Sigh and aargh. The Leninists and Solidarity With Hamas, Al-Aqsa Brigades and Islamic Jihadists here (can you tell I've had too much coffee!) must have me in their kill files. Over the years I've shedded alot of my instinctive Zionism (read too many texts on the Holocaust) by talking with the more reasonable activists for Palestine solidarity and reading, natch. And, then I read Chris Kromm, who helps to put out the fine Southern Exposure magazine and who I see on antiwar.com occasionally, say that Southerners support armed resistance. In historical contexts like El Salvador or Nicaragua, I hadlittle difficulty seeing the unfortunate necessity of confrontiing those US supported death squad states under the banners and rifles of the FSLN and FMLN. Though, I still do worry about the political consequences over the long term of armed struggle which accentuates authoritarian personalities on the left and reinforces counter-revolutionary goons on the right.
Back to Chriss and his Southerners Stand In Solidarity With the Al-Aqsa Brigades...Does he really think that a two state solution or a secular democratic state or whatevah "dispwnsation" eventually gets imposed, on both fucking parties to the conflict, will eventuate using those methods? Or will, Israeli public opinion shift further right, throw out Sharon (typed Shamir, at first) to bring back the even more ferociusly effective Netanyahoooooooooo!
It's weak argumentation that pushes folks like me back towards being more aligned against the more extreme pro-Palestinian positions. Seeing the disaster that right-wing and Labour Zionism has created but unable and unwilling to embrace, w/o reservations the other narrative.
