Is what's happening in Gaza solely Israel's fault? - Sopuli

Is what’s happening in Gaza solely Israel’s fault? Or is it also the fault of billions of people who do nothing? Not because they support it. But because silence and inaction make us complicit. The world sees. But it doesn’t act. The excuse “what can we mere mortals do?” doesn’t work today. Today, social media exposes what mainstream media hides. In the EU, at least 12 countries are blocking protests or arresting pro-Gaza protesters. Why do they do it? Because they only have to arrest 1,000-10,000 people. Would they be able to do it if there were 10-100 MILLION protesters? In which prisons could they put all these people? This is why 4 boats aren’t scary. This is why 10,000 protesters aren’t scary. So there’s a solution to stop everything: we just have to act. But it takes millions of people; four activists, a rant on Instagram, or a like aren’t enough. A like is useless. In Genoa, there was a torchlight procession for Gaza involving 40,000 people. As an Italian, I ask: where are the remaining 58,950,000 Italians? Likes on Instagram? Anyone who doesn’t act now is complicit. Everyone, no one excluded. Patti Smith said in a song: People Have the Power. It’s true. The power is there, you just have to use it. Otherwise, you’re complicit. Note: Post removed before it was even published. The server predicted the future. Or maybe it was afraid of the truth. The Italian Uncut proudly claims to have been shadowbanned from X and Instagram and banned—yes, banned—from three “decentralized” Lemmy servers (Social, World, and Beehaw) that pretend to fight the mainstream system but imitate its procedures. Reason? Spam. Or maybe fear of making people think. Who are we? We can’t say. Otherwise, we’d be advertising ourselves and providing an excuse to be banned for spam. Administrator: You should ban us because you don’t want to hear our voice, because you’re a censor, not because you’re hiding behind the excuse of spam.
