From Atlanta to Palestine, Our Resistance is Intertwined
The zionist settler colonial entity has killed 21,000 Palestinians in Gaza since October 7. This genocide is funded by US tax dollars. Even prior to the establishment of illegal zionist colonization, white British settlers and white supremacist lynch mobs roamed Palestine instituting terror to displace Palestinians in a manner reminiscent to the KKK. Zionist colonization came about in 1897 with the First World Zionist Congress which later held debates on settling in parts of East Africa before deciding on Palestine.
Our brave comrades in Palestine have long resisted against zionist settler violence. Here in Atlanta, we see the offering our Palestinian comrades give the world, and are ready to rise to the moment. We know the israeli occupation forces train the Atlanta police department in a program called GILEE, Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange. We know that the connection between Black people in Atlanta and Palestinians is a material thread that links two occupied peoples liberating ourselves from imperialism. Palestinian prisoners and Black liberation fighters have a long history of collaboration and solidarity.
this site is a small, short resource to remind everyone in Atlanta (and across the world) that we all have a role to play in destroying settler colonialism. the resources here are just a short offering to help you get started. educate yourself on Black and Palestinian solidarity via the timeline, grab a crew of friends, and hit the streets. find an organization. plug in where you can and escalate from there.
