I agree with Max. My post concerns only the claim about ISO's "strong role" in Palestinian solidarity activism at _OSU_, as it doesn't even have a chapter at OSU or in Columbus (see <http://www.internationalsocialist.org/whatson.shtml>); it's not meant to diminish its work elsewhere.
The thing about OSU and Columbus is that while there are some socialists on campus and in the community (including yours truly), some of whom are affiliated with existing socialist organizations (mostly paper membership, as the number doesn't amount to a chapter), none has more than one or two members (DSA does have a chapter larger than other socialist orgs here, but it has been active in neither Palestinian solidarity activism nor the larger anti-war movement). Therefore, no particular socialist _organization_ is in a position to take credit for political activism here, even though some socialists, _as individuals_, have been doing a lot for many political causes. -- Yoshie
