The demonstrations are important as an epistemological exercise. If the public sphere is completely dominated by pro-Israeli interests, then the only possibility of pushback to that comes from mobilizing a physical presence in public. It's important to maintain a political counter-narrative rather than allowing private interests to completely control the public space. Anybody who thinks demonstrations are pointless because they don't have an immediate policy outcome, doesn't understand the ideological struggle within the political process.

nbd I'm sure they can just hang out indefinitely while netanyahu decides whether he wants to do a ground invasion. no political repercussions whatsoever in leaving the people whose entire personality is laughing at people in refugee camps, in a refugee camp

They're not going to refugee camps they're going back to their homes in europe and america probably to sit this out.

Does anyone know how many Israelis have fled overseas? I'm seeing internally displaced between 200k - 500k, but nothing for people taking return flights to Europe and the United States.

I think it should be ok to talk about how protest doesn't do much. Maybe someone who has read Vincent Bevins new book has some hot takes.
Protest in the west does have some utility though. You can tell people overseas how many people atleast nominally support them. Western populations are kinda captive too, so it is good to develop international solidarity. So it's good people can express practical concerns.
E/N bullshit should be destroyed though.

There are many poor doomers. Maybe I don't understand what a doomer post is.

i get wanting to unload but it sucks to read a million posts whining about how bad it makes THEM feel. imo it's worse than some hamburger posts, how this affects biden election chances might actually influence how much support he's willing to give israel.

i'm more sympathetic if you at least tried to do something to help the people actually dying.

What he and luecid said. I donated, despite being broke and also bought a “Liberation of Palestine” T-shirt I am gonna wear as much as possible regardless of consequence as well as a flag to hang from my apartment balcony.

I am already excited for the cops visit.

Eve Barlow preposterously claimed that a climate activist was antisemitic because in also protesting the genocide of Palestinians there was a stuffed toy octopus in the shot. She is a cry bully.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Gaza is completely hosed. We’re witnessing indiscriminate mass murder and explicit genocide on a level not seen in our lifetimes. We’re about to watch 2.3 million Palestinians get permanently erased from Gaza before Israel annexes it. One thing about Hedges is he’s always been right on war. The article is good, greatly sourced, but incredibly blunt on what is going on. His line about Israel’s statement of preparing for a 10 year war as the first honest statement from the Israeli government in decades got me good.

https://x.com/ChrisLynnHedges/status/1716168811152330789?s=20

quote:

The Israeli army mobilized Ezra Yachin, a 95-year-old army veteran, to “motivate” the troops. Yachin was a member of the Lehi Zionist militia that carried out numerous massacres of Palestinian civilians, including the Deir Yassin massacre on April 9, 1948, where over 100 Palestinian civilians, many women and children, were slaughtered. 

"Be triumphant and finish them off and don’t leave anyone behind. Erase the memory of them," Yachin said addressing Israeli troops.

"Erase them, their families, mothers and children,” he went on. “These animals can no longer live." 

"Every Jew with a weapon should go out and kill them,” he said. “If you have an Arab neighbor, don’t wait, go to his home and shoot him.”

I wouldn't be surprised if they're logging who's trying to follow polemical accounts, nor would it surprise me if they're collating the faces of people appearing at the rallies

They are really circling the wagons on this one, this is probably the most dangerous it has ever been to go against the received narrative since HUAC

Not only can these people ruin your life, they consider doing so to be the natural correct order for you going against them
