Clarifying remarks on the results of R01 Several clauses in its provisions that a portion of delegates in DSA disapproved of. The first "be it resolved clause" has an unclear, chauvinistic message, claiming that DSA would reject the "right to exist' of any state self conceived in racial or theocratic terms, or otherwise premised on the perpetual political demographic supremacy of one ethnic or religious group over another. This line has been argued to be an excuse that follows the common right-wing racist punchline that Arab and/or Islamic majority countries (and an eventual free Palestine) are theocratic dictatorships that deserve contempt instead of a response to growing threat of US imperialism and violence. Clarifying remarks on the results of R01 An amendment to the resolution would have changed this clause, to mention instead that DSA rejects "any settler-colonial state, meaning any state premised on the displacement or dispossession of the indigenous population and the enforced political supremacy of the settler population." This amendment failed very narrowly, which is the main reason why those who are fully in support of Palestinian self- determination and resistance chose to vote down the original, unamended resolution, rather than force a resolution that did not truly represent the vision of the organization. We continue to stand in solidarity with our palestinian comrades Are you interested in organizing towards Palestinian liberation? Join our ongoing efforts to establish a divestment campaign Are you a youth or student? Join our local ydsa branches in their ongoing divestment and pressure campaigns to get our local universties to stop funding genocide
