DSA's national program includes Free Palestine as one of planks. We believe in recognizing the rights of the Palestinian people, including the right of return, the right to resist military occupation, and the right to self determination in a free Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital. We need to end all military and economic aid to Israel, and prosecute U.S. and Israeli leaders responsible for the genocide in Gaza.
LVDSA is an explicitly anti-Zionist chapter. Opposing Zionism means opposing the displacement, occupation and oppression of Palestinians and supporting their right to freedom and self-determination. We reject the idea that criticism of Zionism, the Israeli government, occupation, or the treatment of Palestinians is inherently antisemitic and condemn those who attempt to conflate the two. We oppose Zionism AND antisemitism, Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism.
