Been reading more about ancient Yemen for this, and it just occurred to me that the other major terminus for the Incense Route that formed the basis of Yemeni civilization was Gaza, the closest port on the Med.
In the context of the genocide and Yemen's response, it all clicked. It's all connected.

![Aromatics from Dhofar and luxury goods from India brought wealth to the kingdoms of Arabia.[12] The aromatics of Dhofar were shipped out from the natural harbour of Khor Rori towards the western inhospitable South Arabian coast.[13] The caravans carried these products north to Shabwa and from there on to the kingdoms of Qataban, Saba, Ma'in, and Palestine up to Gaza.[14] There is also evidence to support that products from the Dhofar region were traded with the Sumerian-Magan people of Dilmun and Qatar [15] as the Sumerian people used some of these resins for medicinal purposes.[16] The tolls levied by the owners of wells and other facilities added to the overall cost of these luxury goods.[14]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4s4ivkb523dolwkskbauvcyx/bafkreifinmjiwbrpska5yrmz4nkt2p7ecdxczlhc3nd4y64yhi5vcpi6ly@jpeg)

"chastising people won't win them over" is an extremely obvious political reality that centrist dems don't seem to grasp, which is notable because their entire pitch is that they're the ones who grasp obvious political realities
I say this in all sincerity: If your goal is to maximize left support for the Dems in the November 2024 elections, the LAST THING YOU WANT TO BE DOING in November 2023 is to putting up snotty social media posts dunking on leftists who are saying they might sit the election out.

part of the reason that centering the gaza discourse around hamas is so fruitless is that there's no group of people on this planet who, if placed into an open air prison then bombed and starved for decades on end, would not develop militant movements with insular, reactionary politics

Gaza is showing the rest of Palestine the truth of struggle
At a time when the rest of Palestine languishes in a post-political, post-Palestinian nightmare, Gaza shows us that Palestine is now alive everywhere.

I once had a white South African roommate. The things she said, like "it was a fair split of land," "they destroyed their part bc they're savages," "we had to protect ourselves from their violence," I was only 19 and knew it was bullshit. What's the excuse of educated adults now?

Palestinians in the West Bank have been under lockdown since the 7th. They have only been out of their homes a few hours at a time, they are out of money, almost out of food, and are constantly attacked by IOF-backed settlers. Their villages have been razed, but they’re still protesting for Gaza.
Keep your eyes on the West Bank. Every Palestinian brave enough to take to the streets will be subject to IOF/Settler attacks.

Of course Israel is going to claim their hospital atrocity was the fault Hamas. When the Israeli military deliberately targeted, shot, and killed Shireen Abu Aqleh, the Israeli propaganda machine also at first claimed that Palestinian militants had shot her.

Started Sept 1968 in Oakland, CA at St. Augustine's Church, the aim of the program was to address the challenge of poor children in Black communities going to school hungry.

this thread is really interesting bc it shows how the BPP, an explicitly communist organization, used mutual aid to put demands on the racist state; when the state set out to kill the BPP and succeeded, those demands were folded into the state apparatus itself
