    to Palestine protest or Union solidarity actions or whatever aren't the majority of Americans

    They might not be the majority of Americans but they generate 30000x the pulbicity PSL ever has

    Which, of course, PSL has played no role in, right...

      PSL strong armed to take over ANSWER and has used it as a tool for self promotion. Of course they have a loud voice in these spaces, that can't be denied, but let's not give them more credit for the movement than is due. ___

          ANSWER is older than PSL and was a coalition, PSL split from WWP and strong armed the other leadership out of ANSWER.

          lol

            Yeah, formed by the people who split to form PSL.

            Besides, that's totally irrelevant. Even if they hijacked it and you think that's bad or whatever, that still means they're the ones running ANSWER. So which is it? You can't have it both ways.

                PSL deserving no credit for the public consciousness of Palestine because they "didn't found ANSWER" or whatever, vs PSL having "hijacked" ANSWER 20 years ago.

                  You should reread what I said and try again because you clearly have a very different understanding that isn't based on anything I said

                    Well, I guess you're not really saying much of anything then. You seem to be implying that PSL is a marginal figure in the Palestinian solidarity movement in the US. You're saying their role in a protest movement is that they... "have a loud voice"? In a discussion about public sentiment around Palestine? These positions are inconsistent.
