Literal “Friends of IDF” event happening in the Bay Area. Seeing the genocidal psychopaths in person was surreal.
But the masses are with Palestine. Incredible show of solidarity across religions, ethnicities, etc.

Some thoughts addressing those of us already sharing our pin about apartheid.
But that’s not enough. This doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
We must do more and push others around us to do more.

Really admire how people like Fukuyama have maintained their relevance while doing fuck all.
This piece is basically a monologue & a series of assertions with barely any data or examples (except one from 2009).
And great liberal washing of the IMF! 🔪

Can't explain how true this is. I grew up during the War on Terror in Pakistan, have studied the history of violence, gone through archives of brutal imagery from Bosnia/Rwanda/Cambodia.
But this. To watch a genocide happen live. To watch a genocide be cheered on.

It’s these kinds of people, who sadly happen to lead a whole ass department at Stanford (I mean it is Stanford so) that light fires while hiding behind their fluffy liberal rhetoric.
Just terrible and sad. Seen so many students fall for this because of the credentials/networks such people offer.

Rinse-repeat from the Empire. Disinfo psyops, dehumanize the oppressed, bomb the fuck out of them, use chemical weapons, distract people w/ continued media bias.
Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Laos, etc.
Every time people study this & build careers around it, only to champion it the next time.

everyone who has ever done palestine solidarity work knows one thing; we have literally tried fucking everything to make people hear and to acknowledge what is happening; we have begged, we have shouted, we have appealed, we have organized. The one thing we haven't and will never try is silence.

Gonna build on this:
1/ Most of the world seems to be deluded into thinking that they are going to half-ass their way through this. The usual suspects are tripping over themselves to suck up to Israel, while the others (incl. China, ME, Pakistan, etc.) are trying to stay neutral.

1/ Been asked by a number of people whether I think anything from the Palestinian side over the last 48 hours has been worth condemning. And it’s a question we (people of the GS generally) get asked every time we critique the Empire.
