American Communist Party Int’l Secretary Christopher Helali on Iranian TV discusses arrest of Mohsen Mahdawi: U.S. crackdown on pro-Palestinian activists driven by Israel Lobby; I feel freer and safer in Moscow than in the U.S.
Christopher Helali, International Secretary of the American Communist Party (ACP), discussed the recent crackdown on anti-Israel activists in the U.S. in an interview with Press TV (Iran) correspondent Johnny Miller, which was aired from Russia on May 17, 2025. Helali spoke about Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian Columbia University student from Vermont who was detained during his immigration interview.
Mahdawi, who according to allegations told a gun shop owner he wanted a gun to “kill Jews in Palestine,” was described by Helali as “one of the most peaceful and non-violent activists we’ve had in Vermont.”
