So I’ve been debating whether to buy a “Free Palestine” shirt or a “From the river to the sea” shirt. I think I’ve settled on the former. Of course, my heart is with the later, I think it’s the better and more correct message.
But, I’ve been asking myself, what’s the purpose of even wearing it? I’m hoping that it will be useful to find likeminded people and maybe even engage strangers who want to understand what’s going better (I’ve been shocked by just how many people out there will admit they don’t know the first thing about Palestine, but if you seem like someone who knows things they will listen). As much as I love the “from the river to sea” chant, I think its message is completely lost on anyone not familiar with what’s going on there. I think it will just get ignored because those words have no meaning to 98% of Americans. But “free Palestine” is a simple message that tells people “hey this is something I care about and I might know a thing or two about it.”
Probably overthinking it but w/e.
Call me crazy but I find it very difficult to care about presidential election when we’re on the cusp of two potentially global wars that both candidates are all but promising to see through.
I’ve not seen @TeezyZeezy@lemmygrad.ml for a while. Hope everything’s okay.
Man, this week has been an absolute NIGHTMARE. Thank god it’s over. Hope everyone is doing well!
