It’s rotting me away inside that I can’t do anything to help the people in Palestine, and my government is forcing the senseless killing to continue, when we all can see that it is the murder of innocent people.
I’m a lot older than you. I grew up during the cold war and the aids crisis, and I’ve seen a lot of conflict (on the news, not in my country, at least not during my lifetime) and never before has there ever been, in my opinion, a conflict this black and white, this obviously insidious, this blatantly genocidal as this one, while governments around the world say it isn’t. I don’t understand why saying Stop Genocide can get me fired now, I really don’t
It’s so obviously, unmistakably genocidal and pure evil that it makes me feel crazy that the media and governments can act as if it is “Complicated!”
If I so much as suggest that I might support the palestians, I will lose my job. At work, I have to pretend that we aren’t transparently the bad guys here. And I don’t have much of a choice in who I work for, not if I want to have a home. I’ve been homeless. I don’t want to be homeless again. I get that like, a solution to preventing this from happening again is complicated, but stopping the bombing and the snipers and the like isn’t complicated at all.
A long term solution is complex. A short term solution of stop fucking killing people and provide aid to the survivors is not remotely complex.The level of censorship boggles my mind. It’s terrible.
