“The enemy sits in mahogany rooms and makes up rules.  By their rules they declare their legality to colonize people who don’t want to be colonized, rules to conduct warfare by, rules to legally starve people to death, rules to carry out whatever they want to carry out.  They say, with enormous pride, these rules come from the mother of Parliaments so obviously they must be right and anyone who goes against these rules must be wrong.  We are expected, as a subject people, to live by their rules, fight by their rules, and obey their rules.  But we don’t have an army or arms and cannot fight by their rules and as this struggle develops we will have to make up our own rules.  Now, according to their rules, we are depraved … killers, fanatics, anarchists, gunmen, or whatever scum they so designate, and therefore fit to be destroyed by their self-declared legality.”“Not only do they own the rule book, they own the press and the journalists to expose us to the world and denounce us as lunatics and we have no voice to argue back. “

Leon Uris in his novel ‘Trinity’  telling the story of the struggle of the Irish people against the British domination of their land.

 “We proclaim to the people of Libya that, owing to the acts committed by the white Abadila tribe, namely secretly helping five fighting men to reach the rebel areas after having furnished them with arms and supplies, and in order to punish this tribe of 80 tents, all its old people, adults and children are to be removed to the Uqayla [concentration] camp, and their property to be confiscated, so that the tribe can serve as an example to anyone who might contemplate a similar act, as his punishment will be more severe.” — Decree of the Special Italian Tribunal

“I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”

Nelson Mandela, South Africa Liberator
