Arrest
On 26 November 2023, Ranjeet Brar and 3 comrades from the Communist Party of Great Britain were arrested in London during a demonstration in solidarity with the Palestinian people, following Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip which was launched on October 7 after Hamas’ Operation Al Aqsa Flood.[1]
Ranjeet Brar said:
- "It can’t be racism to repeat historical facts.
- “They have deliberately targeted anyone who is trying to equate the crimes of Zionist Israel with Nazi Germany.
- “The West behaves as if history started on October 7, and before the Hamas ‘unjustified’ attack on Israel everything was peaceful and everything comes down to Hamas fighters, but when you put it in context, it is very clear to see that Israel, the US and UK are the aggressors.
- He called Zionism “a racist entity implanted by the British as a settler colonial force.”
- Brar also lashed out at the Western leaders for justifying Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians in order to use Israel as a tool to dominate the oil-rich region.
- He said Israel is a “puppet” to the United States and the UK and pointed to the other interventions and actions of the two countries such as “hostility towards Iran, occupation of Iraq, occupation of Afghanistan, war in Yemen, occupation of Syria, war to displace the government of Libya's Muammar Gaddafi, and other relentless wars” as plans to interfere and to steal their resources.[2]
