¡Todo Boricua Machetero!
March 21st marked the 88th anniversary of the Ponce Massacre; April 26th, the birth of Filiberto Ojeda Ríos. The Ponce Massacre is a pivotal point in the history of Puerto Rico’s fight for independence, reminding us of the steep cost of challenging colonial power and undertaking our legitimate struggle for national liberation and self-determination. Many years later, in the tradition of Albizu, Blanca, Lolita, and all freedom fighters forming the rich tapestry of our revolutionary lineage – Filiberto took up the struggle alongside hundreds of cadre and supporters in the armed clandestine organization, Los Macheteros. We continue to commemorate these important dates as we honor our martyrs who paid the ultimate price for the liberation of Puerto Rico. May we follow their example and continue forward with courage and revolutionary optimism. We will be victorious.
Brigade Fundraiser Launch: Support Our Return to Puerto Rico
This September, we will return to Puerto Rico for our fourth political brigade, a continuation of the work we began in Fall 2023, our first delegation to engage in study, solidarity, and service on the archipelago.
Bringing together Puerto Rican and allied organizers from across the diaspora, this brigade is a critical space for us to:
- Deepen relationships with grassroots organizations, labor unions, and student movements
- Participate in agricultural and community defense work
- Reconnect with our land, language, and culture
- Confront the real-time impacts of Act 60, LUMA, and other forms of settler-colonial exploitation.
As the collective prepares to send a larger delegation this year, we are calling on our networks to help us fundraise for housing, transportation, and shared meals. Every dollar counts.
Donate to support the Brigade.
Resist NATO!
On June 24th & 25th, the 2025 NATO Summit will take place in the Hague, Netherlands, where progressive and anti-imperialist forces will take to the streets in opposition to the U.S./NATO agenda. With our partner organizations leading the campaign to Make Our Americas a Zone of Peace!, the Diaspora Pa’lante Collective calls on all people of conscience across our region to learn about the role of NATO in advancing U.S. imperialism, and to oppose NATO through popular education, mass mobilization, and collective resistance!
No to NATO!
🌍 African Liberation Day
On May 25th, DPC members joined commemorations in New York City, Baltimore, and Atlanta to honor African Liberation Day (ALD), first initiated by Kwame Nkrumah in 1958.
On May 31st, DPC Florida members attended the Orlando ALD, where we created space to honor our ancestors through Bomba dance. These events were hosted by the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (A-APRP) and brought together comrades to reaffirm that African liberation is inseparable from the liberation of our peoples across the Caribbean and the diaspora. Nkrumah’s vision of Pan-Africanism and the unity of the continent through scientific socialism called not only for independence, but for a united struggle against white supremacy and the capitalist system that exploits and divides us.
We remain rooted in that vision—uplifting the fight for a liberated Africa as essential to our struggle for the freedom of Puerto Rico, Haiti, and our entire region. U.S. and NATO Out of Africa! Shut Down AFRICOM!
🏨 Protest at Mandarin Hotel: Stop the Esencia Mega-Project
On April 21, members of DPC’s NYC/NJ Chapter alongside comrades from JUPI, Adolfina, Friends of Puerto Rico Impact, and Victory in Puerto Rico staged a sit-in and banner drop at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Columbus Circle Mall in NYC to protest Esencia, a 20,000-acre luxury development planned for Punta Melones, Cabo Rojo.
Esencia would bring 900 elite residences, five hotels, a private airport, and two golf courses to land classified as protected ecological and archaeological terrain. Backed by foreign developers and the colonial government, the project threatens to displace Boricuas, privatize beaches, and destroy one of Puerto Rico’s most vulnerable ecosystems.
This action uplifted the growing resistance to Esencia and demanded an end to the imperialist plunder of Puerto Rican land and life.
Learn more about what’s at stake.
🎲 Game Night & Memory:
Central Florida Holds It Down
On May 14th, in collaboration with the Revolutionary Education and Action League (REAL), our Central Florida cadre hosted a vibrant Puerto Rican Noche de Juegos, bringing the community together for a night of play, culture, and political memory.
From Bori Jeopardy to dominos, Monopoly, and beyond, we came through with the vibes, la comunidad, and the joy of being in shared space.
