I just want to share some positive news related at least in part to the resistance movement and that is the effect of the Boycott/Divest/Sanction (BDS) movement against Israel. It is playing a major role in tanking the Israeli economy with corporations pulling their investments out of the country and even Israelis divesting from their economy to try to shield some portion of their personal wealth.

You can learn more of how BDS is playing a role in this good 10-minute overview video on the crumbling Israeli economy:

I know all this is hard, but whatever we are experiencing isn't even a shadow of what the Palestinian people are experiencing in Gaza and the West Bank. We need to speak for those who can't speak or are killed. Pus. Resist. Expose the cruelty and venality of the Israeli/US cabal.

Be ready to rally Americans when Congress rips away what few benefits Americans have to prop up the collapsing Israeli economy.

Spot-on, Mark: it's indeed absolutely morally atrocious the extent to which average spoiled Westerners think it's worse to bring up the right-wing Judeonazi Holocaust against the Palestinian people than the very fact that our taxpayer dollars are being poured into the Zionazi death machine.

A while ago, a "friend" of mine IRL (not that he was ever a sincere friend anyways) said that he's trying to "stop reading the news because it's full of negative stuff." IOWs, he was too comfortable with his plentifully spoiled and luxurious life to be even slightly mentally disturbed by what our country is funding in the Middle East. Too many people in typical American day-to-day life are like this, I'm sorry to say.
