A ceasefire is of utmost importance right now to stop the immediate genocide. But it is crucial that, beyond an eventual ceasefire, we continue to push to dismantle Israel’s colonial occupation and apartheid system. Israeli atrocities will continue until we decolonize Palestine.

They are driven to murder us, driven to commit genocide, because they know deep down that the land is ours. They cannot live with that fact, so they must kill us for it. But no amount of violence will ever extinguish Palestinian Indigenous sovereignty, from the river to the sea.

Israeli apartheid is only one dimension of the broader project of Israeli settler colonialism, seeking to eliminate Palestinians from Palestine. Zionism is the supremacist ideology driving this project. Decolonisation is the path to liberation, not inclusion in a settler state.

Palestinian Indigenous sovereignty is the pit in the olive that breaks the tooth of the coloniser. It’s the stitches that sew together a fragmented land. It’s the refusal to forget, collapsing the time since alNakba. It’s the molten heart of Palestine that cannot be extinguished.
