The Divisions in DSA
And why, after 48 years in the organization, I'm quitting.
The Democratic Socialists of America's initial reaction to Hamas's
murders of more than 1,200 Israelis, the vast majority of them
civilians, has brought a torrent of entirely merited criticism down upon
the group. Liberals and leftists who have long championed Palestinian
statehood and Israel's total withdrawal from the West Bank, and who
now oppose the obliteration of Gaza that Israel is threatening, found
DSA's promotion of what was effectively a pro-Hamas rally in Times
Square to be outrageous. They found the initial failure of DSA's
national political committee to condemn Hamas correspondingly repugnant.
That's also been the reaction of many DSA members, too. A number of
them have been debating publicly leaving the organization-largely,
older members, many of whom belonged to one of DSA's two predecessor
organizations, the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC) and
the New American Movement (NAM). Some have belonged to one of those
groups and then DSA for a full half-century.
I'm one of them.
