'Mowing the lawn' and why Zionism will never win.『芝刈り』とシオニズムが決して勝てない理由。

A poem for those mocked and gaslighted for decrying the genocide of the Palestinian people.

I can only imagine that if we collectively understood permanent global war, genocide, and racialized houselessness are core tenets, or in other words, a necessity of the capitalist political economy, we could better diagnose the crises of our time and move accordingly. Liberalism has, overwhelmingly and historically, not been an ally, a friend, or even a convenient tool for advancing progressive political struggles but a brutally violent, carceral, and murderous adversary. It is clear that the fascist right is not the only foe but so is the (neo)liberal right who, too, seeks to secure the United States’ unjust claim as a global hegemon even if that means leaving a trail of the blood of the world’s colonized and poor in its wake.

The circumstances in Gaza are miserable, and I do not know when joy and laughter will return to our lives. I do not know where we will go next or what will happen. Alma is almost two years old. Our lives are full of injustice and darkness, and the world is asleep.

A poor diet, overcrowding, the lack of shelter, clean water and medicine all combine with the stress of war to leave Palestinians in Gaza more vulnerable to disease.

Ramallah, occupied West Bank – The dilapidated tent does not offer much protection against the cold in the winter or the fierce heat in the summer. It sits on a barren patch of land near the city of Ramallah. But it is the only shelter Abdelrahman “Abu Bashar” Ka’abneh and his family have.

AL-MUARAJAT, WEST BANK — It was early on a mid-September day when a group of Israeli settlers arrived at a small Palestinian Bedouin school in the occupied West Bank. In short order, they stormed the building. Armed and emboldened, the settlers threw rocks, broke windows, and injured several students and teachers. Children scrambled for safety while their teachers tried to shield them.

When the Israeli military arrived, however, it wasn’t to intervene and stop the attack. Instead, the soldiers had come only to arrest the school’s headmaster, who had been taken to a hospital for his injuries.

Sinwar, like many Palestinian artists who have doubled as revolutionaries, admirably triumphs the liberation of his people in a beautiful framing. As opposed to the others, however, Sinwar is a very practical and materialistically consequential artist. His masterpiece was not a poem or a painting but a revolution in real-time. I think of Yahya Sinwar as an artist and Al-Aqsa Flood as his masterpiece.

In this episode, first we speak with several anarchists and mutual aid organizers in so-called San Antonio, Texas about their late friend, Aaron Bushnell. On February 25th of this year, Bushnell, an anarchist originally from the Cape Cod area of Massachusetts. engaged in what he described as an “extreme act of protest,” when he set him self on fire in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington DC, in protest of the US government’s ongoing support of the state of Israel and its campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians in the occupied territories. We speak about their friend and how they came to know Bushnell as he lived and worked in the area alongside them. We talk about Aaron’s upbringing in a Christian sect and how it influenced him later in life and how he came to embrace anarchism. We also speak about how his friends have dealt with the aftermath of his death and attacks on Aaron from neoliberal and far-Right media.

Soaps and kufiyas from the West Bank.

These are the sounds of Palestine, ringing louder than ever.

When a Palestinian is brought onto Western media to talk about what’s happening in Palestine, it’s never in good faith. This video satirizes the hostile and bad faith questions that Palestinians confront during mainstream media interviews.
