>>2402541Meanwhile there's a 17 year old who hasn't eaten in 4 days, never known a day without living in a concentration camp, never went to high school, no dances or social studies projects. He's holding an RPG (homemade, manufactured deep underground), standing, fighting with all of his strength. He has never heard the world doomer, and he has two brothers he feeds using stolen rations and whatever horrors you can imagine someone in a famine resorts to eating.
He's fucking tired. He's starving to death. He's out numbered, out gunned and with little recourse but to fight. And he does.
So why the fuck are you, the man on the computer, comfortable enough to write that, with clean water, shelter and internet, thinking you have any right to talk the way you talk. The people who are being genocided have not surrendered, the spectators have.
Activist Georges Abdallah via Al-Mayadeen: The Arab street movement sparks the struggle
Hours before his expected release, Lebanese activist George Ibrahim Abdallah, who has been imprisoned in France for 41 years, sent a special message to Al-Mayadeen TV , in which he affirmed that he was "calm, reassured, and a fighter until his last breath." He noted that he did not feel threatened and that his condition was "like that of any activist in our country."
In the message broadcast by Al Mayadeen , Abdullah emphasized the importance of the Arab popular movement, saying, "When the Arab street mobilizes, we will witness an explosion of struggle." He expressed his regret that "the Arab people are not rising up as they should, and are not taking action sufficiently."
In this context, he called on "citizens to mobilize and take action," warning against remaining silent or complicit.
The activist, Abdullah, also paid tribute to everyone who stood by him and supported his struggle, emphasizing that this support gave him momentum for the future, a reference to the high morale he maintains despite the four decades he spent in captivity.
In his analysis of the international context, Abdullah considered that "capitalism is in decline, and therefore wars are being waged," describing a global phase marked by increasing tensions and fabricated crises.
For her part, the activist's lawyer told Al-Mayadeen , "George Abdallah keeps up with all the events and has a great deal of energy and remarkable activity." She stressed the need for us to "rally behind his struggle, because his cause does not concern him alone, but rather expresses the conscience of the nation in resisting colonialism and hegemony."
Earlier, Abdullah praised the "growing mobilization" among his supporters, asserting that it was the primary reason the French judiciary agreed to his release.
<Who is George Ibrahim Abdallah?
>France's longest-serving political prisoner
Abdullah is one of Europe's longest-serving political prisoners . He was arrested in 1984 in Lyon, France, on charges of possessing a forged Algerian passport, after being pursued by the Israeli Mossad.
In 1978, Abdullah joined the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), co-founded the Lebanese Revolutionary Armed Forces (LAF) in 1981, and was later accused of participating in the assassination of American and Israeli diplomats.
<George Ibrahim Abdallah⦠in the corridors of justice
In 1999, Abdullah met the conditions for release set by the French penal code. In 2003, a parole court ordered his release. The French public prosecutor appealed the decision, delaying his release. In 2005, the French public prosecutor's office opposed any decision to release him. In 2006, the French public prosecutor's office rejected Abdullah's request for release, arguing that France's image would be tarnished in the eyes of the United States and its allies, and that his deportation to Lebanon was no guarantee that he would not repeat the actions he had committed.
In 2007, Abdullah's lawyer submitted his seventh parole request, which was rejected on October 10 of the same year. In 2007, Abdullah appealed the ruling, and the appeal hearing was held on January 31, when the announcement of the ruling was postponed until April 17, 2008.
In 2013, the Paris Penal Enforcement Chamber approved the eighth release request, linking it to his departure from French territory. The Public Prosecution appealed, and the sentence was suspended. The French Enforcement Court also rejected Georges Abdallah's ninth request for conditional release in 2014.
The court had postponed Abdullah's release decision after a hearing held on February 20, ruling that he must pay part of the compensation to the families of the assassinated American and Israeli diplomats as a preliminary step to accepting his release request. The activist has repeatedly rejected this request, denying any involvement in the assassination.
It is noteworthy that the French Enforcement Court had ordered Abdullah's release in a session held last November, but immediately suspended the execution following an appeal from the French Anti-Terrorism Public Prosecutor's Office.

>>2401533>when your enemies slander you as a bigot because you oppose genocide you should double down on actual bigotry because they're gonna call you that either wayno thanks just gonna keep opposing genocide
>>2402310bait
>>2402808taking bait
>>2403075That's a threat.
>>2402541Hi. I almost never post here, but here is my position, and it's been my position for over a year:
I think you're wrong. Not because I think hope is right; I think hope is more-or-less worthless. I guess for those who need it it is valuable. For me, I don't rely on hope, but on the understanding that it
is going to get worse, and that there
is no bottom. No border will protect you from the actions of your own governments if you live in the genocidal Zionist west. I am endlessly pessimistic, but I do not consider "acceptance" to be an option. The important understanding, which many people in the west (and even outside of the west) have lacked, is that there is no reward for such acceptance. For most of us there is no situation where we make our peace with this system and live in comfort, it just isn't actually an option at this point. Down the line, we, the workers, the poor, the homeless, the scapegoats, will eventually be next to be trampled.
