Yet another 🧵 1 of 7

So, I know I keep saying that I'll drop out of the U.S. campus anti-Joe Biden protest movement debate. I jumped in since I worry so much about our climate crisis that anything that might help out the GOP is something to worry about.

I've seen now how small the anti-Biden movement actually is despite how loud they are I'm not so worried except that since I monitor what motivates voters in the USA the true tiny size of this crowd may belie their political danger.

If you don't like reading threads or if you want to read it faster than I can copy and paste it, the reason I'm posting this thread is because I found a blog that clearly articulates the concerns everyone that cares about human rights and especially climate change should consider around what they say and do this election year.

So, here's the link and I'll try to respond to thoughtful and respectful discourse, but if you just want to vent perhaps skip it.

Please keep in mind that even unintended consequences can cause real harm.

Advice for Protesters and especially professors:

1. Participants and provocateurs outside your campus may not have your best interests in mind.

2. The US/Israel relationship is complicated. Deteriorating relations have the potential to cause unrest throughout the Middle East, (even worldwide).

3. The problem isn’t the Israeli people, the problem is Benjamin Netanyahu. He is a narcissist and a fascist.

4. Your efforts have the potential to hurt President Biden in November, ushering in a second Trump term. Trump supporters know that, so please reread #1.

5. If you think things are bad for the Palestinian people now, with the Biden Administration trying to restrain Netanyahu, put Trump, a fellow fascist, back in office. Netanyahu will be free to do as he pleases.

Publisher's note: If you care about human rights focus your ire on the Likud Party and not the Democratic Party!

@GreenFire number 5. Absolutely spot on. I daren't even begin to imagine.

I wish that people would really, truly think about what is in the best interest of the Palestinian civilians rather than what seem to me to be mostly hot takes driven by emotional responses to images and videos firing up their always simmering hate of the USA's history.

Yeah, our history isn't great. No country's is, but we can still have a good future if we try and do it right.

@GreenFire @capnthommo What's in the best interest of the Palestinian people?

I wish Palestinians finally had the freedom to decide to no longer be the pawns in the hands of corrupt, self-serving Palestinian nobles & princes, misleading their alleged subordinates into hateful wars & atrocities with no end & no perspectives to ever have a peaceful & prosperous future beneficial to all of them & all Middle Eastern peoples.
