Fully identifying with the Palestinians means sacrificing your own identity. For a Nazi concentration camp guard to identify with an inmate would mean to throw away his "humanity."

Whoever has participated in, facilitated, enabled, justified, promoted, rationalized, excused, equivocated, erased, silenced, hidden, concealed, or provided cover for genocide has sold their humanity at a paltry price This includes those who tell us to vote for genociders Repent and join the fight

What the liberal establishment and the far right fascists ultimately have in common is the view of the masses not as people but as bodies for them to use and control: for the liberals as a commodity in the production of wealth, for fascists as slaves to dominate.

What moves something, what motivates it, is what always eludes it. The "profit motive" is supposed to be sordid and base when compared to real human values like love, beauty, and freedom. But the profit motive *is* love, beauty, and freedom, the very things that remain forever beyond its grasp.

The whole point of having states and governments is to limit the power of individuals. If we allow individuals to become so wealthy that they effectively become political powers unto themselves, that defeats the purpose.
