#obviously this also applies to other imperialist/world powers but the money that our usgovt is promising israel & has given is obscene

i keep seeing rhetoric among usamericans like 'we have enough problems here, i'm staying out of this' regarding the genocide in palestine — but there is no staying out of this. you cannot stay out of this. you are already involved. even were it not just a social obligation as a person who lives in this world, it is largely our usamerican tax dollars, our military aid, & our weapons that is making this ongoing genocide against palestinians a reality. and so we are complicit and have been complicit in the forced expulsion & ethnic cleansing of the palestinian people. we are already involved. & we must dissent. we have a responsibility to educate ourselves, to write and call our representatives, to demand a ceasefire, to march when possible in solidarity, to amplify palestinian voices, to support bds in its boycotts, to call for sanctions against the apartheid state of israel, & to do everything in our power to stand up with palestinians
