 YCL General Secretary George Waterhouse condemned the 'cowardly attack' on the Free Gaza flotilla by Israeli armed forces. The 'brutal' intervention 'further demonstrates Israel's arrogant contempt for the rule of law.'
The flotilla carried aid in the form of school and medical supplies that are desperately needed in blockaded Gaza. Hundreds of activists from around the globe were present including Holocaust survivors.

The 8th meeting of European Communist Youth Organisations met at the European Parliament in Brussels under the slogan ‘The struggle of young communists against the capitalist barbarism and anticommunism; for socialism’.
Delegates were welcomed by Yiorgos Toussas, MEP and member of the CC of the KKE (Greek Communist Party). He announced that within the European Union, 23 million were unemployed and 80 million lived below the poverty line, that the EU and bourgeois governments are ‘generalising their assault on Europe’s working classes’. This takes the form of flexible methods of employment, low wages and cutbacks in health and in education. The youth are particularly targeted, as education is being transformed into a mere learning of skills to provide a workforce that will make yet more profits for the monopolies. During a period where many young people are questioning the European Union’s policies, anti-communism is being accelerated, distorting history to equate communism with fascism. Yiorgos Toussas declared that ‘we need an escalation of activity to stand up against this barbarism’. ‘We need a popular economy, where the needs of workers and young people will be met’.
