COMMUNISTS gathered in Israel vowed to fight “against racism and Jewish superiority” in the country at a three-day party conference which concluded in Shfaram on Saturday.

The Communist Party of Israel, known alternatively as Maki, said that “only a substantial and profound democratic change in dominant views” would rescue the country from a deepening crisis.

“The people of Israel need a political force capable of fighting for full national and civic equality of rights for the Arab-Palestinian national minority in Israel, and which will fight all signs of racism and Jewish superiority in the country,” a statement from the party’s central committee said.
