Not to mention the fact that David Duke is no doubt an advocate of a "White
Australia" policy and would gladly make common cause with those seeking to
expel immigrants and nonwhites generally (Palestinians most certainly among
them) from Australia.

Macdonald Stainsby's question about whether Bill Weller would be offended by
anti-white comments from blacks would be a fair question in some other
contexts, but here it clearly constitutes a dodge of the issue.  And the
issue is the presence of fascists who will attempt to latch on to our
movement -- not just the Palestinian solidarity movement, but many others,
too.  In this connection, note that on Saturday several members of the
so-called "New Black Panther Party" attempted to disrupt the rally for
Palestine by shouting anti-Semitic slogans and calling for "holy war" next
to a picture of Saddam Hussein (according to eyewitness participants in the
demonstration -- according to media accounts, it was a picture of Osama Bin
Laden).  By all accounts they were quickly reined in by the vast majority of
people at the demonstration, especially including Arabs and Arab-Americans.
None of the other African-Americans at the demonstration wanted anything to
do with the fascistic "New BPP," either.  Just because they're black
shouldn't stop us from calling them what they are: provocateurs who --
intentionally or not -- objectively aid the enemy.
