This is often asked about horrible events in the past. I think that question has been clearly answered these days. When people are live tweeting their own gen*cide and yet it continues. Too many of us have traded in our humanity for a bit of comfort from oppression. Many have accepted their oppressors self claimed role of godhood in their lives and bowed down before the various golden idols. Stop bowing before the oppressors! Don't lie down with them for a bit of comfort! For they offer you a slight reprieve now, but the cost is your soul, your humanity, and the comfort they offer will pass like fog in the morning.
“While succumbing to the sedative of consumerism is commonplace during the holiday season, this year, such distractions will not halt our commitment to our values of freedom and justice. We pledge to counter the colonizer’s Christmas capitalism with our mobilized solidarity with the Palestinian people.”
