The RCG, which has as its motto and the name of its bi-monthly newspaper Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism!, is a Communist-Leninist and anti-capitalist group that regularly organises anti-Israel rallies.
It has historically been highly critical of British foreign policy, especially with regards to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Northern Ireland, and has officially advocated against taking part in British elections since 1979.
The Guardian has previously faced accusations from the Jewish community that it was not sufficiently critical of Hamas and is unfair in its representation of Israel.
