this "hurt people hurt people" bullshit is not how the world works. israelis are not killing palestinians because of historical "trauma", they're killing them because they're genocidal colonizers. do some basic research on how israel treats holocaust survivors.
Resist the urge to dehumanize Israelis. They are not “monsters.”. They are all too human—weaponizing their trauma to inflict the same trauma on others. We must accept and understand this human impulse to stop this cycle of violence. We must disarm them. And protect the people.

it's absolutely horrifying how quickly everyone is becoming desensitized to israel's crimes. they bomb 1 hospital and everyone bickers for days whether they did it or not - now they've on the ground raided 2 (this one isn't even in gaza!) and bombed 39 other health facilities.

i think she's a liberal but not really because of one bad sentence she said on palestine in an academic setting. it's a culmination of many things she's done. i've attended talks by her and her politics have definitely been deradicalized over the years.

interesting to see universities adopt the tactic of criminalizing literally any form of activity ever - similar to what georgia is doing using rico against cop city protestors. anything and everything is illegal if it makes them mad enough.
