Food for thought: Anti-Zionism as Decolonisation

"It is essential to note that Palestinians have never rejected Jewish indigeneity in Palestine. However, the liberation movement has differentiated between zionist settlers and Jewish natives. Palestinians have established a clear and rational framework for this distinction, like in the Thawabet, the National Charter of Palestine from 1968. Article 6 states, ‘The Jews who had normally resided in Palestine until the beginning of the Zionist invasion will be considered Palestinians.’

When individuals misread ‘decolonisation’ as ‘the mass killing or expulsion of Jews,’ it is often a reflection of their own entanglement in colonialism or a result of zionist propaganda. Perpetuating this rhetoric is a deliberate misinterpretation of Palestinian thought, which has maintained this position over a century of indigenous organising."

EbbAnti-Zionism as Decolonisation — EbbIn this essay, Leila Shomali and Lara Kilani, two Palestinian writers, detail what it means to be anti-zionist, laying out foundational concepts and definitions as they explore essential strategies and tactics for a militant decolonial movement against settler-colonialism.

💾 The beauty of #Solarpunk is that there can be so many angles: #technology, social infrastructure, #nature, #trauma, #decolonialism, etc.

Realistically, a single story can't take all of those on at the same time (although a masterful author can be able to weave everything together). Yet it seems to me that all these stories are choosing the same angle with very little variation.

Perhaps we shouldn’t look at Grist like the paragon of solarpunk but rather, as they write themselves, just #Clifi.

“On the night following Marcellus Khalifah Williams’s martyrdom at the hands of the state, we went to the walls of the Orleans Parish Prison along I-10 in New Orleans, under a waning crescent moon, and scrawled a message:

“America is a prison! Abolition now!”

To symbolize the extension of the genocidal, fascist carceral systems that permeate every facet of modern america, we wanted to remind commuters that fascism is not some looming specter on the horizon, but material reality right now for so many occupied communities. The orgy of surveillance, the disappearance of unhoused people in the lead-up to the Super Bowl, the social death of the poor as we struggle to afford basic necessities under an ongoing pandemic, the hollow spectacle of electoral politics.

The cages extend into schools, hospitals, mental health facilities, treatment centers, “low-income” housing, into the way we interact and police each other and ourselves.

We wish to remind people of the infinite possibilities for collective resistance against colonialism, of the world-making that continues ongoing in the face of fascism here in the US, in Palestine, and across the globe.

We remain vigilant in attending to Marcellus Khalifah Williams’s collective remembrance: his spirit lives on in our struggle and resistance.

As the genocide in Palestine rages on, we urge folks to escalate against the Zionist entities, and to reconfirm their commitments to decolonial struggles within their communities, collectives, affinity groups, etc.

Destroying Zionism, white supremacy, and capitalism is the only path toward liberatory modes of living, of being free.”

Helsinki Commission hearing on Russian Imperial identity. The 5 centuries of Moscow’s #colonialism that Russian people have never admitted or processed, and therefore never felt regret for.

Kremlin’s propaganda keeps touting Moscow as anti-colonialist. In reality it is perhaps the most brutal of all european colonial empires.

But the people they enslaved had white skin. This I think has thrown the #decolonialism activists off for a long time. I hope no more.

La Conférence Bandung du Nord 2024 approche à grands pas, et nous sommes ravis de vous inviter à cet événement international unique : "Pour une Internationale décoloniale, les subalternes du Nord parlent !".

📅 Dates : 27 au 29 septembre 2024
📍 Lieu : Université du Québec à Montréal, Amphithéâtre (SH-2800), 200 rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montréal (Québec) H2X 3P2

Cet événement exceptionnel réunira des intervenant·e·s de premier plan, dont Omar Barghouti, Joseph Massad, Houria Boutelja, Ramón Grosfoguel, Michèle Sibony, Françoise Vergès, Ellen Gabriel et plusieurs autres.

Points clés de la conférence :

- Langues : Les conférences seront en anglais et en français, avec traduction simultanée offerte.

- Inscriptions : La participation est gratuite, mais l'inscription est obligatoire.

