Summary
The Organization of Solidarity for the People of Asia, Africa and Latin America (OSPAAAL), whose declaration of solidarity for Palestinians in their struggle against Zionist aggression appears on the cover of the 2012 Settler Colonial Studies special issue, cited by its editors as evidence that the convergence of the Palestinian struggle with broader anti-colonial movements “is not new” (Past is Present: Settler Colonialism in Palestine, PDF p.5).
Details
- The editors introduce the cover as attestation: “As attested by the cover of this issue, a declaration of solidarity for Palestinians in their struggle against Zionist aggression by the Organization of Solidarity for the People of Asia, Africa and Latin America (OSPAAAL), this convergence is not new.” (PDF p.5)
- The declaration is the editors’ historical anchor for their proposed “new in-gathering of movements” aligning Palestine with the Arab struggle for self-determination and indigenous struggles elsewhere, reconnecting the struggle “to its own history of anti-colonial internationalism” (PDF p.5). The cover itself is not reproduced in the introduction file.
