you damn bastard I have this exact screenshot in my clipboard right now how dare you beat me to the punch

It's incredible. no I didn't read it either.

Per Dr Eleanor Janega, Rome guys are continuing the Roman tradition of pondering the last ‘cool’ empire. Romans pondered the Greeks, now Americans ponder Rome. I think a lot of the Rome/Greek pondering in America was about justifying slavery. Hence why there’s a Parthenon in Nashville. The Romans were a “democracy” with a slave underclass, so it’s actually cool and normal to do that.

I think she figures that Israeli people, being normal and good people without hate in their hearts, will eventually put enough pressure on their own government, whether by or by protest, to end apartheid. She is also full of despair, because that seems highly unlikely. We have had many discussions

So, I’m not really talking to anybody who feels this way, at least about Palestine, but my lib partner who supports a one-state solution but feels a bit less enthusiastic about violent resistance, has been talking to our Zionist or ex-Zionist friends about Palestine. She’s very concerned that I will say something that will cause them to freak the fuck out.

She’s also concerned that since I’ve put a Palestinian flag poster in our window, that those friends can’t come to our house.

I don’t know how much she’s projecting her own anxieties onto her friends vs. how they’d actually feel, but it’s definitely a source of stress in our relationship right now.

Thanks for the background, I had no idea that foreign fish industries were raiding their waters.

It’s unclear whether Israel cut off communications by bombing in general or if Israel did it by bombing this specific building. I guess we’ll never know who is to blame

FUCK BOB RAE

Someone cares about the patch enough to manufacture them, distribute them, and wear them
