Against the horror, Palestinians are still rising Even in the face of lynch mobs and state violence, many Palestinians cannot afford to have Israel's settler-colonial rule go back to 'normal.' by Amjad Iraqi, +972, May 13, 2021 https://www.972mag.com/palestinian-protests-unity-jerusalem/ . . . An extraordinary feature of the demonstrations is that they are primarily being organized not by political parties or figures, but by young Palestinian activists <https://www.972mag.com/sheikh-jarrah-palestinian-youth/>, neighborhood committees, and grassroots collectives. Indeed, some of these activists explicitly reject the involvement of political elites in their protests, viewing their ideas and institutions — from the Palestinian Authority to the Joint List — as domesticated and obsolete. They are asserting themselves on the streets and especially on social media, encouraging other youth who had never been to political protests to join for the first time. In many ways, this generation is defying its traditional leadership as much as it is fighting the Israeli state. . . .