In between games, we made space to reflect on the histories we carry, including La Ley de la Mordaza (The Gag Law of 1948), which criminalized displaying the Puerto Rican flag and expressing pro-independence beliefs. We also discussed Operation Bootstrap, the post-WWII economic program that displaced thousands through forced sterilization, mass migration, and industrial exploitation.
State Violence, Migration, Global Displacement
On June 7th, DPC’s NYC/NJ chapter co-led a panel with the Black Alliance for Peace and Nodutdol, naming the true root of mass migration: U.S. imperialism. While politicians and media push anti-migrant hysteria to distract and divide us, we know displacement is driven by the same violent forces that fund war, back dictators, exploit labor, and occupy our communities with militarized police. There is no immigration crisis — there is a crisis of empire! DPC will continue to pursue all means of organization and action against ICE and the escalating war against immigrants in the United States.
Esencia Call Campaign
On April 24th, in collaboration with Juventud Unida por la Independencia (JUPI), DPC launched a call to action for the public to put pressure on Alvarez-Diaz & Villalon, the main architects for the Esencia project. The architecture and design company is contracted to build the Esencia project in Puerto Rico that will create a city for rich settlers, displace Puerto Ricans, and damage the ecosystem. We made calls to both the Florida and San Juan offices of Alvarez-Diaz & Villalon, Cabo Rojo’s PNP Rep. Emilio Carlo Acosta, and left messages for the Natural Resources Commission President Elinette Gonzalez Aguayo to demand NO A ESENCIA.
🇵🇷 Parallel Paths to Liberation:
Puerto Rico & Palestine 🇵🇸
Staten Island | April
On Sunday, April 27, DPC’s NYC/NJ Chapter co-led a powerful teach-in with Staten Island 4 Palestine, bringing together organizers and community members in Staten Island to explore the shared histories of colonialism, resistance, and liberation in Puerto Rico and Palestine.
Through collective discussion and political education, attendees traced parallel forms of land theft, displacement, and militarized occupation, and connected them to grassroots resistance efforts across both territories. The event also raised over $300 for Waterfall of Goodness, a women-led grassroots organization providing direct relief in Gaza.
Atlanta | May
DPC members in Atlanta hosted a Parallel Paths to Liberation event in collaboration with Atlanta for Palestine, leading participants through interactive group work and a shared historical timeline on colonialism, imperialism, and resistance. Together, they traced the roots of U.S. and Israeli settler violence and uplifted a long arc of joint struggle across Borikén, Palestine, and the U.S. South.
Community Response to ICE policing in the DMV
Following increased ICE policing of migrant communities in the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area, our DPC DMV chapter has been working with local migrant organizations like Colectivo Familias Migrantes (CFM), Montgomery County Immigrant Rights Collective (MoCo IRC), La ColectiVA, and others to coordinate community responses.
Before Gentrification Popular Education Series
Our DPC DMV chapter has also been co-hosting a popular education series with the Claudia Jones School for Political Education, author Tanya Golash-Boza, and Save Chinatown DC to discuss gentrification in Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. For this series, we are reading Golash-Boza’s book Before Gentrification: The Creation of D.C.’s Racial Wealth Gap.
For Lourdia Jean Pierre, Against Apartheid in the Dominican Republic
On June 13, DPC members in New York and San Juan joined Compas de la Diáspora, Comuna Caribe, and the Black Alliance for Peace in the delivery of a statement to the Dominican Consulate denouncing the death of Lourdia Jean Pierre and the state of apartheid affecting Haitian migrants, Dominicans of Haitian descent, and Black Dominicans in the Dominican Republic. We will continue to stand with Haitians across the Americas, demanding respect for Haiti’s self-determination and supporting the struggle against white supremacy, foreign occupation, and subversion. U.S. and the Core Group out of Haiti! Expose and defeat apartheid in the Dominican Republic!

Boricua History, Culture, and Analysis
Below, we explore the relationship between movement-building and armed resistance in the United States, and the responsibility of public organizations to cultivate the fertile ground necessary for the growth of armed struggle designed for impact and longevity. As turbulence and transition increasingly characterize our historical moment, we respond affirmatively to the question of armed resistance, reiterating the strategic necessity of building and defending a militant anti-imperialist movement to defeat U.S. colonialism, by any means necessary.
