    I do not think you know too much on the genocide going on to the Palestinian people, which is directly being funded by our gov’t whether it be Trump or Biden in charge.

    Many people see the similarities and stand with the Palestinians due to the struggles both black and Palestinian people are going through.

    Not only black people, but many other groups are seeing how Palestinians are being treated and know that the people causing this problem will not stop with the Palestinians but will continue this treatment to many other groups.

    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
    
    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
    
    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
    
    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
