   What can we do to help the #Palestinian people. given Trump's stated intentions?

   The first thing is to realize that the US does not have infinite power to carry out its aims. Guerrilla wars and protracted low-tech resistance have handed the US defeats in one war after another.

   These wars are horrible for the people doing the resisting and should be avoided if at all possible. Probably the best way to help prevent that would be for the US economy to crash.

     It's clear that no matter what party is in power, the US will send arms for genocide. Reducing our economic capacity to send those weapons is apparently the only way to get us to stop.

     When people defend good government and the US administrative state, they point out, correctly, that it saves lives -- within the US. It also kills more people than that outside the US.
