so when israel bombs innocent palestinians it’s all “ummm ahhh i don’t knowwwww it’s complicated!!!”, but when the yemeni forces are the only group to take action against israel by posing an economic threat to the rest of us it’s immediately air strikes on yemen. okay.
just so we’re clear: yemeni forces were trying to stop a genocide, and the UK and the US respond to that by bombing them
[ID: A tweet by Séamus Malekafzali @/Seamus_Malek posted on January 11, 2024. It reads:
Let it be known tonight that the United States bombed multiple cities in a different country in order to protect Israel from suffering economic damage while it conducted a genocide.
Do you guys notice how when Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers union, started planning a general strike, he did it by a) targeting his messaging towards unions with the ability to safely and effectively strike in large numbers, b) laid out a clear, actionable plan for those unions to follow (setting contracts to all expire at the same time, since many unions cannot strike while under contract), c) is using union contracts to set clear, actionable demands that can be met in order to gauge success and provide an end goal, and d) started organizing FOUR YEARS before the proposed strike date to give people the chance to plan accordingly, because it takes a really freaking long time to get tens of millions of people organized?
You notice how he didn’t do it by slapping a message on Twitter saying ‘hey nobody go to work on Monday, that’ll really show 'em’?
