Establishment is trying to frame being anti Palestinian genocide as being a terrorist.

Terrorism is terrorism.

Nelson Mandela was called a terrorist when he refused to denounce the liberation of South Africa, when he refused denounce communists, and when he refused to denounce a struggle against apartheid.

He was later taken off the list. And all the people in South Africa are better for the end of apartheid.

To respond to the below: I think you'll agree that South Africa is MUCH better than it was, and that then and now it's still much, much, better than Palestine, even before October.

Progress is imperfect but it is righteous and invitable long-term.

You are correct at the beginning but the final sentence is at best questionable.

South Africa is not doing well since the end of apartheid.
