lately I'm seeing "leftist" "pro-Palestine" blogs—either zionist sockpuppets or just self-centered cowards who want excuses to not take action—say that because they're involved in other activism they have no obligation to lift a finger to stop genocide. this makes it very obvious not only that they don't give a shit about Palestinians, but also that they're probably not actually involved in any struggle against racism or capitalism. bc those of us who are struggling understand that not only do we have a moral obligation to stand with Palestine; colonialism and genocide in Palestine are linchpins of the white supremacist capitalist system that oppresses us all, and the Palestinian struggle is currently a "hot front" in our global liberation struggle. directing energy and resources toward Palestinian liberation does not take away from any other struggle, because it's the same struggle—often in ways that are blatantly obvious (as in the case of Stop Cop City and other movements fighting direct collaborations btwn US cops and IOF). the connections are extremely clear and if you're really involved in any liberation mvmts you would probably know this long before Oct 7th! if your activism is rigidly siloed into different "causes" that never touch, you're probably not doing anything that directly impacts the interconnected structures maintaining our oppression
