    Public opinion in the Western countries has shifted a lot against Israel, but we still need to educate more people, and mobilize them against Israel’s genocide.

    i wonder if it'll go back the other way considering things like manufactured consent through the media; the tiktok ban & financed social media's universal ban on gazan genocide (eg bluesky, twitter, reddit, etc.); liberal media likely to be ditched by their corporate owners and then bought by conservative media (eg msnbc); and the republican's decade's long effort at pushing quality education outside the reach for anyone but the rich.

    the success of that last one is so thoroughly resounding that a majority of people in 2 contents collectively turn a blind eye to both a genocide and to the entire world's rejection of that genocide; the democrats have escalated that conflict, but americans still seen them as non-war-hawk and americans also still see democrats as more progressive despite not enacting the equal rights amendment to help protect us from the likes of project 2025.
