I’ve seen resounding condemnation from countries and politicians against Bob Vylan for chanting “death to the IDF,” yet virtual silence from them against Israeli occupiers killing a U.S. citizen in the West Bank and Israeli military in Gaza shooting Palestinian teen boys in their testicles.

When empty chants from a harmless musician offend you more than literal war crimes from a nuclear power then you’re not protecting peace you’re enabling genocide.

@QasimRashid Mohammed El-Kurd points out in his book Perfect Victims that *words* in support of Palestine that imply hypothetical violence get so much more attention than Israel's *actual* violence.

As Kwame Ture put it: "If a white man wants to lynch me, that's his problem. If he's got the power to lynch me, that's my problem."
