Warning: Cynicism
I am a part of a left org that has been putting efforts into showing support for Palestine. A lot of demos, speaking at city council meetings, pressuring agencies to support a ceasefire, etc.
I'm considering bringing it up to comrades that maybe this has run its course. The IDF has been moving South and is now in Rafah. The only thing the US has done is issue "concerns" that have been ignored; the US has not stopped funding the war. How much destruction is there left that we as American activists are even trying to prevent?
Tell me I'm wrong. I want to be wrong. I just see comrades putting their efforts into this for emotional and not practical reasons at this point.
No, but common misperception. During the 2000 election, the WWE did a JUST VOTE campaign and sent The Rock to both conventions. He said he was there for bipartisan reasons but the GOP gave him a more plum spot at their event (introducing Dick Cheney) so many people perceived him as a Republican after that even though Biden in 2020 was his first ever official public endorsement.
Also, funny story about that campaign. The WWE actually was doing a bipartisan "Rock Tha Vote" campaign in 2000 until the night before the election. Then Jerry Lawler went on Monday Night Raw and went on a diatribe against Gore/Lieberman because Vince McMahon told him to.
