The successful anti-apartheid movement mapped corporate relationships to identify "pressure points"—companies uniquely vulnerable to consumer action. Democracy defenders today can focus their economic choices on specific strategic targets rather than diffusing impact across many boycotts. #Solidarity

The strongest democratic coalitions create strategic "role division" rather than expecting ideological uniformity. Faith communities, business leaders, youth movements, and labor each contribute different capacities to the ecosystem. Plurality of tactics within a shared strategic framework outperforms ideological purity. #Democracy #Solidarity

The credibility of Germany's red-green government which wants you to believe that it's committed to values like antiracism and human rights is in free fall.

Israel kills dozens of Palestinians on a daily basis, has shut off #Gaza since one month from life saving supplies and has announced another military invasion making the ongoing #genocide even worse. No acting member of the administration in Berlin finds any words of open critique about this criminal behaviour. Most German media support this ignorance by not reporting at all about the carnage or legitimizing it as "self-defence".

Instead of acting like any lawful government should do they instead come down hard on the #Palestine #solidarity movement, criminalizing activists and even try to deport them just like the Trump regime does. This administration has reached the end of its term but the incoming chancellor Merz has already invited Netanyahu to Berlin demonstrating that he is not willing to respect international justice.

As Israel acts in a most brutal and inhumane manner its own credibility regarding its alleged high moral values seems to be unrepairable destroyed. The same will be the result for any German government from now on that holds high the official reason of state supporting Israel no matter what even if it will finally lead to the ethnic cleansing of all Palestinian territories.

"While the world remains silent, students refuse to be complicit in genocide. We stand proudly on the right side of history, doing what anyone with a shred of humanity should: using every opportunity to demand justice for Palestine!