In Defense of Armed Struggle
On January 24, 1975, a bombing by the Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional Puertorriqueña (FALN) claimed the lives of four patrons of Fraunces Tavern, “a restaurant for the ruling class” in New York’s financial district. The action was taken “in retaliation for the CIA-ordered bombing in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, on January 11, in which two young independentistas were killed.” The following is a reprinted statement published in the aftermath of the bombing by the Coordinating Committee of the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico in the United States.
In regards to the recent bombings by the FALN, it is important that we speak of it with a great amount of understanding and love for human life. We must put these events in a historical outlook. We must look at history and come up with an answer that is truthful, honest, and just. For we as a people are full of compassion and dignity.
From the beginning, since 1898, the relationship between the United States and Puerto Rico has been a violent one. They marched on the Island, going from town to town, securing their military power. They made us U.S. citizens in time to fight in World War I. In 1935, they shot at students and nationalists in Río Piedras, killing four. In Ponce, on March 21, 1937, they killed 21 Puerto Ricans and wounded over one hundred more; we call it the “Ponce Massacre.” By this time, Don Pedro Albizu Campos was in prison, where he spent over 25 years of his life for the dignity and freedom of the Puerto Rican people.
On October 30, 1950, the Jayuya Revolution takes place (and also in many other towns around the Island). Dozens of nationalists were killed, and more than a thousand were arrested. The following day, in Washington D.C., Oscar Collazo and Griselio Torresola attacked Blair House with the intent of killing President Truman. Griselio Torresola was killed in the gun battle, and Oscar Collazo is still in prison. And so are Lolita Lebrón, Rafael Cancel Miranda, Irvin Flores, and Andrés Figueroa Cordero, who on March 1, 1954, attacked the U.S. Congress. More recently, other Puerto Ricans have lost their lives at the hands of the repressive police forces in this country. Two well known cases are those of Julio Roldán and Martin (Tito) Pérez. Both, supposedly, “hanged” themselves in jail.
This all goes without mentioning the cases of thousands of Puerto Ricans whose lives are cut short by the lethal effects of the fumes coming from the petrochemical complexes on the South coast of the Island, especially in the area around Playa Guayanilla. It goes without mentioning those who had to abandon their land due to violent economic pressure brought about by the so-called “industrialization” of the Island. It goes without mentioning those thousands of Puerto Ricans who lost their lives, forced to fight in an unjust, imperialist war in Vietnam. It goes without mentioning those whose lives just waste away in prison after being caught in the legal maze of this country.
Today, our situation and our condition of living is below any standard. Many of us are forced to go on welfare (we know this is the truth!), or on drugs (like methadone maintenance) that destroy the body. Our jobs, for those of us who have one, make no sense: we are not doing something we like, but rather something in order to survive. So we are killed away, slowly and sadly. So, what has really changed? Nothing, except that the violence committed against the Puerto Rican people has become more sophisticated.
But Puerto Rico, and the Puerto Rican communities in this country, are not the only ones suffering under the yoke of U.S. imperialism, which is always sustained by force. Our Black brothers and sisters also live under the same conditions of terror and violence, and the same applies to those white people and organizations in this country that struggle against U.S. imperialism. The same violence is also applied in other parts of the world, wherever U.S. imperialism exists: Vietnam, Latin America, Africa. The situation is the same worldwide: U.S. imperialism is the most brutal form of domination and violence that the world has ever known. Our country is a living example of such violence.
Compañeros y compañeras, friends of our struggle, the action that took place on Friday, January 24, 1975, was a military action in retaliation for what occurred in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, on January 11, 1975. Today, a six-year-old boy is in serious condition, and two young sons of the Island are dead as a consequence of that bombing, which was perpetrated by a Cuban exile group (gusanos). And who supports such groups, the same way they support the Chilean junta, the Brazilian dictators, and the Thieu government in South Vietnam? Nobody else but the FBI and the CIA. The true nature of this government is slowly being unveiled, and it is exactly the same nature that many people have denounced for years.
After the military action of January 24, who were the first people the FBI went to see? The day after, the FBI twice visited the family of Carlos Feliciano, and once more the following day. Friends of the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico are still being approached and offered money for information. This government does not remember what Carlos Feliciano said: “Our history is very clear: we have confronted the enemy face to face, in the light of day. Like in Ponce, like in Jayuya, like in La Fortaleza, like in Blair House, like in the Congress of the United States.”
