Like they agree with me in terms of being “team Palestine”, and understands my analogies of the initial Hamas attack being like if slaves in the 1800s had tried to stage an uprising etc but still “you can’t tell me terrorism is good because it’s never good”, even when I explain to them how non-violent protest actually working (like when schools taught us about MLK JR/civil rights etc) is propaganda…fun times.
Lol, my understanding was that the US wasn’t happy about much of what occurred, but I accept I could be wrong.
Vincent Bevins’, who wrote The Jakarta Method, just published a book called If We Burn that covers the Arab Spring and really goes into detail on Egypt. The premise of the book is that the past decade has seen more protest than at anytime in history so why did they often have the opposite of the intended effect?
I’ll add that to my list, thanks.
