OK, thanks for the heads-up.

Most of us here know that, but many others beyond the Fediverse are still not convinced. Video documentation and expert testimony of horrible crimes is often effective in changing public opinion.
Yes, it did change. But I still think that your concern is misplaced and that the Guardian's error came nowhere close to misinformation.
I should have mentioned the most important factor was the heroic struggle and sacrifice of the Vietnamese people, which did inflict many casualties on the US.
But the massive demonstrations in the US and around the world helped change the consciousness of millions, which ultimately even affected the thinking of the troops fighting in Vietnam. Many times the representatives of the NLF and DRV recognized the vital role of the US antiwar movement.
Unfortunately, both the USSR and China did not do much to help Vietnam, and Nixon was able to play them off pretty well.
Massive and sustained peaceful protests often do work, as they did against the US war in Vietnam. I can't imagine how confronting local Zionists would do anything to help Palestine be free.
Totally wasted sarcasm.
Right here. Biden's policies greatly strengthened Israel and directly helped the genocide.
Is Trump worse? I think yes. But that is still no reason to gloat or to think that endlessly supporting the lesser evil is going to produce any real changes that the world needs.
After reading further, I see your point. Sorry about that.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into checking for the AMP pages. (Never heard of those before, haven't done much with the web for quite a while.)
