The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine stands with the people of Ferguson, and throughout the streets of the cities of the United States, who have taken to the streets once more after the prosecution and the U.S. legal injustice system as a whole failed to indict Darren Wilson, the police officer who killed Michael Brown in cold blood, meaning that he will not face trial or prosecution for this state-sanctioned murder of a young Black man by the police.
This comes as no surprise; the United States’ legal system is historically and at present a perpetrator of massive violence and imprisonment against Black people, just as U.S. imperialism is such a perpetrator against people and nations around the world.
As Palestinians, we are familiar with the injustice of colonial, racist courtrooms, mechanisms of a racist state, that sentence our people to prison en masse while wrapping the perpetrators of crimes, murders and genocide against our people in a cloak of “legality.”
And this system which we recognize all too well from the occupation regime in Palestine has learned well from this same system and structure which has existed for centuries in the United States, the key ally and strategic partner of the occupier.
