[edit] Carol Moore and the Weekly Action Group
The group also organized two protests outside the Israeli ambassador's home during Israel's attack on Lebanon. After some DAWN participants criticized the Weekly Action Group's chants and tactics, some members left to form a separate group.
This is not WP:NPOV and it's a violation of WP:Attribution, and it also uses WP:Avoid weasel words - this comment was added to the article by Carol Moore, who (and I'm sure she'll agree with this) was the primary person to complain about the Weekly Action Group. Carol is a longtime DAWN member who represents an old, white, racist element of the left - and the WAG repeatedly called out her statements, behaviors, and emails as racist, a claim which she rejected. I ended up proposing at a meeting that Carol be removed from DAWN, and the failure of that proposal is what caused many - including myself - to withdraw from DAWN.
I'd prefer that wikipedia not become the place for the now long-standing dispute with Carol to resolve itself, so for now, I'd ask that the text about why the WAG members left the group either be clarified and backed with a citation of a reputable source, or removed.
