Since most of the Palestinians are part of the international proletariat and Israel is oppressing them through imperialism, their armed struggle against Israel is just and progressive. Of course, most Trotskyists wouldn't be too enthusiastic about Hamas's other positions, but Trotskyists would dismiss objections to supporting them as "ultra-leftist." Once Hamas succeeds in its "liberation struggle," Marxist-Leninists in power in advanced countries are supposed to woo the Palestinians into a socialist revolution (since the bourgeoisie in Israel allegedly wants the Palestinians to stay socially backward). Nobody will say any of this in official publications, but it's the sort of stuff upper level party members would discuss.<br /><br />I'm guessing the SWP realized that Hamas getting more power wouldn't make anyone more receptive to Trotskyism. :-PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933989669578378236noreply@blogger.com
