THE EMPIRE’S DEATH RATTLE: A REJECTION OF ANY CONDEMNATION AGAINST NEUTRALIZING OPPRESSORS

The past few days have torn the mask off Zionism and has shaken the spirit of all those who defend it.

In Occupied Jerusalem, six Zionist settlers were killed after falling under the fire of Palestinian resistance. This wasn’t some “senseless act”—this was the inevitable result of decades of massacres, humiliation, and much more recently, the intentional destruction and annihilation of Gaza. Palestinian resistance has made it very clear: the occupier will never be safe on stolen land.

The very next day, israeli warplanes crossed multiple borders to bomb Qatar, in an effort to target Palestinian leaders who were seeking to secure a ceasefire in good faith. At the same time, it continues to target civilians in Yemen, while it prepares to make a final push into Gaza City. These crimes prove that the Zionist entity fears peace itself, that it prefers blood over dialogue. It has demonstrated to the world for all to see that israel will not rest until it has total dominion over the region.

And today, in the heart of Empire, we are told by both liberals and conservatives within media and government to mourn a figure like Charlie Kirk—a man who built his career amplifying hatred against the oppressed and defending israel’s holocaust in Palestine. His rhetoric served as a loyal mouthpiece for Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, and the other architects of genocide. He championed the starvation of Gaza’s children and glorified the slaughter of our people. His life’s work was to shield Zionism as well as stoke hatred against the rest of us. Netanyahu himself gave words of prayer for Kirk’s safety, shortly before his death was known. Hours after his death was confirmed, videos out of Gaza show israeli war criminals bombing Palestinian homes “in his honor.”

We’re going to be very clear: Zionist settlers with rifles on our land and Zionist propagandists with microphones in the Empire are two arms of the same monster. One destroys the homes of our families in Palestine and the other justifies it to build consent with lies. Both are part of the same machinery of genocide. Both sustain the occupation. Both are just as complicit.

To shed tears for a Zionist like Charlie Kirk—to offer sympathies for him—while ignoring the corpses of Gaza is to share in these Zionist crimes. To condemn resistance while remaining silent about the bombing of refugee camps is to choose the side of the occupier. There is no middle ground. There is no center. There is no neutral take.

We affirm from the heart of the Imperial Core, the Palestinian people have the right to resist in all arenas—political, cultural, and popular—and we reject attempts to delegitimize our own peoples struggle by equating colonizer and colonized, or giving any kind of sympathy to the oppressor.

The road to justice will not be paved by the tears of cowards, but by the unyielding commitment of the oppressed to their liberation.

Globalize the Intifada, in spite of those who say otherwise.

Glory to the martyrs.
