"For Palestinian parents, the natural act of loving one’s child is done in the unnatural conditions of occupation, apartheid & genocide. In these conditions, love fuels resistance."

-@hebagowayed.bsky.social in "We Grow the World Together"
(Earlier version appeared in @inthesetimesmag.bsky.social)
A page reads: they were all gone, too? The massacre in Gaza is so much more than an aggregate count of lives. It is the loss of collective memories held in those lives—of events, of people, of places. A loss for which gener- ations and generations to come will continue to pay the price. In the face of a colonizer intent on the destruction of their nation, of seventy-five years of unrelenting violence, Palestinians have insisted on sumud, unwavering perseverance. That they will be free in their land. That they will grow and bear fruit like the olive trees that they plant.18 Gazan children deserve more than survival. They deserve more than to simply be unmolested by the whims of tyrants. They deserve futures, joyful futures. They deserve to babble and giggle with their parents. They deserve to live free, from the river to the sea. For Palestinian parents, the natural act of loving one’s child is done in the unnatural conditions of occupation, apartheid, and geno- cide. In these conditions, love fuels resistance. To care for a Palestinian child is to abhor that they have to play under the buzzing of drones. To worry about them is to fight for their right to walk to school unthreat- ened by Israeli bullets and bombs. To dream for them is to topple the borders that confine them, that cut through land that should be theirs to freely roam. To be Palestinian is to be an abolitionist. And to be a Palestinian abolitionist is to fight for us all. The technologies that police, incarcerate, and kill the children of Palestine, the children in Gaza, are exported globally to kill migrant children at the techno- logical fortresses that make up the borders of nation-states, to spy on dissidents who fight for better tomorrows for us all, to police student activists at places of learning everywhere. None of us are free until Palestine is free. The earlier, original version of this essay appeared in In These Times magazine in January 2024.

White people

Imma need you to come in really really closely

White is an identity politic

And your fave writers who “were tired of race” but suddenly know we need to not talk about race

Are just racists they aren’t smart

A good chunk of them are plagiarists as well
