This is why I try to create discussions within my mosque, and why I've found campus organizing to be useful. Marginalized communities often don't trust white organizers in the first place, which is fair and something I myself hold suspicion over, therefore there needs to be internal organizing. It's also helpful for white organizers to actually listen to what leftists in those communities have to say about intercommunal contradictions.

Personally I've got some amount of faith that things will go better then we expect the next few decades, but vigilance is important. As much as we all rag on its clear that public opinion has turned against Israel largely due to the efforts of Palestinian advocates winning the information war. Any time I've had tge displeasure of speaking to a zionist among a public audience, they've been thoroughly trounced by their terrible arguments and public disconnect.

It's really amazing, I must say, how easy it is to draw a parallel with Palestine on nearly every issue concerning capitalism, imperialism, and colonialism. People are receptive to it as well, and can be led to make socialist conclusions, on their own even, when you outline the Palestinian struggle.

We are at the start of a paradigm shift in the west at the moment, and I truly believe we can bring this momentum into something tangible.
