These was an extensive controversy on Anarkismo over one small section of the FdCA statement on Gaza. This thread preserves the discussion of this which has been moved from the original thread as its no longer relevant to that thread.
Re-wording of statement
The statement originally published contained a grave error in wording and, while it was a minor part of the statement as a whole, gave rise to some controversy. This error has now been rectified.

The paragraph which was changed originally read
"As far as the USA is concerned, there is no doubt. Apart from the important strategic and territorial alliance that Israel represents for American imperialism in the Middle East, it also has to deal with the powerful US Jewish economic lobby, which is strong enough to bring about a stong influence on US foreign policy. And what is happening today comes across as a clear warning to the president-elect, Obama."
In the corrected version of the statement (see
http://www.anarkismo.net/article/11133 ) it reads
"Apart from the important strategic and territorial alliance that Israel represents for American imperialism in the Middle East, it also has to deal with the powerful US pro-Israel lobby, which is strong enough to bring about a strong influence on US foreign policy. And what is happening today comes across as a clear warning to the president-elect, Obama."
The comments below are obviously the discussion on the first version.
