Its extremely complex and interrelated, and apartheid isn't a incidental "nice to have" secondary issue to resolve "later", to many people its the direct cause of the violence that is dominating the news and breaking our hearts.
This is what a pressure boiler looks like when applied to people with no options and no hope. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wyn7PmwXJxY
thanks for the adjacent lecture but itโs not complex at all
People have spoken out against the Israeli regime many times before without being asked to resign
The whole issue is timing of the comment
If not now, then when? It's never a good time to do the right thing.
Anytime before the attack, though if it was just before they would still have to retract
In a month or two itโll be fine again
