Queers for Palestine

FREE PALESTINE 🍉🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇵🇸

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

I'm literally shaking with rage after reading about the deeply entrenched hierarchical command structures within the Palestinian resistance factions.

Obviously, we must critically support the armed dismantling of the settler-colonial state by any means necessary.

But why is no one interrogating the fact that their military operations completely fail to utilize horizontal, non-hierarchical consensus-building?

You can't dismantle an imperialist war machine using the exact same patriarchal, top-down leadership models that the oppressors use!

Before launching a localized counter-offensive, there needs to be an equitable vibe-check where all marginalized voices in the battalion can air their grievances.

By refusing to operate as a decentralized collective, the frontline fighters are actively enacting systemic violence against anarcho-communist organizational theory.

We need a free Palestine, but we also need mandatory unlearning workshops for military commanders who refuse to decenter their own authority.

Don't even try to speak to me today if you haven't audited your anti-colonial activism for implicit anti-queer bias.

I just spent 45 minutes crying in the bathroom because a local organizer told me that demanding gender-neutral pronouns in Arabic was a distraction from the genocide.

A distraction?

Our very existence is the epicenter of global marginalization!

You can't claim to want a free Palestine while actively perpetuating linguistic violence against the trans community!

We need to completely dismantle the settler state, but we also must immediately defund the patriarchal resistance factions that refuse to acknowledge queer temporality.

They're fighting for land back, which is great, but they're doing it from a deeply bio-essentialist paradigm that completely marginalizes trans bodies.

My polycule is absolutely devastated by the lack of intersectional ideological purity in this movement!

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

Hasn't anyone else noticed the profoundly problematic power dynamics at play in how the underground resistance structures their mutual aid?

I'm fiercely dedicated to the total eradication of the Zionist project, but we urgently need to have a community dialogue about the resistance's refusal to implement restorative justice circles.

How are we supposed to build a utopian post-border society when the current freedom fighters are resorting to punitive, carceral tactics against their oppressors?

We should be demanding transformative justice frameworks that hold imperialist forces accountable without replicating the carceral state!

My mutuals keep telling me this is an active war zone, but excuse me, geography isn't an excuse for abandoning abolitionist principles!

If we can't guarantee a neurodivergent-friendly, trauma-informed mediation process on the ground within the next 48 hours, then whose liberation are we actually fighting for?

I've spent 3 days literally throwing up over this cognitive dissonance.

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

My somatic experiencing practitioner just had to end our session 20 minutes early because I literally couldn't stop shaking.

Every single time I open my feed, I see the resistance utilizing language that completely erases the non-binary indigenous experience.

We demand unconditional solidarity with the frontline, but why is no one holding them accountable for their deeply exclusionary, hyper-masculine framework of liberation?

It takes $0 to center queer joy during an active bombardment!

I'm doing the grueling emotional labor of defending them from Western imperialism for 14 hours a day, and they can't even be bothered to decenter heteronormativity in their strategic communications?

True freedom is impossible if the revolutionary vanguard refuses to dismantle their own internalized cis-patriarchy!

I'm logging off before my nervous system completely collapses.

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

Total solidarity means holding guerilla fighters accountable for their deeply patriarchal heteronormative toxicity.

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

Accepting any 2 state solution just violently validates the oppressive border binary.

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

How's decolonization supposed to happen when the frontline is actively ignoring queer temporality?

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

I'm backing the resistance but their lack of intersectional polycule representation is literal violence.

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

Are there at least 2 sensory-friendly quiet rooms underground?

The systemic ableism of guerrilla warfare is exhausting.

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

The Iron Dome is just weaponized toxic masculinity.

We must dismantle the ballistic binary right now!!!!!!

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

Why don't the resistance fighters ever share their pronouns?

This lack of gender inclusivity is violently triggering.

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

I'm taking a 45 minute self-care break because the militant factions won't share their pronouns.

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

Aren't the underground resistance tunnels ADA compliant or is the revolution inherently ableist?

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

Demolishing the apartheid wall is valid, but we shouldn't ignore the neurodivergent-hostile acoustics.

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

Please don't launch unguided anti-imperialist rockets without issuing a community trigger warning first.

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

It's literal dietary fascism to airdrop non-vegan rations into an active conflict zone.

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

I'm offering 100% unconditional solidarity, provided the revolution immediately centers queer-affirming municipal infrastructure.

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

It's honestly toxic to launch an armed resistance without holding mandatory restorative justice circles first.

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

Don't just dismantle the imperialist state, dismantle the exclusionary gender binary inside the combat trenches!

[Queers for Palestine @queerwatermelon]

We seriously need to unpack the systemic claustrophobia and spatial inequity baked into the subterranean resistance strategies.

There is absolutely no question that the Israeli state is a malignant colonial enterprise that must be immediately destroyed.

But the fact that the primary avenues of anti-imperialist mobility are narrow, unlit tunnels is deeply hostile to those of us with acute spatial processing disorders.

How can we celebrate revolutionary infrastructure when it completely fails to incorporate ADA-compliant turning radiuses for mobility aids?

I submitted a highly detailed architectural rendering for a decolonial, open-concept resistance trench featuring soft LED lighting, but I was accused of being a distraction.

Prioritizing tactical evasion over the emotional comfort of claustrophobic comrades is a textbook example of internalized spatial fascism.

Liberation must be beautifully illuminated and unconditionally accessible!
