17 October 2024 – Anonymous call to action:
FREE PALESTINE! STOP COP NATION! FREE THE PEOPLE! FREE THE LAND! BRING THE WAR HOME!
After a year of the Zionist entity’s newest assault on Gaza, the struggling and free people within the belly of the beast specifically in amerika have been able to achieve no real material gains for the people of Palestine. We have protested, we have occupied space in our universities, and we have removed our occupations In hopes that our universities will divest without us forcing them to. It’s time we cast away all illusions.
We must recognize that the struggle for Palestinian liberation is intertwined with the struggle for the liberation of the occupied Black Nation within the heart of the beast known as amerika, we must act and move along this basis. The same occupation army that is responsible for the genocide of Palestinians is also responsible for the centuries-long genocide of Black people in amerika. We are sick and tired of getting beat by pigs, Mass arrested, and having nothing come from it. We are sick and tired of performative actions, which do nothing for the people of Palestine and the occupied Black Nation.
As the students of Birzeit Universit, Ghent and Amsterdam University, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Cal Poly Humbolt, and so many more bases of fighting and struggling students have shown us, real change can be made from within the belly of the beast. As the Black Panther Party, the Black Liberation Army, The Revolutionary Action Movement, and other organizations who took up the gun to free themselves, their people, and their land from amerikan occupation and racism have shown us, real change can be made from the belly of the beast.
But this change is only possible when we leap from a false sense of peace to the realization of the combative nature of our struggle. Show up at Washington Square Park on October 17th at 5 pm. Let your voice be heard, let your actions speak for themselves, and develop a genuine combative spirit capable of resisting empire from within.
