Alyson and Breht discuss the ongoing national liberation struggle in Palestine (recorded Oct. 30th 2023). Together, they discuss the incredible shift in public opinion on Israel and Palestine, the internal and external contradictions culminating in unison for Israel, the discussion about whether or not what Israel is doing is technically a genocide (it absolutely is), international law, Frantz Fanon on the psychology of national liberation, the prospects of a broader regional war, the possibilities of Turkish or Iranian engagement, the history and core elements of Zionism, the analytical importance of the settler colonial and decolonization frameworks, the disgusting role that Biden and the Democratic Party are playing in manufacturing consent for Israel's civilian mass murder campaign, how Hamas is basically an orphan army of men who have had their families killed by Israel in previous assaults, why we should reject the "terrorist" framing of the western ruling elites, what the palestinian resistance has managed to accomplish, and what might emerge from the Ruins of Gaza when all is said and done...

0:00.0 | Hello, you are listening to Red Minus. |
0:18.4 | My name is Allison and I am here with Brett and it has been a little bit since we have |
0:22.8 | done an episode. |
0:24.0 | We've had pretty busy schedules in both of our lives that have taken us away from the |
0:27.4 | show for a little bit. |
0:28.8 | But we are back today to discuss a very important issue that I think is, you know, an obligation |
0:35.6 | for hominous to speak out about at the moment and to be pushing, you know, where these discussions |
0:40.5 | are going. |

0:46.5 | we are seeing there as Palestinian resistance is fighting back against Israeli occupation |
0:51.2 | and genocide and we are seeing a big flare up happening in this context. |
0:55.9 | One of the reasons that I think, you know, it's important for us to talk about this |
0:59.0 | is really one of the things that I'm most proud of Red Minus for is that we have been |
1:03.3 | very vocal about decolonization both as a historical reality and as a theoretical position. |
1:09.5 | We have episodes throughout the past of our show looking into the work of Fennon looking |
1:14.6 | into how decolonization was explored in the battle of Algiers as a film and looking into |
1:20.1 | how to understand the, you know, entire genocide that is happening within Palestine through |
1:26.3 | the winds of subterrall colonialism and decolonial struggle. |
1:29.6 | And one thing that I think is very important that we always come back to as communists |
1:33.8 | is to tie our views into the necessity for decolonization for decolonial struggle and |
1:38.7 | what that means. |
