To my knowledge, the ANC before the fall of Apartheid and the
Sandinistas while their revolution lasted never went down to the low
of Fatah.  Can an organization that is supposed to be opposed to the
Israeli occupation take Tel Aviv's and Washington's support and
subvert the elected leadership of their own people and be still
considered "the left"?  If so, what does "the left" mean?  It really
means nothing, and we might as well give up meaningless terms like
that.
