Freedom Is a Constant Struggle

Angela Y. Davis

Progressive struggles whether they are focused on racism, repression, poverty or other issues, are doomed to fail if they do not also attempt to develop a consciousness of the insidious promotion of capitalist individualism.

I see my work as reflecting not an individual analysis but rather a sense within movements and collectives that it was not possible to separate issues of race from issues of class and issues of gender.

Just as the struggle to end South African apartheid was embraced by people all over the world and was incorporated into many social justice agendas, solidarity with Palestine must likewise be taken up by organizations and movements involved in progressive causes all over the world. The tendency has been to consider Palestine a separate and unfortunately too often marginal issue. This is precisely the moment to encourage everyone who believes in equality and justice to join the call for a free Palestine.

El segundo siglo de guerra se caracterizaría por un nuevo enfoque, aún más destructivo, de la cuestión palestina, en el que Estados Unidos se coordinaría estrechamente con Israel y sus nuevos amigos en las monarquías absolutas del Golfo.

Except for Palestine: The Limits of Progressive Politics Marc Lamont Hill , Mitchell Plitnick For those who have never lived in a system of violence like the Israeli occupation, it is hard to understand how simply not going anywhere constitutes resistance. But when the objective of your oppressor is to get you to leave your land, staying put is part of the daily struggle. In this sense, every Palestinian living under the Israeli occupation is a nonviolent resistor.
