In the Vancouver demonstration referenced by “Eby”, I see the chants were from a group called “ Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).”
Appears to be a known terrorist organization. Is this organization affiliated with ALL or most of the college campus organizers we see across the USA?
Something I’ll have to ask and bring up. Something smells odd.
In the second article, it references a group or network called “ Samidoun Prisoners Solidarity Network” which again appears to have links to PFLP. Maybe the fundraising and propaganda machine arm.
All sources indicate both orgs with ties to past violence but does that mean that these 2 orgs are tied to every college campus student org as well?
Nothing is quite clear here. Not enough information. Need some real journalists to clear the air.
I agree. These orgs and people are disgusting. But the gatherings and protests I have been to have not chanted anything of this sort. Not even a dog whistle as mentioned in some comments.
I’ll have to do more digging though. Thanks for providing some links though
- nsguy 3y agoI would have no problem with protests that clearly decouple themselves from the militant groups and clearly call for peace for everyone (ideally with some idea of how we actually get there). I would join those. My problem is I'm not seeing the decoupling and I'm not seeing calls for peace. I'm seeing calls to punish Israelis (from burn down Tel Aviv to divestment and boycott) which in my opinion does not help peace at all and definitely a militant tone associated with that.