From many sectors of this society, including many on the political Left, have come the cry that it was a terrorist attack. For us, it was a military action. Terrorism is what the United States does to the people of Vietnam, Latin America, Africa, Laos, Cambodia, and to Blacks, Chicanos, American Indians, and our own people in this country. That is true terrorism!
Those on the Left who saw this as a terrorist act do not understand how sick and tired our people are of suffering violence at the hands of the U.S. imperialists, day in and day out. The language used by those on the Left that talk about terrorism is exactly the same as that of the New York Times, Daily News, El Diario, etc. It is enough to hear it from these sources. What the FALN needs from these anti-imperialist groups and individuals is solidarity and support. This is not a time for divisions, but for unity. It is high time that we start extending our struggles, learning from each other, teaching each other, uniting always against our common enemy. It is time to coordinate military action with political action, and vice-versa. It is time to declare all-out war against U.S. imperialism. We see the FALN as a group that has taken seriously what Che Guevara said in his message to the Tricontinental:
“We must carry the war into every corner the enemy happens to carry it: to his home, to his centers of entertainment; a total war. It is necessary to prevent him from having a moment of peace, a quiet moment outside his barracks or even inside; we must attack him wherever he may move. Then his moral fiber shall begin to decline. He will even become more beastly, but we shall notice how the signs of decadence begin to appear… And if we were all capable of uniting to make our blows stronger and infallible, increasing the effectiveness of all kinds of support given to the struggling people — how great and close would that bright future be!”
The FALN has opened new opportunities for action, and a new vision of that bright future. It is time we stop evading the question of armed struggle!
This statement has two purposes. First of all, it is a statement of support for the military actions carried out by the FALN. Secondly, it is a call for unity on the Left, especially the Puerto Rican Left. It is time that we all recognize the fact that no one particular group has a monopoly on the struggle. It is imperative that we start a serious and honest dialogue in order to reach what Lenin called “a correct theoretical judgment of the new forms of struggle engendered by practical life.” It is a lie to say that military actions divide and weaken the movement of national liberation for Puerto Rico. Lenin is very clear on this issue: “It is not partisan acts which disorganize the movement, but the weakness of a party which is incapable of taking such acts under its control.”
We can no longer ignore the fact that new groups, new revolutionaries, are joining the struggle. It is our duty to support them, to help them, to establish dialogue and mutual understanding of each other’s methods, to create unity, and together carry the war to the front door of the enemy, hastening the day of national liberation for our people. To that end we pledge ourselves. To that end we offer our own lives.

By Any Means Necessary
“Inevitably, the question is raised about the appropriateness of armed actions in a period where the majority does not support them. It is articulated with disturbing frequency by those who have no trouble seeing the relevance of leaflets, pickets, marches, and even of sit-ins, takeovers, blockades, blood throwing, and symbolic attacks on missiles — all in a period when the majority does not support them.
The answer is obvious: all are tactics that gain their relevancy based on how they are utilized in varying combinations and permutations to effect the goal of maximizing resistance to U.S. imperialism.”
Alan Berkman, Holmesburg Prison (August 1985)
“I suggest that the real contradiction may be that we really are not about the same thing, the same goals, and some of us are not willing to admit it. Not yet, anyway…”
Safiyah Bukhari, Enemies and Friends: Resolving Contradictions
“The impunity that representatives of our government feel at abetting this slaughter should be revealed as an illusion, then…”
Elias Rodriguez (2025)
May 19th marked the one hundredth birthday of a revolutionary whose body belongs to the heavens, but whose spirit resides firmly in the hearts and minds of the people; a towering figure in the grand lineage of ancestors who’ve given their lives in the struggle for human dignity and freedom; an uncompromising champion of all oppressed and colonized peoples of the world; an organizer who believed in the unshakeable power of the people: El Hajj Malik El-Shabazz; Malcolm X; Our Brother.
Brother Malcolm left us with a vocabulary, sharp and illuminating, to rouse our spirits and put our feet into motion:
“We declare our right on this earth to be respected as human beings…which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.”
…
“Anytime we know that an unjust condition exists…we will strike at it by any means necessary. And strike also at whatever and whoever gets in the way.”
