Class 5: Justice will rise, Zionism will fall!
No Justice, No Peace!
The quest for justice, not just peace, is at the heart of addressing the historical and ongoing injustices faced by Palestinians. "Peace" is a term rooted in preserving systems of colonization and white supremacy, often used to mask the realities of genocide and apartheid. True peace cannot exist amidst ethnic cleansing, land theft, home demolitions, and the brutalities of Zionist settler colonialism. The goal is justice.
Without justice, any semblance of peace would be superficial and unstable, merely concealing the deep-rooted grievances and suffering of the Palestinian people.
“There is a difference between peace and liberation, is there not? You can have injustice and have peace...so peace is not the answer. Liberation is the answer. Peace is a white man’s word. Liberation is our word.”
The Zionist occupation has consistently shown its hypocrisy regarding peace talks from 1948 to the present. They murder Palestinians during these "peace talks" or sabotage the deals, blaming resistance groups. As a Palestinian resistance fighter once said, “There can be no peace under occupation. True peace will only come with justice and liberation.”
Justice means ending Zionist settler colonialism, dismantling apartheid, and rectifying the systemic theft of Palestinian land and homes. Only then can true peace be achieved, grounded in justice and liberation.
Freedom, Liberation Return!
Until then, in solidarity,
