White supremacy and corporate death machine greed are profiting off of the genocide of a people full of love, creativity, generosity, care, and faith. Palestine will be free.

As a US citizen my tax dollars are being used to support a racist occupier military and distribute bombs and weapons that no one should be allowed to fabricate let alone use. We’ve seen children bombed to pieces. Their body parts gathered in bags by grieving parents. Eyes popped out of sockets, limbs amputated with no anesthesia, heads collapsed, toddlers shaking from shock, hungry dogs eating loved ones. Homes, livelihoods, places of worship, hospitals, schools, everything demolished to rubble. And more unthinkable violence.

On top of all of the violence that has been occurring before and since 1948 for generations. This enrages me in my grief. I will not remain silent because that is what white supremacy requires of me: to be complicit in this genocide and land grab. If you are curious to participate in this global movement for life, land, faith and love, but you are scared or confused on how to get involved, let’s talk. Liberation, safety, care, and self-determination for all people!

Palestinians teach life. The People of the Global Majority are with the movement for global liberation from colonization, racism, dehumanization, exploitation, extraction, violence, death. Manipulation, ignorance, fear, greed, militarism, white supremacy are (some of) our enemies.

Through this time I am reflecting deeply on my European ancestors’ participation in the colonization of the lands and people of Turtle Island, and how I can bring justice to that legacy of harm, while loving and honoring the earth I am on. We all say: No justice, no peace, and Land Back. More white Americans need to see how we are directly responsible for this struggle for freedom from western imperialism and learn about life and love and resistance and dignity and faith and solidarity from Palestinians and their allies. Big love to all of the folks out there engaged in everything and anything to show up and demonstrate our interconnectedness.
