Opposing segregation and racial inequality abroad is a core Black political value. This cut deep with Reagan and South Africa, and now with Biden and Israel. x.com/stephenwertheim/status/1763983741070823694Permalink On twitter.com

On my trip with my mother to the graveyards and homelands of our Jewish relatives in Poland in 2002, the unexpected 2024 pleasure of seeing the town on film from 1937, and the haunting shadow of Jewish death in Palestinian suffering today. woborders.blog/2024/02/27/suwalki-1937-2002/Permalink On twitter.com

Bolivia is a country that has mastered the art of self-sacrificial protest, something that is valued even when simulated, as in these tiring but not damaging self-crucifictions and hunger strikes with rotating participants.( x.com/ErbolDigital/status/1762604203585806412Permalink On twitter.com

Re: protest suicide and the alternatives… In April 2000, four Indigenous members of the Colombian legislature began a hunger strike. One week later, the National Indigenous Organization of Colombia wrote this letter asking them to "stop the collective suicide" Here's why…Permalink On twitter.com

One thing Aaron Bushnell's self immolation reveals, and forces us to confront, is the mind of someone who has chosen to place his life alongside those being killed daily with our country's weapons. And to declare that his life isn't worth more. This alone disrupts normality.Permalink On twitter.com

If you think that Islamist suicide bombers are Islamist, and misogynist mass shooters are misogynist, but Aaron Bushnell was mentally ill and not an anti-imperialist, maybe you're making up a diagnosis because you disagree with his politics.Permalink On twitter.com

I don't judge Palestinian Americans unwilling to vote for Biden now, any more than I would (hypothetically) judge feminists if Biden was locking up 200 women a day for having abortions. The solution to voter revulsion is to change the candidate or the policy that's losing them.Permalink On twitter.com

The most appropriate role for an airman to respond to "indiscriminate bombing" (Biden's words) is to patrol a no-fly zone to prevent a city from being destroyed. But our country didn't give Aaron Bushnell that option.Permalink On twitter.com

Think about the standard that led to the UN imposing an arms embargo on South Africa… in 1964. The US voting to make it mandatory in 1977. And the US actually ending arms sales in 1986.Permalink On twitter.com

So, a competent but still immoral Biden administration could have said we're conditioning aid2Israel on not bombing the health & food infrastructure, on restoring electricity & water service.

Given the choice between being a minority who defends itself by insisting on equal rights for all, and a local majority in a land with second-class citizenship for others, I'd choose the former, despite the price in safety. x.com/BriannaWu/status/1760319252639195401Permalink On twitter.com

At least 67 Palestinians were killed in airstrikes designed as "a diversion" to rescue 2 hostages. My faith in a humane future will be increased each time I hear an Israeli say this is a trade they refuse to accept. I'll add statements when I see them. But 0 so far. pls RTPermalink On twitter.com

I'm seeing lots of responses that amount to "Of course we can't risk our lives to save their lives." Which isn't a moral case at all.
