I saw the claim that support for Palestine right now is the single biggest showing of global solidarity in world history.
While I have no idea if that's true it surely seems debatable and, more importantly, seems misleading to me. What does that solidarity consist of? On the one hand, what solidarity there's been may well have stopped or slowed a complete genocide from being realized. On the other, *gestures all around* - there's no way to know these things, but a metric of global solidarity driven solely by number of millions of people doing a thing seems suspect - any viral hashtag would have it beat, after all.
