A gathering of Muslim commies in Tunisia

Tunisian lefties and Palestinians go at each other's throats. Tunisian lefties show more sense than the violent Palestinians.  Pallies want armed resistance, Tunisians vandalize the Gaza photo exhibit and tear down their Khomeini portrait.  I guess there are some lefties who can actually think, still around in some parts of the world ... although not here in the West.
Al-Nahda is the leftish party in Tunisia and it is heavily divided.  Qatar and Saudi Arabia have managed to fund and infiltrate Al-Nahda and the lefties who are secular find themselves pitting against other comrades in their own party  who want to remain loyal to their masters in Qatar and Saudi Arabia.  Quite the conundrum.

From Al AkhbarEnglish:
....  While a “Free Palestine” was a uniting goal,  people differed on how to reach that goal.

A vocal group of Palestinian youth calling for armed resistance was cringed upon by the Abu Mazen authority representatives inside the “official” Palestine tent. Tunisian communists took offense at the presence of a banner portraying Khomeini at a Gaza photo exhibit and vandalized it. The latter incident was partly motivated by solidarity with the Iranian left, which is largely oppressed by the Islamic republic, but also a result of the built up contempt Tunisian left have against their own Islamist rivals in al-Nahda.

“Jihad is in Palestine, You Religious Clerks!” That was the chanted charge often levied by the Tunisian Leftist Popular Front against Islamist forces and their calls for jihad in Syria. Tunisian jihadists in Syria was a dominant topic on Tunisian talk radio as news came out of a fatwa calling for women to take part in the jihad as sex servants. The veracity of this particular fatwa was contested, but the tensions between the Tunisian Left and Tunisian Islamists on Syria run high. Al-Nahda’s ties to Qatar, and by extension the Syrian opposition, shape much of the Left’s position.

But beyond Tunisia, Syria is still a very contentious issue in the Left. The anti-Imperialism versus anti-Oppression argument is still the dominant one and has not evolved much after two years into the crisis. A stand by the Global Campaign of Solidarity with the Syrian Revolution invited many questions about the revolutionary credentials of Syria’s rebels along with the wrath of many pro-Assadists. Many of the debates were heated, but the frequent visits by a disruptive group of self-professed “Shabiha forever” escalated the debates to confrontations, the last of which on Friday resulted in the beating of five solidarity campaigners and the destruction of their stand..........
