Yes, exactly. The IDF intentionally attacks civilians in Palestine by shelling houses, for the purpose of demoralizing the population into surrendering to extermination. Sounds like terrorism to me!

There’s also a significant percentage of people there for the patriarchy and misogyny, and just think they’re “one of the good ones so the leopards won’t eat MY face”, so they ignore the parts of the MAGA platform that target them. For example, women who vote for Trump usually aren’t doing it because they’re misogynistic, the racism and transphobia might be bigger draws but they believe the misogyny won’t be applied to them. Same with Black and Latino men who are there for the patriarchy, misogyny, transphobia, but think the old white guys will accept them. Same again with the “Gays for Trump” folks, and the TERFS who support him.
For those of y’all who say that we don’t have an antisemitism problem on the left - this seems to be another example showing that we do, and we need to deal with it. Similarly to how movements in the past have been sabotaged by excluding groups (like white-only unions excluding nonwhite people), this could similarly fracture us along identity lines.
I’m far left (anarcho-syndicalist) and I say vote. It’s not that hard and buys us more time to do our organizing and try to build out unions and mutual aid networks while fascism is at least growing more slowly.
Let’s arm the Palestinians instead. Or, we could send intentionally defective weapons to Israel. Israel’s genocide has to stop
Well, I think that there’s actually something to this. I’ve been involved in a lot of organizing spaces, and there’s this “our backs are all up against a wall so we have to work towards a common goal of achieving a workers state and not dying due to climate change” vibe going around lately.
