I feel for them, but there’s not much I can do. I voted for parties who don’t support zionists and don’t support genocide, but they got very few seats. And with the US incessantly sending the zionists arms to continue the slaughter, non-USAmericans can do quite little.

Boycotts. Don’t go after the politicians directly, go after their constituents.

Along with the boycott, you can also contact Representatives and donate to aid organizations (if you live comfortably enough to have that means)

https://www.mobilize.us/nab/ is a good resource to find nearby events or call reps

https://ceasefire-now.com/ is a good resource to email representatives

see a ‘product of zionist colony’ note on a product at the supermarket? throw it out of the fridge/freezer, slash the package, steal it. fuck your local grocery store for being complicit in genocide.

let your congressghouls know that you’ll be donating to their most viable opposition if they don’t propose serious military action (or at least a blockade) agaisnt zionism.

vandalize zionist products you see in your daily life. or steal them. spit and scream at zionists. write a paper letter to your congressghoul and say you’ll donate a thousand dollars to the first candidate who proposes a blockade or revenge for the americans killed, no questions asked, and knock on doors for your biggest opponent if you don’t get on that shit quick.

its not enough. I literally cannot propose doing enough here, not that it’s practical. but its more than nothing. more than you’re doing now.

Yeah, after John Oliver’s segment on the West Bank, covering Hebron, price tag killings, the settlement shenanigans and the treatment of Palestinians by local Israelis, my soul was crushed.

It turns out my society’s criticism of the German Reich and its mass purge / genocide machine is not what it did to human beings but who was included among the Lebensunwertes Leben.

Considering how soon after WWII it became British and Israeli policy to displace less-favored persons with more-favored colonists, Europe and the US seems to have learned nothing at all from the affair.

And you know what they say about those who fail to learn from history.

The Nazis were very open about who inspired them.

It was America’s treatment of the mentally ill, the genocide of Natives, race based slavery, and just overall LGBTQ treatment.

It wasn’t a secret at the time, but it’s rarely taught these days.

American and the allies didn’t fight because of what Germany was doing to people, it was because they were invading other countries with no signs of stopping.

Hell, the guy that essentially won the war for the allies was chemically castrated for being gay by England,after the war was over and he was a global hero

If you think WW2 was about human rights, you’ve been misinformed

No, I thought the Never Again promise was about human rights. And I was misinformed about that as well.

It also raises challenge to the notion of legitimate claim (of anyone to anything), since any of us can be unpersoned by whatever entity has the greatest war machine. It also eliminates even the possibility of government by consent. No one can consent to anything so long as someone is threatening them since that threat is a compelling factor.

Something to think about as we move closer to the development of technologies that can command and organize killer drones by the millions.

Israeli Zionists will tell you with a straight face that Never Again was only applicable to the Jewish people. Everyone else is fair game.

I mean kinda.

The people who-care about others of the world are not the ones with power to do anything about it.

Everyone is starting to get it bad as the world sorta shifts and mangles itself into its new form but it will definitely be an uneven and unfair split of agony.

The best bet is to simply get moving locally and make the specific commections needed to keep going but it’s a shame cause the internet was a great forum for connecting way outside your usual limited reach it just doesn’t really help anymore, and the gates are closed.

I know it is a shitty choice, but a lot of us are busy trying to prevent the (next) genocide in the US if trump wins. Which, yeah, means supporting the other party that supports Israel. At least they’ve ‘condemned’ them but the average person can’t do much to stop the military industrial complex from churning. Unlike the unhinged ml/hex users, many realize reality dictates supporting Democrats right now despite their lack of support for ending the mass murder of Palestinians. So yeah, I’m selfishly attempting protecting myself and the society that directly affects me.

The delusion is breathtaking.

You really think of yourself as some kind of pragmatic freedom-fighter eh?

How many presidential election cycles in a row have you allowed yourself to be herded into supporting Raytheon, General Dynamics, and Lockheed Martin whores with a D next to their name? When will a genocide that they are pushing for (and the clearly false pretenses for that genocide that they continue to cling to) be too much for you?

I’d bet on never because you have to vote blue no matter who, right?
