A literal who's-who of American Marxist-Progressive groups is working with terrorist groups like Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and other anti-Israel and anti American groups since at least 2007. A series of seemingly unconnected events has led us to the riots we are seeing breaking out all over the Middle East. How do these leftist groups like Code Pink and Progressive Democrats of America fit into all of this? Read on.

The Gaza Flotilla incident, which would really be more aptly called the Hamas Flotilla incident, needs to be viewed from a wider perspective to be more fully understood and appreciated for what it represents – A Marxist-Progressive Jihad on Israel, and by proxy, the United States, wherein the American Progressive Left is engaged in an open and working relationship with Islamist radicals.
The Hamas Flotilla action was not an isolated event. It was but the latest in a carefully programmed series of actions that have been taking place since Hamas took over the Gaza Strip in a violent coup in 2007, designed by community organizations that have been operating in the region since at least the mid-1990s.
The umbrella organization of this recent series of actions is called the Free Gaza Movement, and represents several international organizations, as well as many prominent American Progressive organizations.
The international organizations include George Galloway’s Viva Palestina, IHH, and the International Solidarity Movement (ISM).
The American Progressive community is organized against Israel under the banner of the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation.
The US Campaign to end the Israeli Occupation is a co-production of Global Exchange/CodePink/United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) (All founded by Medea Benjamin), and a group called the Center for Economic and Social Rights (CESR).
The Center for Economic and Social Rights (CESR) has been organizing on the ground in Palestinian territories since 1996.
One of the mainstream Progressive organizations that has pledged its support to this anti-Israel movement is the Progressive Democrats of America, a group organized by Rep. Maxine Waters, Rep. Lynn Woolsey, Rep. Barbara Lee, Rep. John Conyers, Rep. Donna Edwards, Tom Hayden (founder of SDS), and Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans of Global Exchange/CodePink.
