you can argue about how organized DSA is, but Stancil is arguing that taking this position will result in it losing moral credibility

White House official said "at different times this week, every member of the team has looked at one another teary-eyed."

“We deal with mass casualty events with some amount of frequency on the national security team,” a senior official said. “But this one has at times felt like more than any one person can bear. It’s clear people are carrying their grief with them.”

It actually gets worse. Iraq and Syria combined area is about 620,000 sq km. The Gaza Strip? 365 sq km.

This is roughly 8.5 times the volume of explosions over 0.06% the land area.

it's a good line, shame they are not able to hold a party discipline to that line from the elected officials they work to put in office.

I have also seen a smattering of US trade unions publicly supporting the palestinian struggle, but largely from the newer cadres of unionized academic workers. I assume the more entrenched, liberalized and business-union outfits can't be bothered to even print a positive statement.

and hell fwiw there's a DSA elected who's spearheaded legislation for NY state to stop funding Israeli settlements, which is supported by their coalition of about half dozen state officials. The bill would make it illegal for non profits to materially support Israeli settlement construction and expansion. It seems too spicy to get even the "progressive" wing on board, especially now (think they launched the effort in the spring). Now I assume there are NY Dems calling for the guys head but I haven't kept up.

I think most people honestly don't care. It's a regional problem, nothing new or unique.

Only people who reside there or have political angles are making waves.

Nobody cared about the last genocide reported. Does anyone even know which one that was? That it was even this year? Exactly.

What should I say to my very nice 85 year old Jewish grandma who supports Israel when I see her this weekend? I don't really know what's going on but I'm guessing Hamas did an attack on civilians and Israel responded by killing 100s or thousands of civilians with some flimsy justifications to suggest they weren't innocent? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Honestly my grandma doesn't have that many years left so it doesn't really matter what she thinks any way, but she's usually a very smart nice lady who i love very much. I guess I'll just say "but come on, we know why Hamas is doing attack, there are reasons."

Give her a hug, make some tea and talk about literally anything else like a normal person does.

Watch some old BBC dramas from the 1990s with her.

hamas killed literally a thousand unarmed people and abducted a lot of people, you in fact do not have to defend them to your 85 year old grandma that you love so much, in fact you probably shouldnt discuss the matter with her at all if you dont know whats going on lol
