If you are looking for direction and how to counter the genocidal commitments of our leaders, the most important thing you can do right now is engage with Palestinians reaching out to you. Yes, it is about donations, but it is also about staying connected in these darkest moments
The zionist-amerikkkan death machine has struck at the Palestinians with unimaginable destructive force for nearly two years. They have destroyed the vast majority of the built Gazan environment, and massacred and maimed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians
But what this death machine could not break is the will of the Palestinian people. Their attachment to the land of Palestine, their commitment to one another, and their belief that the good people of the world stand with them and welcome their resistance and eventual liberation
So here the Zionist death machine turns to psychological warfare to try to make up for where there bombs have failed. They tell the Palestinians, see the world does not care if 100 of you are killed per day, neither will the world care if we remove you from this land
So just give up and leave. But of course we see Palestinians, as a whole of society, have refused. They refuse to leave their land, and trust in their resistance to continue defending them, as they cradle the resistance. And when the steadfast on the land are struck and wounded
The doctors of Palestine tend to them, even when they can barely stand from hunger, the journalists of Palestine speak their pain to the world even when they themselves have lost their homes, and the fighters protect them even as they share in the hunger pains
So show the Palestinians that the death machine is wrong, that you will forever stand with Palestinians refusing to leave their land. That you will support their steadfastness and help them survive and rebuild a liberated Palestine, the beating heart of a just world to come

You cannot effectively oppose the zionist war on Iran by drawing a distinction between the Islamic Republic and a generic category of the Iranian "people." To do so is to reproduce the ideological basis of regime change. And to do so at this moment is unforgivable.
The first, fundamental point: the zionist-imperialist war on Iran is being waged to destroy the state structure - the Islamic Republic - that was historically produced by the Islamic Revolution. This revolution, which remains in motion, is premised upon overturning...
the material and ideological basis of imperialism-zionism in West Asia. This is necessary for the region to achieve substantial sovereignty. That the Islamic Republic has been uncompromising on this question is the sole reason it has been attacked by the West for the past 45 yrs
We are reaching an existential moment for the whole world. Israel and the US empire are showing that they would rather destroy everything good in the world than even make the smallest amount of space for Palestinian life. What are the forces that can arrest this process?
Look at the world being put forward by Amerikkkan Zionist alliance. Murdering Palestinian babies everyday, after having forced them to endure starvation and bombardment for their whole lives. All so that Palestinians will submit and leave their lands.
Yes, it is true that the Palestinian resistance, both armed and unarmed, has shown a courage and steadfastness with which we would struggle to find a historical parallel. And Hezbollah, AnsarAllah, the Islamic Republic, have shown us what it really means to be in solidarity.
Zionist impunity has reached such a point that they feel totally emboldened to burn a humanitarian aid ship bound for Gaza while it was in European waters. They know the collective West will look away, even now more than two months into a total siege on Gaza.
The world the West has on offer is to either accept permanent Western rule, to accept colonial subjugation, or to be subject to bombardment, besiegement, where even the burning of food to intensify starvation is permitted.
Any future for humanity now relies on the capabilities of AnsarAllah, of Qassam, of PIJ, of Palestine Action, of those struggling to disarm zionism and defeat US led Western imperialism.
See the difference between these two worlds in the strikes today:
Let us state the problem clearly: In the final instance, it is not Israeli impunity that is the culprit, but American impunity.
The question is not that of pressuring the US as a mediator to bring Israel in line. It is, rather, of a greater power that can bring the US in line.
What we face at this moment, is that such a power simply does not exist.
There is no force on the planet that can challenge the US directly in such a way as to end its impunity and in so doing end the genocide.
It may be the case that other states, or combination of states and non-state actors, have capabilities that theoretically could challenge US impunity. But in practice, these actors have shown clearly that they refuse to match American willingness to escalate via its Israeli proxy
As contradictions become acute, we must have courage to meet this moment with what it is calling for - a convergence between principled solidarity with all Palestinian resistance and defence of comrades in the imperial core being persecuted by being associated with resistance
At stake is not a liberal right to speech, but the very heart of the struggle for Palestinian liberation. The legitimacy of Palestinians to exercise form of power - armed resistance - that is basis of Palestinian sovereign reclamation and end of israeli genocidal colonialism
The normal response has been to defend comrades by reproducing the distinction the colonizer and imperialist imposes between "good" Palestinian solidarity and "bad" Palestinian solidarity - ie between those who work within the supremacist zionist framework and those who reject it
This performance seeks legitimation from imperialism, and thus must by necessity take recourse to the imperialist requirement that phenomena be analyzed without consideration of the structural framework within which they exist.
Speaking of equal application of laws only makes sense when equality among and between actors is the given premise. Marx already taught us long ago the difference between formal and substantive equality before the law, and so should this distinction apply to...
Formal and substantive duties imposed by law. How can you assume there to be a generic, or abstract, actor that exists and is bound by law in a world riven by the imbalances of power wrought by imperialism?
