I’m not a violent person. I try to have a “love all” and “do unto others” kind of view, but honestly I think one of the most empowering images is seeing riot police being hit with molotov cocktails

I don’t support any state, or any form of nationalism.

can you help me understand how a person can both support the Palestinian struggle and totally reject nationalism?

Just because I support the Palestinian people’s right to resist one form of oppression, national oppression, doesn’t mean that I don’t also support resistance against all other forms, including their economic exploitation at the hands of domestic capitalists. This is why I don’t support nationalism as an ideology, because at its heart is the idea that workers and capitalists have something in common, something worth putting aside their differences for. For a depressingly large number of leftists other forms of oppression can also be apparently swept under the carpet – for example you’ll see support for sexist, homophobic groups like Hamas…it’s this odd Marxist thing of choosing one form of oppression and making it the only one that really matters, suddenly sexism is ok, anti-semitism is ok, attacking organised labour is ok, as long as you’re on the ‘right’ side of the national question. I’m an internationalist, and I see it as a precondition of internationalism is that no nation should be being occupied and oppressed by another. While this is a precondition, it’s not liberation in itself…real liberation can only come from an international social revolution, which will mean the end of all national boundaries, the destruction of borders. This is why I think “national liberation” is a mystification – I can understand why people use it, but to me it’s liberation in the same way that removing the prison guard’s boot from your neck is “liberation”.  You’re not suffering that particular oppression any more, but you’re still in jail.
