I think the mindset shift to decolonization and anti-imperialism involves the realization that we aren’t doing the work for ourselves but for future generations. The Palestinians have really shown us how difficult and painful that is but also how noble and courageous. We won’t see the fruits of our labor, but if we care about humanity and the future of our species on this planet, we have to be patient, courageous and steadfast in the face of brutal state violence.

I struggled to see what Hamas hoped to achieve on Oct 7th for a while, until I read about the Warsaw ghetto uprising (because it was being brought up) and saw this quote describing the reason those who participated gave for doing it "not to allow the Germans alone to pick the time and place of our deaths". This is why it's hard for us to understand, we've not lived in Gaza under siege, the people who live there probably felt like they were slowly dying and their cause being forgotten, the world simply didn't care, we would have left them languishing for years and all went on with our lives as Israel got to choose when they die, the violence that has been inflicted on the Palestinian is constant, but the world only cares when it's brutal, and I am afraid that we all left them no choice but to escalate.

Exactly! I was with the resistance before but against Hummas ways of resistance thinking that the Palestinians in G@za and the West Bank will pay for something that they didn't do just like they do now. Until I discovered that they pay for it everyday and we just didn't know about it. Just thinking that it only took the killing of white ppl so that the whole world know about their struggles for 76 tell you a lot about the world. And I'm pretty sure that if there was no resistance in G@za, the settlers would have taken over it just like the West Bank so long live the resistance until Palestine is free 🇵🇸🙏🏼

“Does past violence justify current violence?” In this current context there is no “past violence” on Israel’s part. They’ve been inflicting violence on the Palestinians for over 76 years. My two cents as a Jewish American: any actions by the Palestinian resistance since the founding of Israel is self defense.

At 31:16 Sammy asked a really poignant question. I wish we got the chance to hear Josh answer that. I get the sense there is this unconscious bias Josh has that won’t allow him to attribute any success to Hamas towards the larger goal of Palestinian liberation. I don’t think he’s intentionally doing this, but I think that question may have led to a lightbulb moment for Josh to recognize some bias he’s harboring perhaps due to years of propaganda we’ve been fed about Hamas and “terrorism” in general

Agreed. Additionally, a few KEY points were dismissed in this conversation re the events of October 7th. First, Hamas knew of an imminent attack by Israel after October 7th and that Israel was planing to escalate unlike previous aggressions on the Gaza strip. So they acted first knowing that would garner world wide attention on not just the Palestinian issue but also expose Israel as the brutal, cowardly occupation that it is. Second, Israel had plans beyond tormenting Palestinians. The David Ben Gurion canal?!! Third, the events of October 7th shattered the long held self proclaimed narrative of IDF being invincible. And finally, most importantly, the world especially Americans are now aware of the extent of the influence of the Israel lobby/government on not just regional politics but also international.

Every revolutionary war demands extreme violence. The idea that true freedom might be conquered with minimum or no casualties is a romantic one. The resistance knows that, as they’ve been fighting this war for basically a century. And as a people that is intrinsically connected to its resistance, especially in Gaza, most Palestinians also know that. That’s why they stay, that’s why they choose to die in their homes, and that's why they give their lives to armed struggle.

The fact that the comment was made that Hamas did not had the objective to free Palestine or strategically won by Oct 7 to get a free Palestine is quite unrespectful. Ofcourse it’s sad so many people died on Oct 7.But do you think Hamas members like killing people? Are you serious? Do you know what that does to a God fearing person? There is no way they could have achieved this unviolently(it has been tried)that’s why their resistance is legal under Geneva. Eternal occupation isn’t legal under Geneva btw. Can you imagine that we did not fought the Germans because of all the casualties that died in the war? Should we have just let the Nazis do their thing? No! Ofcourse innocent people will die. And the number of innocent dead in Gaza is so insane big, and that is not failure of Hamas concerning strategy but expected behavior of an Apartheid regime, as they dehumanize indigenous people.

I just want to point out that the idea that religious people are made less prone to violence by their faith is historically a pretty dangerous one. There have been countless atrocities committed by religious people throughout history, just as there have been countless acts of mercy and grace from religious people. Faith is a powerful thing, but we are only human, and can't just assume that it will automatically protect us from acting immorally.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children." "The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people." "This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road that the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron." -President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 'A Chance for Peace'

The problem with eye for an eye is the assumption is the two parties are equal in power. If this is the case then and eye for an eye makes sense. However, in situations where there is a clear power imbalance and oppression, an eye for an eye doesn't make sense. One, you can't dictate what is a just amount of aggression against an oppressive force. If the oppressed party takes an eye the oppressor will take both eyes and 4 limbs. IMO, the appropriate amount of aggression against an oppressor is whatever amount of aggression is necessary for the oppressor to stop. And that us NEVER going to be a small amount.

