Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto Palestine@lemmy.ml•We must face reality — the Gaza War is now a war of annihilation4·20 days agoYes, it always was, but the fact that staunch Zionists acknowledge it now is another step forward in public opinion, and will make it politically more difficult to attack the Palestinian solidarity movement.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Australian PM Albanese says Israel’s blockade of aid into Gaza is ‘an outrage’English2·20 days agoThe hashtags were added in Mastodon and I forgot to remove them in Lemmy, sorry.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•A Missouri Town Was Solidly Behind Trump. Then Carol Was Detained.1·20 days agoI think that you’re missing the point here. People who had some vision of ICE taking out violent criminals now see something different and they they are taking a stand against it. And it’s not happening to them, but to a single Chinese worker who they all love. That’s solidarity, even if they may not call it such. Something similar happened in NY state in the town of the border czar.
These events give me hope for the future. There is no point at all in finger-wagging at Trump voters. When the tariffs and Medicaid cuts come down, we will see many more people’s consciousness change.

Video documentation and expert testimony of horrible crimes is often effective in changing public opinion.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto Palestine@lemmy.ml•Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and didn’t mention Gaza once. That’s no surprise | Judith LevineEnglish31·2 months agoYes, it did change. But I still think that your concern is misplaced and that the Guardian’s error came nowhere close to misinformation.

Peter Link@lemmy.mlBanned from communityOPto News@lemmy.world•Backed by Trump, Israel Shreds Cease-Fire Deal and Kills Over 400 Across Gaza | Common DreamsEnglish83·3 months agoRight here. Biden’s policies greatly strengthened Israel and directly helped the genocide.
Is Trump worse? I think yes. But that is still no reason to gloat or to think that endlessly supporting the lesser evil is going to produce any real changes that the world needs.

Foolish votes maybe, but not fools, if they are showing solidarity with their neighbor and coworker who happens to be undocumented. This is progress, and they will be further awakened when Trump attacks Medicaid and Medicare.
