And you know who I also don’t condemn?

The IRA

The Viet Minh

John Brown

Haitian slaves who revolted

Native American fighters

Black Panthers

National Liberation Front (Algeria)

Nelson Mandela

The 26th of July Movement

Every one of them were called “terrorists” or something equivalent at some point. Now think about who’s on the opposite of this list. Apartied South Africa, slavers, settlers, Zionists, the US government… There is only one moral and just side to be on and it’s not even a discussion.

yeah better to just let them get trampled hey.

The Palestinian resistance is alive and well. You and your support for them ought to be too.

but how? posting memes and arguing online is no help. what do do? seriously, I would be ready to volunteer as a human shield at this point.

What do you mean by "human shield"? Are you seriously buying into the western media's spin doctoring of Palestinian children killed in airstrikes deliberately targeting civilians as "human shields"?

Volunteer at your local pro Palestine org, donate to Palestine relief foundations, boycott Israeli products, join Pro Palestine protests that are occuring around you. Anything but being a whiny smartass liberal in response to pro Palestine sentiment.

Yeah going to work for the Red Cross in Palestine is something you can do.

In the absence of a mass party line on what to do. It's up to our own creativity, to answer the question: "If I was alive when the Nazis were doing their genocide, what could I have done to oppose them?"

Because we are living in such a time, Israel is an enemy that must be opposed in a similar way.
