All Out For Palestine! - PopularResistance.Org
popularresistance.orgSamidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network urges all Palestinian, Arab and international supporters of Palestine to escalate their organizing and struggle to confront massacres and ethnic cleansing and support Palestinian resistance! In this moment, it is particularly important to highlight our unconditional support for the Palestinian people and their right to resist. It is now and has always been the resistance of the Palestinian people, through all forms of struggle, that defends Palestine from colonization. Our solidarity must affirm Palestinian resistance, Palestinian return, and Palestinian liberation, throughout the entire land of occupied Palestine. Join us in action in Stockholm, in London, in Madrid, in Berlin, in New York, in Vancouver, in Frankfurt, in Los Angeles, in Toronto, in Toulouse, in Gothenburg, in Athens, and so many other cities in the coming days.
I mean the left isn't really helpless here for once. It would only take a couple of the left's people in the House to publicly say they are not going to pass any of Biden's legislation unless he stops supporting this. If they refuse to block Biden in the house the left orgs like the DSA could publicly withdraw their endorsements of the squad. There isn't really much need to bother with the superficial stuff when the left has a power play on the table if it really cares about any of this beyond a branding level.
Are you saying we should depend on the DSA and the squad? Do you think the squad would be affected if they lose the DSA's endorsement (assuming that would even happen)
I'm saying there is an actual real option here beyond just shouting at the injustice in the world. You have people who can cause meaningful harm to the president's agenda. You also have orgs who's denouncements would cause meaningful harm to the fundraising and reputations of the people with that power. If organizing isn't to exploit opportunity like this then what is it for?
BDS and organizing isn't shouting at injustice...
I get what you're saying and would encourage anyone who can to pressure the DSA and the squad but just don't put too much importance or hope on that and instead take action 🙂
I guess I just don't really get why there should be any resistance to do this when the whole point of BDS or organizing is to eventually put us in this exact position. We got lucky with the House margins and if we don't do this now there are no opportunities in the foreseeable future.
I'm all for the squad do everything they could and for all leftist orgs to show real solidarity, all I'm saying is we shouldn't sit around waiting for that. Also neither the DSA nor the squad are reliable enough for us to feel comfortable not taking action
Squad isn’t but dsa should be influencable?
