boy that infant really shouldn’t have let that cluster bomb fall on his head was he even trying

Great, we can keep being perpetually blood feuding with eachother for all eternity, great solution, once we've exiled and eradicated all hateful people the remainder will live in peace and prosperity forever.

This is not Fanon's point, nor is it mine. The Wretched of The Earth Is a seminal text on colonialism for good reason. In it, Fanon is grappling with what it means for the colonized to violently resist.

The settler state is already violent. We just don't usually conceive of state violence as such. Fanon is correct in the same way that the way to deal with a schoolyard bully is to stand up and confront him. Not appeal to his better angels.

(It's not like that thinking isn't basically how we got here or anything)

This misunderstands the situation. This isn't some ancient conflict where both sides are equivalent. The Israeli state is the aggressor here, and that aggression has a clear beginning, with at least the Nakbah.

The land itself is the thing being fought over. Not some nebulous blood feud. The land, the capacity to live on it, work on it, cultivate it, to have history on that land. These are things being denied to the native Palestinians by the Israeli state.

The solution here is the right of return for all displaced Palestinians, restoration of their civil liberties, language rights, etc. So they might be able govern themselves, as they see fit.

For a colonized people the most essential value, because it is the most concrete, is first and foremost the land: the land which will bring them bread and, above all, dignity -The Wretched of The Earth

What we are asking for is not violence, what we are asking for is a free Palestine for all its citizens, regardless of religion. We want the religious ethno-supremacist state built on our stolen land to become free.

We aren't asking for blood, and we aren't asking to exile or eradicate anyone.

You're blaming two years of genocide on a single act of violent resistance. How we got here is 500 of our villages destroyed, many massacres against our people, 700 thousand of us expelled from our ancestral homelands, and 77 years of oppression and shooting our kids while calling us animals and snakes.

History will reflect October 7 as the Gaza ghetto uprising that it was, violent resistance to 75 years of dehumanizing us and colonizing our land, and 16 years of military siege on our people in Gaza.

Imagine telling Jews in WW2 they should have died peacefully because resisting violently is how we got here.

Some Israelis are living in the land of their grandfathers but most of them have countries of origin they can be returned to. If that would be bad for them, there's always countries they can emigrate to. But most solutions that aren't zionist or "two state" are along the lines of "abolish the ethnostate and replace it with a real democracy" in which case the people currently living in Israel (minus those guilty of crimes against humanity) largely go about their lives as they did before.

Yes and POTUS believes that Tylenol causes Autism. Just because leaders believe something doesn't make it true.
