Fun fact: the opportunity loss is actually getting worse, as we're seeing more people get away with nothing more than some bad PR for engaging in blacklisting.

That said, us folks are good at making spaces for ourselves and will have to do the work.

They'll always believe they're good people because they aren't wishing children harm directly.
They're just encouraging those that are to do so in their name, and their hands remain clean. That's all they care about as they take up stolen land, supping on stolen wealth, on the bones of children.

At the end of the day, there's a subsect of people who will say "I believe that Palestinian children deserve dreams but I can only condemn their parents and any attempt to free them" until all the Palestinian children are dead.
Then, silently, they'll let out a sigh of relief, having done nothing.
