Gee. I'm so sorry if the genocide Israel is carrying out against the Palestinians is "tiresome," to some people. But imagine it was happening to you and your family. What if Trump wins the presidency, and finally gets to enact the fascism of his dreams and comes after ALL who opposed him in the past.
As you are being systematically wiped out, will it be okay for the rest of the world to be "tired" of hearing about it?
"First, they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Palestinians, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Palestinian.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
As the millions of people who protested the insane genocide of Palestinians did on Saturday, SPEAK OUT, while you still can.
