grantees G**s Against Guns respond to the Virginia Beach shooting with a reminder to us all

via grantees Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM)- حركة الشباب الفلسطيني:

"REFLECTIONS ON OUR DELEGATION TO SOUTH AFRICA— Since returning from Johannesburg, we've had some time to reflect on what South Africa can teach us about our own struggle as Palestinians.

"Witnessing South Africa’s persistent social, racial, and economic inequities, that are remnants of colonialism and Apartheid, we problematized the way we, as Palestinians, understand the apartheid analysis. While apartheid is a structural component of the Palestinian colonial condition, it does not comprehensively define it, nor does it prescribe a political solution for us. We recognized the need for our struggle to be informed by a de/anti-colonial praxis in order to obtain full rights and full justice including a redistribution of land, wealth, and power, and the actualization of the refugee return to historic Palestine."
