The Litmus Test of an Awakened Conscience


 

The Israelis may have been succeeding with the slow strangulation of the Occupied Territories because a twisted sort of modus vivendi had been reached: the oppression of the Palestinians had been normalized. But the savagery of the IDF's reprisals against the people of Gaza has made it impossible to return to the status quo ante October 27, 2023 (the day the bombing campaign began). 

 

History is the record of unintended consequences: the liberation of Palestine has become the litmus test of an awakened conscience and must be embraced in the same way that ending apartheid in South Africa was embraced by people around the world.
