In order to rise from its own ashes, a phoenix first must burn. (Octavia Butler 1993)

Before Keffiyeh ban in Ontario-2024, Canada prohibited 'Negro Dances/Frolicks' (1785) and had an Indigenous 'potlatch ban' (1885-1951). 🇨🇦's 1st PM referred to Indigenous practices as “debauchery of the worst kind” in the House of Commons. White supremacy and zionism, no more!

The keffiyeh is a commitment to the Palestinian resistance for liberation against zionism, imperialism, Arab reactionary forces, and capitalism. Here are some images long before the Intifadas and Hamas.

Israel today assassinated the eldest daughter of our Professor Refaat Al-Areer (Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸), Al-Shaimaa, along with her husband and newborn baby. I am out of words, tears, and ways to comprehend this endless loss, this pain, this criminal annihilation of our people.

When the full weight of the law is behind zionist anti-Palestinian racism, it becomes legally and socially possible to weaponize 'safety' to exclude racialized folx from schools, streets, soccer fields, etc. Communities have been warning us for years. policyalternatives.ca/publications/r…

'If [my daughter] rather be arrested fighting for Palestine… I will be the happiest daddy.”

How I have yearned to hear ululations
Of women burdened by a thousand years
Of longing for song and celebration.
(Samih Sabbagh, Al-Buqai'ah)

Those who teach 'inconvenient' facts are useful & moral.

In 1966 when Manouche Shafik and her family moved out of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser (who seized land from her wealthy father) said: 'The greatest victories that the Egyptian struggle achieved are the battles that the world and the people stood side by side.' Columbia University BDS

Zionists can't stand watching Indigenous people on a beach. Why? Because they want to justify Palestinian elimination, settler colonialism, and Zionist care. I doubt that Israeli journalist (on left) feels the same about that 'Florida man' engaging in settler tourism.
