    The second point is that we should not allow those that had direct support of this genocide to pretend that they were against it from the start.

    I don’t think that’s the meaning of the quote… Kind of the opposite, really

    It means the tides will shift, and suddenly it will be socially unacceptable to harass mixed race couples. The people who would have thrown rocks at them decades before will be inviting them over for dinner and cooing over pictures of their grandchildren

    It’ll be a faux pas to bring up this change, even

    There is no justice for a genocide. There’s no way to even the scales, and people are almost never punished for going along with the group consensus

    At best, the killing will stop and a handful of leaders directly responsible will be held to account. Maybe some examples will be made of a few IDF soldiers. Maybe international peacekeepers will be installed in Gaza and the West Bank, there’s a small chance Palestine is granted statehood due to overwhelming international pressure

    Maybe, maybe, there will be a congressional inquiry into the part arms manufacturers played here, but nothing will come of it. No one is going to go after Biden or Congress members over their role… They’ll just have always been against it secretly, and everyone will ignore their voting records
