Regular readers of the Weekly Worker will know the name of a regular contributor, Daniel Lazare. The CPGB has decided to ‘part company’ with him. Why is this? Over the concept of ‘genocide’, which Lazare denounces (along with its author Raphael Lemkin). Here is the article by Lazare that the WW would not print, which led to the break: https://daniellazare.com/2024/09/02/the-great-hamas-debate-continues .
(And here (the second letter on that page) is Jack Conrad’s announcement of the break:
https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1504/letters)“My disagreement with the Communist Party of Great Britain over the Hamas question has reached the breaking point. The problem is the party leadership repeated use of terms like “heroic” to describe the events of Oct. 7, which I regard as absolutely reprehensible.“
If the Weekly Worker mob have been describing the events of 7 October as “heroic”, then there is something wrong with them..
Quoting h.moss: ‘A lot of sense in much of what Lazare has to say.’

In this week’s WW there are two letters (letters number two and three on that page) celebrating the eviction, followed by a comment by Lazare himself (usefully including a link to his site, which I how I saw his unprintable article):https://weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1505/letters/
