I'm not sure why they are... I think it might have to do with the conflation of anti-war and being pro-Russia. You can condemn Russia and also understand that when there's a war, it's the working class who pays the price. I can't help but feel a little disappointed, honestly. It's like we learned nothing from the endless wars in the Middle East.

Have you heard of the Party for Socialism and Liberation? They have an anti-war coalition and some members are currently on the ground in East Palestine to interview people who are affected. Idk if they would want to talk, it would depend on who you write for, but it can't hurt to reach out to them as they're also trying to spread the word.
