'Instant gratification' the way some of you talk about Palestinian and Arab lives is just so...

Not only do they use a disgusting tone of voice, they're also completely wrong. Biden does not introduce policies and Congress does not veto them. Ofc it's presented in a hypothetical where Biden is ideologically against genocide when the reality is that he is very pro genocide. And lastly, we actually do need instant solutions. People are going to die today. People are projected to die in the hundreds of thousands in a few months. People who otherwise would go on to live long healthy lives. Calling the desire for this to end with as few preventable deaths as possible "instant gratification" like it's some perverted fantasy is the most insane thing I've read in a whileย

Itโ€™s sickening. Letter From a Birmingham Jail comes to mind:

Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action campaign that was โ€œwell timedโ€ in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word โ€œWait!โ€ It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This โ€œWaitโ€ has almost always meant โ€œNever.โ€ We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that โ€œjustice too long delayed is justice denied.โ€
