We are reaching the final stages of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The mask is off and there is no more hiding. Israeli ministers openly call for expulsion of Palestinian people and permanent occupation of the land as tens of thousands of more reserve troops are summoned by the IOF. This all comes just days before Trump is scheduled to visit the Middle East, with big plans of his own, and his patience for Netanyahu is wearing thin.
Regardless of the geopolitical factors involved, Palestinian people pay the price. Israel’s plan is to push ~2 million people to Rafah, along the southern border of Gaza, and force them into concentration camps run by US contractors. Millions around the world have been screaming about this moment for 19 months, while others wonder why so many focus on Palestine, especially when there are plenty local issues to deal with.
For us, rather than seeing it as a single issue, we see it as the culmination of nearly all issues we face today. From imperialism to feminism to mental health and more, that’s why Palestine is so important to us. In this article we’ll explain how it’s all connected as plainly and clearly as possible. By doing so, we hope we can foster a greater understanding between each other and our issues so we can have more productive conversations, grow our community solidarity, and strengthen our global collective power against the richest top 1%.
