What a terrible part of history we’re witnessing
Don’t merely witness. Join an organization and work against st this genocide.
Like what
Whichever ones are active at any local protests or actions. If none are, then a socialist organization that does not mince words about support for the resistance. If you are in college there are anti-imperialist orgs organized specifically by and for college students.
I would be more specific but it’s more important to find an active org with a good line on Palestine (e.g. one that opposes Harris, supports fighting against Israel) than it is to join one specific national org.
I read this and think there is nothing I as a normal person can do. Sure I write my elected officials to stop the genocide, to stop Israel from killing civilians. But what else can I do?
If the elected officials don’t want to listen then stop voting for them.
It’s a goddamn shame how evil the world is. And it’s incredibly sad that people become desensitized to it, but they do. Incremental improvement does very little for the present, but it’s the only feasible solution right now.
The alternative is to turn right wing and make everything exponentially worse. It’s incredibly sad that the people everywhere are powerless, but it’s a fact of life in the world right now.
Absolutely wrong. The implied “incremental improvement” option is the party doing this genocide. If you want to stop these things you need to help organize opposition to it.
Also please show some respect and stop using passive voice or like there is no blame or perpetrator. This is a propaganda tool of the genociders. The genocided, their deaths just happen, per this propaganda. You’re not meant to know where the JDAMs that bomb schools and hospitals come from. Don’t ask who makes them. Don’t ask who buys them. Don’t ask who supplies recon for them. Don’t ask who produces and sells and buys the planes that drop them. Don’t ask who gives this genocide diplomatic support, PR support, and tries to shove it down your throat as if you have no agency.
Don’t let your masters make you complicit in genocide. Name the actors. Blame them. And fight against them.
This situation is specific to the US, but because of the election, right now is the exact wrong time to be raising alarm bells and turning blame toward the Biden Administration. It’s not that they haven’t made mistakes; it’s that the alternative is so, so much worse. What’s happening is a tragedy, but it will only widen in scope and be replicated elsewhere if Trump takes office again.
right now is the exact wrong time to be raising alarm bells and turning blame toward the Biden Administration. It’s not that they haven’t made mistakes;
They haven’t made mistakes. What they are doing is deliberate. They are not some oafish giant who tripped and fell and flattened a section of Gaza. They are continuously supplying bombs of all kinds to a military committing the one of the most well-documented genocides in history.
What’s the correct schedule for blaming the material facilitator of a genocide for their actions, if you wouldn’t mind instructing us plebeians according to your enlightened timetables? Is it the two years following an election but not the two years beforehand?
Stop doing mental gymnastics for your blue fascist party, both parties are wings from the same bird.
