These moments of anti-colonial resistance are always litmus tests. The fact that militants in Gaza attacked their oppressors, pushed out of their concentration camp in a way they had not pushed out for a long time, should be celebrated by anyone who cares about struggles against oppression, "decolonialism", or anything that has to do with the oppressed standing up for themselves. Anyone who understands how settler-colonialism functions should be able to recognize that settlements are colonial garrisons - but we were not allowed to think that. Instead everyone was asked to denounce this resistance to colonial violence: denounce Hamas, denounce the imagined atrocities! Stories of beheaded babies and sexual violence were circulated, all of which were admitted to be made up later on but still these imagined atrocities circulate. So yes the litmus test: Who among the so-called left chose to accept these stories as real, why did they not question colonial propaganda

Well hate is a strong word and I doubt an MGA would use their power for personal reasons. Besides, I don't think an MGA could do anything to you, they're legislators - they cannot prosecute or ban or otherwise harm you even if they wanted to.

I briefly looked through our library. I was wondering if anyone had resources for those who would like to act or agitate? Not like violence just how to organize and protest or etc.

Joining a mass organisation or local unions/mutual aid/activism groups are always good uses of time, here's a non-exhaustive list focused mostly on parties:

Getting Involved - A Party Near You!

by The Mass Line of Comradeland

Are you new to socialism or dont know how to get involved or where to start? This list is meant to provide a base for the new activist in putting their feet in the water of the struggle. If you have information to add to this please message me with it.
