"The normalization, the acceptance, the embrace, the belief that a settler-colonial project can be reformed, can be saved, that it's somehow not rotted to the core, needs to be combated. When you normalize the right of one settler-colonial project to exist, you're letting colonized people know that your solidarity is conditional... Any excuse you give for normalization of a settler colonial project is fundamentally a betrayal to colonized people all around the world, especially when you yourself are a settler... Let me make this plain: If you accept 1776, how are we to believe that you reject 1948?"
-Deculturation, "Superman, Colonialism, and Decolonization!"
We are at a moment in the genocide of Palestinians where even those directly, tangibly implicated in the atrocity are unable to deny the sheer scale of death.
This doesn't mean the tide is turning on public perception. Instead, it just means that the specific aim of propaganda used to justify these conditions is shifting.
Netanyahu denies outright the widespread starvation, and Trump meanwhile acknowledges starvation but blames Palestinians and argues for more US "food centers" in Gaza. These two discourses are happening concurrently while the the US and Israel are working together to block actual aid from reaching Gazans and funneling everyone into GHF death traps.
GHF is run by a longtime agent of US imperialism and a prominent evangelical christian zionist, and these "aid" sites are staffed by privately contracted mercenaries. They are located near Israeli military posts. Every single day these sites are used to massacre starving people.
Pay attention. There is no real disagreement happening. There are many forms of genocide denial, and many forms of genocidal propaganda.
If someone claims to be opposing Israel's genocide of Palestine but they do not oppose the colonization of Palestine, they do not support a free Palestine. If people will argue for aid and ceasefire, but will not argue for the right to return and for the abolition of Israel as a settler-colonial state, they do not support a free Palestine.
Messaging that objects to the current moment without recognition of the structural context is normalizing propaganda. This functions as an international pressure valve, allowing the global north to maintain an illusion of moral authority and to scale back to tactics of genocide just beneath whatever drew international attention. They present themselves to the "solution" of the atrocities produced by their control.
One cannot sincerely oppose genocide without opposing settler-colonialism. Settler-colonialism is inseparable from genocide in its goals, practices, and ideological justifications.
We must fundamentally object to the settlement of Palestine, and never let colonial propaganda to distract from the demand of liberation from the river to the sea.
My friend Ahmed is only 16 years old. Two years ago his home was destroyed by Israel, and his family has been homeless, displaced many times, and lives in a tent. He is disabled, his brother is injured, and they struggle to afford medicine and food.
Yesterday the occupation cut off the water to his entire area. The global humanitarian nutrition advisor for CARE, an international humanitarian organization fighting global poverty and hunger explained: "We have seen, from case studies of starvation, that it takes up to 60 days before the body fully shuts down if the person has access to water. If you don’t have access to water, you can die as quickly as three to five days."
Israel bombed the infrastructure center and the sewage and wastewater destroyed their family's already dilapidated tent. They desperately need to buy a new tent and to get access to water as soon as possible.
Adding insult to injury, tumblr recently deleted Ahmed's blog. His new blog is @ahmedaldaniii and his fundraiser has been vetted by @gazavetters, number 198 on the list.
