The leaflet "With Trump taking office, continue the fight against white supremacy!" has an entire section entitled "The need for an independent movement". What it does not have is the list of special formulations and Trotskyist shibboleths you insist must be in our leaflet in order for it have any legitimacy. What a sectarian attitude you have to communist activists! > > Communist Voice includes its anti-Hamas supplication cataloging the > victims of > October 7th but does not mention the Lancet estimate of the near > 200,000 killed > in Gaza nor identify the targeting of women, children, journalists, > medical > workers and first responders." The leaflet writes that "On its part, Israel has responded with Nazi style collective punishment of the entire Palestinian people, which during the past 15 months has become genocidal." And it elaborates on this and on the establishment of the Israeli apartheid state being the cause of the problem. But, like a true apologist for Hamas, you imply that anyone denouncing its atrocities and bankrupt tactics and strategy isn't a real opponent of Isreali genocide. It doesn't matter to you, as it doesn't to any sectarian, that we place emphasize on support for the Palestinian people. You have some articles of your own on Palestine in "Charles' Newsletter" https://charlesrachlis.substack.com/p/for-palestinian-liberation-by-permanent. They call for a socialist Palestine, for world socialist revolution, for socialist revolution throughout MENA (Middle East and North Africa). And at the same time, you oppose a leaflet which vigorously supports the Palestinian people while opposing Hamas's deadend and atrocious politics. This is sectarianism again.
