Based on unsubstantiated claims that Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network is fundraising for Palestinian resistance fighters, the US and Canada have sanctioned the organization. This is an attack on the entire Palestinian liberation movement. While the US government supports the Zionist genocide with billions of dollars in military aid, in defiance of popular opinion, they declare Samidoun’s alleged donations to be “terrorism.”
The movement for Palestine is unprecedented in its radicalization of wide layers of society. But there are many demoralizing factors, from unending news of the genocide to vicious state repression. How do we make the movement stronger? The solution is democracy: building engaged membership in democratic organizations, training them as organizers themselves, and making them active participants in the struggle.
The global wave of Gaza solidarity encampments has reinvigorated the Palestine liberation movement and made undeniable ideological advances, but failed to win many material gains. A sober analysis of the student movement’s strengths and weaknesses provides important lessons for the struggle against Zionism, imperialism, and capitalism.
