The far-left Democratic Socialists of America movement launched a “national program” this week that backs the Palestinian “right to resist,” and calls for drastic changes to US governance.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the home base of leftists like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The movement has won a string of election victories in recent weeks, upsetting incumbents in New York and Colorado.

The DSA announced on Tuesday its national program, called “Workers Deserve More,” calling the outline the movement’s “political vision.”

The program demands the Palestinian “right of return,” which calls for every Palestinian refugee and their descendants, now numbering  in the millions, to move into Israeli territory.

Critics say the right of return has no legal basis, is not granted to any other refugee group, and would effectively end Israel’s existence as a Jewish-majority state.

The DSA’s program also recognizes the Palestinian “right to resist military occupation” and the “right to self determination in a free Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital.”
