Protestors burn Israeli flag and altercations arise during Palestinian rally Oct. 8
“After the brutal terrorist attacks on Israel, which included the indiscriminate murder, rape, and kidnapping of innocent men, women, and children, I can no longer associate with an organization unwilling to call out terrorism in all its forms,” Thanedar, 68, said in a statement., promoted by the NYC-DSA, makes it impossible for me to continue my affiliation. I stand with Israel and its right to defend itself.
Despite cutting ties with the DSA, Thanedar insisted he will continue to champion key progressive objectives. “My ideals have not changed at all. I strongly believe that ending my association with DSA serves my constituents’ interests as they expect me to represent them by helping to build a better, more just world, not fanning the flames of hatred.”
Israel has responded to the atrocity by launching a days-long bombardment of the Gaza Strip in preparation for a ground invasion.
