Above is the link to an audio file with Palestinian music, read-aloud poetry, storytelling, and excerpts from speeches on history and liberation. It was gathered by Radio Al Hara, an internet radio station broadcast from Ramallah, Bethlehem, and Amman in Jordan, founded during the pandemic as a way to connect during isolation. “Al Hara” means ​“the neighbourhood” in Arabic. From the river to the sea! 🇵🇸

“If a white man wants to lynch me, that's his problem. If he's got the power to lynch me, that's my problem. Racism is not a question of attitude; it's a question of power. Racism gets its power from capitalism. Thus, if you're anti-racist, whether you know it or not, you must be anti-capitalist. The power for racism, the power for sexism, comes from capitalism, not an attitude.”

"Today power is defined by the amount of violence one can bring against one’s enemy — that is how you decide how powerful a country is; power is defined not by the number of people living in a country, it is not based on the amount of resources to be found in that country, it is not based upon the good will of the leaders or the majority of that people. When one talks about a powerful country, one is talking precisely about the amount of violence that that country can heap upon its enemy. (…) The way the oppressor tries to stop the oppressed from using violence as a means to attain liberation is to raise ethical or moral questions about violence. I want to state emphatically here that violence in any society is neither moral nor is it ethical. It is neither right nor is it wrong. It is just simply a question of who has the power to legalize violence. The oppressor never really puts an ethical or moral judgment on violence, except when the oppressed picks up guns against the oppressor. For the oppressor, violence is simply the expedient thing to do". Stokely Carmichael aka Kwame Ture The Pitfalls of Liberalism (1969). - A chapter from Stokely Speaks: From Black Power to Pan-Africanism (1971) - .

"The liberal is so preoccupied with stopping confrontation that he usually finds himself defending and calling for law and order, the law and order of the oppressor. Confrontation would disrupt the smooth functioning of the society and so the politics of the liberal leads him into a position where he finds himself politically aligned with the oppressor rather than with the oppressed. The reason the liberal seeks to stop confrontation [...] is that his role, regardless of what he says, is really to maintain the status quo, rather than to change it. He enjoys economic stability from the status quo and if he fights for change he is risking his economic stability. What the liberal is really saying is that he hopes to bring about justice and economic stability for everyone through reform, that somehow the society will be able to keep expanding without redistributing the wealth."

There are two dreams I have in my life. My dreams are rooted in reality, not in imagery. I dream, number one, of having coffee with my wife in South Africa, and my second dream is, I dream of having mint tea in Palestine.

Happy birthday, Kwame Ture! (June 29, 1941)

Born and credited in much of his early work as Stokely Carmichael, was a prominent civil rights campaigner, revolutionary socialist, and Pan-Africanist. Born in what was then the British colony of Trinidad and Tobago, Ture moved to Harlem at the age of 11, and became involved in political activism in high school, helping to boycott a local White Castle which refused to hire Black employees. In the 1960s, Ture became known as a prominent figure in the Civil Rights Movement, working with CORE in the Freedom Rides and organizing with SNCC. He grew dissatisfied with working with the Democratic Party through his experiences in the Civil Rights Movement, and turned to more radical politics. Influenced by the writings of Frantz Fanon and Malcom X, Ture came to embrace Black nationalism and Pan-Africanism as chairman of SNCC. Ture popularized the slogan "Black Power," and moved SNCC away from nonviolence as a central organizing principle. His activism made him a target of the FBI, which spread false information about Ture to tarnish his reputation and prevent a merger of SNCC and the Black Panther Party. Ture became an internationally-recognized figure, and he moved to Guinea in the late 1960s, where he became a student of Kwame Nkrumah and advisor to Ahmed Sekou Toure, renaming himself after them. The final decades of Ture's life were dedicated to organizing with the All-African People's Revolutionary Party globally, and traveled frequently to speak in favor of Pan-Africanism and socialism. He died in 1998 of prostate cancer.

“The job of a revolutionary is, of course, to overthrow unjust systems and replace them with just systems because a revolutionary understands this can only be done by the masses of the people. So, the task of the revolutionary is to organize the masses of the people, given the conditions of the Africans around the world who are disorganized, consequently, all my efforts are going to organizing people.”

Kwame Ture: "Anytime you make an analysis of an oppressed people, in any aspect of their life, and you leave out the enemy, you will never come to a correct analysis. On the contrary, you will blame the oppressed for all of their problems." [video from: @/ SpiritofLenin on X.]

Many people want to know why, out of the entire white segment of society, we want to criticize the liberals. We have to criticize them because they represent the liaison between both groups, between the oppressed and the oppressor. The liberal tries to become an arbitrator, but he is incapable of solving the problems. He promises the oppressor that he can keep the oppressed under control; that he will stop them from becoming illegal (in this case illegal means violent). At the same time, he promises the oppressed that he will be able to alleviate their suffering-in due time. Historically, of course, we know this is impossible. and our era will not escape history.
