While some boycotts can be about accountability, these boycotts now can end Empire if we are dedicated.

Don’t stop boycotting.

It’s free Palestine, from the river to the sea.

This is not just a famine, but it is forced starvation being perpetrated by Israel and its allies in the West, because their capitalist, colonialist, and imperialist interests are one and the same.

This includes the Palestinian right to return to their traditional indigenous lands.

This includes an end to the illegal occupation of Palestine, and dismantling of the apartheid state of Israel.

This includes the Palestinian right to armed resistance against the illegal occupying force that is colonizing their indigenous lands.

Understand that liberation of Palestine is required and necessary for health and human rights for Palestinians.

It’s also Zionist settler colonialism since the ongoing Nakba began in 1948. Read about the history of Palestine. Listen to Palestinian voices and narratives. Learn and unlearn, and commit to a practice of humility, growth, and solidarity.

This has always been preventable, and there are perpetrators to this crime of genocide. This is Israel’s genocide, funded, armed, and supported by the West.

It’s good that more people are speaking out, but be careful to not fall into their language of normalization of the illegal occupation and apartheid or that somehow the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza is one that was inevitable or came out of nowhere.

Speaking up is not an end of itself, because true solidarity requires meaningful action and sustained commitment for organizing towards liberation for Palestine.
