The Masar Badil: the Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement announces that our upcoming international conference on November 28th and 29th in Toronto will proceed as planned as we remain undeterred by U.S. “terrorist” sanctions and Zionist attacks. The only way to stop the cycle of imperialist repression and Zionist lawfare we are experiencing in the imperial core, from the Masar Badil to Palestine Action to Samidoun, is through the total liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea. This is why we will not stop or surrender!
The August 26th sanctions by the United States are confirmation of our political clarity, which is one that will not be deterred through racist labelling aimed at shattering the Palestinian struggle. The repression the Masar Badil is facing indicates that our work has been impactful in combatting the impact of the U.S.-Zionist propaganda on the masses. We will not alter our path or retreat as the state wants us to. Instead, we will continue to take guidance from the steadfast Palestinian Peoples in their homeland who do not bow down to genocide and settler violence, but rather resist by any means necessary.
Sanctions against the Masar Badil and our leadership are a direct result of our uncompromising politics and our commitment to liberation from the river to the sea. The revolutionary movements of the Axis of Resistance are so threatening to the West that they must outlaw those who dare name them as such. Empire and the Zionist occupation must rely heavily on the tool of mental colonization, using administrative decrees, financial strangulation, and legal designations to manufacture fear and division among the diaspora and criminalize the right to resist. We vehemently reject these tools of repressive tyranny and call on all people of conscience to reject them alongside us.
As Executive Committee member Khaled Barakat recently said, the Masar does not seek the approval of the colonizer, nor do we recognize their authority to define our struggle. The U.S. does not grant us nor take away the legitimacy to fight for a fully liberated Palestine. Our political compass remains solely guided by the Palestinian people, the prisoners, and the Axis of Resistance.
From the Palestinian Resistance, we have learned the true meaning of Jihad as a continuous, unyielding act of defiance against the colonizer. It is a comprehensive struggle that permeates every aspect of our organizing, demanding that we confront the imperialist system in the belly of the beast just as our people confront it on the ground in Palestine. We understand that standing against the empire carries consequences and comes with risks that we consciously, proudly, and steadfastly accept. Our struggle is rooted in a continuous confrontation that will only end when imperialism is abolished and the Zionist entity is dismantled.
To our allied organizations and comrades who are planning to attend and support this conference: thank you for fighting with us. We are all fighting this same imperialist enemy together, and each person who stands up to this repression strengthens our power. The only way to break free from their targeted repression is to double down on our work towards liberation. Your presence in November goes beyond an act of solidarity, it is a material disruption of the imperialist agenda.
On November 28th and 29th, together, we will gather to sharpen our unity, deepen our internationalist ties, and forge the next phase of the struggle on the road to liberation.
