"Free Palestine" is NOT antisemitic, it is NOT hate speech, it is NOT a call to kill all Jewish Israelis
"Free Palestine" is a call for all Palestinians to have EQUAL HUMAN AND CIVIL RIGHTS to Jewish Israelis and to be FREE from persecution, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and GENOCIDE
ALL DECENT, HUMANE, MORAL PEOPLE should say, "Free Palestine"
The biggest lie America ever sold was that bad presidents are the problem.
As if the next one will cancel the wars, empty the cages, and dismantle the empire.
The problem is not one man.
It is a system that turns every man into the same thing once he sits in that chair.
Only the people can change the chair.
No one in it ever will.
This is Epic 🔥
🇺🇸 Marco Rubio: "UN needs to act. Iran violated international law by blocking Hormuz."
🇮🇷 Abbas Araghchi: "International law? Where was that when the US hit a school, blockaded Cuba, and grabbed Venezuela’s president?"
No one cook Marco Rubio better than him 👏
People avoid thinking like it's the plague. Take the criticism of China as being weak on Palestine for example.
I claim that it is shamefully weak, and hundreds of people are pushing back: you don't get it, the geopolitics, and the considerations (and maybe you are still a Zionist).
But say China decided to be a lot more assertive and aggressive on Palestine tomorrow morning, would the same people argue against this move, saying that China does not understand geopolitics and focuses on performative purity tests? Of course not. If that was what China Chose to do, the people who attack me would celebrate China as a brave global leader and freer of the human spirit, and so on.
And what if China had decided to focus on Palestine a decade ago? Would these account oppose it and demand China shift back to a more balanced approach?
Of course not.
But when they hear someone criticize China, they rush to defend it, even if they would have defended the opposite stance if that was what China chose to do.
This is because these people are not thinking. They practice a sort of blind loyalty: whatever China chooses to do is good, and whatever it doesn't do, is not good.
Practicing blind loyalty makes you stupid, and always, eventually, or immediately, immoral. It also means foregoing any political power and agency you might otherwise have.
I will not waste my time arguing with people who do not think. I will use my platform to push for changes I see as positive, because that's what we're here for. No to be fanboys and fangirls of this or that power.
But I will offer people the good service of checking to see if they defend stuff because it is the right thing, or because this is what people and institutions they have been programmed to think of as good say is the right thing.
Thank you
