Thank you for your insightful analysis of this division on the left. We have experienced this problem in our work here on the border. It's mind boggling when a lifelong activist who is incidentally lesbian (and those who stand with her) are told that they are "f-ing racist a--holes" and removed from activist organizations.

Thin ice here David. You have exposed the tactics but nominated a hard node to take on. As a chess player in the 'game' of politics (although I am fully aware that politics is more than a game) your defensive mode is the best strategy. Let the opponent fall victim to its own strategic flaws which you have exposed brilliantly. (ie: don't expose your queen). Take care comrade. PS. Have you thought of approaching the European branch of ANTIFA and getting them to lay off. Or at least presenting your position ?

Another thought - do a probe as to how ANTIFA views Palestine. If there is denial that the treatment of Palestinians is the effect of a crypto-fascist Israeli State - *there* exists the possibility of a Queen side counterattack.

Saludos comrade

Here in Australia the Greens are holding the government accountable for the housing crisis - although I guess Carmela has you well informed on this. All good here. We are looking forward to the spring harvest from Mari's garden.

Un Abrazo fuerte Warwick and Mari.

PS: I should have rephrased that as a 'counterattack'.
