Palestine: The Socialist Perspective

Do most leftists support Palestinian liberation? We must talk about how the struggle for Palestinian freedom intersects with other struggles in the US and around the world.

My support for Palestine does not make me Anti-Semitic, Pro- Hamas or Anti Israel, my support for Palestine, simply makes me human!

[@tomtheeagle1]

The great irony is that the Israeli state helped found and fund Hamas so that they could drive a wedge between more secular Palestinians like the PLO and Fatah and the religious fundamentalist nationalists in Hamas. They never bargained on them forming the governing party in Gaza.

Great to discuss real just matters ✅ The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law.

Great video Nomiki! I took a break from watching this channel in the run up to the election because even though I understand why you thought it was so important watching videos encouraging people to vote for Joe Biden didn't appeal to me. Very happy that now we can go back to talking about important issues like supporting our Palestinian comrades in their struggle!

[@tmsphere]

Thank you for this interview Nomiki. israel is the biggest recipient of US foreign aid & most of it goes towards israeli military industry, & those weapons dont only kill Palestinians but are sold to the Philipines & Ethiopia & South Sudan & Libya etc etc

2 state solution is difficult when one side is lead by religious fanatics and the other side is steeped in revenge for murdered family members. This will be the last place on earth in the distant future to find true peace after the majority of humanity has spiritually disavowed racism.

[@rgzhaffie]

They haven't clarified what they're really after with BDS. There are no unambiguous conditions for lifting the boycott, for example. How can that ever work?? It'll never get the traction that the anti-apartheid movement did without more coherent goals.
