Neo-fascism merely adapted, disguised, and reshaped itself according to the times. In some states, we now see historical revisionism – and even glorification of local fascist or Nazi collaborators.

#PeoplesHistory | 🇵🇸77 Years of Nakba: Resistance Amid Ongoing Catastrophe

But the Nakba never ended. Palestinians today endure apartheid, genocide, and displacement—yet their anti-colonial resistance persists, rooted in a century of struggle against imperialism and Zionism.
