i think several of us said the exact same thing that chris did, only we
didn't couch it in "anti-imperialist" terms. of course, neither did chris,
but it was close enough that you actually listened to what he said.

my position on palistine is exactly like chris', only is see the root causes
and issues in only a very slightly different way. and that the position
chris puts forward is but a "stepping stone", a reform, that would likely
better the situation for many palestinians. however, i confirm, like chris,
that nothing short of global revolution will actually solve the issue. this
last point is the only part that we "ultra-leftists" have been trying to get
accorss all along...
