If your foreign policy and foreign aid to Palestine are about tweaking around the edges and rearranging the deck chairs of a sinking titanic rather than addressing the systematic and structural oppression and supremacy, then you are part of the problem, not the solution.
In a time where paradigms are shifting, old solutions failing and political project crumbling. It is time to be humble, honest and self critical. Ask yourself: How do I help dismantle a system than make it cosmetically and superficially digestible so I can sleep at night.
Let me be clear: as a Palestinian I am not asking you to solve Palestinian problems. But this system and structure was not built in a vacuum. Your foreign policy and aid props it up and fuels it. This “de jure” annexation will end the facade you’ve hid behind.
The world as we know it is bound to change. Structures of supremacy, oppression and inequality will be dismantled. Are you going to continue be part of the problem or the solution. That is the simple equation you need to grapple with.
