As you witness the horrors that “Israel” has been committing in the arenas of genocide, surveillance, targeting children, destroying food, gardens, trees, rituals. Torture, imprisonment, poison, lies. Mocking, shaming, stealing, destroying. Demolishing hospitals, schools, museums, burials, homes. Salting the earth. Running over humans, raping, assaulting all while laughing with glee.
We must learn to critically inquire inward under the very eye of the U.S. Empire. We must jostle our privilege within the imperial core.
We must be horrified at what is happening right in front of us. We must bring into proximity the terror of the
U.S. as USians.
Do not only look outward but also look within.
Empire, founded by and only through punishing its people, will only become more inwardly punitive.
Bombs and rubble may be one method, but there are many that are just as oppressive. It can be banning speech and protest, banning choice over one’s own body, surveillance culture, and more.
Be vigilant, those of us inside of Empire.
It will get more turbulent yet. Be ready.
