Unfortunately you might be spot on.

11. I know this one may sound absurd, but how about something insane, like real equality, and another completely insane one, real accountability for politicians, corporations et al.

I wonder what the poll would be if a global one asked if the state of Israel should be disolved and given BACK to the Palestinians, just a random musing.

I had a look at a site called Saidit, JFC that place is where all the racists congregate it seems. Insane what’s allowed there.

I left out a lot of choice words because the powers that be on most sites take offense when you call a spade a spade, or when you compare said spade to spades that plagued the world during the 1930’s and 40’s.

It’s a real shame we are not allowed to say certain things on social media. While I agree with the sentiment sometimes, the ongoing events in Gaza make me internally wish for very horrible things to happen to certain people who have a specific ideology.

A genocidal apartheid ethno state.

But blowing up babies and hospitals isn’t so bad I guess… It’s funny what it takes to incite a “strongly worded statement” which will lead to fuck all.

Ok, I giggled.

Never again (as long as they’re white European stock or Jewish ) should be the new slogan.

In an ideal world yes, but we’re talking about an extremist government that has some of the world’s heaviest weapons as well as nukes. And given their decades long bleating like sheep about how they’re the victims they will no doubt burn the world before that happens.

I’d love nothing more than to have a court order the two populations to swap places, to see how they like living in an open air prison. I mentioned sanctions because they are the only realistic option at the moment.

I hope one day soon the west will wake up from their collective guilt and hold these bastards accountable. I can’t see it happening in my lifetime, but one can hope.

Condemnation and bullshit UN resolutions that keep getting vetoed mean nothing. Countries need to start sanctioning Israel with or without American approval.

In our case, we’d love the army to be able to do it’s job and depend us. The Gulf Arab states can go fuck themselves with the high tech weapons they don’t even know how to use. I agree in time if things remain as is, a new group will emerge, especially given the nature of the new drone warfare.

Do you think they would gain independence without the sacrifices of people killed by occupation?> Personally no, being from the middle east I’ve seen what “democracy” brings to the region. Lebanon, as an example, are not allowed to purchase any weapons that can ever be a threat to Israel, how is that being a soverign state? The world is run on the “might is right rule” and I don’t have any answers as to how that can change.

No one’s ever stopped them before, and it’s unlikely anyone ever will. This is a good step for Lebanon internally. Unfortunately, I have very little hope for this or any other “positives” as long as Israel continues down their decades long genocidal expansionist path.

As a Lebanese, this is very welcome news,if it can actually be done. It’s a good first step, but that’s all it is, a first step. Hopefully one day we can talk about their right of return as well, although I won’t be holdingmy breath.

Look at the French, at the Serbians, they shut down the country. The protests have to be disruptive by nature otherwise you’re not really achieving anything, they’re still spewing out executive orders and going against everything the legal framework and safeguards you’re supposed to have stand for. That means not waiting for the weekend, but shutting down main streets during the week. Civil disobedience across the entire country to cripple it.

The problem I see unfortunately is apathy, 33% actively want this administration, 33% would rather hide in the basement and hope for the best, and I’m not sure the other 33% have the stomach for it. Trump and his handlers would love nothing more than mass protests to declare an emergency. The question is, do you have the stomach for a fight, or hope that somehow there maybe future elections.

Sorry for the rant! But this is a leftist outsiders perspective.

To my American brothers and sisters here. You need to stop being nice, you need to stop waiting for an imaginary red line to be crossed before you take mass action. That red line passed a long time ago. I am someone from a country with a history of violence, and if you don’t act now your options will end up being violence or a techno fascist state. Cripple the country, general strikes, mass protests! . I genuinely hope I don’t come across as condescending, I’ve protested in vain countless times in my country, to no avail. But you have the numbers!.

Sincerely a concerned friend of the real America.

At this point the administration might as well send out the Proud Boys and KKK and just start clubbing people to death. Decimating the CDC, the brain worm actively waging a war on vaccines, defunding essential programs… It’s insane.
