chefs-kiss well said. With that in mind, the shit article does make me more curious about the work of the scant ceasefire factions in the belly of the Israeli beast in addition to how the united front of the palestinian liberation factions came together, how they work together, and what their separate and collective goals are. Sounds like an educational opportunity.

    My opinion on their work is that they are so hamstrung by being inside the fascist monster itself that they have to be very very careful about what they say and how they act else they will be simply crushed by the state. If they openly took a position against Israel they would all go to jail in a heartbeat, so they instead take up positions that are things like "save the hostages" and the like, anything that could convince other Israelis to pressure the state. They're in a very difficult position balancing going to jail against some sort of "popular" line surrounded by a population that is awfully radicalised to the far right by 70 years of fascist rule.

    Yeah they're worse off than the communist movement in Korea, in my opinion. They not only have to be very careful with their words to avoid being stomped out by the State, but even then they are in danger from being assaulted brutally just for holding the most milquetoast opinions. I genuinely do not envy them and hope they can gain successes in their work no matter how limited it may seem.
