Most people in France can't afford housing.
They didn't blame immigrants, or transgender people, or video games, or avocado toast.
They blame the government. Because that's who's responsible. That's always who's responsible.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the US is objectively the bad guy in virtually every war in its history.

In Iran 7 men raped a women at a university and their sentence was to right a term paper. Oh Sorry that was in the United States of America at Cornell University.

Anyone who wants to help desperate Palestinian farmers in the West Bank fighting for their very survival should consider googling @Zaytoun_CIC for the most delicious olive oil ever... and also spectacular Mejdoul dates, amazing smokey freekeh and best of all, their unbelievable zesty zaatar.

Being aggressively pro-Palestine is the most efficient way to weed all the worst people out of your life.

Yet another prominent public figure grandiosely and confidently denying the genocide in Gaza and then promptly defining genocide completely incorrectly.
The Genocide Convention says nothing about ‘percentage of deaths’.
Galloway: As a Jew, I find it entirely unfair and not accurate to describe what’s happening in Israel as a genocide.
El-Sayed: When people use dehumanizing language against a people, when they bomb their hospitals and schools, when they attempt to displace them from where they are…that seems to me to be deliberate targeting. So I would ask you, do you understand why somebody who’s been thinking about this question, looking at it, connecting the dots between the language that is used and the outcomes that were created, would then label it that way?

"As a Jew, it's not genocide because it doesn't fit the definition of genocide I literally just made up right now" - Scott Galloway

Scott Galloway tells El-Sayed that using the term genocide potentially justifies a genocide against Jews. El-Sayed responds:
1) Do we have to wait until more people get killed?
2) Calling something a genocide does not justify a genocide. That is not the argument anyone's making.
3) Neither you nor I are scholars on genocide. I leave it to scholars on genocide in Israel itself who've called this a genocide.

If you find yourself saying
‘I’m not taking sides’
during a genocide, you are.
You most definitely are.
