Re: Report of XIV Congress of the Communist Party of Israel, May 31 ~ June 3, 1961; Excerpts From Speech of Comrade Emile Habibi Is it possible that independent human beings can close their eyes to the existence of socialism and its leading role in the entire historic development? In our country, as well as in all the capitalist countries, a process of re-appraisal of old views is taking place. The intensification of the anti-Soviet and anti-Communist incitement in our country does not point to the non-existence of this process but to the fears of the leaders of our country. The anti-Soviet and anti-Communist campaign is a sensitive thermometer showing the degree of high temperature run by the reactionary rulers and by those circles whose entire political existence is based on the premise that capitalism is eternal. The more these rulers feel the approach of their end, the more they intensify the incitement against the Soviet Union and against communism. Thus they march towards the sane inevitable end of all reactionaries in history, of all those who tried by means of terror, incitement and cruel oppression to prevent the people from seeing the new facts. We fight this anti-Soviet and anti-Communist campaign because it is the blackest of all black screens preventing the people of our country from seeing the wide horizons opening before the eyes of mankind on its march towards peace, scientific development and social progress. We fight this incitement because we want our people to march together with all mankind toward the happiest historical epoch. Communism in our times is the inheritor and fulfillment of all the loftiest ideals of humanity. All the lights in the world will not be able to illuminate the dark future awaiting the colonialist system, capitalism and its Ben-Gurion agents in our country.
