Solidarity with Palestine must be about decolonisation, not just ceasefire: Opinion piece

“As we approach a year of genocidal warfare, important questions are emerging about the way forward for the Palestinian solidarity movement.
“In my conversations with various pro-Palestinian activists, one theme has emerged: the urgent need to shift the movement’s goal from stopping the war to decolonising Palestine. That is because a ceasefire will not end the genocidal violence Palestinians face.
“Instead of focusing on a ceasefire, the pro-Palestinian protest movement should embrace demands for decolonisation.
“It needs to place the Palestinian question back into an anticolonial framework and reaffirm its place within the history of the decolonisation struggle. This entails deconstructing the delusion of the peace process promoted by the United States.”
