Just like Hitler didn’t carry out the Holocaust on his own, neither is Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza being carried out by Itamar Ben-Gvir and Netanyahu alone.
This is a nation state commiting a live-streamed genocide supported by the taxes of people in the US, the UK, and Europe (especially Germany).
We are all complicit and we will have to live with the collective shame for generations if we fail to stop it.
Stop the genocide!

This fact is so obvious, so salient, that it’s become a core pillar of how we organize. White people have a bubble of relative safety that we can either deny exists, or can extend to those more vulnerable. ICE agents don’t hurt white people in the same ways, and have actually told some of us that to our faces.
