This is fucked.
I mean beating a privileged blonde white girl is bad, but the whole genocide thing is what I hoped would get nations involved to stop israel.
the world is full of people so self absorbed (with and without justification) that if it takes a priviledged white girl getting beaten to get attention, so be it
Greta knows this and is exactly the reason she is doing it... putting her own well being at risk for this cause... I suspect the biggest risk you'd take is falling from that high horse
the way I see it, yes but this is worth paying attention to is that this seems to be an escalation. Greta is white and privileged, sure, but she is those things and she is famous. Like anything that happens to her will garner mainstream attention. And if something if they do really bad to her (like kill or SA her) it will put a huge negative spotlight on them in a way I dont think they realize. Like Charlie Kirk was a racist dickhead with tiny face memes for years but my dad didnt ask me who he was until like 2 weeks ago.
One reason this has more impact than it seems like it should is the flotilla was comprised of citizens of other nations.
It's human nature to care more about you and yours than someone else, even if you do also care about someone else, and this triggers that feeling, where Israelis committing genocide against Palestinians do not.
I just hope something comes of it.
Something has already come from it. That something doesn't have to be the end of Zionism though to make it meaningful.
The totality of all action will be what brings about Zionisms death. From the single protest with 50 people you went to. From the BDS movement. From the blockade from Yemin. From the flotillas. From the small win against Microsoft recently. From all of it, and more, Zionism will end one day.
Do not feel disheartened by not meeting the end goal or even making noticable progress for each individual action. Feel inspired by the acts of defiance to also take action in what ever way you are capable of.
