When indigenous and formally colonized people from ALL OVER THE GLOBE are showing solidarity with Palestine, ask yourself why you chose to stand with the occupation

“And I’m mocked by friends who say, ‘What use is poetry? What use will it be when the war ends?’ But I’m screaming at a moment when screams can go nowhere. And it strikes me that language must force itself into a battle in which voices are not equal. (…) —But what are you writing? ‘I’m stammering out a scream,’ I answer.”

— Mahmoud Darwish, from Memory for Forgetfulness: August, Beirut, 1982 (tr. Ibrahim Muhawi)

I know it’s not much in the face of everything but I have been finding hope & resilience in palestinian poetry these past few weeks and I created a google drive file of poetry collections by palestinian poets that I will keep updating as I keep on reading. I also recommend checking out @fiercynn’s palestinian poets series for more poets + poetry available online

Yanks are so funny about Hamas coming for the US next, like for what purpose would they even be there? To turn it into the United States of Palestine?
