How to Practice Decolonized Solidarity

– Amplify Palestinian Voices: Follow Palestinian journalists, scholars, and organizers. Avoid Western-centered narratives that erase Palestinian agency. Western individuals can continue to support decolonial solidarity by amplifying Palestinian voices, prioritizing their leadership, and advocating for justice without speaking on their behalf or overshadowing their lived experiences.

– Challenge Zionism and Western Complicity: Confront pro-Israel narratives in your community, media, and political spaces.

– Support Economic Resistance: Join the BDS movement and campaign against companies that profit from Israeli apartheid. Remove israeli products from the european markets. 

– Reject Co-optation by Governments and NGOs: Be wary of efforts to sanitize or depoliticize Palestinian resistance in the name of neutrality.

– Push for Policy Change: Advocate for an end to U.S. and European military aid to Israel and demand accountability from political leaders. Stop economical, political and cultural cooperation with Israel, which normalize the occupation.
