BDS has moved from the margins to the mainstream, with cultural, sporting, & business sectors increasingly taking a stand.

Shouk, a US-based restaurant chain offering Izrahelli-inspired cuisine, has closed following BDS.

Gaza a political issue that matters.

Back in LA all the neighborhood GenZ kids bought vintage flip phones from our vintage store because they wanted to disconnect from the internet. It's been a thing for a while

Your word in God's ear. Or "inshallah" as we say

You won't get any Palestinians or Arabs to believe that...but it's good that our allies are optimistic. Someone has to be.

If your instinct is to reply with something like "that would only create chaos" shut down the internet and read Freire's Pedagogy Of The Oppressed instead

The man or woman who proclaims devotion to the cause of liberation yet is unable to enter into communion with the people, whom he or she continues to regard as totally ignorant, is grievously self-deceived.
The convert who approaches the people but feels alarm at each step they take, each doubt they express, and each suggestion they offer, and attempts to impose his
"status," remains nostalgic towards his origins.
Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

Depends on who it is. In artists communities for example it's not cool to be pro genocide, so I've already seen "I was always against this" comments from people who definitely were not

The first Swiss journalist to reach Gaza under the army of genocide lost his temper at the horror he witnessed, saying: “Humanity was destroyed here.”

Humanity Failed the People of Gaza. The international media and investigators must pressure the genocidal state to allow immediate access to Gaza.

All of these organizations should just give Palestinians in Gaza the money. It was meant for them.

Or Mamdani is selling out Palestinians like all the other names you listed. I prefer advocates for our cause who call unserious politicians out immediately. Saves a lot of resources.

I'm just going to have to stop reposting stuff that is not text only, which is a shame. If I have to sit there and forensically investigate everything, I would never get to do anything else

I'm in 34 Palestine/activism chat groups & everybody wants me to repost something all day long (and they're all good people asking me to repost for a good cause). The only way I'm able to do it is by just reposting it because I trust them. If I have to scrutinize, I just have to stop completely

الكسندرا ميراي @lexialex.bsky.social · 6h

Yes I know. We will put pressure on these organizations.
