The fact that a lot of Americans are now saying “Huh maybe we shouldn’t have invaded Vietnam.” Is a small comfort to the innocents slaughtered, the families torn apart, the lands destroyed, the children deformed from chemicals like agent orange, etc. Yes, the minority became a majority, but have you ever heard of the saying “too little, too late”?
Maybe I should have said “not immediately relevant”. People like the original commenter and myself are simply remarking that the majority of the protestors don’t care about Palestinians. At worst, they are for it, and at best they just look the other way. The portion who are vocally against it are important, but again, they are a minority. That’s the comment on Israel, that the majirity of the country simply don’t care for the Palestinians. And this time, unlike in Vietnam, when it becomes too late, there will be no more Palestinians.
Of course they’re relevant! They need to be encouraged! Saying it isn’t enough just makes them stop protesting.
A minority protested the Vietnam War and kept doing it until minds started to change.
