    The USA was built by slaves on other people's lands. Looting is a common characteristic of all colonial racist power. Palestine, the Holy Land, was looted by European colonial Ashkenazi Jews who ascribed to the racist idea of Zionism. More and more people increasingly understand the racism that is manifest against African Americans, Native Brazilians, Palestinians, Muslims in Kashmir and so many others. that the racists are a class of elites profiting from this. The 1% (actually 0.01%) against the 99%. This is becoming more and more obvious because racists band together. Modi is a friend of Trump, Bolsenaro and Netanyahu. Increasingly militarized US police forces are trained by Israeli military (in turn funded by US taxpayer money). The elites in government have been exposed as hypocrites; the emperor has no clothes. The elites toppled governments in dozens of countries to have other elite fascists rule those countries. The elites support Israel's ethnic cleansing and apartheid colonial policies, support lunatic dictors in countries like Saudi Arabia (killing his own people and people in Yemen and elsewhere) while hypocritically claiming they care about human rights in Hong Kong!.

When some complain about methods of protest they know the spectrum of resistance is wide  and that while many of us support popular resistance, we understand the reality of structures of power. No colonial-anti-colonial struggle was free of violence because racism/colonialism is inherently violent. Natives and oppressed people barely register on this scale of violence. And colonialists even use false flag operations to tarnish resistance (here is video showing an outsider destroying property confronted by demonstrators http://youtu.be/OR8zIkbuDEQ   ). But again looting is done a million times more by the elites against the common people every single day.

George floyd's murder was followed by the murder of Iyad Halaq in Jerusalem by Israeli police. Over 100,000 Palestinians were killed by the racist colonial settlers.  Iyad was heading to his special needs school (he suffered from autism and had a mental capacity of a 6 year old according to his family). The killings will continue until we the people put a stop to it and dismantle the structures of racism that makes this possible.

Joe Biden and the so-called left Zionists will not dismantle racism, they will entrench it. Trump and Netanyahu are actually better for us since they are more transparent and less "diplomatic." But whatever happens, it is clear that cosmetic changes are not sufficient. It is time for a worldwide revolution. If these protests that ignited in the US will not succeed in dismantling taht system, then the next murder of another George Floyd or another Iyad Al-Halaq would ignite others until the system changes. And no, the system will not "reform" itself. The question for each of us: will we be spectators or activists.

Note in May alone 177 palestinian posts were eliminated by facebook exposing the lie that facebook is not censoring Palestinian voices and facts (from Sada social media watch group). Zukerberg lies about facebook not censoring.
