I removed the non-member posting pro-genocide propaganda from our
mailinglist. I have conversations about this topic every day and could
easily respond to everything they said, but I don't think this is the right
place for it, I still choose to believe that the vast majority of people on
this list, and who are part of our community, are united AGAINST APARTHEID
and AGAINST GENOCIDE. If people want to discuss the propaganda post, my
email inbox is open and we can have 1:1 or group emails but I believe this
list is not the place for it.
Anyone who wants to learn about what's happening right now can get on the
internet and look at "both sides" and see for themselves who's doing all
the killing and who's doing all of the dying, and who has dropped more
bombs than all of WW2 (as of a YEAR ago
<https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/amount-of-israeli-bombs-dropped-on-gaza-surpasses-that-of-world-war-ii/3239665>
).
The fact that the people of Gaza are presently facing siege and famine on
top of being openly hunted by Israeli troops (and ISIS fighters funded by
Israel
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaboration_with_the_Islamic_State#Israel>)
makes it all the more important that we focus on doing everything we can to
end this one-sided slaughter, and at the very LEAST sign the Anti-Apartheid
Pledge as a community.
Let's talk about this again at this upcoming Wednesday meeting. It's sad
that we couldn't have agreed on this when it was originally proposed ten
days ago
