Israel was founded with the Nakba, a series of atrocities that ethnically cleansed Palestinians from their homeland. Today we are witnessing Israel engage in ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza on an even larger, more violent scale.

The Second Nakba

While Palestinians have always feared the prospect of a second Nakba, which several Israeli officials have threatened over the years, most never imagined that it would unfold before their eyes in broad daylight, believing that ethnic cleansing belonged in the past century.

They were wrong. For eight months since last October, Israel has massacred and displaced more than three times as many Palestinians in Gaza as it did in all of Palestine during the Nakba. [...]

And there seems to be fuck all we (NPCs) can do about it. I truly hate this timeline.

Boycotting and direct action works. Protestors in Tamworth have managed to force an entire israeli arms factory to shut down through direct action.

In general, all successful working class movements have happened by organizing.

I see what you mean and I feel the same more often than not. On the other hand I think this is part of the authorities' narrative that wants us to stay home. In reality we got the power and it is visible went we are out in the streets protesting, this genocide for instance. If we didn't have the power authorities would not exercise so much force to stop us talking, marching or squating gras.

Jacobin is a strongly biased source and unlikely to be trustworthy or accurate in it's "reporting".

People are just flat out scared of being called antisemitic even when they know about the genocide taking place. Israel has a large psychological warfare team dedicated to manipulating social media. This includes trying to associate negative attitudes about Israel into antisemitism.

Yes, there is this effort to equate anti-zionism with anti-semitism. Thankfully there have been Jewish people against zionism, since its inception. Btw Meet The ‘Wrong Jew’ The Media Doesn’t Want You To Know Exists, and they say

"Not in our name!"
