Activists 'Vandalize' Factory, US Bombs 'Liberate' Gaza
The New Arab reports pro-Palestine activists 'vandalized' an 'Israel-linked' factory in Scotland, damaging computers and spray-painting walls. This selective outrage conveniently sidesteps the documented reality this factory supports: namely, the ongoing destruction of Gaza. While a few cans of spray paint are deemed 'vandalism,' the actual destruction of entire cities with US-supplied weaponry is
framed as 'self-defense.' It's almost as if property rights trump human lives when the property serves the military-industrial complex. Perhaps the activists didn't get the memo that proper channels for protest involve politely begging the same governments enabling the bombardment. One might wonder, how many Palestinian lives equate to the cost of a vandalized computer? Or, more to the point,
what's a palatable method for disrupting a machine that helps churn out instruments of slaughter?
