A CALL for peace groups and Palestine campaigners to collaborate to create “a united peace front that can mobilise millions” are set to be made at the Communist Party congress in London this weekend.

The congress, expected to be the biggest for 30 years, will call for greater collaboration between the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), Stop the War and Palestine Solidarity Campaign to create the “united peace front,” said Communist Party of Britain general secretary Rob Griffiths.

In his address to Congress tomorrow, Mr Griffiths will add the voice of the Communist Party to those demanding “an end to Israel’s aggression and blockade against the Gaza Strip and West Bank and solidarity with the Palestinian people facing a brutal military offensive, incursions of armed settlers and the continuing occupation of the Palestinian territories.”

He said: “We are experiencing an unprecedented capitalist cost-of-living crisis, war in the East and the wholesale murderous assault on civilians in Gaza. 

“In each of these, Britain’s ruling class and their conservative government is culpable.” 

The threat to peace and its links to the capitalist crisis will be debated and are together the subject of nearly 50 motions and amendments from party branches, districts and the nations of Britain. 

Mr Griffiths warned that Nato provocations meant that any single event could spark conflagration.

“The only force in the world that has its interests and future in peace are the working people,” he said. 

“They must now assert these interests and act for peace and against war.”
