Talk has failed the Palestinians. The relocation and concentration of Palestinians *is complete*, and the genocide phase of colonization has begun.

There's a lot of folks in the activist community who know a lot about the plight of the Palestinians, and expend a great deal of effort sharing that with others. This is a good thing, but it is only a start. Sadly, emphasis on discussion and awareness has eclipsed the need for practical assistance.

Online discussions about "Barak's offer", "Two/One state solutions", "UN 242", are a day late and a dollar short, if not completely irrelevant in the current situation.
Petabytes of "activist discussion" won't increase awareness or concern among those who already aren't aware or concerned. As aware as people are, it is still grossly insufficient to influence our deaf and zionist-compromised governments.

There's a certain attractiveness in trying to "convince" those seemingly innocent non believers such as Peech and Centerfield. Arguing with them can be entertaining - But it doesn't help Palestinians one whit. In fact, the Peechs and Centerfields are Zionism's diversionary forces, who pin, delay, and distract the far larger "armies" of activism.

Play with them as you like, but don't expect any return on the investment of your time and energy. They are here only to distract us.

While we argue and create "awareness" Palestinians starve and Palestine shrinks.
Online chat won't feed a single one of them, or save their land.

ACTIONS, however, will. Send money. Send what you can. If you already do send money, send more. If you can only send a little, send that.

A thread has been created on practical assistance to Palestinians. Some practical and accessible suggestions are listed there. Find the one that works for you:

There's nowhere to go from here, but genocide. By sending Palestinians money, you can help offset and delay catastrophe.

If you already started another thread before about this, then why did you start a new one now?

The usual thing to do is to bump the other thread with a new post.

I'm closing this since it's a duplicate thread.
