Home to Zion

 

About ten years ago, I was reamed out by a supporter of the U.S. Socialist Workers Party at one of Amazon´s review pages when I criticized the SWP´s anti-Zionism and support for the PLO. Sure wonder what happened to the old comrade, since the party´s current stance is...well, almost the exact opposite of what it was back in the days! 

Indeed, it´s even implied in the articles below that the SWP supports the Israeli war effort and opposes a two-state solution (but you have to read them carefully to see this - or not so carefully in the third case linked below). It´s also interesting that they use the more in-your-face terms "Jew-hatred" and "Jew-hating" rather than the more usual "anti-Semitism" or "anti-Semitic".  

Now, I happen to think that the SWP is right to defend Israel´s right to exist, but I sure wonder how this squares with their "revolutionary Communist" stances on other issues, such as support for Cuba, North Korea and so on. And where is the never-ending resolution with the self-criticism of the past 50 years or so of staunch anti-Zionism? 

Next year in Jerusalem...
