Thank you for your comforting response and solidarity.

Chomsky claims participating in civil disobedience during the Vietnamese war when they sat in to blockade weapons factories. I am not sure if he was that cushy back then. But that’s another thing. I feel that as a Palestinian American even my form of protest is circumscribed. I’m likely to face more police violence and more negative media press (fake accusations of “violent protests” that make Jewish Americans “unsafe”)

The problem with waiting for the empire to disintegrate is that each month that passes sees one more percent of Gaza’s population annihilated in front of our eyes. I can’t take it anymore. With the appearance of diseases like polio, the urgency is overwhelming.
