Recognising Palestine: The Ghost of Britain’s Past

Lest we forget, the British and its fellow white European colonisers carved up the whole of Africa, and parts of Asia, creating borders and nations that are still in conflict today. What is the point of even learning history in Britain, if in 2025 we are still making the same mistakes as 1884. White men don’t get to tell us how to govern our lands. Sudan, Congo, Kashmir, and Palestine are live examples of the conflicts imperialism has left in its wake. Our blood is not cheap and our resistance is defined by us, not your recognition of us.

The Façade of Freedom

An elementary understanding of justice tells you that our “democracy” is nothing other than smoke and mirrors. 90% of our print media is owned by just three companies and it is even worse online. Google, Meta and their AI tools spread misinformation like a toxic gas. We have sleepwalked into the era of the thought police, mistaking mind control for progress and ease! Anyone who has used Instagram since the beginning of this genocide to share stories from Palestinians will tell you that the devil works hard, but the Zionists at Meta work harder.

Heroes and Villains

Many of us have realised that the values of freedom and justice, of free speech and equality, were never meant to be applied to all people. We have seen the lengths our governments are willing to go to, not only to silence us, but to keep the war machine chugging along. Conservatives or Labour, Democrats or Republicans, our governments interests no longer lies in serving the people, but in serving the interests of big money players.
