Reject Normalization

Normalization, in the context of Palestine, refers to the process by which relationships, activities, and agreements are established with the Zionist settler-colonial state of Israel without addressing its occupation, oppression, and violations of Palestinian rights. This term includes normalization via diplomatic agreements, economic partnerships, cultural exchanges, and even rhetorical frameworks that equate the experiences of the occupier with the occupied.

Betrayal in Jenin: The PA’s Role in Suppressing Palestinian Resistance

The Palestinian Authority (PA), under the leadership of Mahmoud Abbas, operates as a dictatorship that functions to uphold the Zionist settler-colonial system, oppressing Palestinians rather than protecting their liberation. This betrayal of the Palestinian struggle is evident in its recent actions in Jenin, where the PA's violent crackdown against resistance groups has underscored its role as a subcontractor for Israeli interests.

The First Palestinian Intifada

In the ten years leading up to the First Intifada, or First “Uprising,” the Zionist far-right Likud party was gaining power in the settler colony of “Israel.”

These extremists aggressively advanced indigenous land theft and the creation of illegal settlements on Palestinian land. After decades of violent colonization, the sentiment of resistance against the fascist occupiers gained traction amongst the Palestinian people.
