PALESTINE CHRONICLE:

When we were children, there was a simple game that required neither a ball nor a playground, not even much space. All we needed was a group of children and someone to call out: “Move!” We would run, jump, laugh, and scatter. Then came the word we all knew: “Statue.”

At once, we had to stop. No hand could move, no foot could advance, no head could turn. We had to become little statues, and whoever moved lost. We laughed when someone failed to control their body, or when a suppressed giggle betrayed them.

We did not know then that, years later, life itself could become a harsher version of that game.

In war, we no longer play “Move… Statue” by choice. The planes, missiles, checkpoints, and fear have taken over as the voice calling out the commands. War tells us, “Move,” and we run, searching for somewhere safer. Then, without warning, it says, “Statue,” and we freeze where we are, lower our heads, hold our breath, and wait.

October 7 has come and gone, along with its abundance of articles commemorating Al Aqsa Flood as well as the past three years of resistance. Yet, as many have pointed out, resistance was not born on that day, nor was Israeli violence.

For this reason, political education is imperative for understanding Palestinian resistance to Israeli colonization. Moreover, Indigenous voices should be centered, specifically those revolutionary thinkers whose theoretical analysis paved the way for revolutionary leaders of today.

“(Palestinian resistance) did not emerge in an ideological vacuum,” explain the editors of Thinking Palestine, “nor can it be separated from the history of settler colonialism, dispossession, occupation, imprisonment, siege and repeated massacres that produced it.”
