A read that sums it all up:
https://www.thefp.com/p/this-is-what-decolonizatio...

On Saturday, as the raping and murdering and kidnapping were happening in Israel, Najma Sharif, a writer for Soho House magazine and Teen Vogue, posted on X: 'What did y'all think decolonization meant? vibes? papers? essays? losers.'

So far, Sharif's post has been liked 100,000 times and reposted nearly 23,000 times'by, among others, The Washington Post's global opinions editor, Karen Attiah.

The point was: Don't be squeamish. Never mind the Jewish girl being pulled by her hair with blood streaming between her legs. Never mind the women being raped beside the corpses of their friends at a music festival. Never mind the children and babies snatched from their parents.

If you can't handle it, if you condemn it without a preamble or equivocation, you're an apologist for the Zionist colonizers.

All this is a good reminder that when people say something, they often mean it, and we should believe them, or at least take them seriously. Fancy-sounding academic jargon is not a curious intellectual exercise. Words make worlds.

Words mean things.

Meanwhile, the ersatz activists of Hollywood and Silicon Valley are eerily quiet. The people who turned the Ukrainian flag into their avatars, those who worry about misgendering and triggering and safe spaces, those who insist words are violence (those for whom violence is apparently not violence)'they're busy ignoring all this.

We should listen closely to these latter-day Bolsheviks and their many enablers. They are being honest. They are saying exactly what they believe and what they want to see happen.

And sometimes, the absence of words speaks volumes.
