper than I had ever imagined Lookmann.
