Ben Gurion 1938

The choice is between Israeli colonialism vs. decolonial justice

The opposition to a “pro-Israel” position is not a “pro-Palestine” position, but rather a decolonial position.

This not only captures the reality of conditions in Palestine/Israel, but also seeks to transform them into something new and just.

“When we say that the Arabs are the aggressors and we defend ourselves – that is only half the truth. As regards our security and life we defend ourselves….
But the fighting is only one aspect of the conflict, which is in its essence a political one.
And politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves.”
