We've seen 20 months of genocide in #Gaza, and along those 20 months we have seen the international institutions do shit. The highest court in the world, the #ICJ, hasn't done anything to stop it. The #ICC ruled a detention order against Netanyahu and he's walking free as if nothing. The UN security Council has seen, literally, more vetoes than resolutions on Gaza.
Israel stopped both the #FreedomFlotilla and the #GlobalMarchtoGaza
International authorities and State power appear powerless.

in reply to argumento • • •The only exceptions being #Yemen and other, non-State actors (Hezbollah, etc.) ( #Iran has a very strong pro Palestine policy, but it didn't enter the war with Israel over it, but over being directly attacked by the entity).
We should draw conclusions from this. We should reflect on what it means that the international institutions and the world's States can't or won't 'do anything.
What does that mean. If institutions won't act, who needs to do it, and how.
argumento
in reply to argumento • • •For me the answer is very clearly that we need direct action, no representative or professional activist or what have you can do what we need to do DIRECTLY, by our own (collective) hands. And secondly, that if these governments and institutions don't act in our behalf, if they are the tools that carry out the genocide and the damage control over the genocide, then we need to get rid of them. Those institutions should not exist.
There is no justice, just us.
