Democracy is about compromise. Only dictators get their way every time. Vote for the best realistic option and if you're not satisfied with that then find additional ways to push for change. Protest, organize, make a podcast...

That genocide (it's really more of an ethnic cleansing) has been going on for decades and Joe's been pressuring Israel to tone it down. It's not enough but there's too much public support in the US for Israel. There would be serious political consequences for him and his party if he pushed for much more than that. Hell most of his party wouldn't even support him if he went much further.

Also not having fascism is a pretty big deal in my book.

It costs nothing to play and you might be able to avert the worst outcome.

Well, unfortunately it seems your choices will be genocide denial or genocide enthusiastic endorsement. Anything else is a statistically almost impossible.

Why would I ever want to bank with Twitter, especially while that mentally unstable idiot owns it?

And Israelis hate Palestinians because, in their desperation Palestinians turned to terrorism, also Palestinians are in their way.

If this is how they treat the press, who have the ability to document and report their mistreatment, imagine how they treat the people they have grown up hating and are seeking revenge against.

They want to go out in "a blaze of glory" rather than fade away. Israel has been clearing them out slowly and nobody is stopping it, but if Hamas provokes Israel into doing it quickly maybe that will generate enough outrage that the world will try to stop it.

Star Trek has been utopian space communism from the very beginning.

Science fiction has always been a vehicle for exploring woke ideas. Separating an issue from its current context allows the audience to set aside their biases and look with fresh eyes.
