Yet Islamism is the opposite of decolonisation, because the aim is to impose Islam as a state religion, which always goes hand in hand with violence, coercion, expulsion and oppression. Islamism does not bring liberation to anyone and itself contains a colonialist claim to power.
This is fucking nonsensical; decolonized/precolonized/non-colonized societies aren’t always free from oppression or violence, and the attitude that decolonization efforts are only valid if they’re angelically free from sin is both patronizing and stinks of rationalizing colonization as justified because the natives would be too savage without it.
Regardless, the fundamental issue with her stance is that even if there was perfect repudiation of Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran by everyone sympathetic to Palestinians, that would do exactly nothing to change Israel’s position and policies on Palestinians. There is no magical “respectable” stance that will make Israel respect the humanity of Palestinians.