Delivered at the founding rally of the Organization of Afro-American Unity sixty-one years ago, these words retain their resonance as billions across the world remain enslaved by global white supremacy, capitalist dictatorship, and the rapacious beast of U.S. imperialism.
As of this writing, the campaign to exterminate the Palestinians of Gaza, fully, totally, and without mercy, continues. Armed and bankrolled by the U.S.-E.U. imperialist bloc, its foot soldiers are the enthusiastic combatants (more than 20,000 of whom are U.S. citizens) constituting the armed forces of the state of Israel. Key to the success of the operation is a global network of functionaries providing diplomatic support, legal obstruction, and systematic disinformation to justify its genocidal intent, delegitimize regional resistance, and criminalize international solidarity.
The question for all people of conscience remains how to bring about its end. What actions, and in what order, could bring the devastation and terror to a halt? And crucially, how might the collective forces of humanity bring about some measure of justice for the dead and dying?
These are the questions before us because, as Brother Malcolm would readily remind, the struggle of the Palestinian people is our struggle. But so too are these questions posed to the entire human family because their answers are truly the answers to the crisis of unrestrained barbarism which has overtaken every corner of the world.
How can a people bring about the end of their oppression and exploitation?
What steps could be taken, today, to expel occupation forces from Africa, Asia, the Pacific, the Americas?
In the course of struggle for our very lives (for some, perhaps, the stakes are not so high), which tactics available to us are discarded without any need for trial or consideration?
Any answer providing constructive insight toward a decisive victory for the Palestinian people carries immediate relevance for all freedom struggles everywhere. We are therefore compelled to take up these questions with openness, honesty, and a sincere commitment to the paths illuminated by investigation and practice.

The deaths of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, employees of the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C., are greeted with shock and alarm by the media networks and politicians celebrating crimes against humanity in Gaza; so too are many across the United States predictably disturbed when their proximity to the blowback of U.S. criminality grows by orders of magnitude.
Before considering why the action in Washington was undertaken, let us internalize an uncomfortable truth. Targeted political violence carried out within the claimed borders of the United States is shocking precisely because its nature is so effectively obscured: much of the extreme violence required to maintain U.S. hegemony at home and abroad is carried out on the continents of Asia and Africa, on the islands of the Pacific and the Caribbean, and across Central and South America. (Mass imprisonment and police terror in the inner cities, barrios, reservations, and countrysides of the interior United States, notwithstanding.)
Nevertheless, targeted political violence within the United States is not without precedent, though typically the near-exclusive domain of the ruling class and its agents:
- On Memorial Day, 1937, Chicago police opened fire on a parade of striking steelworkers and their families, killing ten and beating dozens more nearly to death.
- Beginning in August 1967, the FBI’s campaign to neutralize the Black Panther Party would ultimately claim the lives of at least thirty Panthers, including the predawn raid and execution of Illinois leaders Fred Hampton and Mark Clark on December 4, 1969.
- During the three-year period between 1973 and 1976, at least sixty-nine members and supporters of the American Indian Movement died violently on Pine Ridge Reservation at the hands of the Guardians of the Oglala Nation, a paramilitary police force funded and sanctioned by the federal government of the United States.
- On May 24, 1990, a shrapnel-wrapped bomb explodes inside of a vehicle in Oakland, California carrying Earth First! organizers Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney as the two are preparing for Redwood Summer, a campaign to bring national attention to the liquidation of the state’s old-growth forests by timber corporations.
While Bari and Cherney survive with permanent injuries, the FBI’s San Francisco field office (on the heels of an operation to entrap and discredit Earth First! organizers in Arizona) claims the pair were not victims of an attack, but were harmed by a bomb of their own making. Richard Held, then-Special Agent-in-Charge in the Bay Area, was a fixture in the bureau’s counterintelligence operations since 1968, aiding the federal government’s obtaining of fraudulent convictions against Leonard Peltier and Black Panther Geronimo Ji-Jaga Pratt, and overseeing the repression of Puerto Rico’s independence movement as Special Agent-in-Charge in San Juan between 1978 and 1985. The attempted murder of Bari and Cherney remains unsolved.
How else to describe these actions but targeted political violence aimed at those who intend to expose, challenge, and defeat the ruling elements of U.S. society? Far from uncommon, violence against the oppressed is normalized beyond recognition. And it is only when the oppressed raise their weapons in the direction of their tormentors that violence is understood to be the incorrect means to attain one’s ends.

