I just want to say that Israel murdering members of the Palestinian resistance is illegitimate, and we should use proper language around this issue.
For a long time, I was bothered by the reference to civilians when it came to counting the murdered, because implicit is the idea that Israel murdering resistance fighters is somehow okay. It's much like the way that the reference to women and children implies that the killing of men is okay.
Whether Hamas, Jabha, Shoyouiyyeh, etc., they are also civilians. They are indigenous, armed civilian resistance movements against a belligerent, expansionist, foreign colonial cancer.
Dr Walter Rodney was assassinated on June 13, 1980, by a bomb planted in a walkie talkie. He was 38.
His key work, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, exposed the roots of global inequality and the violence of colonial underdevelopment.
@Variety If one guy can become a trillionaire because of a financial maneuver, then I don’t know how people can’t see this as proof that our economic system is a sham.
The future is bleak for Israel.
As boomers die off, a new generation that despises Israelis will run the world.
A generation that sees the Palestinian cause as central to their moral identity.
A generation inoculated against propaganda and unfazed by being called antisemitic.
