The PFLP calls upon all individuals of conscience worldwide to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle against hegemony and colonialism. Our battle serves as an inspiring example for all oppressed people on this planet. Our struggle embodies the determination to overcome all forms of oppression, dominance, and injustice.

The PFLP urges all liberation movements, political parties, unions, activists, and individuals worldwide with a sense of justice to exhaust every action against the Zionist state, its affiliates and supporters, to show tangible support for Palestine and the Palestinian people. We must be the voice for those who have been silenced, including every child who has been lost and every political prisoner who endures suffering behind bars. Our resistance is the only just course of action. We will not idly watch while our people are killed and tormented, and we will not remain passive in the face of ongoing ethnic cleansing. Our people have the inalienable right to live in safety and dignity.

Eartha Kitt

An American actress, singer, and activist, Eartha Kitt (1927-2008) remains an incredibly influential and controversial figure in American culture.

Born on a cotton plantation to a single mother of Cherokee and African descent (and almost certainly a White father) and raised in Harlem, New York City, Kitt studied performing arts from a young age. Her distinctive voice made her stand out in the Katherine Dunham Company, the first African-American dance company.

In 1950, Kitt starred as Helen of Troy in Dr. Faustus (a role given by Orson Welles, who called her "the most exciting woman in the world"). Her fame grew, until she was featured as Catwoman in the Batman television series in the late 1960s.

Her professional life took a massive hit when she made anti-Vietnam war statements during a White House luncheon, making First Lady Johnson burst into tears. In response, the CIA defamed her, and Kitt focused on her work abroad in Europe and Asia for a time. Kitt could speak in four languages (English, German, Dutch, French) and sing in eleven.

In the late 1970s and the 1980s, Kitt returned to work on Broadway, where she received widespread acclaim, and continued to perform for years.

Kitt was a widespread social and political activist. In addition to her anti-war stance, she established the Kittsville Youth Foundation, was a support of Rebels with a Cause (a D.C. based group focused on beautifying the city). Kitt publically supports LGBT rights and considers same-sex marriage a civil right.

Notable songs by Eartha Kitt include: 1. "C'est si bon" (composed 1947 by Henri Betti, performed 1953) 2. "Santa Baby" (1953) 3. "I Want to Be Evil" (1954)

Notable roles by Eartha Kitt include: 1. Catwoman (Batman 1967) 2. Shaleem-La-Lume (Timbuktu! 1978. Tony nomination) 3. Dolores (The Wild Party 2000. Tony nomination) 4. Yzma (The Emperor's New Groove 2000. Kronk's New Groove 2005. The Emperor's New School 2006-2008. Two Daytime Emmy Awards.) 5. The Cool Cat (Wonder Pets! Guest performance. 2010. Daytime Emmy Award).

"today's youth could never handle a world war"

my sister in christ,

NO ONE FROM ANY TIME COULD

this generation is no more or less human than those of the past, you just never truly knew the lives those past generations lived

only the idealized versions, where everyone comes out a living hero

there are NO "pure" heroes from war, best case scenario is a deeply traumatized person who had their developmental years stolen by a fist of imperial steel, with and/or against the swing depending on which side of which fight

the human was not built to stand against nor wield that imperial steel, and those who do will find it's not steel, but lead

lead, whose poison slowly kills them, killer and/or survivor

lead, whose weight bears down on them for the remainders of their lives, killer and/or survivor

lead, who blasts through their fragile bones, killer and/or killed

THE HUMAN IS NOT BUILT FOR WAR

#a verick original post #philosophyposting #antiwar #yet another post where i got increasingly poetic as it went on by complete accident #humanity #war #i can't tell if im cooking here or not #i tried to make it as consistent as possible #if i put more time and thought into this it could be a really good poem #could definitely do some wordplay with steel + steal and lead + led

There are cloned soldiers stationed in your city. You've seen warriors from your empires military come to your planet before, but never clones. Clones have a diffrent place in the eyes of society then the rest of the military, there's something a bit creepy about them.

Most of them stay at the edges of the city. They're not socialized to talk to anyone outside of their own ranks, they just stand there, all in the same uniform, lighter armor then anyone else in the military has, and gas masks hiding all of their faces. But there's one who you see walking the streets near your apartment, the trench coat over their little body, the gas mask still covering their face.

You decide to talk to them when they've been wandering around for awhile. You're not sure if you're supposed to. They are carrying a laser gun after all. They're terrible at talking to people, but in a way that's almost cute, they're weirdly excited just to talk to someone. They tell you someone handed them a rose while they were marching, and they couldn't understand why, and that they came here to understand.

You offer to show them around the city for the handful of days they have here. You take them out for lunch, and they eat real meat and real fruit for the first time, and they're so happy to finally feel full. You show them a meusum, and they're so excited to find out so many things about the world that they never knew existed, so many exciting and beautiful things, that the world of the barracks they spend their entire life in made seem impossible. And you take them to a toy store you passed, because they didn't understand what toys were, because they were never a child, and you end up buying a doll for them, which they're weirdly excited for. And even though they were born an adult they got to enjoy that doll for a little bit, and feel what it was like to have the childhood they never got to have.

They got to come over to your apartment at one point. And they took off their gas mask for the first time, and breathed fresh air. And when you saw their face you called them pretty, and they were so happy, because nobody had ever called them pretty before. And when you showed them television they were so mesmerized.

And at some point you cuddled together, you don't know why but you did. And you saw their body, a body built to save of recourses, so small and skinny and completely sexless. But you cuddled them and they seemed happy, they took to affection so enthusiastically, melting in your arms. And you pet the scar from where a laser from an enemy gun hit their leg, and told them they didn't deserve to have that happen to them, and that shouldn't have had to fight.

After a few days they had to leave. They were being deployed somewhere else, to fight some human or alien enemy, somewhere far away on a bleeding battlefield. You don't know what happened to them, you like to think that they ran away because of you, or mabye that they survived a few battles and became high enough in rank to live a comfortable life. But most clones made for the battlefield don't last long, dying so that someone more important they could live. Chances are their life ended in some grey pit, to a laser or a bullet. You hope you could give them some comfort before that happened.

We need you to take immediate action — wherever you are in the world — to prevent the arming of the Israeli state and the companies involved in the infrastructure of the blockade. We take inspiration from previous mobilizations by trade unions in Italy, South Africa and the United States and similar international mobilizations against the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in the 1930s, the fascist dictatorship in Chile in the 1970s and elsewhere where global solidarity limited the extent of colonial brutality.

We are calling on trade unions in relevant industries:

To refuse to build weapons destined for Israel.

To refuse to transport weapons to Israel.

To pass motions in their trade union to this effect.

To take action against complicit companies involved in implementing Israel’s brutal and illegal siege, especially if they have contracts with your institution.

Pressure governments to stop all military trade with Israel and, in the case of the U.S., stop funding it.
