    We criticize Hamas not to justify Israel’s assault on Gaza nor to isolate ourselves from the Palestinian struggle, but to win more US workers to oppose Israel’s war. If we were to remain silent on Hamas, or even worse to support them, we empower the right-wing of the labor movement to block our efforts to mobilize unions against this war.

    The right-wing anti-communist labor unions that has been funded by think-tanks all the time?

    Why should we win their support?

    As far as I’m concerned, Hamas and Ansrallah should be CRITICALLY supported, and whatever faults they have, don’t amount to as much of Israel’s previous and current bombings of Gaza and oppression in the West Bank and Jerusalem… Criticism can start by the end of this war…

    Look at Israel and tell me, is anyone supporting them going to do some self-reflection response on whether to stop after giving a disproportionate response to a response?

    As for them getting egged on by Netanyahu’s gov’t to do so, let their plans backfire hard as to reckon a bloody response, by Hezbollah and Iran’s response…

    There, the Zimbabwean-style road to liberation against settlerism and hafrada shall commence…
