Ordinarily, one would not necessarily think of the PFLP as having a lot of influence on people on the American left. But right now, when there is a many-sided Lord of the Flies leftist free-for-all on the meaning of Kobane and what, if anything, people should try to do about it, the fact that a bunch of Palestinian leftists are not primarily seeing Kobane through the lenses of "no war" and "stop the bombing" could prove very useful.
I think the tide is turning towards "save Kobane." Our petition at MoveOn now has 7,339 signatures.
