Within Freedom Archive’s Palestine collections, I found many examples of publications analyzing the long history of Nicaraguan and Palestinian solidarity and the need of revolutionary forces to work together to fight their common enemy–imperialism, Zionism, and reaction. I can only hope that my study of the Palestinian and Nicaraguan struggle clarifies the importance of understanding history in waging the struggle for the birth of a different world. I dream that this zine will help demonstrate the interconnectedness of seemingly disparate struggles, and reveal the necessity of an internationalist front against capitalist-imperialism.
