“Resistance is the foundation of human reproduction as a social being.”
Palestinian, Lebanese, Iranian mothers do not send their sons off to fight because they love death. No, they love life. And they understand resistance is a precondition for life, that the fate that awaits us all when we cease to resist is far worse than the consequences one faces for resisting, even if it is martyrdom.
Resistance cannot just be understood as the act of firing off the rifle or missile — it is the community that nurtures and reproduces the resistance fighters, that hides them when they are pursued, that refuses to leave their land, that rejects cooperation with the enemy, that constitutes the social basis for the continued existence of the resistance.
