Arabs and our lives aren't just convenient tools for you to prove your hands are clean and your politics pure even though you live in the heart of empire. We are people with hopes and dreams, we are people whose lives generation after generation have been destroyed by greed and power and empire.

Watch all the prison release videos from Syria. Let Syrians feed you a taste of freedom. Imagine your own society opening its doors and borders. Imagine being free one day yourself, truly free. That’s what this moment invites.

A white man literally strangled a Black man in the middle of the day on public transportation in front of tens of others who egged him on.
Then he got acquitted.

The British Empire liked to crow about fighting Nazism while guilty of genocide in India, Africa, & Ireland themselves. Equally, they loved to fight socialists, the people fighting all oppression.
They had more in common with the Nazis than they’d admit.
The same is true of U.S. liberals today.

Amnesty International declared Israel’s actions in Gaza a genocide. Now watch as the ruling class attacks AI. No civil society institution is safe. Not human rights groups or universities or non profits. What wouldn’t they destroy to defend Israel’s right to exterminate Palestinians?
