DSA Statement on the Islamic State and the Crisis in Iraq and Syria

By Democratic Socialists of America

The bombing by the U.S. and its “allies” must stop, as must the threat of further military escalation. Bombing is a blunt, indiscriminate tactic that kills innocent civilians and often drives innocent bystanders to support the very foes we bomb.
