The Workers Party of Ireland condemns the Israeli Knesset Death Penalty Law Against Palestinian Prisoners. This legislation targeting Palestinian prisoners is blatantly racist and discriminatory in both intent and application, singling out an already oppressed and long-suffering people for the most extreme form of punishment, reinforcing the long-standing message that Palestinian lives are less deserving of dignity, protection and justice than others. The law contains no equi

The Left Chapter's editor Michael Laxer talks about why Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew's "Epstein Class" rhetoric is a problem and its not because it is antisemitic. It is not.
