2/ and a commitment to embracing a true anti-Zionist politic, which requires we support Al-Thawabet, dedicate ourselves to Palestinian liberation, & work towards a world without the Zionist state & a future without Zionism

1/ Today is the Jewish day of atonement- for those of us who are Jewish, this must/should mean atonement for our involvement/complicity in projects of Jewish supremacy, whether intentional or not,

3/ Anyone claiming Palestinian safety is bound up w/Israeli safety is a Zionist who wants a “liberal” apartheid state where genocide can continue out of view. F that. The goal is a liberated Palestine & the end of Zionism/Zionist entity. Everything else is in service of Empire.

2/ That requires the abolishment of the genocidal squatter state & the freedom for Palestinians to create their own conditions of life, law, & security (including through militarization & the right of return).

1/ Don’t trust anyone who claims “Palestinian & Israeli lives are intertwined.” No they aren’t. Israel is a genocidal settler colonial ethnostate illegally squatting on stolen Palestinian land. Israel should not exist & Palestinians should be free to determine their own future.

Excellent and wide ranging interview with Maura Finkelstein ( @mauraf.bsky.social ). She makes the point that nothing is going to change until we all engage in material buy-in as well as ideological buy-in. It's a tall order for consumer citizens but she's right.

Our latest Special Issue includes a beautifully reflexive article by @mauraf.bsky.social 'Work Cannot Save Us but Let's Still Try: Labor, Utopias, and Futurity at an Equine Therapy Farm' which argues that "workspaces cannot save us, in terms of any liberatory potential under capitalism."
