Ya definitely don't want Trump to win either. Ideally Biden ends up deciding Israel isn't worth losing an election over, stops supporting them, and then crushes Trump with the same or more youth votes he got in 2020. Probably with the help of weed legislation, too, but not sure if the young people care about that as much as they used to when I was in the "youth" lol.

I might go get the stuff to make one of those myself. I was just about to make a trip to the liquor store and have been feeling like a Paper Plane lately.

It's hot as hell where I am, though. I wish it was raining lol.

Tbh, I had always thought Tank Man was run over until extremely recently (like this year) so I'm sure there are lots of people like me who had just assumed that. I remember seeing a picture with red circles over all the supposedly dead bodies that had been run over by tanks. It's still an impressive image, a single man bravely stopping a tank, but not quite what I thought I was looking at.

It seems like if you'd take it's net impact throughout world history and it added it all up, you'd end up in the negatives. Like it's been actively more bad for the human race than good.

Or they're trying to pressure the acting President to change an immoral policy with the threat of lost votes so that he obeys his constituency like he's in a democracy. He's got plenty of time to change course and it's already caused him to make some small measures, like changing his rhetoric and pausing a weapon shipment once.

Right, but there have been settlers in West Bank. They're still Palestinians being harmed. And life in Gaza isn't sunshine and roses for most Palestinians, either.

And the slowly encroaching settler attacks, blockade, and occupation was just what? A special military operation?

And a lot of people don't want to compromise on genocide. I think that's pretty understandable.

You can't be in the left and support the status quo, especially if the status quo is leading to a genocide. Pro-genocide solidarity isn't acceptable. Sitting there and accepting it isn't acceptable.

Exploding heads, too, but everyone defederated from that.

It's called pressure to force him to make change. He's got plenty of time to not support a genocide before November.

Thanks for the explanation! Was wondering what the hell was going on, too.

And if you can convince someone else to watch it with you, even better! Unfortunately, it's so hard to get my partner to watch new shows and movies lol.

I think there was crazy inflation in some countries during the Arab Spring, too. Which also makes it hard to get food.

But with that logic, my friends have the right to go to Italy and Ireland, kick out native Italians and Irish and take their houses, because they're Italian-American or Irish-American. That's not how it works or how it should work. Its the same reason I wouldn't have supported the Liberia project of having African-Americans go back to Africa and kick out and oppress the natives just because they were mistreated in the US, if I was alive at the time. It led to centuries of indigenous oppression and civil wars, like Israel and Palestine nowadays. We shouldn't be looking to imitate that level of colonial superiority anywhere else.

Hopefully the Windows debacle and abortion and Palestinian resistance issues in the US remind people why privacy is important.

Hopefully they feel vindicated when everyone sanctions Isreal.

Talking to these people while pretending to be Christian conservatives or racists seems like the best way to catch them out. Smart of the documentary film maker.

It sounds like the opposite. Do you even know what Zionism is? It's calling for a place Jews from all over the world can go via. They bring in people from all over the world, lots of them have dual citizenships. Because Jewish people can trace genealogic origins there from thousands of years ago doesn't make some lady from Europe or New York the same as some local Palestinian kid at all. They then kick out the natives and give their homes to these settlers. They've been doing it since the 40's. People can look over the wall and see where they, their parents, or their grandparents used to live.

I recommend looking up the history of Zionism, including the European Jews that forwarded it, like Theodore Herzl, and the different places they considered for it (Uganda,Argentina, Cyprus, etc) before settling on Palestine.

A map and basic understanding of indigenous resistance.
