Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto politics @lemmy.world•Fear and Quiet Resistance Amid a Los Angeles in Turmoil1·17 days agoYes, sorry, I fixed both of them.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto Palestine@lemmy.ml•We must face reality — the Gaza War is now a war of annihilation5·1 month agoYes, it always was, but the fact that staunch Zionists acknowledge it now is another step forward in public opinion, and will make it politically more difficult to attack the Palestinian solidarity movement.

Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•Gaza paramedics shot in upper body ‘with intent to kill’, Red Crescent saysEnglish2·3 months agoMost of us here know that, but many others beyond the Fediverse are still not convinced. Video documentation and expert testimony of horrible crimes is often effective in changing public opinion.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto Palestine@lemmy.ml•Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and didn’t mention Gaza once. That’s no surprise | Judith LevineEnglish31·3 months agoYes, it did change. But I still think that your concern is misplaced and that the Guardian’s error came nowhere close to misinformation.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Backed by Trump, Israel Shreds Cease-Fire Deal and Kills Over 400 Across Gaza | Common DreamsEnglish11·4 months agoI should have mentioned the most important factor was the heroic struggle and sacrifice of the Vietnamese people, which did inflict many casualties on the US.
But the massive demonstrations in the US and around the world helped change the consciousness of millions, which ultimately even affected the thinking of the troops fighting in Vietnam. Many times the representatives of the NLF and DRV recognized the vital role of the US antiwar movement.
Unfortunately, both the USSR and China did not do much to help Vietnam, and Nixon was able to play them off pretty well.
Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Backed by Trump, Israel Shreds Cease-Fire Deal and Kills Over 400 Across Gaza | Common DreamsEnglish13·4 months agoMassive and sustained peaceful protests often do work, as they did against the US war in Vietnam. I can’t imagine how confronting local Zionists would do anything to help Palestine be free.

Peter Link@lemmy.mlBanned from communityOPto News@lemmy.world•Backed by Trump, Israel Shreds Cease-Fire Deal and Kills Over 400 Across Gaza | Common DreamsEnglish83·4 months agoRight here. Biden’s policies greatly strengthened Israel and directly helped the genocide.
Is Trump worse? I think yes. But that is still no reason to gloat or to think that endlessly supporting the lesser evil is going to produce any real changes that the world needs.

Peter Link@lemmy.mlOPto World News@lemmy.world•'We'll own it': Trump wants to make Gaza a holiday hub without PalestiniansEnglish12·5 months agoYeah, he was so much better than Trump. /s
