I didn’t want to direct this question to Americans specifically because, at this point, other countries have shown support to Israel in one or the other way. If my country was financing this, I would be taking the streets. Shit, I’m right now in the hospital but all I can think about is protesting anyway just to feel I did something to stop this madness.
Are you doing something about this? Are you feeling unsettled? How do you feel about all this mess?
EDIT: So, buying Chinese stuff takes the USS Gerald Ford to Gaza’s coast. Also, TIL that that chocolate my cousin gave me when she was 20 and I was 5, (delicious stuff!) made me a slavist-ish. The fact remains, this genocide is being paid and supported by taxpayers money; of course, I was hoping that most of us didn’t pay taxes wishing for this. Thank you all for your responses, some of them were hard to swallow.
Call your congressperson and senators. They might not listen to just you but the more people call the more their positions can be moved.
Thom Tillis’ laughed in my face when I called about net neutrality. I think the Israel/Hamas conflict would be the same.
My old congressman wrote me a letter back with telecom industry talking points when I did the same. I wrote him a reply stating as much and told him he should be ashamed for either not understanding or ignoring the full scope of the issue. I’m glad I have a congressperson who is actually pretty decent now that I moved.
