Reply to the letter of a former Egyptian comrade

The Comintern (SH) publishes the related letter of the former Egyptian comrade in following this Statement

Actually, it is a waste of time to reply to your letter. Basically, you are only distracting us from our revolutionary work.

Nevertheless, we consider it our duty to inform our comrades about your anti-party behaviour. This is also the only reason why the party publishes your provocative letter herewith. The party comrades should read what you have written.

If you think that we are now going to engage in an endless political dispute with you, we are sorry to disappoint you. We cannot and will not do you this favour. What do you want to achieve with this? Do you want to convince us and prove to the public that you have a correct political standpoint and that the party shies away from an argument with you?

If criticism of the party is justified, we are grateful for it because it allows us to correct our mistake. But with you, the case is different. You have made such a kind of "criticism" by which you intend to expose the party and accuse it of a departure from its principles. So there is one criticism to help the party and another "criticism" to harm the party. Every comrade will quickly recognise this difference in your letter, because your "justifications" (defamations!) are all too obvious.

A comrade starts to insult the party when he has run out of arguments against the Party.

We don't need to hide from you. We represent our political point of view in public, just as we have explained our political point of view to you within the party, because you have deviated from it (far too often).

In today's war situation, where a sea of Palestinian blood is flowing, we simply refuse to elaborate on your provocations against our party.

We deeply abhor your dishonest intentions.

Calling us enemies of the Palestinians and friends of the Zionists is simply inexcusable and unacceptable. In your letter, you behave like an agent provocateur not only towards us, but also towards the Palestinians and towards the whole revolutionary Arab world.

No, the party will not be provoked by you!

In the past, you have distanced yourself more and more from the party. Now, finally, with your last letter, you have shown us your true face. Your break with the party is obvious. Now you have started to put yourself ""above the party and act as the supreme judge. You are abusing the party's point of view to turn it against the party. This is what only party enemies do to bring confusion and division in the party. We have already been warned about you before you joined the party. Now you have exposed yourself and confirmed to us that the warning about you was not unfounded. In your letter you have exposed yourself as an agent provocateur. You have harmed the counter-revolution by your emotion and carelessness and have done a great service to the party by giving us clarity about yourself.

Your letter is a swan song of incantatory prophecies that we are supposedly beyond saving and that we ourselves are to blame for our downfall if we do not listen to you. We shall see, dear comrade.

You pretend that it is not us, but only you who are concerned about the Palestinians. If it were so, why did you keep silent about the Palestinians for months and instead only felt sorry for yourself all the time ? As a representative of the Comintern (SH) in the Arab world, it would have been your duty to write solidarity articles for the Palestinian cause all the time. Instead, the Central Office had to do that for you, mind you, in the time when you were still a member !
