Guys, stop being crap to creators. You aren’t hurting Amazon. You’re stealing from writers.
This is an extremely frustrating trend to watch happen. Indie writers already work so hard, and there's nothing they can do. Amazon doesn't give a damn, they profit either way.

If you are Israel & you kill 23,000 Palestinians in 3 months, the US will fund you, provide you diplomatic cover & unconditional military aid.
If you are Yemen & kill 0 people & block a shipping route to try to stop this mass murder, the US will drop 100 bombs on you.
Unreal.
Here are the 11 senators who backed Sanders's resolution:
if your senator is not on this list, call them and tell them you will be unable to vote for them again unless they change their actions.

This is MAJOR.
Since western media (especial American) are working overtime to suppress South Africa's hearing and Yemeni voices I want you to keep these 3 points in mind:
Yemen asked the West to stop aiding in the genocide of the Palestinian people and uphold international law. The West said no.
Then Yemen conducted sanctions and blockaded a sea bordering their nation to prevent the illegal sail of those funding and abetting genocide and did so nonviolently while upholding the very international law that West refused to uphold. The West bombed them.
Yeah.
I don’t think a lot of people understand either: Yemen is currently undergoing a massive humanitarian crisis. “80 percent of the country's population struggles to access food, safe drinking water and adequate health services” (source) They have been for a while now with very little help from western nations. For Yemen to impose sanctions when it is going through this is a testiment to what it means to sacrifice for what you believe in.
And I want to be very clear- Yemen should not have to do this. This genocide is on the Western Imperialist Nations committing and funding it. It is our responsibility as citizens of these Nations to look to Yemen to guide us in sacrificing for what we believe in.
Continue boycotting, continue contacting your representatives, continue protesting, continue spreading awareness, and if you haven’t done any of these things yet, it’s not too late to start.

As someone who volunteers at a refugee center that specifically serves middle eastern refugees, and is the daughter of an immigrant Iraqi woman: exactly this. Arabs are routinely accused of being terrorists, but it’s Arab countries that are practically getting eradicated every single day. This has been happening over and over, and it’s getting extremely tired that it slides every time. And yet Biden has said with his whole chest that there would be more US-UK airstrikes on Yemen incoming. Fucking insane that anti-Arab racism gets a world stage & everyone’s just okay with it. Ceasefire now.
