Gaza has 2 million inhabitants, 42.3% of which are 14 and younger. Anyone else a little bit worried?

    So there’s a movement called “land back” which is about restoring ownership of native lands to the indigenous populations, especially ownership of valuable resources such as mining rights.

    There is no violent resistance so that is a meaningless hypothetical but there is a movement to restore economic autonomy in the form of land ownership and reparations and I think yes you should support something like that - which is the actually existing equivalent for Americans/Canadians/Australians etc.

      There is no violent resistance

      Wounded Knee 2 was 50 years ago. Second Zapatista uprising 30 years ago. Land defense actions over the last decade+ have generally been nonviolent but diversity of tactics is important especially when the settlers are so entrenched and the colonized so fractured and ledgoverned by multiple generations of compradors.

      land back is part of that diversity of tactics but it’s entirely insufficient on its own and absolutely ripe for grifting and abuse
