I have read Fanon’s “The Wretched of the Earth” and it is a captivating book. You have to be careful with these ideas however. It’s one thing to direct violence against an oppressor, and its entire infrastructure of repression. It’s quite another to direct it against babies, the rape of women, and the kidnapping of the elderly who may belong loosely to the extended tribe of the oppressor. The “how” a struggle is performed is often more important than its “why”. Take the case of Isis and its struggle against the regime of Bashar al-Assad. The latter was hardly a choir boy, and his family had a history of repression as ruthless as the Kim family in North Korea. Were Isis’ actions against the Syrian regime justified? The answer is clearly no - the ends (liberation?) do not justify the means (unbridled horror). The same criticism can be said of Hamas. If the October 6th attacks were solely directed at the IDF, instead of innocent Israeli civilians, a much stronger case could be made in their favor. Even the Japanese Empire, who brought the United States into WWII by bombing a military installation in Pearl Harbor, was able to make this distinction, and they were not first rate humanitarians. Incidentally, the Algerian revolution is not a success story, seventy years on.
