    I think if you asked most Americans who Netanyahu is and what he is doing you’d get a blank stare.

    Idk about that. His name has been in national news for decades. Like, maybe somewhere behind Vladimir Putin and Kim Jung Un in terms of US visibility.

    How any of this gets corrected is beyond me

    Say what you will about the Trotskyists, but they looooved making newspapers. I don’t think there’s a shortage of modern Alt-Media, either. Not hard to get an earful of press about the state of the world. What’s much more tricky is coordinating actions, particularly at the local level. There is not, to my knowledge, a Houston-centric news organization that does a good job of organizing and orienting local people on municipal issues. But I’m a white atheist professional worker out in the suburbs, so its very possible I’m just out of touch with what more radical and well-connected folks in churches and labor unions are up to.
