See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

I think the basic problem… is a real lack of understanding of what the Civil War was and what its consequences were and the fact that we live with it even today. And so, I support the removal of the statues, but I just want to make sure that we’re not skipping over a conversation by taking down symbols and saying, ‘OK, that’s nice. That’s over.’

So many people have been imprisoned. So many people have gone into exile because of the repression in Egypt. Civil society is under an unprecedented attack. So it’s very hard for people to get together. It’s also very dangerous to try and organize in a real way… although you do see pockets of resistance that rise up. There was a case about two islands that Egypt gave to Saudi Arabia sovereignty over, and there was a massive protest about that, and a favorable court ruling that was recently overturned. Doctors came out in full force after some members of their syndicate were attacked by police. And that had an effect in the court, as well. So you do see these moments of uprising. But in terms of cohesive movement building, I think we’re still a long way off.

The United States pressures, threatens, and in many cases bribes other countries to do what the U.S. wants. And that’s happened more on the question of Palestine and Israel than any other question at the United Nations.
