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...

tl;dr: AFL-CIO was neutralized and co-opted for anti-communist and anti-national liberation means by the U.S.A's C.I.A....

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
