GAZA HAS CALLED FOR A GLOBAL STRIKE ON APRIL 7TH, MONDAY. We all have a duty. No school. No universities. No work. We cannot sit by while an entire population is being systematically starved and erased. Connect with one another. Protest. Mobilize. Move.

We call for a worldwide strike of all healthcare workers on 30.12.24! The developments in Kamal Adwan Hospital are horrific, and the horrors only increase. We cannot continue with business as usual. Doctors and healthcare workers in Gaza are dying to serve their communities and protect their patients. They are human beings and have the right to live and do their work in safety. These crimes would be unimaginable anywhere else. Can you live without your healthcare providers? Can you live with your local hospitals being bombed and destroyed? Why is this acceptable for Gaza?? Please support the strike by posting the call and spreading the word widely! #kamaladwanhospital

Twice, now, we have commemorated the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People while a horrific genocide is committed against the people of Gaza. On this day, and every day, we must look to those who are oppressed, and take their lead. Whether our siblings in Gaza, Sudan, Congo, Tigray, Yemen, Haiti, or any other colonised, demonised, and dehumanised places and people, we must follow the guidance of our indigenous brothers and sisters who are paying the ultimate price for our comforts and luxuries. On this day, and every day, we must reject imperialism, and all the horrors that come with it. We all suffer one way or another under the rule of white supremacist nazis who have colonised the world, and continue to rob us of our resources and humanity while they line their pockets and keep us firmly under their boots. On this day, and every day, we must remember that we outnumber them. If nothing else, we are many. And if we are united, we might have a passing chance at survival. To attain the liberation we all dream of, we must be committed to the cause, and to one another, and to learn how to achieve these most essential of tasks, we must look to those whose lives revolve around community. So on this day of solidarity we pay tribute to the heroes who make up our resistance, the doctors, teachers, and protectors, and call for the liberation of all colonised people, and the downfall of all colonisers. Free Palestine from the River to the Sea.

Palestinians in Gaza are rightfully in disbelief that this level of violence can continue without anyone putting a stop to it. It is unacceptable to become numb to this horror, it is unacceptable to allow this violence to continue unabated. The warmongers would have us believe that we are weak, incapable, powerless, but it’s simply not true. Our power lies in our unity. The time for real solidarity is now. Join the Global Escalation Nov 27-29. globalescalation.com

Movements globally are uniting for a 3-day escalation Nov 27 - 29 to hit genocidal regimes during one of the most profitable times of year. We have been given two choices - to accept this new level of brutality or resist it. Unless we disrupt the economic flow that enables this genocide, we become active participants. Movements around the world have joined together to step up our collective resistance by going on strike, refusing to shop and by taking direct action. We stand in solidarity with all communities harmed by the same colonial forces worldwide, and reject the celebration of colonial legacies like “Thanksgiving Day” on the 28th. Our efforts will culminate on the 29th, coinciding with the Friday Day of Rage and “Black Friday” season. Most importantly, November 29th marks the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. Show your active solidarity by joining your local actions and blockades, striking disrupting capital and refusing consumerism this November 27-29. Stay tuned via @in.war.ds

Change of location! Today’s protest will take place at Südstern since the police refuse to allow us to gather on Hermannplatz. This repression and racist targeting of people who oppose the genocide Germany is funding reminds me of a time not so long ago. This is the danger that comes with fascists not facing consequences for their actions. Be many, be loud, be strong! ❤️‍🔥

PALESTINE RESISTS - IT STARTED LONG BEFORE THE 7TH OF OCTOBER **الدعوة باللغة العربية في الأسفل** **Deutsch in den Kommentaren** Neither the genocidal ‘Israeli’ project in Palestine nor the heroic resistance of the Palestinian people started on October 7th, but decades ago. The past year has seen an escalation of Zionist genocide and barbarism, pushed by Western and German political, military, and economic support, and official Arab and international complicity. After a year of valiant Palestinian and Arab resistance, ongoing pain and massacres in the besieged Gaza Strip and mass demonstrations and actions in all capitals of the world, we stand together on October 6th against Israel’s extermination campaign in Gaza, crimes in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and their terrorist attacks in the Arab and Muslim world. We emphasize the legitimacy of the Palestinian resistance until the end of Israeli occupation and aggression! Until liberation and until return! Let us flood the streets of Berlin on October 6th! لم تبدأ الإبادة الجماعية التي يمارسها الكيان ”الإسرائيلي“ ضد الفلسطينيين، ولا المقاومة البطولية للشعب الفلسطيني في السابع من أكتوبر، بل هي مستمرّة منذ عقود. بعد عامٍ من التصعيد الصهيوني الهمجي والإبادة الجماعية، بدعم سياسي وعسكري واقتصادي غربي وألماني، وتواطؤ عربي ودولي رسمي، وبعد عامٍ من المقاومة الفلسطينية والعربية الباسلة، وعامٍ من الألم والمجازر في قطاع غزة المحاصر، وعامٍ من المظاهرات والفعاليات الجماهيرية في كل عواصم العالم، نقف في السادس من أكتوبر ضد حملة الإبادة الإسرائيلية في غزة، وجرائمها في الضفة الغربية والقدس، وعملياتها الإرهابية في العالم العربي والإسلامي، مؤكدّين على شرعية المقاومة الفلسطينية حتى زوال الاحتلال والعدوان الإسرائيلي! حتى التحرير وحتى العودة! لنكن طوفاناً في شوارع برلين يوم السادس من أكتوبر!

On September 12, over 50 protesters disrupted a speech by Cultural Senator Joe Chialo at ZK/U for Berlin Art Week. In between chants, they outlined his offenses and presented a list of demands. After half an hour, the newly nicknamed “Genocide Joe Chialo” and “Censorship Senator” let police escort him off the premises, with the demonstrators declaring their intervention a success. The protesters demand from Chialo: • Stop the plan to involve the secret service in cultural funding decisions • No more budget cuts in the cultural sector • Drop any attempts at officially adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism • Reinstate funding for Oyoun through the end of 2025 as contractually agreed • Stop weaponizing accusations of antisemitism Joe Chialo has continually tried to silence pro-Palestinian voices. Last October, he defunded the BIPOC-run cultural center Oyoun for hosting an event by Jewish Voice for Peace to mourn the deaths of Palestinians. In the winter, he tried to force artists to adhere to the widely discredited IHRA definition of antisemitism as a funding requirement. Most recently, his party, the CDU, announced plans to task the secret service with monitoring funding recipients. On a national level, the CDU, along with the SPD and the Grüne, are instating increasingly fascist policies such as border checks, deportations, and increased police and military budgets. The organizers of this action encourage further pressure on all politicians who are actively perpetuating the genocide in Palestine and establishing authoritarianism in Germany.
