Hello em poc comrades! Today I bring a quote from the Samidoun Network on the ceasefire in Gaza and the hostage exchange, the “Flood of the Free”.
Our strength and our unity comes from standing together against repression, and for liberation, not in allowing our enemies to cut us off from one another through a politics that seeks accommodation within genocidal imperialism, self-censorship and subordination. It is, at the core, the armed resistance, the Palestinian prisoners, and of course, the people of Gaza, who exposed Zionism and imperialism and brought down all of their military objectives, who are opening the doors of freedom for the heroic prisoners of the cause of Palestine, and who promise a Palestinian future that will be determined only by the people and not by its occupiers, invaders and enemies. This is an indelible stamp and a historical moment upon the road to liberation and return for all of Palestine, brought ever closer.
And from RNN Prisoners:
The current exchange deal, “Flood of the Free,” represents a milestone in our struggle and an added victory to the long march of liberation, affirming that the will for freedom is stronger than all the jailer’s chains.
Long Live Palestine! From the River to the Sea!
As always, this thread is em poc only.
“Quota” allegations are silly because quotas haven’t been legal in decades (Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, 1978). This is a law that favors white people and they could sue their employers for discrimination if there are actual racial quotas in place. Actual AA is more about preventing discriminatory interview questions or hiring practices. It’s the reason employers can’t ask what religion you belong to, whether or not you’re pregnant, married, or specifically require you to list your ethnicity (though they can ask). Of course, a lot of these are ignored or are used to skirt around the law and discriminate anyway.
The real reason they won’t take things to court is because they’re full of shit and they know they’re full of shit. It’s white people complaining they have to put 75% of the effort vs. the 50% they were doing before while minorities are expected to give 110%.
