I went to an Ilan Pappé talk yesterdays - I really recommend his books if you've not checked them out already. He's arguably one of the worlds leading experts on Zionism and the "Israel"-Palestine conflict, so obviously everything he said was great, but what I want to highlight:

Someone asked him if he thought the protests and petitions and calling you reps and shit would work, and he said no, it never will. It's still important to do that but the powerful will never surrender their power to the powerless just because they ask for it. Asking the UK and the US to cut ties with their imperial outpost in the Middle East is like asking an animal to gnaw off it's own limb - it won't do it unless its only other choice is dying completely.

So who does have the power to put a stop to this, we asked. The working class of the imperial core. That's us, and we are the most powerful people in the world right now, because this war machine can't function without us. Movements like this can only be built from the ground up, so stop looking to the government and start looking to your community. We need to make it more unprofitable to support Israel than it is to cut ties with it.

This is a call to action. The people HAVE the power, and we have to use it. Yes, that's you. Contact your trade union, your workplace, your school, your church, your university. Your friends, family, any connections you have. As many people on board as possible, with one goal: shut it down. Take direct action now.

@mutatiio is in for a lot of pain

Your lightsaber is your life.

Master Qui-Gon taught him that when he was just a boy, and Obi-Wan passed that teaching on to Anakin. A Jedi's lightsaber is more than a weapon, more than a crystal concealed in metal, connected to them on a deeper level than anything else can reach. It is the difference between life and death more often than not. Especial nowadays.

But he'd grown reckless with the years, and comfortable with the end of the war. He wasn't paying as much attention as he should have.

Could he have changed anything? Done anything differently?

His lightsaber hadn't even been in his hand. His comm had. Held comfortably against his palm with his fingers loosely wrapped around it as he talked —or more like complained, because the alleged distress call he'd been sent to answer hadn't yielded any results other than some really old equipment that seemed to have been abandoned at the edge of a clear— to Maul. Then, it had been as if something was taken from him. Ripped out of him– or more like he had abruptly been ripped away from something that had always enveloped him, like a blanket being yanked off him, leaving him bare, exposed, to the elements; while also feeling like someone had pulled the carpet from under his feet. The force was just... GONE. He'd been so taken aback by that feeling that he barely even noticed when his lightsaber was snatched from his belt.

Maul... Obi-Wan could still hear him, on the comm.

If he strained his eyes, he could even see where it lay on the ground beside him through the corner of his eye. If only he could turn on his side, he could reach for it. But he couldn't move. His own lightsaber had entered through his back and exited through his front mid torso, severing through his spine. His attackers had been masked, cloaked, lacking any identifying symbols and giving no explanation. He had no way of knowing who they were. They simply did what they did, and left him.

His stomach burned, he couldn't feel anything below that burning sensation. It was as if half his body was gone, and he couldn't even check, left to stare up at the clear sky.

Maul. What was he saying? He couldn't focus on trying to make out Maul's words. The pain was too much. What was Obi-Wan thinking when he thought that bisecting him was a logical punishment for someone, Jedi killer or not? Perhaps, this was his punishment, to suffer just a portion of the pain he'd inflicted upon the man he now loved so much. Yet, at the same time, he selfishly resented it. For so long, he had put himself in all sorts of situations that could have and would have killed anyone with just a pinch less luck than he had had. For years, he'd fantasized about an end to EVERYTHING, about reaching that curtain's call. And now?

Now, he doesn't want to die.

I'm sorry, he wants to say. But the words refuse to come out the way he means to say them. The air leaves his lungs but refuses to enter them again, only doing so in insignificant amounts that won't even let him apologize the way he wishes to. To Maul for hurting him, for what he knows is about to happen; and to the force for perhaps manifesting this and now not wanting to take it. His inability to do so doesn't stop him from trying, over and over. The bad signal caused by his comm hitting the ground doesn't help.
