if you are afraid to talk about palestine ask yourself why. will you be in danger? as palestinian people are? will an occupying army come into your house in the middle of the night and arrest you for mentioning the tragedy of palestine on social media? is it because you might be perceived as radical for asserting that an occupied people have a right to live free from oppression and death? is it because you feel you don’t know enough to speak out on the 60 days of relentless bombardment in 75 years of ethnic cleansing?
here are some resources to educate yourself:
- The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, Ilan Pappé
- The Question of Palestine, Edward Said
- Gaza: An Inquest Into Its Martyrdom, Norman Finkelstein
- Except for Palestine: The Limits of Progressive Politics, Marc Lamont Hill & Mitchell Plitnick
- The Hundreds Years’ War on Palestine, Rashid Khalidi
- Justice for Some: Law and the Question of Palestine, Noura Erakat
- Freedom is a Constant Struggle, Angela Davis
- Journal of an Ordinary Grief, Mahmoud Darwish
what’s happening is wrong. it is unjust. and we are not powerless. this goes triple for usamericans. it is our weapons, our military aid, and our country’s unconditional support to the apartheid state of israel that is making this genocide a reality.
use your voice. speak the truth. it always matters.
