You do realise you're promoting a Zionist outfit right?

Example article of this being the case.

Do you support the call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I wish there was a ceasefire and that they could find peace.

How does this square with not just supporting but promoting an organisation that is opposed to that?

Which organization that I am supporting is against peace in the middle east?

Don't be coy. You know very well I'm speaking about the US SWP. Here is a quote from an April 29 article in The Militant:

The greatest danger to Jews and all the oppressed in the region and worldwide is the call for a ceasefire before Hamas has been defeated and its leadership and command structures demolished.

I ask again, do you support an immediate ceasefire? If so how does that square with your ongoing support and promotion of an organisation, the US SWP, that is opposed to an immediate ceasefire?

The question is not whether you support 'peace in the Middle East' or whether an organisation whose articles you share and whose election campaign you promote supposedly supports 'peace in the Middle East' so please try answering the question posed above directly.

And I said yes I do, but I still want Hamas defeated. And in a non-violent way, tho that is very unrealistic in today's world.

If so how does that square with your ongoing support and promotion of an organisation, the US SWP, that is opposed to an immediate ceasefire?

Because I think the good things they do outweigh the disagreements I have with them. Now you may not, and that is totally your right.

But it's my right to have my own opinions as well. Even if they differ from yours.

Just like many people who are voting for Harris, even tho they disagree with her on the current political problems and Hamas.

I like the SWP, and I am voting SWP. It's that simple.
