If we could stop judging politicians solely on their Israel-Palestine stance; that would be lovely.

Don’t get me wrong, I do believe that ones stance on Palestine can definitely reflect their values in general

BUT

I don’t think we should just ask
“are they pro-Palestine?” & then stop.
We should not want leaders who are pro-Palestine yet comfortably oppress others. When we judge politicians, we must judge them holistically

Joe & Kamala are problematic for a host of reasons - to the point where even if they *were* pro-Palestine, it still wouldn’t compensate for their complicity in human rights violations.
We need to be calling for global human rights

The problem with hypercontextuality is that we start becoming 1-issue people.
I don’t want leaders who agitate for Palestinians rights ONLY. I want leaders who enforce human rights in every single situation regardless of ideology, religion, geography, sexuality

For majority of our lives the Palestine conflict has been the biggest & most significant. Hopefully that will one day change with the eventual liberation of Palestine.

& then other oppressions will be most significant & we have to be committed to fighting for that liberation too

Being pro-Palestinian can never wash the blood from your other oppressions off your hands
