I come from the womb of a native Semitic Palestinian peasant woman who survived the Al Nakba (1948), and who found refuge in my beloved Venezuela, where I began my life. She didnāt flee from the horror of war, but from the horror of genocide.
Shame on my conscienceāwhat a sinister conscience I would haveāif I, the daughter of Fauziah Khalil and Mohammad Migdadi, were to recognize that yoke, that anachronistic Eurocentric colonialism, that colonial Nazi-Zionism fraudulently called āIsrael,ā which today stands as humanityās greatest enemy: Zionism. No, I do not accept colonialism, and my struggle as a native Palestinian, from the diaspora, is against the very existence of this colonial anachronism. I must also be a daughter of my historical time, in the contemporary era.
Amid the ongoing genocideāa genocide that began in 1948 and today is visible and accelerating against the native Semitic Palestinian people at the hands of this Eurocentric colonial anachronism, deceptively, skillfully, even delightfully called IsraelāI issue a call for reflection, a call to examine ourselves, a call to decolonize our minds, a call to dismantle the Eurocentric falsification of history, a call for honesty, a call for justice and humanity.
A call to reincorporate armed struggle, and a call to abolish the yokeāthe Nazi-Zionist, Eurocentric colonial anachronism falsely called Israel.
While it is true that today we witness dignified global solidarity against the genocide of the native Palestinian people, it would be glorious if, amid this mourning, we could give birth to a liberation movement and emerge from the dark tunnel of Nazi-Zionist colonialism that humanity is visibly traversing todayāa darkness that never vanished, but rather cast its shadow and mutated across the Arab-Persian world.
To be concrete:
It would be unforgivable not to assume the historical responsibility that lies in our hands todayānamely, to speak openly of the end of the Eurocentric colonial anachronism falsely called āIsrael.ā
We must break free from this artificial circle where Israeli colonialism is condemned, yet at the same time weāre told: āIsrael has the right to exist.ā Enough alreadyācolonialism has no moral or humanist right to exist. What has been the dignified historical role of native peoples in the face of colonization? It has been to fight, to abolish, to liberate themselves from the colonial yoke. The liberation of any native people from colonial barbarity is a victory that intrinsically belongs to the universal human experience. We must appeal to historical memoryālet us decolonize our minds. Enough with abstractions.
The end of this dazzling, deceitful, Eurocentric colonial anachronism called Israel is not the end of Jews or Judaism. The end of the Crusades was not the end of Christianity. The end of Al-Qaeda is not the end of Islam.
Now, once all of Palestine is liberatedāwhat do we do with those who carry the colonial Israeli identity?
They may stay, they may live in all of Palestine if they wish. If they choose, they may adopt the Palestinian identity. They can live with equal rights. This is not about expelling anyoneābut the liberation of the native Palestinian people must finally see the light. Colonialism must be abolished.
And once all of Palestine is freed from the colonial yoke, if any citizen of the world wishes to take on the Palestinian identity, they will be welcomed.
To believe, here in the 21st century, that the Jewish religious community is a single āpeople,ā or that the current state of Israel is the Israel of the Bible, or that the modern followers of Judaism come from Judeaāthis is nothing but a pleasant lubricant for the falsification of history.
It is the thinking of fools, idiots, dimwits, and imbeciles.
It is an insult to the human psyche, a mockery, a farce, and a joke.
It is gibberish absurdity, senselessness, ineptitude, clumsiness.
It isĀ monstrosity, sophism, a scam, a deception, a fraud, and a stratagem.
We must shed this doping, this psychedelia, this hallucinogenic fantasy. And I donāt refer only to the evangelical religious community, but also to the intellectual-academic priesthood of caviar and cocktails. This is disastrous.
In this case, this sense of ridicule serves a very real, sinister purpose.
Let us be realistsālet us do the impossible.
āErnesto Che Guevara
The searing cruelty of this barbarity is that we must understand: governments will not take real actionāwith the honorable exception of Yemen, and with certain caveats, Iran. Therefore, the birth of a global grassroots force is necessaryāto either rescue or pressure the governments trapped by feudal-corporate interests.
I am no atheist of the masses.
I believe in the people, in the crowd, in the common folk.
The elites fear the masses; thatās why theyāre so clever in banalizing and dividing us.
The Palestinians will not be able to liberate themselves alone. The treacherous Arab tyrannies (Nazi-Zionist Arabs) are complicit in the ongoing genocide. From that disgrace must sprout the primitive, the primal being within usāto become the village that protects Pachamama, with its multitude of peoples.
āWe resist because we love life.ā
āMahmoud Darwish
From the bonfire in which we now find ourselves, I am a dreamerāand I must be.
Despite the savagery and this moral and spiritual collapse, I cling to the human creatureāthat is part of my resistance.
I will not give even an inch to Nazi-Zionist colonialism.
But enough.
We cannot go on with this formula of being “pro-Palestinian” while also believing colonialism has a right to exist.
Let it not be the slaves who defend slavery.
Let us not be the ones who, naĆÆvely, reinforce colonialism and the extermination of a native people in the 21st century.
Yes, you read correctly:
I speak of the end of the yoke, of the Nazi-Zionist Eurocentric colonial anachronism, this delightful fraud, called Israel.
Enough of pirouettes, of intellectual academic acrobatics.
This is searing.
We have a date with history.
For those who are not yet bornālet us not leave them a world of darkness.
