Too much blame on the individual and not enough blame on the system of oppression but it is funny none the less.

    I agree. Bibi is a symptom, not the actual malady.

      Same with Trump. They’re tumors rather than the underlying cancer.

      A tumor can still kill you and spread cancerous cells throughout the system, though, so it’s important not to neglect eradication of the symptoms as well as the underlying disease.

        Many seem to believe that if Trump died in office, the situation would return to a normalcy from before his first administration. It’s tiresome, lazy thinking.

          Things will never return to normal and will continue to get worse for generations until Americans grow a fucking brain and realize we’re not special.

            Society will not return to the past.

            The consensus of uneasy contentment with the status quo has been shattered, and the pressures toward change are immense.

            The way forward, whether it develops favorably or unfavorably, will be new and different.

        At minimum, it would be necessary to dismantle settler-colonialism in Palestine, meaning an end to the “Jewish state”.
