    @ymishory@tooot.im @appassionato@mastodon.social @bookstodon@a.gup.pe @palestine@a.gup.pe Do you for one moment think that things can go on like this inside Israel, for Israel? It’s unsustainable. Let go or be dragged. I look at Israel and I see a deranged and genocidal nation.

      I have not always seen that when I look at Israel, but it’s definitely what I see this month and last.

        @jpaskaruk@growers.social @ymishory@tooot.im @appassionato@mastodon.social @bookstodon@a.gup.pe @palestine@a.gup.pe It’s what you could always see being inside it, if you really perceived.

          So… do nothing and wait? Easy enough.

            @ymishory@tooot.im @appassionato@mastodon.social @bookstodon@a.gup.pe @palestine@a.gup.pe That’s what’s happening now isn’t it? Or no, rather, Israel’s genociding is generously funded by the USA and morally justified by most “civilized nations” that claim that the Israelis are the victim here because they’re jewish and it’s kind of an ethnic thing. Just outrageous. Meanwhile the contracts on the natural gas exploration just off the coast of Gaza have been signed. So. [shrugs shoulders]

              You keep going back to describing how bad things are, when we’ve already agreed that it’s a bloody mess.

              I’m trying to understand your endgame. If, as you say, it’s just a matter of time and there’s nothing to be done right now, why waste the time and energy on endless debates?

              If, on the other hand, there’s some course of action that could change things for the better, what is it?