This machine is our enemy not because there is any perceivable
hope of destroying it, but because of the genocide, theft, and atrocities it commits against humanity and against us. There is no
hope of living with it, and even the desire to try to attempt to do so can no longer be justified for most of us. I bore no illusions from the beginning that there was hope - because of this, I've been ready for over a year to devote my body and life and death to total war against the tyrannical Zionist state, its arms dealers, and its financiers. So why were we marching in circles?
I understand it on some level, but it needed far more from day one. From day one, many of us were ready to give far more.
Look at Aaron Bushnell for an example of a man who understands the stakes. What I want to know is where are all the Aaron Bushnells who are not setting themselves on fire? When will those of us who understand, on this visceral level, just how bad it is turn our flames outwards and burn the tyrants until only their ashes remain? When will the pain, the shame, the anger turn into real concerted action? The time was now over a year ago, and the time is still now.
Abandon your hopes, but with them abandon your weeping and your despair. Arm. Organize. Prepare your being for the judgment of history, because it's not just the people of Palestine who are being led to slaughter, it will be you as well.
Die fighting or die in the shame of subjugation. Never accept the crimes of the tyrant, only accept the tyrant's destruction, and prepare to forgive yourself and your comrades for doing unpleasant but necessary things.
>>2403460>Uhhh sweety the optics uhhh<Nono we ARE Nazis and we are proud of it<Deal with it, goy. (and keep up the payments)It is really funny because the reasons Israel is the 51st state haven't changed. But the need to incorporate anti-Zionism into the culture war to disarm it, apparently means ritualistic humiliation of US politicians. Presumably so ZOG posting and other retarded conspiracies becomes too low of a hanging fruit and too profitable to pass.
Obscuring the monstrous reality of everyone doing it for capital.
>>2403479 (me)
It's like the standing ovations for Netanyahu every single sentence. Or the servile manners of Trump around him.
Or every time a Zionist congressmoron opens their mouth to explain that Jews are better and Israel is owed more from themselves than their own constituency.
>>2403353>Christian Zionism makes more sense than whatever schizo Christian Palestine Liberation theology you've come up with. I think it's all pretty schizo when religion gets involved, but Christian Zionism is a very Western Protestant thing. This gets complicated because Palestinian Christians have been among the most militant Palestinians. Some of the founders of the Marxist-Leninist groups were of Christian background (that was, like, 1970s though), and then you also get these religious types into Greek Orthodoxy who joined Fatah. The last Palestinian I met didn't have issues with Christians and made a point of mentioning Palestinian Christians to the group of people I was with (he was a bit of a schizo too but I'm just saying, within their context, it doesn't quite map onto the same axis as it does here in the U.S.). Some Jewish settlers attacked a Palestinian Christian village a few days ago.
>If God is intervening on a side in this conflict he's clearly not doing so for the Palestinians.I usually quote Chairman Mao talking about how God takes many sides. Or there may be multiple gods who back up different sides. But I'm also a pessimist.
>>2402541What do you mean? The real defeat would have been if Israel completes the normalization process. That's why Hamas made its move, even if Shin Bet or whichever other body turned a blind eye to their preparations so they will have an excuse for a final solution. In no way have been things going well before Al-Aqsa Flood. There were several Israel provocations in the Al-Aqsa mosque which prompted Hamas to launch a retaliation more limited compared to their October 7 incursion. Settler violence in the West Bank was an everyday occurence.
The fact that Israel was ready to kill this many people just because of a few hundred kidnapped soldiers and druggies means that they would have done it anyway even without any sliver of justification. On the other hand the war had certain positive effects: it caused serious damage to the Israel's economy both in terms of FDI and the physical damage incurred by Iranian strikes. It also strengthened Russian-Iranian-Chinese cooperation while indefinetely postponing the India-UAE-Saudi Arabia-Israel corridor, intended to be a counter-Belt and Road by the US. If all this didn't happen, Israel might have gotten away with a slow-burn genocide as a hub of global trade while also benefiting from Chinese and Russian economic cooperation. The way things currently stand Israel will die together with Western hegemony as Israel is becoming increasingly isolated both among counter-hegemonic countries and current Western allies.
>>2403515Anarchist here. It's not a question of applying anarchism to the Levant, but just a simple matter of "the genocide of Palestinians is monstrous and we should do whatever we can to stop it", even if that means offering support to Hamas or whatever. Most anarchists, myself included, are more concerned with applying anarchist ideology and praxis in our own localities where we can actually make a difference, since at the moment there is no group of free territories with enough manpower or firepower to intervene in Gaza or anything similar.
Ideally I'd like there to be no borders or nations and Palestine just being one of many regions in our global civilization, but for the Palestinian people right now there are more pressing concerns than hypothetical future federations
