    leave the country. You are paying taxes, purchasing goods and services, raising families, and just being here enables the genocide machine to continue churning. We have no representation here. It’s all performative. But take their money away and oh boy do they notice that.

    Talk with people! Discuss it with your friends! Be aware that they might have a very different outlook on this, so be patient with people. Here is a list of things to do when discussing this with people supporting Israel:

    • Don’t berate them. These are your friends, not murderers. Direct your anger towards the actual murderers.
    • Ask them if they believe Israel is mounting a heavy disinformation/propaganda campaign towards the west. If they do not believe this, it is relatively easy to prove, see example below.
    • Show them the Twitter accs of Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. These guys are quite outspoken in their intentions.
    • Show them examples of heroic acts of Palestinas, rather than just Palestinians suffering. This will help them respect Arabs, as that seems to be difficult for many Americans due to two and a half decades of Indoctrination that all arabs all terrorists.
    • Also the obvious things (tens of thousands of children killed, not letting food enter, cutting off water, etc)

    Example of Israeli disinformation: They created a fake hamas website (hamas dotttt com) whereas the real website was taken down from all of internet (hamas dottt ps). The fake one was heavily promoted by Israel’s official twitter acc and several Israeli government officials on twitter and recieved heavy traffic during Oct 2023-end of 2024. Use the wayback machine or similar for this, I believe both sites are down now.

    There has also been many, many other lies by the Israeli government. Find proved examples and show.

    • get a sniper rifle
    • train to take out targets at a large distance
    • know where and when ICE will be, especially where they will muster before one of their “raids”
    • in many cases, there will be little to no difference between ICE and LEO. Both are putting on brown shirts and violently attacking their own communities.

    Fascism can only be perpetuated when fascists do not fear being killed. If you are not with them, they will gladly kill you – it’s time you took steps to protect yourself and your community.

    I don’t know, but I know of one thing citizens SHOULDN’T do to prevent their country enabling genocide. That is forfeiting their future by electing a dictator that might genocide poor people on the other side of the world a little less in exchange for giving up freedoms. I get it. Voluntarily making our lives worse because it might help poor people in another country sounds like a grand and noble thing to do. But now they’re sending American citizens to concentration camps. If you think this was a fair trade, just block me right now. Don’t be like gen Z and swing voters in the 2024 US election. Sometimes you just have to choose to save yourself first.

      60000 gazans had died by june last year according to the lancet. Remind me who was in charge then?

      This is shocking to me. The person is genuinely asking how to stop genociders and some rando comes and tell him to vote for them.

    Unless you’re a billionaire or willing to go full Player 2, there’s nothing you can do on a macro scale.

    You can, in your little slice of the world, do good things. When ICE asks you if you’ve seen someone, you tell them you haven’t. If you’re walking past a business getting raided and see a brown person, you tell them to turn around and get away. If you run a school and ICE shows up, you stand up for the kids they’re trying to kidnap. If you see ICE kidnapping someone, at minimum, film and post it. If there’s a group of people willing to physically intervene, join them.

    That’s it.

    Voting doesn’t solve this because all Democrats have to offer is strongly-worded letters, and trump uses those letters to wipe Elon Musk’s ass. Their choice was aiding and abetting fascism or getting richer, and they chose the money.

    Next election vote EVERYONE OUT. No Republicans (MAGA) should be left in Congress to make sure they give a hell to Trump and force him to quit (almost near impossible) but that’s the only way

    Speak up, tell people what you think and why.

    If that doesn’t work: something was added to your constitution for this situation, the second amendment. You can use your six shooter to go up to the government’s tank and gunships. Good luck.

      We don’t put it in the tourism brochures, but it turns out guns are really expensive. Which sucks because the fash seem to have all the money at the moment.

    Not much that will have direct actionable results tbh but it doesn’t mean you should not a proper position within your abilities.

    Boycott, awareness spreading, voting but that’s even more limited

    Just generally going into opposition v the two party regime that ensure that there is viable way to stop us support to Israel
