I think it’s a good statement, short and to the point. The replies are absolute poison though, hasbara bots really honing in on them. Feds will try and make something stick but it doesn’t sound like he was even a member.

    Aren’t they saying, “that’s not our guy” and “we don’t support adventurism”? Organized armed resistance is very different from an unaffiliated rando assassinating Israeli functionaries in this way. The action isn’t even unambiguously directed at the state of Israel or Zionism. What would be the benefit of supporting it at all?

      Pretty much this. This guy wasn’t a Hamas fighter blowing up an IDF tank, he was a random person who targeted two other random people.

        How would claiming a guy who wasn’t acting on behalf of the party benefit the PSL? or advance their anti genocide agenda?

        I’m not shedding any tears over the dead Israelis.

        Individual action is better than no action

        PSL doesn’t support adventurism, from their perspective individual action is specifically not effective. They’re interested in organizing a mass revolutionary movement, getting tangled in a random person’s mess doesn’t advance their agenda. You’re obviously free to disagree though!

            The tragedy of these individual actions isn’t the actions, it’s that they didn’t have a hundred comrades at their side while they (allegedly) did them.

            That’s the difference between adventurism and organized armed resistance! When you’re organized and militant, the comrades are right there with you by design and the impact can be much greater.
