"This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal."

--Aaron Bushnell

The authorities responded on Sunday to an attack in Boulder, Colorado, in which an incendiary device was thrown at a group of walkers who were raising awareness for Israeli hostages still being held in Gaza.

To be clear, this is Not Good. But it is predictable. The violence only moves in one direction for so long before they lose control over where it goes next. This doesnt help Palestinians and it will certainly hurt the movement here. But you can't say you weren't warned, I guess.

Dude the Israeli’s just fired a tank at a starving mass of people. This is a drop in the bucket especially when nobody even died in Colorado. You think they actually cared about the hostages when they carpet bomb Gaza.

How, exactly, does attacking a group of random people in another country 7,000 miles away do anything to help the people in Gaza?

Clutching pearls over a group of people who are actively campaigning for genocide does even less.

This perspective has no moral consistency, and on top of that, you don't know anything about the people who were hurt, or who committed the act.

I don’t have to know anything about who they are. Just by their actions I know that they are, Zionist. Land stealing genocide approving Zionist.

With their constant conflation of Zionism and Judaism, Israel’s actions are actively putting Jews in danger.

Absolutely. And killing Jews indiscriminately only helps them make that conflation. Again its like, this is what we have been warning about, but it is nothing to celebrate.

100%. Going to be an endless revenge loop and the only thing that’s going to happen is a lot of people dying.

I think if Americans want to do something recklessly violent in America to protest the genocide in Gaza, they should focus on complicit Americans and institutions. Its still not gonna help necessarily but at least its attacking actual responsibility.
