It keeps baffling me how Dutch media is even more biased towards *srael than *sraeli media. But it’s probably because Dutch people would actually be shocked to read it while most *sraeli’s probably support the racism.

No news outlet is going to report on that but there are videos of the racist and pro genocide chants. Amsterdam has a large Palestinian community in which many people have family members that were murdered by those IDF pigs.

They literally ran through the streets ripping and burning Palestinian flags and shouting pro genocide chants one day ago. They’re scum.

This is a great attitude to have. You can do so much on a local level. Be there for the people around you, and try to notice when someone is not doing well and might need your help. Speak up for those whose voices are not being heard. Being available and protective towards those in your own community who are vulnerable is the least you can do. Some other significant ways you can contribute are:

• volunteer at organisations that provide food/shelter/harm reduction
• become a union member and help with the fight towards fair compensation for every worker
• volunteer at organisations that have a goal of building community and provide safe spaces
• donate to organisations mentioned above

Also realise that you do not know what it’s like to be disabled/queer/of an ethnic minority/a person of colour or of another vulnerable group (unless you are a part of that group of course). You need to learn about their struggles before you can effectively help them. You probably already know someone who belongs to one of those groups, now is the time to listen to them and learn from them so you can better vocalise their struggles towards those who don’t understand.

Also, motivate others to do the same! All hope is not lost, humans instinctively look out for one another and the biggest change is made through helping those around you.

This is dangerously wrong. Any person can have a huge impact on their own community without changing countrywide politics. It is super important that caring USians start contributing to their communities and help the people that are more at risk of being wrongly prosecuted for living their life. Please volunteer at mutual aid programs, please protest against genocide, please educate the people around you, please make sure trans and queer people are safe, please speak out about racism. And when you witness a nazi victimising someone based on their identity/race/disability/etc, please act and don’t look away.

Telling people that ‘change is hopeless’ only endangers vulnerable groups more.

It’s not just an embargo, it’s a criminal blockade that every UN country except the US, Israel and Ukraine has agreed should end.

We do! I remember your username because I’ve seen you post good takes in a sea of genocide defenders attacking you.

Whataboutism is not a serious argument.

Russia is helping with an effort to create pressure to stop a genocide and the US is helping commit the genocide.

Israel and the US are so closely tied to each other that the difficulty level is nearly the same

Should add American assets since they’re the ones funding and encouraging the genocide.

One of the funniest things about American car culture is that Americans probably walk the same distance from their parking spot to the store as I walk from my home.

Israel has put great effort into tying judaism with zionism. The people that went to school in Israel (but also some jewish people abroad through jewish educational programs sponsored by Israel) learn that any attack on Israel is an attack on jews akin to the holocaust, and that all Palestinians want to kill all jews. Israel as an apartheid state has also been very attractive to racist people who do not care and even welcome a genocide of the people they consider to be ‘lesser’. Israel used that to advertise to such alt right people so that they can continue to violently colonise more Palestinian land. The people that do not condone apartheid and genocide were more likely to leave in the last decades (if they were able to) leaving those still there as a minority.

Netanyahu’s popularity rose with the invasion and large scale bombings of civilian targets in Libanon. That should tell you enough about what most Israeli’s think of the genocide.

Not true. It might be that people with illnesses that cause a higher risk of heart attacks can also make it more difficult for them to go out and meet people due to low mobility or chronic pain or fatigue.

While agree with the sentiment, electorialism will never end capitalism because of the power imbalance where capitalists will spend all their money if they need to for heavy propaganda campaigns in favour of capitalism.

Your energy is better spent on small scale organising your workplace, to make sure that you and your coworkers can actually use the only leverage you have through strikes.

More working class children means that there will be more people to exploit in the future. The size of the working class population is extremely important for the generation of wealth because they’re basically the only ones doing productive labour.

‘A system that counteracts those selfish tendencies’ you mean a system in which:

• housing is not controlled by companies with no moral incentive to keep them liveable and affordable?
• people don’t learn from a young age that their value is directly connected to their willingness to fuck people over for money?
• there is no monetary incentive to create artificial deficits in essential goods like housing and food?
• the whole economy is not based on ‘cheap labour’ and the illegal extraction of minerals from other countries?

This is probably not the answer you’re looking for but I’d thought I’d mention it anyways. Have you considered women’s boxershorts? Those are more comfortable when working out and the lines they leave are less pronounced and at a more flattering location.

Ah that’s unfortunate. The side effects are pretty bad especially with a high dose of
