    That is why we, at the heart of the imperial hub, must show them solidarity – and why we need to learn from their experience before we run out of time to act for ourselves.

    every time i see a call to arms like; my inner pessimist reminds me that the small numbers i saw at broadview the other week mirrors my experiences protesting bush jr’s iraq war 20 years ago and that things are going to have to get A LOT worse to get americans to answer this call in significant enough numbers.

    Why is Israel viewed as so essential to western elites that they are willing to be seen openly backing its genocide in Gaza? Because Israel is creating a vision of the near-future, it is developing the template for how they deal with surplus sections of western populations in a world of diminishing resources and an ever-more hostile climate.

    And all the better for our rulers, any resistance on our part to the Palestinians’ enslavement and slow extermination – and to our own growing servitude and abuse – can be characterised as antisemitism. In outsourcing this project to Israel, western establishments have devised the ultimate cover story.
