2) It's a classic case of radical organisations being infiltrated by f##### liberals. Liberals are by definition counterrevolutionary imho.
3) The demonising of armed struggle or what I called it at a UN conference in Canberra "Armed Self Defense". That observation flung the Australian Foreign Minister into a meltdown 🙂 with him accusing me of "International relations 101", whatever TF that means 🙂. All the black delegates from Africa swamped me when we came off the podium. The ambassador to Madascar said to me: "I've been waiting all my life to hear a white dude say that!
When I turned up in occupied West Belfast in the early 1980's I was unsure of my position on the "Armed Struggle". It was a grandmother who convinced me that armed struggle was a duty & an obligation we had to make, we didn't have a genuine choice, someone had to protect our community from the occupying forces!
I had my own run-in with the IDF, I know how brutal they can be!
