What Frantz Fanon Can Teach Us About Gaza

[@yellowporsche8172]

The brutality of the colonial violence inflicted on Palestinians by the Israeli oppressor is politically entrenched in the west not just by Zionist lobbies but also by the entitled understandings of settler colonialsim. As a Canadian, I shamefully came to understood colonial violence of dispossession, ethnic cleansing, and cultural genocide of Indigenous peoples on Turtle Island through my Palestinian lens. I came to understand that as a white person denouncing and rejecting colonization, racism, and white supremacy does not change that I am still a beneficiary of these structures and therefore part of the oppressor class. My colleagues and friends in Gaza are struggling to survive a grotesque dystopian nightmare that is politically advanced by my government and financed by Canadians and other westerners. The same language imperialism used against Indigenous peoples is being used against Palestinians to silence their suffering and advocate the oppressors crimes. The Palestinians I know are refusing to submit. They are being killed and detained. They are facing horrendous abuses and threats of abuses while struggling to find food to eat. The issue is to starve them to make them revolutionize against Hamas. I believe they will not becuase the oppressor has shown for 70 plus years that their words are immaterial and they will never coexist with Palestinians.

"Settler colonial states have a terminal shelf life. Israel is no exception." ~ CHRIS HEDGES “Israel is a settler colonial project that is nearing its end, as colonial projects reach their final phase become more brutal and ruthless.” ~ Ilan Pape The Jewish Professor “We are witnessing the end of Zionism, which is the most dangerous stage because it fights for survival, very cruel and violent.

[@FaycalOuazine]

In international law, nowhere does one find that the occupying force has the “right” to defend itself. Instead, it is explicitly written that an occupied nation has the right to fight by any means necessary for its freedom. United Nations Resolution 2621 XXV of December 12, 1970 affirms : “the inherent right of colonial peoples to fight by all necessary means against colonial powers which repress their aspiration for freedom and independence”.

[@masoodraja]

Thank you

[@Thiscannotbetruebutitis]

Just citing this UN resolution is considered a so called „pro Hamas“ support and a „denial of the right to exist“ for Israel. While using this pseudo-logic the West is increasing the resistance making repression at home and the sending of weapons to Israel an insane spiral of violence and counter-violence. This is why the voice of reason that aim for peace have to prevail. Otherwise, this conflict will only become larger and larger.

[@historiaeresistencia832]

Israeli authorities allegedly say they are not occupying powers. And contradictorily they say palestinians are not a people and don' t exist.And some zionists say Gaza is part of Egypt and that Israel doesn' t even controll its borders.They argue that Hamas is the government of Gaza do Israel does not occupy.That Golan Heights are theirs and the whole territories from hebrew times, 3 thousand years ago. I do not agree with this crap but that is thrir excuse.

[@Natufia1]

Yes, That is indeed corrdct, but the United Nations Security Council members, ex-Colonial powers, have the veto and use it against Gaza, actively supporting Israel, in its illegal colonial ptoject.

[@Lalallalu]

FaycalOuazine 100 percent right !

[@FaycalOuazine]

“The people of South Africa will never forget the support of the state of Israel to the apartheid regime.” ~ Nelson Mandela on being released in 1990 In 1977, the United Nations passed a mandatory arms embargo against South Africa. Israel has repeatedly violated this mandate, equipping the white minority government with a number of weapons, including missiles, several kinds of aircraft, long-range missile boats and other lethal equipment. Israelis have also trained South African troops and provided advisers to the apartheid state in its military attacks against Angola.

[@medeplicity]

Here as well...UN General Assembly resolution 37/43, passed on December 3, 1982, states that occupied people have the right to resist occupying forces by any lawful means, including armed struggle. The resolution also affirms the legitimacy of the struggle for independence, territorial integrity, national unity, and liberation from foreign domination and foreign occupation.

It's interesting you bring up Fanon and anti-colonial struggles. Right now, Africans are being recruited to work in the helping professions (psychology, psychotherapy, social work, psychiatry). Dr. Alvin Poussaint may be the best-known Black psychiatrist. Poussaint was well-known and active in connection with the Cosby show. And there have been plenty of blacks who have been mental health technicians or associates. The situation with Africans, necessary labor (lower to middle-clsss) for America as Africans are assimilated into a world-system of increasing embourgoisesisment is mildly different. While Fanon took a 'radical' theoretic approach, these newer waves of African psych professionals are only a part of the further attempt to colonize minds and lives in the global carceral state. This sort of development would have interested people like Philip Rieff. It goes on completely under the radar.

Thank you, this was my first experience with your messages/ channel. In closing you mentioned if policy makers in the US would read Fanon’s work…., I am afraid that the policy they follow has not changed since WW2, dominate and dictate. May be in the future we can see tolerance and only if the rest of the world resists just enough for the change to happen.
