@geneva_convenience it's easy to justify complicity of the people because of fear.
I live in south of France with large number of Moroccans living here.
These people are out of reach of the dictator but chosing to stand behind, support and ignore the ongoing genocide
I have seen a few video's of large Moroccan protests against the Israeli normalization, especially at the harbor.
I think this is a question of Morroccans not knowing what their government is up to. They need to be better informed.
A lot of these countries require themselves to free themselves from their dictatorship before they can free Palestine. But they are very much unaware.
@geneva_convenience I understand how it feels to live under a brutal dictatorship. I lived under 2 of them.
Problem I have with Moroccans, Saudis, UAEs and sadly most of the other Arab nations, is that they don't even act when they live in western democracies.
@geneva_convenience
It's easy blaming everything on government, but I have had very unpleasant discussions with store owners of north African origin and my former co-workers about their lack of action, refusal to participate in something as simple as boycotting Israeli products.
They all talk about supporting Palestinians but something simple like not selling Israeli dates or jafa fruits gets them angry and upset.
@geneva_convenience
Some go even further in their disgusting hypocrisy and pretend those products are made in Spain or Morocco.
Were they young people or boomers?
@geneva_convenience I have no idea what the Fuck does that mean.
They are people of all ages, some lived most of their adult lives in France
