Jeff said: Most of Ken's comments were welcome, but the following segment has left me rather confused: > The question of our relationship with one strand of right- wing > "anti-Zionism" was posed sharply at the AGM of the Palestine Solidarity > Campaign in the UK at the beginning of 2012. > > http://site.lalkar.org/article/566/palestinesolidarity-movement-on-the-defensive-as-agm-votes-for-zionist-formulations > The meeting voted to endorse a paragraph that the PSC executive had > recently added to the campaign website stating that ?Any expression of > racism or intolerance, or attempts to deny or minimise the Holocaust have > no place in our movement. Such sentiments are abhorrent in their own right > and can only detract from the building of a strong movement in support of > the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people.? (My emphasis)` Ken Hiebert replies: Jeff is quite right. I left him and others wondering what I make of this. I made the classic mistake of assuming that others would know what I was thinking. I've done this before and will probably do it again as my messages are sometimes overly cryptic. I share Tony Greenstein's view. http://azvsas.blogspot.ca/2012/01/psc-agm-crushing-defeat-for-gilad.html I believe the PSC did the right thing in expelling an avowed Holocaust denier. I included the link to the CPGB M-L article because it included he wording of the resolution and because anything I said could not arouse as much opposition to the CPGB M-L as their own words will. _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