This guy is just uncomfortable with accepting and admitting the fact that Hamas gets a win here. People like myself have been in this conversation for around a decade. Nothing has moved along this conversation and the push for human rights more than October 7th did. You can be as uncomfortable with that as you want to be, but it is an undeniable fact. Had October 7th never happened, we would be lucky to achieve the global outcry that we have now, in the next decade or more. And not just that, but the idea that virtually all Palestinian movements and organizations are not on the same page in regards to Palestinian resistance and the goals of that resistance is really just kind of absurd. Broadly all of these groups obviously agree at a very fundamental level about resistance and to end the occupation, etc. What happens next isn't of much concern at the moment. People view a group as extremist or as terrorists and they just get really uncomfortable when they learn that what they perceived to be a terrorist attack, actually brought about the goals and the victory that the group wanted it to. When Israel killed many and then expelled 750,000 Palestinians during the Nakba, people were not confused about the win that was for Israeli settlers and colonialists. Resistance is ALWAYS extreme. They don't have the luxury of playing by the rules and being tolerant of everything. They were also brutal when we fought for our independence in the US. The bottom line is that that attack has brought Palestinians closer to ending the siege and the occupation than anything has in decades. Also I am not condemning anything. Last I checked we don't condemn Nat Turner for his rebellion. You had a concentration camp of refugees under siege and occupied their entire lives, and a bunch of settlers celebrating a damn music festival just over the fence. They targeted military installations and planned to take hostages for trading hostages Israel has already been taking for years, including many innocent children, and who with which has had a long history of torturing them in those very prisons. These armed settlers who chose to live in land that was not theirs with the expressed intent to occupy the land and to steal it from people, and literally moved there, are fair targets. They CHOSE to be there. October 7th was more in terms of collateral damage than virtually anything Israel has done since. Israel has killed more of their hostages and more of their people under threat of capture than anyone else has, including Hamas. We have the luxury of judging what resistance does or does not look like from the comforts of our unoccupied land, in our safe homes with totally free trade and freedom of movement. People need to shut up and check their privilege. The truth of the matter is, this is what resistance looks like, and always has looked like. We don't live in a fairytale. Peaceful resistance has been something that has been ongoing in Palestine for decades and it has not only done nothing, but things have gotten significantly worse.

So, I was staying at a homeless shelter in Southwest Ohio, and a lady who did intakes and worked the desk, saw that the director had approved for me to attend a lecture at a local university, because, at the time, I wasn't a street drug addict, or likely to get knocked up while on pass. I was allowed to go hear a lecture, titled Reclaiming Terrorism. It was about the work of Ida B. Wells l, and how in the American South the Ku Klux Klan and lynchings, were forms of terrorism, to enforce Jim Crow, and the capitalist extractive economy, and stuff like that. This lady, told me, about one of her children being a veteran, who really needed medical cannabis, but still couldn't use it cuz of his job . So nowadays, every once in a while, I say "Ida be well if you'd a be well too." Now that cannabis is legally recreationally in Ohio people who have a card are not losing their job depending on the job as long as they don't test positive at work that would show they were literally like blazed at work and not just using it at home as the medicine like they're supposed to. I'm waiting for attempts to revitalize downtown economies, to include cannabis events instead of just cheesecake, wine and chocolate. That s*** is played out.

This is a fantastic episode. I've been following Greg since the Gaza massacres started in the fall of 2023. It's nice to know a little more about his background and how he became anti-colonialist. The explanations presented are excellent and very informative. Thanks!

I love listening to Greg and his unique inside knowledge of the US military, coupled with the sympathetic humanity of a normal human being having an objective perspective.

I feel like Josh needs some educating on the resistance. Resistance is justified when a people is occupied!! Talk about the root cause. Idk if they are trying to be mild on here or what. Also what is an israeli peace activist? Greg is a real one though.

One thing is funny though, how really smart people keep miscategorizing the whole WEST when referring to one single country!

Greg was fabulous 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 The guy on the left shows us the limits of how left wing an Israeli can be. He’s supposedly anti zionist but has absorbed ridiculous notions that violence is terrible even when uv been attacked for 76yrs. Nobody condemned slave uprisings or the Haitian slave revolt. Nobody condemned the Indians kicking out the British or Aborigines and Native Americans fighting off European colonisers. I’m pretty disgusted by this guy right now! I feel like I watched a slave uprising and he is the plantation owner coming on to condemn the slaves for resisting. Who is this guy? Totally don’t trust him. Sami, do this on your own, he is no friend if Palestine

Thank you for this! Have been thinking about this metaphor of the thread and how we are unraveling a lot of problematic indoctrination and systems. and as a knitter 😊 i am now thinking what are we weaving and reconstructing with these threads. What narratives systems stories ways of being are we knitting once the old shit is unraveled? Thanks again for this thought provoking convo ✌🍉

About a year ago when my parents hired someone to help clean my apartment and they brought in like their kids who were in their twenties and like I have a pretty large CD collection but no CD player connected to a speaker that's actually worth listening to music on anyway I had a CD of an album we scratch Perry did with a group that called themselves terrorists in New York and like in 1978. Well in their mad dash just throw stuff in trash bags to clear the unit out instead of actually going through things and saving them like they were getting paid to do I found that CD and many others tossed away and I'm assuming they saw the word terrorists and had a brain glitch as a stated as in this video. Literally least scratch Perry the Jamaican Jamaican dub musician, did an album with three white dudes in New York and they called themselves terrorists because anyone who resists colonial capitalism gets called terrorist.

30:37 min. Decolonization is a violent process. In the words of Fanon “Colonialism only loosens its hold when the knife is at its throat. Colonialism is not a machine capable of thinking, a body endowed with reason. It is naked violence and only gives in when confronted with greater violence.” The majority of the Palestinian people support Oct 7th and continue to support the resistance factions. It is both a military victory and political victory. They were tired of living in an open air prison what don’t you people understand. Tired of hearing this pacifist bs. Let’s reminisce about what about in 2018 the great march of return. How did peaceful protest work?? It didn’t and there were mass casualties and injuries. Palestine will win. Stay steadfast
