I've been silent for 21 months of genocide, but this one editorial criticizing Israel will prove I've always been on the right side of history (www.thebeaverton.com)

I’m not sure how chastising someone who gets onboard late is good for the cause. Movements take time to grow and being cliquish about it simply hobbles that growth.

I agree for normal, everyday people. But for the politicians and members of the media that enabled and in some cases cheered on this genocide , FUCK THEM. We can't allow them to launder there reputation with an "oops guess i was wrong" statement and let them keep running this country. If we don't hold them and there terrible decision making accountable then they'll just get us into another atrocity in a couple years, just like Iraq.