- Contribution volontaire : Pour rendre cet événement possible, nous encourageons les dons.

- Discussion : Une place importante est accordée aux interventions du public pour chaque panel. Votre participation aux discussions est donc plus que bienvenue si vous désirez préparer des prises de paroles.

La Conférence Bandung du Nord s'inscrit dans la lignée de l'esprit de Bandung de 1955 et sera entièrement organisée par des personnes non-blanches. Elle marque une première en Amérique du Nord et vise à forger une alliance politique entre les mouvements décoloniaux d'Occident, tout en affrontant les défis posés par les nationalismes suprémacistes, l'ultralibéralisme, et la domination impérialiste sous toutes ses formes.

Lancée en 2018 à Paris avec des figures influentes comme Angela Davis et Fred Hampton Junior. Cette première édition a été un point de départ essentiel pour les discussions autour d'une internationale décoloniale. Par la suite, une deuxième Conférence a eu lieu à Bruxelles en 2022 et Barcelone en 2023.

Les parrains du Bandung du Nord sont trois figures emblématiques, injustement incarcérées dans des prisons occidentales : Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, révolutionnaire arabe, détenu en France depuis 1984, Léonard Peltier, militant autochtone, emprisonné aux États-Unis depuis 1976, Mumia Abu Jamal, journaliste et militant politique, incarcéré aux États-Unis depuis 1981. Ces trois hommes incarnent la résistance des noms blancs au cœur de l'Empire et continuent d'inspirer les luttes d'aujourd'hui. Ils symbolisent également la condition d'hommes non blancs en Occident.

Ce projet (particulièrement les panels et conférences qui porteront sur le genre) est financé par le RéQEF ou Réseau québécois d'études féministes- Antenne Concordia et Antenne UQAM ainsi que d'autres commanditaires.

📅 Dates: September 27 to 29, 2024
📍 Location: Université du Québec à Montréal, Amphitheater (SH-2800), 200 Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal (Quebec) H2X 3P2

This exceptional event will bring together leading speakers, including Omar Barghouti, Joseph Massad, Houria Boutelja, Ramón Grosfoguel, Michèle Sibony, Françoise Vergès, Ellen Gabriel, and many more.

Key Points of the Conference:

- Languages: The talks will be in English and French, with simultaneous translation provided.

- Registration: Participation is free, but registration is required.

- Voluntary Contribution: To make this event possible, we encourage donations.

- Discussion: Significant importance is given to audience participation for each panel. Your contributions to the discussions are therefore more than welcome if you wish to prepare something to say.

The Bandung Northern Conference is inspired by the spirit of Bandung 1955 and will be fully organized by non-white individuals. It will be a first in North America and aims to forge a political alliance among decolonial movements in the West, while addressing the challenges posed by supremacist nationalisms, ultraliberalism, and imperialist domination in all its forms.

Launched in 2018 in Paris with influential figures such as Angela Davis and Fred Hampton Junior. This first edition was an essential starting point for discussions around a decolonial international. Subsequently, a second conference was held in Brussels in 2022 and Barcelona in 2023.

The endorsers of Bandung du Nord are three emblematic figures, unjustly incarcerated in Western prisons: Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, Arab revolutionary, detained in France since 1984; Léonard Peltier, indigenous activist, imprisoned in the USA since 1976; Mumia Abu Jamal, journalist and political activist, incarcerated in the USA since 1981. These three men embody the resistance of white names in the heart of the Empire, and continue to inspire today's struggles. They also symbolize the condition of non-white men in the West.

This project (particularly the panels and conferences focused on gender) is funded by the RéQEF ou Réseau québécois d'études féministes - Antenne Concordia and Antenne UQAM, as well as other sponsors.

Hearts Based #Education and #AntiColonial #Learning in #Healthcare (H.E.A.L) Project is using the #arts to combat #HealthcareBiases.

“The H.E.A.L. #HealthcareProject provides #SystemicChange that is long overdue. I often think about the extractive ways that we talk about #CulturalSensitivity and #CulturalCompetency,” said Nicole Halbauer, H.E.A.L. Healthcare Project Manager.

