The way I sat there screaming with the crowd.

Something we should all understand almost a year into a genocide is that what israel means by "peace" and "ceasefire" is for Palestinians to completely submit and be ethnically cleansed. Anything short of that is unacceptable to israel, evidenced by their consistent shooting down of actual peace talks and negotiations.

But israel's attitude and actions is a microcosm of its imperial overlord's attitudes and actions, and especially the united states. "We don't negotiate with terrorists" is precisely what encapsulates this idea. No negotiation, only capitulation. Who is a terrorist? Anyone we want. This idea steeps into the average usamerican, knowingly or not. That's why nominally progressive people attack Palestine protestors, abstainers, third party voters. "Peace" means "vote for my candidate because xyz and if you don't, you're [word you can sub in terrorist for]". An economic base of imperialism begets a superstructure of imperialism which reinforces that economic base.
