⚠️ Content note: This segment includes references to sexual violence, including rape, shared in the context of exposing colonial brutality. In a searing moment from our recent community conversation, Haidar Eid names the historical moment we are living through as a time of monsters. Drawing from a long lineage of anti-colonial thought, he speaks to how colonial powers—naming Israel directly—are revealing themselves in their most violent and unrestrained form. Haidar speaks with clarity about a paradox many liberation movements have witnessed before: when the old world is dying, it often lashes out with maximum force. The height of violence is not proof of permanence—it is evidence of decay. Settler colonialism, he insists, is showing us its limits. And in that recognition, there is a fierce and grounded hope. Not a naïve hope. A historical hope. The kind that understands endings are loud, brutal, and dangerous—but still endings. In the context of Gaza, of genocide unfolding in real time, his words do not bypass grief. They move through it—offering a wider frame: that monsters do not last forever, and that witnessing the collapse of an unjust order is also witnessing the possibility of liberation. #FreePalestine #EndSettlerColonialism #AntiColonialResistance #TruthTelling #HopeInResistance #SANDFilms
