Everyday is the most brazen atrocity that I can imagine. I feel terrible for dealing with shit going on in my own life. Mostly because it feels so insubstantial to the absolutely vile things that are happening to the most vulnerable people across the world from me. But it also makes me feel helpless, like I've gone out, protested, and campaigned for local issues that haven't changed things in the slightest. What is to be done about atrocities that far away?
Like the Irish rep to the EU said, this should end with Israel as a pariah state, but even if that's the case it's little solace in the face of the bloodshed in front of us.
Any sane UN with actual power would turn Israel into a economically blockaded state at a minimum, the same that has been done to Cuba at the behest of the West. Instead the US must protect it's small sociopath state in the Middle East at all counts.
