i recommend. Personally. watching international court cases and being in a removed part of your brain fucking terrified and horrified while you try and remain focused on the facts in the front of your mind so that you can know what the fuck is going on. and then letting that stew to make a list of things you find suspicious or dubious. also recommend then watching a bunch of philosophy all night and going hm fair point and well no i don't think that's true. and then doing the writing three pages thing your good friend suggested to you. and knowing your own naivete intimately. and then i recommend grabbing the a3 newsprint block so that you may make some inconsequential art. which inevitably will help you think. and then i recommend writing again to find out what you think. happy monday guys

#i hope this doesnt sound flippant i truly mean this in the most sincere way possible. i think if we refuse to think or observe we cannot get #the justice sorely needed. and also someone mentioned that they think sa's case is a part of the anc (governing sa party) trying to win back #their credibility as arbiters of justice after being in power for thirty years without delivering on various promises. WILDLY CYNICAL!! but #i don't think that it is unlikely that at least some in the anc are swayed into support of palestine by that logic. election this year #they have to restore an image of their core and founding values somehow. still though i do think those in the legal team at least and probab #ly many outside of it genuinely believe in this cause. and i think that's very important obviously #but ultimately i do think this idea is so cynical as to be functionally useless. did you all see that court footage though. jesus christ #all we can hope is for this to delegitimise israel's stance on the world stage and bring forth the truth. even if they don't achieve their #aims i think this can only be a step in the right e #direction. so. that's good.
