Handala, Naji al-Ali's cartoon character depicting Palestinian struggle and resilience in the form of a 10 year old boy.
Laws meant by the colonizer to justify the murder of the colonized get denied when used to declare their own crimes. We have only a resilience to fight for justice.
At the protest yesterday, I found it curious that there was a bunch of graffiti right below a camera on the LAPD building. Graffiti that was anti LAPD and pro Palestine. Certainly a protestor could have done this, but what happened to all that Israeli training and tech our police forces gobble up? Did they see nothing? They came out in full riot gear and stood there, ready to bash skulls. I think the only thing that stopped them was protest organizers' de-escalation. Was it just a provocation to try and crush dissent?
Who knows? What is known, is the deep links between white supremacy, the Zionist state and US police departments. Strange, isn't it? The most vehemently anti-semitic groups in the US, working hand in hand with those who largely uphold not the rule of law, but the crushing oppression of the masses. No protest movement for the rights of people has gone unpunished by the fist of the state, through the apparatus of policing.
I was asked, "Well if you won't vote for the democrats you're okay with Trump becoming president."
Hah.
I've watched the dehumanization of all people non white. I've seen seemingly intelligent people excuse the deaths of millions by this state, because who cares. You shouldn't care either, because if you don't vote for one genocider, you might get the other and there is no other choice. So let the system burn. There is no good outcome in the immediate sense, of that we are guaranteed, but if something doesn't break and force a change, we're all ruined. That has been promised by both parties in their speeches while running for election. What leverage do you suppose you will have after they have won?
