In solidarity with the ongoing Palestinian uprising we vandalized the building of a US Naval Officer office in central North Carolina. We painted the doors with the message, “Free Palestine” and smashed the windows. We stand with all the oppressed people of the world who fight for liberation, and recognize the violence of the colonized cannot be equated with the violence of the colonizer. We don’t believe there is a state solution to colonization, and while there are many things we don’t know we are sure that the US war machine is and always will be one of the main roadblocks to freedom all over the world, and so it is on us, in the belly of the beast to do what we can to attack it.
“To what extent do legal demonstrations even matter anymore? If it were not for the so-called “mindless riots” by the youth, we would know absolutely nothing about Ferguson, MO. Only because the young people stood up and physically resisted the cops did the media and gov’t even pay attention. We should not be fooled by all the middle class appeals to pacifism or reformism, were it not for the threat of serious violent conflict, the authorities would not have even gone to the degree that they have to acknowledge a problem. Peace without justice is surrender. Now we have to press forward to community armed self-defense and revolutionary politics.”
They’re a right-wing Islamist organization which was promoted and supported by Israel to eliminate secular organizations like the PFLP which it considered to be a greater threat, and now constitutes the largest and most well-supplied segment of the Palestinian resistance. I would much rather PFLP govern a free Palestine, but the immediate matter is Palestine’s liberation, to which any other concerns should be subordinated.
tl;dr they’re not great but the middle of an intifada isn’t the time to quibble.
i just sent this to someone but this is essentially the same thing the PFLP themselves said in their statement, which should be referenced and respected more in the discourse imo because it very effectively disqualifies the constant parade of bad faith leftist theoryjerk anons like this one
Fake moon landing: “I don’t trust the government” and “I’m dubious of what is scientifically possible”- Frustrating, but understandable. 7/10.
Roswell aliens: “I dont trust the government” and “I enjoy scientific discoveries”- Palatable. No racist undertones. 9/10.
Bigfoot: “Lack of evidence is not proof of nonexistence”- Palatable, understandable, flawed, weird in a fun way. Kooky more than harmful. 8/10, would buy them bumper stickers and novelty T-shirts for Christmas.
Nessie: Bigfoot with a European maritime twist. 8/10. Taking full advantage to encourage a Scotland vacation. Edit: I just remembered young earth creationists were a thing. If this is a “dinosaurs are still around and earth is 6,000 years old” deal it’s a 2/10.
Moon is fake: “I don’t trust anything I can’t touch”. Aggravating. Probably doesn’t wash hands, either. The annoying uncle at Thanksgiving dinner. Amusing to watch as long as you don’t get invested. 4/10
Earth is flat: Trendy but stupid. “The government and science are both liars”. Half points for being half right, but docking more for being basic as hell. 2/10
Hollow earth: Points for creativity. Loses a few for, again, being dumb as hell. An intriguing Brendan Frasier-esque sense of whimsy and adventure. 5/10, would take the opportunity to go spelunking on long weekends.
Advanced Atlantis: Doesn’t sound racist at first but definitely branches out into racism. If it’s surface-level “Atlantis existed and had cool stuff” it’s a 6/10, but if it’s “Atlantis still exists in a bubble at the bottom of the ocean and had flying cars and shit” it’s a 2/10.
Pyramids built by Napolean: Racist and dumb, and probably too dumb to realize it’s racist. Not sure if that’s better or worse. 0/10
EgyptianMummies are fake: Dumb. Never heard of it before but refuse to validate it with research. Either very dumb and also racist or just very dumb. We literally have Egyptian mummies. Rich white people used to eat them for fake medicine. What are you talking about. -5/10

Responding to this emergency situation, Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP)’s team on the ground in Gaza are releasing all of our pre-positioned stocks, worth $570,000 USD (approximately £465,000), to ensure hospitals and emergency responders have the supplies they need to cope with an unprecedented influx of casualties.
The list of supplies provided by MAP includes essential drugs and disposables, lab reagents and support for Gaza’s blood bank services. Some of these supplies are already being delivered to Al Awda Hospital.
