From the past
I mourn those beings who fought against the darkness of barbarism in the past, and I scream for forgiveness. You must be much sadder now, seeing that we, the present, have not advanced in human justice. We are worse.
Celebration, for the ignoble beings of this cursed darkness of the past, those ignoble beings who fought in favor of barbarism in their past moment, I scream, from the noble primates, I resist until the end of the piece of time that time gives me to resist against barbarism. You must be happier than ever, seeing that we, the present, have become more sophisticated in barbarism. The bestiality and cruelty of the past must be proud of the present.
The past speaks
From the past, and they speak to each other today, and they say: we believed and hoped to be the most inhumane time, how painful to know that it is not so and to see that there has been no evolution, no transcendence in the present. … Did we do it so badly in the past?
The future speaks
Damn it you Palestinian people, you lacked courage, that’s why you didn’t free yourself from the colonizer.
Damn it you Palestinian people, your cowardice is the misery, misfortune, and human bitterness of the future.
Damn it you Palestinian people, if you had liberated yourself like many native peoples did against their colonizer, today humanity would not be in the catacombs.
Damn it you Palestinian people, I have not yet been born, and I already curse you because it was your fault for not leaving us a warmer humanity by not defeating the horror of Zionism.
Lessons from Syria & Lebanon: Resistance is the Only Guarantor of Sovereignty
I speak from my present
In the framework of the ongoing genocide in Gaza-Palestine.
A call to reflection, a call to review ourselves, a call to re-study, a call to liberate ourselves from fear, a call to decolonize ourselves, that is, to say end to the colonial regime of Israel. Colonialism has no right to exist.
That European converts to the Jewish religion disguise themselves as the “Jewish People” is a monument to incongruity, to nonsense. It is a mockery and humiliation of the human cortex. We are the time of ridicule, where that absurdity does not only stay there, but it is an absurdity that has a background, and it is the criminal extermination of the native Semitic Palestinian people and later going after other peoples.
To say that it is about the return of the Jews to their ancestral land after two thousand years, besides the land that God promised to the practitioners of the Jewish religion, is a pure falsification of history, it is a monstrosity, it is a sophism, a whole epiphany. Let’s get out of that psychedelia, of all that pseudoscientific delight. All this is Eurocentric colonialism.
It is not enough to condemn and scream against the atrocities of Eurocentric colonialism of the so-called Israel; it is the noble and revolutionary opportunity, it is the historical moment to say: end to the Eurocentric regime of Israel.
That they accuse us of being anti-Semites is perverse. The end of the Eurocentric crusades in Palestine was not the end of Christianity, quite the contrary. The end of the Eurocentric Israeli colonization in Palestine is not the end of Judaism, quite the contrary.
Let us wake up, for the fall of the Eurocentric colonial regime of Israel is a resounding blow against the most powerful fascist movement of our present time. It would also be the decline of the United States, as imperial atrophy, and all of the slave-exploiting, racist, and supremacist plundering Europe.
To speak at this point of the conflict in terms of Two States, those are colonial modalities, it is a trap with a facade of peace. Two States is the iron curtain for the extermination of the native Palestinian people. It is even necessary for colonial expansion towards other Arab peoples. Let us not be irresponsible. Let us not be elegant cowards.
…There is a lot of analytical artificiality, a lot of analytical demagoguery… there is more aesthetic interest than analytical.
There is a lot of pantomime, acrobats, harlequins, not to mention the root of the conflict. Distraction prevails; it is not time to talk if that colonialism is a democracy: “what about the differences between Shiites and Sunnis,” “what about the Muslim woman’s veil,” etc. A call, it is time to talk about how to abolish Eurocentric colonialism, so-called Israel. That is all. Let us not be distracted.
The solution is justice. Justice is the liberation of the native Semitic Palestinian people from the river to the sea. The population that carries the Israeli colonial gentile, once Palestine is liberated, would carry the native Palestinian gentile, here it is not about expelling anyone.
What has been the dignified historical role of native peoples against the colonizer? It has been to combat it, abolish it, liberate themselves.
The liberation of any native people against their colonizer is a contribution, an input, and a victory for human universality.
Once all of Palestine is liberated, from the river to the sea, and then if some Jew wants to live in Palestine for multiple reasons, for example: for a feeling of religious belonging, let them be welcome, let them apply for their Palestinian passport, as it was before.
A call, let us free ourselves from the agenda of that sinister Eurocentric shadow of Two States, Israeli colonialism does not want neither Two States nor One State, it wants the end of the native Palestinian people. It wants the great Israel, that is, from the Nile to the Euphrates, understand, expand to other territories of the Arab-Persian world. Yes, and you from the entelechy will say: that is impossible. That’s what they said in 1947 when they saw the imposition of colonialism in Palestine as impossible.
Let’s get to the point, let’s be concrete, let’s be punctual. Leave this dalliance; talented jugglers of the academic intellectual sanctuary, LGBTQ activists, unions, artists, journalists, politicians, jurists, diplomats, feminists, religious people, and more.
We have a date with history and a debt with humanity: End of Zionism.
Let us be condescending with the times of time, with life, where time dwells.
