"cant boycott McDonald's because it's my comfort food"

"cant boycott Starbucks because it's convenient for me to eat breakfast there and I need my little treats uwu"

"cant boycott Eurovision because I like the music"

damn. cant do shit. almost like it means nothing to u

Shut the fuck up about this already.

Absolutely no one can use this claim anymore and expect to be taken seriously, not when hostage families are finding out that Hamas had literally offered to release all civilian hostages as early as October 9 but the government rejected that offer.

Not when Israeli ministers are saying that hostage deals throw war goals in the "trash" in order to save hostages.

Not when Netanyahu rejected one offer after another including in December of last year, while hostage families are in the same room begging him to take action.

Not when Netanyahu literally only yesterday said that his "war" will continue with or without a deal.

So shut the fuck up about the hostages. Israel does not give a flying fuck about the hostages so don't pretend this is about them. You have shown time and time again that you would rather let them starve to death and literally get killed than stop the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza.

Don't lose focus! Yes, the university campus protests are excellent, but remember WHY and WHAT they are protesting.

Satire blogs doing more than actual news outlets at this point

"well one genocide is better than xyz genocides" Have you ever considered that Palestinians are not your sacrificial lambs. have you ever considered we deserve to live just as much as you do

#zac oyama and Other Things That Ruined My Life: An Autobiography by kkrazy256

a lot of the coverage of the Palestinian genocide is focusing on the US student protests and the narrative is constantly in danger of shifting away from what the protests are actually about and a lot of the language is now speaking in terms of police brutality, silencing of free speech, etc. It's not a radical thing to say that this isn't exactly helpful to the Palestinian cause if the actual reasons for the protests aren't constantly front and center. A lot of people have already made this point. I do not think the genie can necessarily be put back in the bottle with how the protests and the police reaction to them are entering the public consciousness of the USian people. A lot of people are or will become aware of these protests through the lense of these simply being instances of police brutality, and police brutality is a critical issue that many USamericans are very passionate about thus making it difficult to reframe the context of these images of police slamming white professors into pavement towards awareness of Israels decades long illegal occupation and systematic and indiscriminate displacement and murder of Palestinians. What I feel needs to be done is try to reframe these images flooding the internet not *away* from issues of police brutality and homesoil fascism, but in the wider context of imperialist governments taking the lessons they learn oppressing "foreign peoples" and turning them inwards. That police brutality is not disconnected from imperialist mass murder. That the one thing connecting the assaulted USian protester and the trans israeli denied gender affirming care for refusing to serve in the fascist Israeli military and the Palestinian child buried alive for the crime of being Palestinian... the one thing connecting them is that, sooner or later, they are all victims of power. Our rights are granted to us inequitably, unevenly, and are just as quickly stripped away when we do not serve the interests of fascist power. We are either a tool of the state or an enemy of the state. The Palestinian, not the innocent or the guilty but the human being Palestinian, is murdered because she can not be useful to the state while she is still breathing. She can never have the "privilege" of being a tool. I'll say it again: We outside of Palestine who can go to protests, who have families, who are able bodied, who can work, who can keep their head down or speak without immediate retaliation have the "honor" of choosing to be a tool of the state or an enemy of the state. The Palestinian has no choice.

There will always be an armed cop ready to arrest you and kill your brother as long as there is a bomb ready to drop on the heads of Palestinian children. Fascism trickles up and inward.
