    I don’t think mutual aid and civil disobedience is going to stop things like the $7.4B arms sale to Israel that was announced earlier this week. But surely that is part of this acceptable compromise the Greens made?

      It absolutely could but yeah it’s not going to since US activists will likely be more focused in democratic threats for the time being.

      This is actually an argument I can’t remember anyone making—that the numerous crimes and atrocities the Trump administration would execute in relation to other issues and communities would distract focus from Palestinian liberation and enable further ethnic cleansing. Maybe that would have been more convincing to Harris skeptics but I don’t know.
