#mutual solidarity

[reframe-recast-rewrite]

You know they're a real one when they'll hit pause on their day in a place that is 2 countries and a whole-ass sea away from you, literally stop everything so that they can just be there and patiently, generously, receive your texts as you split multiple times in quick succession in a public library, and they ask all the right questions at all the right times, so that your host can find their way back to centre and the universe which had threatened to fly off its rails is now safely back on track. Fucking hell, that's a true friend right there.

What better allies are there than those organized around their own needs and demands, a functional and not merely charitable alliance?

It's possible now to discuss issues that we couldn't ten years ago because we didn't know each other's stories very well--as communities or individuals. Today, I'm optimistic about the potential for closer relationships and more effective mutual solidarity. Toward this end, I pose this question to Palestinian solidarity activists on Turtle Island: 'If you were a settler living in Palestine right now, what would you consider to be your responsibilities?'
