Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.” Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.

The realization that ppl in 🇺🇸 may never come to is realizing there really is no division due to religion/politics. It's the white supremacy structure that divides 🇺🇸. You get rid of the whiteness structure and you'll be able to find common ground & understanding. None of the latter? No nation.

When the number of terror attacks out of the West Bank were exploding, Israel had and still has a responsibility to protect its citizens with checkpoints, and security in whatever way was necessary for the sake of BOTH Jewish AND Arab Israelis, not to mention Christian, Druze, and Alawite.

Because Israel offered to make all of the “West Bank” Palestine, including East Jerusalem as a capital, holy sites, and a tiny 4% sliver for Israel’s security with 4% of Israel in exchange, and then offered another deal just like it. Palestinian leadership saw those as weakness and attacked.
