Why are we not winning?

What will it take to free Palestine?

Let’s start with the hopeful bit…

Black bloc protesters threw stones, bottles and paper bombs at the police, who responded with tear gas and water cannons, eventually dispersing the crowd.

At least 30 law enforcement officers and 3 demonstrators were injured in the clashes. FUCK YEAH. THIRTY COPS.

And yet…

From what we’ve observed, this is the biggest amassing of power this year. Thousands upon thousands upon thousands of people came together across the world to march for Palestine and Lebanon yesterday. And yet last night Netanyahu attacks medical facilities in Beirut. During what was already a crisis and overload of the medical care system, medical facilities are closing.

How? How? How?

How can we remain peaceful?

What stops us from fighting back, but with claws this time?

What will it take to end a genocide?
