I've only read a few Palestinian prisoners stories and I have to stop each time. I'm usually one who can sit and read for hours. It's devastating but necessary reading - we MUST get these stories to as many eyes as possible.

The ethnic cleansing and treatment of Palestinians by Israel, it's too much, I am sick. Every one is wholly an example of Israeli Zionist depravity - they kill animals and torture/kill humans. It's sickening but necessary reading - we MUST get these stories to as many eyes as possible.

    "After more than seven months of the Israeli genocide in – a word Physicians for Human Rights-Israel still refuses to use – the group acknowledges that “the Israeli government and other entities have been exploiting reports of sexual violence in a manipulative and cynical manner.”
    Too little, too late!"

    🔻'Trump would be worse' is a bad argument & misses several key points.
    🔻Biden is pitting vulnerable groups here against genocide victims in Palestine.
    🔻If Biden loses, it will be HIS fault.

    There’s a game of chicken going on. The Biden camp is explicitly counting on progressive voters eventually falling in line. This dynamic, this wager, is EXACTLY why they keep sending arms and money to Israel. They are expressly blackmailing left voters, pitting vulnerable groups stateside with genocide victims overseas. This is their calculus and millions of voters intuitively know this. Meanwhile the moral incumbency is placed on some vague cohort of Arab/black/progressive voters This is the CONTEXT of the discussion and rallying the troops at this point—six months before the actual decision needs to be made—reads to a lot of people as capitulation without a fight, as confirmation Biden’s strategy is working in real time. I too find this incredibly insensitive and vulgar. Without ANY CONCESSIONS, without a fight at all people of influence and power should not preemptively pledge their vote. Whats the rush? It’s six months from now? It’s a Hail Mary but why not try to unite to pressure Biden?
    Not because anyone wants to, or because it’s fun or makes people feel self righteous but because, and this can’t be stressed enough—IT’S ALL THERE IS. And it’s all there is because of Biden’s extremism and unwillingness to listen to overwhelming democratic voter consensus I tried to articulate this in this piece from March. I think the abstract question of “is Trump worse than Biden” is not a question anyone has to sheepdog for this far out. It’s not clear to me what the moral utility of this is at this point.

    Tweet by @adamjohnsonCHI My contribution to the “we still have to vote for Biden discourse” is this: I think the popular debate suffers from a flawed premise that this is some abstract trolly problem without political context. 🧵 That Trump “would be worse” is a reasonable position in the abstract ofc but it’s secondary to the CONTEXT of the debate which everyone keeps avoiding but I think it’s the far more interesting and urgent question. What function does the specter of massive vote withholding have? 6 months before the election in Q media influencers and progressive politicians pledging their partisan fidelity serves no functional purpose other than undermining the SINGLE point of leverage powerless angry anti-genocide voters have, which is Team Biden’s fear of losing in Nov It sucks that this is the one point of meaningful leverage they have, but it is, and it’s entirely due to Biden’s cold stubbornness and the cracking down on on meaningful dissent.

    This podcast is good at making easier to digest, if you're interested--

    Up this week is Zionism, Zionist , Balfour, the guy chosen to mess up Palestine, who had previously wreaked havoc in Ireland and denied entry to Jews fleeing the holocaust who were hoping to find refuge in the UK. And Herzl &more stuff.

    I can't understand this level of inhumanity.
    Why don't they care. Why can't we stop this.

    I should stop trying to convince people to care. 💔 But i can't. 🔻
