  • Aye. My personal take is that both must be condemned as horrific. The Youtuber is wrong to call it “just a symbol”. I didn’t see any discussion of the $8 billion in arms anywhere though, which struck me as bizarre. Perhaps it is just due to a filter bubble.

    The US army has proven to be very good at fighting conventional wars but utterly incompetent in fights against guerrillas.

    Also they can’t bomb infrastructure to starve the rebels out without fucking themselves over too, since they need that infrastructure themselves.





  • I cared before too. There is a difference between passively engaging in BDS and pouring your heart and soul into a movement.

    Edit: I felt the need to elaborate.

    For a very long time I followed the boycott and donated what I could. Genocide is atrocious, but what else could I do? I lived in the middle of bumfuck nowhere; There weren’t exactly any movements nearby I could get involved in.

    I then saw a man from bumfuck nowhere drive all the way to the Israeli Embassy and burn himself alive. I realised there was a whole lot of things I could do.

    I also moved to Ireland, so I got a lot more opportunities to act on my sentiments.
