Without going into too much detail I’ll be participating in a strike action tomorrow related to the college encampments from the past month. While I’m excited to be a part of on the ground action, my anxiety over confrontation is flaring up quite a bit. Especially with there being such a big Zionist presence in my city, I’m worried about not just the police, but reactionaries coming to pick a fight. And while organizers say the likelihood of this is low, it’s something that will always be on the back of my mind. Is there any advice for overcoming these fears and making the most out of tomorrow?

    Basic protest tactics will help. Don’t try splitting up or scattering when confronted. This is how they pick you off. Safety in numbers.

    And the other is for the future: become dangerous. By that, I mean work out. Become fast to escape and chase down a fucker if necessary. Become strong to be able to fight if necessary. Become big to intimidate. Pack heat or other kinds of weapons for last resort defense. Become competent in your tools. When you know you’re capable of killing a man, you become more confident in yourself.

    Also remember this: zionists are cowards. They’re unable to sustain themselves since the very beginning. They always needed support from superpowers to oppress people. Tiny nations like Cuba and North Korea have been able to resist with and WITHOUT the help of larger nations. They’re paper tigers, but even paper can make you bleed. But just remember that the only things they do best is have a serial killer mentality. They’ll always be arrogant because they think their arrogance is earned and not a result of external ideology propping them up. They would never dare say any of the things they say unless they were with a crowd.