Charlotte Kates, International Coordinator of Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, describes Israeli embassies as “the mechanism that markets genocide to the world, the place where the deals are made to sell and buy the weaponry; centers of intelligence gathering,” with embassy staff actively demanding and directing the repression of protest movements.
Bourgeois sentimentality would find us making appeals for their immunity from justice, but let it be determined in good faith why anyone should be exempt from accountability for contributing to the crime of genocide. The Charter of the Nuremberg Tribunal, charged with prosecuting the defeated German forces at the conclusion of the Second World War, provides a sufficient judgement on these grounds:
“Crimes against international law are committed by men, not by abstract entities, and only by punishing individuals who commit such crimes can the provisions of international law be enforced.”
In the absence of state-led enforcement, is it not the responsibility of all conscientious people to intervene decisively against agents of genocide? Evading this question, we neglect our collective ability to transform our conception of justice in service to humanity.
—
The architects of the atrocities in Gaza are shaken by the opposition of the global majority. Long reliant on a crude yet effective propaganda apparatus to discredit popular resistance, the butchers of children are bitter at the shifting of “public opinion,” their legitimacy challenged in new and unfamiliar ways. But the killing fields remain undisturbed, and only by the political acumen and military strength of the regional armed resistance has the total conquest of West Asia by Israel and its backers been averted.
How, then, are we to make sense of the widespread and unconditional condemnation of armed action in the heart of the U.S. capital? (An action coherently articulated as an extension of the Palestinian resistance in the heart of Gaza.) Denunciation not only by those responsible for imposing the genocide, but repeated by the solidarity movement opposing the genocide? Most peculiar are such statements by those who consistently uplift the legitimacy of armed struggle in Palestine.
To those organizations and parties who’ve distanced themselves from the practice of armed resistance in the United States, it is here where our principles sharply diverge. Armed resistance in practice is not simply a moral imperative, but a strategic necessity.
Those who yearn for political struggle free of bloodshed proudly reveal their arrogance and ignorance. The struggle of collective humanity against our common enemy is defined by extreme violence against the former by the latter: “real grinding misery, real burning flesh, real shredded babies.”
Bloodshed cannot simply be wished away, nor can the terms of struggle which concretely exist be collapsed and mistaken for the terms of struggle which one desires. Our mission must be clear: to maximize resistance to U.S. imperialism, here and now, through organization, education, preparation, and practice. We who suffer the daily indignities of colonial occupation and exploitation could never afford to want crops without ploughing the ground; to desire the ocean without the roar of its many waters.
Where are we to find ideological leadership in this moment? To do battle in the information arena against propagandists who intend to heap mud onto the motives of resistance? Where are the thought leaders and advanced elements equipped to make sense of such an action? To prevent the enemy from decoupling our one struggle on many fronts?
On the charge of adventurism, of separating oneself from the masses to pursue self-gratifying action lacking thought or strategy, we find relevant guidance provided by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
“Individual,” scientifically, means individual action aimed at the interests of an individual, or a group of individuals taking action against an individual as a person, with the belief that the liquidation of an individual will defeat what he represents as a class.
In this sense, the term “individual” signifies a lack of strategy, rather than a collective decision as part of the battle. [But] if an individual carries out orders that were organized collectively on strategic principles…this is not “individual” action.
To bring our enemy to its knees will require the organized power of the totality of our people engaged on every front. Nevertheless, without question, individual acts of resistance are capable of contributing positively to the organization and forward movement of oppressed people. To this objective we remain faithfully committed.
—
It is proven time and again that the heat of battle clarifies. Drawn lines are etched in blood and rubble as friends and enemies are compelled to reveal themselves where the fog of peace enables their concealment.
Unequivocally, we desire peace, even by armed struggle; the cessation of war, even by means of war; swift justice for the people of Palestine, from the river to the sea. Here, our principles are embodied without a hint of contradiction, guided by our love for human life and our compassion and dignity as a people.
The collective power of the organized masses, trained and confident in our deployment of armed resistance against our common enemy: this and nothing less will secure the peace we so desperately seek and truly clarify the strength of our ranks.
Let us re-double our commitment to peace, by any means necessary.
