Dear Students,

If Palestine has ignited our planetary consciousness once again, it is your movement that insists on rising to the moment at the very core of the imperial world. It is you who have refused to let genocide become our normal; you who have refused to accept “business-as-usual” in the shadow of the mechanized slaughter of thousands of children. You who have refused complicity in a genocide effectively administered by the world’s most powerful states in the advanced capitalist west, a genocide the liberal democracies of “the free world” fall over themselves to arm, finance, rationalize, and abet. And in doing so, you have refused our collective gaslighting; you remind us that we’re not actually going insane, that this sense of madness is the only human response to this global choreography of carnage, to image after image after image of ashen lifeless children being pulled out of the rubble in the name of “western civilization and values.”
