"..our prisoners need only one thing from us: everything. They need to be eating breakfast on the table they grew up on. Watching their children grow. Listening to a bird’s song. The homecomings we witnessed were a glimpse. The thousands more are still waiting for theirs."

"I no longer see this as a conflict between Arabs and Jews, between Israeli and Palestinian. ... I have become convinced of Ali Shariati and Frantz Fanon’s divisions of the world [into a colonial camp and a liberation camp]."

"Look at successful liberation struggles. They were able and made a lot of use by recruiting from the settler population. ... Algerian resistance... at its strongest was able to recruit among the settler population, Fanon talks about this very clearly."

decolonization is not for "Man"

an interesting social investigation report, talking with many Indigenous people in the US southwest. most interesting sections are toward the end, “Where is the Native Left?” and “We fought the US before, and will need to again, soon”

"...being a Muslim is an expression of resistance, a refusal to adapt. ... Being a Muslim and queer is not a burden, but an act of resistance."

"Palestine is therefore a spearhead for fighting all the oppressive systems, it is the litmus test whether or not we have the potential to break them down and build a new world together."
Youssef Moursi
druhasmena.cz/en/articles/...
"Let's be honest: parties won't stop the ongoing genocide. ... When activism is never associated with any risk, when its main goal is entertainment and does not meet resistance, it poses no threat to the system committing war crimes."
Youssef Moursi

"In the end, our compass and moral guideline is Palestine and the people who are actively fighting against colonialism. Palestine is a permanent symbol of resistance and the beating heart of our struggle against colonialism."

get into Youssef Moursi's writing:
"I realize more than ever that resistance begins in the community. ... We stand together, hand in hand, united in our collective struggle against the machines of imperialism and colonialism."

White Americans love abandoning anything as soon as they are inconvenienced in any way whatsoever. Zero courage, zero principles. And if you’re reading this i’m talking about you

reading about indigenous approaches to [restorative?] justice, found "Dakota Treatment of Murderers" by Ella Cara Deloria, 1944:
"1. Immediate reprisal killing of the murderer...; peace-making optional.
2. Trial by ordeal.
3. Adoption of the murderer..."

Letter from Children of Darkness

"In childhood,
I made my siblings
a tent of pillows
and blankets.
It would fall on us,
and we’d laugh.
The tent walked us far,
out of the house
and the homeland.
It fell on us,
and we died.
Next time,
I will make my siblings
a homeland
that returns them home."
