Haidar Eid’s “Banging on the Walls of the Tank” reveals a disturbing but irrefutable reality: the world has abandoned the Palestinian people to be annihilated as a people in the most calculated and brutal fashion possible.

The U.S. and Israel are preventing Gaza reconstruction in order to prevent Palestinian return. The only way to stop this is to commence the full reconstruction of the Gaza Strip immediately, regardless of what Israel and the U.S. have to say.

Spain, Ireland, and Norway recently made headlines for recognizing the State of Palestine. But the only effective policy for any state recognizing Palestine is also the diplomatic and economic isolation of Israel. There is no other way. 

Palestinian resistance is a decolonial struggle against Israeli settler colonialism and U.S. imperialism. This resistance is also confronting the brutal nature of colonial modernity, which is exemplified in Zionism.

The opposition to a “pro-Israel” position is not a “pro-Palestine” position, but rather a decolonial justice position. This is the position that not only captures the reality of conditions in Palestine/Israel but also seeks to transform them into something new and something just.
