Regardless of even any politics what she did was stupid and not well thought out. If you want to help be more strategic about it. Maybe even think that the people you want to help quite literally will kill you. Just a thought. The last thing I’m doing is supporting someone who would want me dead

she wasnt planning to get off the ship. she was on the ship purely to give it the publicity (and therefor possible protection from interception) necessary to get the aid to the resource centers, who can then allocate the resources out to the people who need it. this was about using her name to keep attention on the ship hoping itd be enough to get the help thru

Please explain to me why so many liberal individuals have chosen this war in particular to focus on where there have been so many others in the past two decades. Also why are they supporting Palestine knowing if they ever set foot there they would be killed. The vast majority of the people supporting the Free-Palestine movement are LGBTQ+ identifying.

are you aware of the deal trumps made with Netanyahu for america to build on the gaza strip once theyve killed and displaced everyone there? do you know how much of our tax dollars have gone to this? how big of an ally the US is to israel? do you know theyve been sending in crates of food rigged with explosives? have you seen as many children with missing limbs and permanently shell shocked eyes as i have? respectfully, please just shut up

I actually will not. I didn’t vote for Trump. Of course he is going to support Israel because that’s where the money is. That’s why Elon ended up in the White House. He has now burned many of the people who initially supported him because all he cares about is financial and political gain. I actually am aware. I did my part and advocated and voted. Didn’t make a difference. I don’t support it but it’s still happening. I do understand innocents are involved. When has the US not ever done this?

Its because we are directly funding it. Its kinda similar to people protesting Vietnam. At least thats how I see it

They’ve always BEEN the villain. They don’t care how they’re perceived because they just get money and push it right back at political leaders to keep looking the other way while continuing to be a dark stain on the world.

How else will “israel” try to “justify” violating every human right while fucking up the environment, history, eradicating culture, and pushing more racist, ableist bullshit if they can’t hide behind antisemitism while also being the biggest danger to Jews? 🥺

And you think it wasn’t the left that wasn’t out here protesting bush or Vietnam? We focus on many wars but this one has increased focus due to the American involvement there since fucking Truman. Israel was built on colonization w the Balfour declaration expanded the British told them to chill the fuck out and they’re the fucking British so they got American intervention. As the Middle East declared independence from colonization Israel became a crucial piece of land for America to then easily

Exploit the rest of the Middle East. We then never stopped increasing supplies funding and investing in them and it only continues to grow. A lot of the shit we got going on here is intertwined in that bullshit too! Our entire military system including the ongoing kidnappings and brutalization by ICE was developed w Israel not to mention similar tactics of surveillance and suppression. You do know that even Palestinian Jews have been oppressed since even the first Nakhba and that there ARE many

2. Pinkwashing. You do know Israel doesn’t allow gay people to marry right? You think Israelis are more accepting? Why? Because they sometimes have gay bars for tourists? Where did you get the idea that all Palestinians hate gay people. X or Reddit?