The project will use #poetry, #storytelling, and #VisualArts to better understand patient experiences with a goal of #humanizing the healthcare system by bringing together #FirstNations #creators and #activists based in #PrinceGeorge.

They will work to create #ArtsBased and #AntiOppressive learning materials for healthcare staff including #nurses and #doctors.

The #FreeLessons will be available on the H.E.A.L Healthcare website.

The program is being organized by the Health Arts Research Centre in partnership with the Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health.

The project is part of the federal government’s plan to create better and safer health systems for Indigenous people with $126.7 million being committed to the project over three years.

Fight to save #PugetSound #KelpBed underscores NW #habitat challenges

July 25, 2024

"The #WashingtonState Department of Natural Resources and the #SquaxinIslandTribe have announced a partnership to conserve the #SquaxinIsland Kelp Bed, the last major kelp bed in South Puget Sound.

"DNR and the Squaxin Island Tribe will work to surround the kelp bed with a priority habitat zone, try to reduce #environmental stresses to improve the kelp bed’s health, and partner with #PugetSoundRestorationFund on future #restoration projects, according to a news release.

"Since 2013, DNR and Squaxin Island staff have seen a 97% decline in the kelp bed, which holds both ecological and cultural significance. In #Oregon, the #coastline lost more than two-thirds of its canopy of #BullKelp.

"'We recognize how important it is to protect this critical resource,' said #KrisPeters, Squaxin Island Tribe chairman, in a statement. '#Squaxins can’t do it alone; it takes us all coming together as partners. That is why this local inter-governmental agreement is so important and monumental.'

"The Squaxin Island Kelp Bed is the first habitat DNR is prioritizing in its statewide #KelpForest and #Eelgrass Meadow Health and Conservation Plan, which state legislation directed DNR to hatch in response to the loss of bull kelp and eelgrass on the Washington coastline.

"The plan’s goal is to conserve and restore at least 10,000 acres of kelp forest and eelgrass meadow habitat by 2040.

"Restoration efforts will initially focus on three pilot sub-basins: South Puget Sound, the Eastern Strait of Juan de Fuca and Grays Harbor. As DNR works toward its 10,000-acre goal, it intends to explore conservation and recovery in all sub-basins, according to DNR’s website.

"'Squaxin people have been stewarding these waters and lands for thousands of years,' Peters said in a statement. '#KelpBeds have also been stewarding these waters for thousands of years, providing nourishment and a critical ecosystem for the many plants, animals, and fish of the #SalishSea.'"

The #ClamGardens #RestorationProject has reclaimed #W̱SÁNEĆ knowledge, improved #ecosystems and provided the W̱SÁNEĆ Nation with additional funding.

From 2014 to 2019, #ParksCanada, the #W̱SÁNEĆNation and the #Hulquminum #FirstNations participated in the Clam Garden Restoration project.

Clam gardens are #AncientSites along shorelines in W̱SÁNEĆ territory that #Indigenous people tended for thousands of years to enhance the production of #clams and related sea creatures. Clams were an important source of protein for W̱SÁNEĆ people. The Clam Restoration project spent 5 years working to restore clam gardens in W̱SÁNEĆ territory. In addition to improving the #ecology of two clam gardens, the project also aimed to reclaim W̱SÁNEĆ knowledge, practices and culture related to clam gardens.

New #podcast 📻 Lebanese researchers Lara and Stephen Sheehi walk us through the day-to-day reality of psychoanalysis under occupation, Zionist psy-ops and (anti)oppressive praxis. They talk about psychological warfare and about Sumud, or the reverie of resistance.

🙏 rwm.macba.cat/en/podcasts/soni

Lara and Stephen’s work is grounded in a deep commitment to decolonial feminist, queer, and Indigenous practices of psycho-therapeutic commons in the context of Palestine.

“Ever since Arafat’s proclamation of statehood on November 15th, 1988 — considered an official holiday by the Palestinian Authority and an annual laughing stock for Palestinians in the West Bank — the ‘symbolic’ has replaced the decolonial.
