Yes, Steven! As oppressed people, we recognize the oppressor in its many forms. Allies need to respect and learn from those most intimately oppressed. Our liberation can never be dictated by oppressors and their sympathizers. Fuq zionisim! Fuq yt supremacy! Fuq the heteropatriarchy! Free Palestine! Free ALL oppressed people! 🍉
In Solidarity, Disruption, and Gratitude ✊🏽🔥🙏🏽

Some critical Indigenous grounded intellectuals use in writing and speech terms such as so called canada, so called guatemala, so called chile, so called the united states, etc. Because Indigenous peoples had names for their/our lands and territories.

Sad to have missed this live but what a lovely and thoughtful conversation. So, so heartening. Also... can I place my vote for the use of the phrase "so-called Canada" here? I love that!

I think "JSIL" is more direct and to the point compared to "the Zionist entity".

Yes, say more about about the river to the sea…….. it’s one teeny strip of land that has been usurped for over 100 years (Khalid)….. for what? Lives matter……
