#BDS Boston shared a video by a man named Matt Nelson who tells viewers that he is about engage in an “extreme act of protest.”
“We are all culpable in the ongoing genocide in #Gaza,” he tells viewers. “We are slaves to capitalism and the military industrial complex. Most of us are too apathetic to care. The protest I’m about to engage in is a call to our govt to stop supplying #Israel with the money and weapons it uses to imprison and murder innocent #Palestinians."

Daily massacres while you're distracted by pathetic debates between monstrous candidates:
"#Israel’s military bombed the #UN-operated al-Jaouni school in central #Gaza, killing at least 18 people. Witnesses say 'women and children were blown to pieces' in the assault.
Six of the victims were #UNRWA staff, including the manager of the shelter. The agency said it was the highest death toll for its staff in a single incident in the 11-month war."

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in July effectively spiked a draft hostage and ceasefire deal by introducing a raft of new, 11th-hour demands, according to a report by the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth citing a document it obtained."
CNN reports: "The report lends credence to charges often leveled at the prime minister – most notably by hostage families – of purposefully prolonging the war and torpedoing deals for his political benefit."

#GazaGenocide / How Netanyahu Is Trying to Save Himself, Elect Trump and Defeat Harris
Friedman, despite his criticism of #Netanyahu and recognition of his questionable motives behind the continued war on #Gaza and its indefinite prolongation - a fact most Israelis are aware of and been warning about for months - still clings to the two-state solution rhetoric like most mainstream U.S. liberals by gnoring a the fact that the Palestinians' right to self-determination isn't contingent on Israel's willingness or readiness, especially not 76 years into the conflict.
The billions of dollars the U.S. pours into sustaining Israel's colonization project could just as easily be used by #Israel to defend itself within the 1967 borders from those it perceives as threats - those horrible Palestinians who dare to aspire to live normal lives in their own land.

"University administrators across the United States have declared an indefinite state of emergency on college campuses. Schools are rolling out policies in preparation for quashing pro-Palestine student activism this Fall semester, and reshaping regulations and even campuses in the process to suit this new normal.
"Many of these policies being instituted share a common formula: more militarization, more law enforcement, more criminalization, and more consolidation of institutional power."

U.S. universities spent the summer strategizing to suppress student activism. Here is their plan.
Schools across the U.S. have altered policies and even landscapes in an attempt to make a repeat of last spring’s Palestine protests impossible. The result is a far-reaching war on free expression and the increased militarization of higher education.Carrie Zaremba (Mondoweiss)

Never forget this and never forget that this was repeated a dozen times since. There was no need for this war. No need for the genocide. No need for any of this.
It was all a political decision for Netanyahu to avoid accountability, and it was only possible because of the direct complicity of the Biden administration.

For those puzzled about why so many nations are "blindly" following US on Israel
They're not blind; they're just US client states (see partial list ⬇️)
Under threat of being sued, typically via US corps, for behaviour that "conflicts with their trade agreements", client states do as they're told.
US "agreements" can enable client states to be bankrupted at will.

The platoon pushed her up to each of the doors in her aunt’s house, while they remained braced behind her ready to fire at whoever might be inside.
