Our support for Palestinian liberation struggles and the BDS movement must be unwavering. DSA must be a principled force for it and not let proximity to power influence this commitment, nor any other. We urge the NPC to reverse their decision and reinstate the BDS WG and its SC.

DSA Emerge condemns bad-faith attacks against Sunday's Palestine rally which aim to undermine calls for justice. We stand in solidarity with Palestinians struggling for liberation and allied orgs fighting against US-backing of military occupation, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing.
On Sunday, Oct 8th, thousands gathered in Times Square to stand in solidarity with Palestine. As the organizers of this protest, here is our statement in response to the multiple attacks & critiques. We affirm our right to gather, rally, and protest in defense of Palestine.

We refuse the notion that rejecting Zionism in our ranks is sectarian. It is our fair weather Palestine solidarity and the consequent boycotts by the street movements that threatens to make DSA a marginal isolated player on the stage of historic struggle

Over the past few years, DSA has grown into a mass org, and with this has come internal contradictions and conflict. It will only be through collective political struggle that we can work towards our socialist aims for an anti-racist, anti-imperialist, internationalist movement.

We need a new antiwar movement. No to war in Iran. Support Iraqi self determination. US out of the Middle East. End racism and Islamophobia.
In opposing war on Iran, let's not return to:. * Opposing war based on legality rather than justice. * Liberal opposition rather than anti-imperialist resistance. * Focusing on costs of war for beneficiaries of empire, rather than human & material costs for those being occupied.

And while the Democratic Party is unquestionably an obstacle to class struggle in the US, replacing the Dems with a major socialist or labor party would not remove the pressures and limits that capital places on all parties.
