    People of conscience disagree with the morality of this “blockade,” which is a nice weasel word by the way, when really what’s happening is people of Gaza are being exterminated while under total siege.

      I disagree with the morality of personalized motorized transportation. Yet I don’t stand on a fucking highway and then make a surprised pikachu face when I get arrested.

      This was what always was going to happen. They knew this was always going to happen. This is nothing to be surprised by, this whole action is just a publicity stunt.

        Do you see how these two are not equivalent though? One is an aggressive campaign exterminate a people, that can be stopped if just slightly more political will is mustered.

        Already, the tide is turning and you have even mainstream voices yapping at Israel to cease.

          1. It’s about the logic consequence of an action, so they are equivalent.

          2. If we go by the logic of “kills a lot of people and can be stopped quickly” then motorized transport is a lot worse. It kills a lot more people yearly and has multiple viable longterm solution that just need to be implemented.

            Do fastfood next.

            But no, I’m not getting into that fight with you, because it’s an argument without heart meant only to sap the will of people to oppose a very real and concerted genocide.

            What do you propose to stop the genocide instead of morally defensible illegal acts?
