Call for Nakba77: Come to Berlin to stand for Palestine!

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network is republishing the following public statement from collectives in Berlin, organizing to commemorate the 77th year of al-Nakba with mass action for Palestinian liberation and against zionist-imperialist genocide in Gaza and throughout occupied Palestine. In Germany, and especially in Berlin — home to the largest Palestinian and Arab exile and diaspora population in Europe — the repression has been extremely severe, with Palestine protests prohibited from marching and the constant threat and reality of police violence, arrests and imprisonment. Demonstrations commemorating al-Nakba, Palestinian Prisoners’ Day and al-Quds Day have been banned repeatedly. In November 2023, the German government banned Samidoun and Hamas — and even the slogan, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” Multiple organizers and demonstrators have been fired from their jobs, arrested, criminalized and imprisoned; four students are threatened with deportation, and Palestinians, among others, have been deported to Greece.

NAKBA 77: Come to Berlin
an invitation to all collectives, groups and organizations and individuals

Dear comrades,

We reach out to you to invite you to make a powerful mass demonstration in rage for Nakba Day, May 15th 2025 in Berlin!

As many of you know, the collaboration of Germany with the Zionist entity is not limited to military and political support, but also shows itself in the repression of Palestine solidarity. From the banning, restrictions and police brutality on the streets, to legal persecution of any active voice for Palestine, to taking away people’s jobs or right to political activity, to the violence of the current and ongoing deportation policy against Palestinians from Gaza and activists, which as of yesterday is going to be enforced by a new coalition contract that enables deportations based on presumed antisemitism and what they call “Volksverhetzung”.

For several months the situation continues to escalate more and more. All pro Palestine demonstrations are prevented from walking, and turned into static rallies, in order to repress them more effectively. Many times the people tried to break those restrictions and fight for our right to take our streets.

Now it is time to show Germany that being on the wrong side of history comes at a cost.
Banned or not, regardless of restrictions, we want to and will make a huge mass demonstration happen in this city, in the belly of the European zionist beast. For this we need you. We invite you to join us in rage, to bring your tactics, your power, and your ideas, in order to fight this fascist German state and society in its streets like never before!

On this 77th anniversary of the ongoing Nakba, let’s fight against the genocide, for a free Palestine from the sea to the river, for the unwavering Resistance, for the Right of Return and for total liberation! We are planning one single, powerful demonstration on May 15th at 4pm in Berlin, and we need you there! We call on all groups from across Germany and Europe to mobilize and converge in Berlin for this mass demonstration to fight colonialism and fascism, to fight occupation and genocide and reclaim our streets. We will also do our best to provide hospitality for all people without accommodation, so you can join our fight.

Please let us know if you are interested and how you would like to contribute.

Let us burn this imperialist system together to ashes, and show them the power of the people!
