Now we are facing a paradoxical situation in which the perpetrator is Hamas and the Palestinians, and the victims are the Israelis. And this is a reversal of reality. It’s like a Nuremberg trial in which, instead of the Nazi crimes, were judged the Allied atrocities perpetrated by the U.S. and the U.K. aircrafts.

I prefer to keep it vague and chit chatty because I’d like it to feel like a natural common sense solution next time they themselves have a what the fuck moment over some policy or over price fixing or over whatever is getting them worked up.
“If things get too bad, we can always walk out en masse and bully the state into changing course. The economy needs us all working or it doesn’t work.”
I want more lay-people saying at the dinner table “you know what might work? A general strike.”
