Jump To Comment: 1 2to answer to pueblo, the ra are not freedom fighters, they control local areas giving locals no say, no choice. they take away from freedom, take away from justice and create more inequality. if this is the idea, a romanticised idealised view, that poeple see the ra in the south then you are much mistaken. to even suggest that they should give their weapons to the palestinians is luducrous. firstly: what are you on about? logistical nightmare. secondly: the ra needs their guns to keep shooting kids in the knees, ancles and legs, if they dont do as they are told.

Terrorists tactics places no faith in the masses, instead it says to oppressed people, "don't bother yourselves, we''ve the guns we'll sort it out". This is of course totally against the approach taken by Socialists. This attitude of SF haspersisted in their approach to politics in the south. They see SF as being the community and the people's only role is as voting fodder come election time.

THe capitalist, corrupt and bureacratic Palestinian Authority can't bring a genuine national liberation movement.

* A genuine democratic national liberation movement for Palestine.
* An independent socialist Palestine alongside a socilaist Israel.
