The Vietnam war involved forcing Americans to fight a BS war. The average American hardly feels the same kind of impact in relation to Israel, which is why you don’t see protests against the USA/Israel right now on a scale anywhere near those that happened during the Vietnam war.
As for George Floyd’s death, it took the largest protests in American history to take 3 cops to trial to be found guilty.
I don’t think your comparison makes sense and it’s leaving out so many factors about USA/Israel.
Why aren’t these protestors calling Trump out at his rallies? They know neither party will cut ties with Israel, and it seems folks in this thread are torn between acknowledging this while simultaneously claiming the Dems minds’ could be changed by these protestors. Just seems painfully naive.
I gotta ask. How many of y’all here are POC or women, and how many are white dudes?
Your smug naivete only turns people off to whatever cause you think you have. By simply saying these protests won’t work, you follow in the footsteps of those who told civil rights leaders that they were too radical and needed a different approach. Your political imagination is too limited to see a better world beyond our current one, so you belittle and shame others who fight for righteous causes because your soul is corrupted by capitalism and you like it. You fight others because genocide has no affect on your calloused, propagandized heart. You care only about being right and care nothing about righteous causes. You are deeply unserious.
Protests ended Jim Crow and helped stop the Vietnam war and highlighted police brutality that finally caused convictions, why not defunding Israel?

Absolutely. I was being general to facilitate a good faith conversation, but that turned out to be pointless.

You believe the two are comparable? Seriously?

you are very domesticated
I hate when people like you do this. Nothing screams cracker more than condescendingly believing everyone that doesn’t think like you is white.
Everything about your posting history screams cracker. You are a fucking sundodger, I can see it in your posts.
Everyone pushing back against you is an actual POC. That’s why they don’t think like you, because only white people think and act like you.
