I mean beating a privileged blonde white girl is bad, but the whole genocide thing is what I hoped would get nations involved to stop israel.
One reason this has more impact than it seems like it should is the flotilla was comprised of citizens of other nations.
It's human nature to care more about you and yours than someone else, even if you do also care about someone else, and this triggers that feeling, where Israelis committing genocide against Palestinians do not.
I just hope something comes of it.
2 years ago demanding Palestinians to have equal rights was considered demanding genocide. I was practically alone in being pro-Palestinian, in my region, before 2022, now hundreds of thousands march for palestine each day.
Can I ask what country your from?
When I went out to Seattle to protest this weekend we were a bit bigger than the last time. It's still a almost depressing number of people for a supposedly "leftist" city. But I look at Italy and the numbers in the global south and try to remember I'm not alone. I'm just far away. The vast majority of the world stands with Palestine. It's just been so disheartening to live in the brain rot of the imperial core. My normie friends tell me "like, no one even hears or talks about this stuff".
I just have to remind myself that I am the sane one in a truly sick society. The numbers of the world are massively on my side. Even if I can't speak their language or give them a hug.
