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.
This specic post October attack Israeli incursion, genocide and massive land grab will be Joe Biden's legacy. Nothing he did or will do will shine a candle light on this.
Was listening to the Oct 7th episode of the Majority Report as they spoke with Ilan Pappé and they discussed how just as Biden got into Washington he was replacing a guy on certain committees that was driven out of politics by the Israel lobby for daring to write a report on Israeli direct and illegal funding of US politicians and trying to have a public enquiry on it. Biden learned a very important lesson, by a Zionist or the Zionists will fund a smear campaign against you.
