Today half of these people would have been convinced by dudes on social media that real men don't support this cause. Or Joe Rogan would've convinced them that it's a communist plot. Or Alex Jones would've had them thinking it's a globalist conspiracy to try and get us to eat bugs. They're all just different feathers on the conservative propaganda wing. These people are a direct threat to our society's progress.

Reagan and Thatcher were calling Mandela a terrorist after he had been released from prison. The western world was very much okay with apartheid then, much like they're okay with Israel doing a genocide today: because they can and will "do business" with fascists. Attitudes only shifted because it became economically unpalatable to "do business" with South Africa, largely because of boycotts.

Want to stop Israel? Make it cost the rich more to support them. Boycott, divest, sanction.
