    That’s American, Jewish voters surveyed last fall. 68% support land swaps, an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, Palestinian return from the diaspora, and financial/population restitution.

    A lot of regular people get swept up into the default of supporting the concept of Israel and protecting the lives of the 6-7 million Jews living there, but the topic has so many land mines and risks of misunderstanding that people don’t delve into the topic openly. But if you look for it, there’s a lot of silence from folks who are uneasy about the direction Israel is headed.

      this is the terrifying thing about hegemony. the ruling class uses it to convince people to think things are normal that aren’t. racism is only 400 years old. across the globe societies had trans and non binary people until colonialism arrived in their place. so called “barter” societies that predated currency weren’t using resources in inefficient systems of trade, they were just sharing with eachother because compassion and love for our neighbors is far more default and natural to us than religious leaders want you to think.
