There is that word again, terrorist. Who determines who's a terrorist and who is a freedom fighter? When the Algierians liberated themselves from the french they were terrorists, when zimbabwe liberated itself from the settler colonialism of Rhodesia they were labeled terrorist, when Iraqis fought back against their American occupiers they were called terrorist. So what is a terrorist other than an oppressed individual who opposes colonialism and imperialism through whatever means necessary? Who incites more terror, the oppressed person brought to immense violence or the empire who's oppression created them? Terrorist is a pejorative we use to dehumanize those who violently oppose their own destruction through any means available to them. I need you to think on this. I need you to genuinely wonder about who gets labelled terorist, why, and who the label serves. If the word had existed at the time the British would have called US revolutionaries terrorists. Hell, The French did call their revolutionaries terrorists. I wholeheartedly support Hamas in their fight against Israeli occupation and genocide. I encourage you to do the same.
