Again, to me the the thing that's really standing out is that all our leaders went for it, literally equating opposing aparatheid and genocide, like, in general, with terrorism and violence and... everyone just kinda said "naw."
The mayor of Toronto was calling a Palestinian Youth Rally "Hamas terrorism" the other day and that went out like a lead balloon.
Something IS different this time; what that means, I cannot say. But they can't just wave it away and shout "terrorism" anymore. That's gud
