    …I didn’t stop

    Its main geopolitical objective in relation to the Palestinians is not to liberate them, but to use them as leverage, particularly in its relations with the United States.

    What relations? Iran and the burger empire don’t have relations.

    Iran’s passive response to Israel’s assassination of Nasrallah, decimation of Hezbollah’s cadres, and its brutal war against Lebanon demonstrate that its first priority is protecting itself and its interests. It was not willing to sacrifice these and come to the defense of its key non-state ally.

    No. Reactionaries such as yourself just have no understanding of pragmatism.

    On top of that the regime has repeatedly repressed Palestinians in Syria, including the killing of several thousands of them since 2011, laying waste to the Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus.

    Yarmouk happened due to conflict with ISIS and other extremist forces. A direct result of Amerikkkan meddling in the region. It was not repression by the regime. You’re a sack of shit spinster.

    Given this history, it is a mistake for the Palestine solidarity movement to defend and align itself with imperialist or sub-imperialist states that put their interests before solidarity with Palestine, compete for geopolitical gain, and exploit their countries’ workers and resources.

    Everything I don’t like is imperialism!

    But it makes no sense to look reactionary regional powers and other imperialist states like Russia or China as allies of Palestine or its solidarity movement. There is simply no evidence to substantiate that position. To choose one imperialism over another is to guarantee the stability of the capitalist system and the exploitation of popular classes. Similarly, to support authoritarian and despotic regimes in pursuit of the objective of liberating Palestine is not only morally wrong but also has proved itself a failed strategy.

    There will never be a perfect enough movement for you so therefore Palestinians must suffer indefinitely, right?

    The main task of the Palestine solidarity movement, particularly in the West, is to denounce the complicit role of our ruling classes in supporting not only the racist settler-colonial apartheid state of Israel and its genocidal war against the Palestinians, but also Israel’s attacks on other countries in the region such as Lebanon. The movement must pressure those ruling classes to break off any political, economic, and military relations with Tel Aviv.

    Oh great. So it’s the white man’s burden to liberate Palestine. You racist, idealist, piece of shit.

    Only the self-organization of popular classes fighting for democratic and progressive demands will create that space and open a path toward actual liberation.

    Class reductionism. Sorry, but the primary contradiction in West Asia is Amerikkkan imperialism.

    To advance such demands, that progressive bloc will have to build and rebuild popular organizations from unions to feminist organizations, community organizations, and national structures to bring them together.

    The “progressive block” in this conflict is the regime that was just toppled. And it wasn’t very progressive. So uh, good luck with all that…

    There’s some more nonsense about “Arab chauvinism” against Rojava and then some both-sidesing of Rojava, but I don’t have enough knowledge of this to add anything useful.
