This vibes anecdotally with my local chapter. In the face of overwhelming membership solidarity with Palestinian liberation, the social imperialist reactionaries are purging themselves.

    DSA’s National Political Committee did not agree with the two most prominent democratic socialists in American public life.

    doesn't really seem like a huge dunk on the DSA tbh

    knowing Israel@will retaliate- do you get that they don’t give a FUCK about Palestinian lives?????

    damn silverman, what if the israeli military simply... didn't retaliate? is it really solely on the prisoners inside the concentration camp to break the cycle of violence, even as that violent cycle is being continuously engineered by the guards?

      Also, in any socialist organization worth its salt the direction should be coming from the ground up, not the organization acquiescing to a couple of high-profile nominally socialist figures.

        nominally

        That's a word carrying a huge load for those liberals, if you're talking about who I think you're talking about

        The DSA has constitutional measures to undercut structures of democratic centralism, so it shouldn't be surprising that the liberal administrators want to be able to steer it as they please.

      They ironically dehumanize Israel by depicting it as a mindless monster that can only respond to uprisings with brutality.

      Which is true, but it's still funny when they tell on themselves.
