1-2 April: Call to Action to Free Anan Yaeesh, Palestinian political prisoner in Italy

31 March 2025

On 2 April 2025, in an Italian court in L’Aquila, the political trial of Palestinians Anan Yaeesh, Ali Arar and Mansour Doghmosh will begin. The three Palestinians are accused of “subversive association for terrorist purposes” in a case that began when the Zionist entity, “Israel,” demanded the extradition of Anan Yaeesh, a liberated Palestinian prisoner, from Italy. While Ali and Mansour have been provisionally released pending trial, Anan has been imprisoned in Italy for one year, since January 2024.

Anan Yaeesh is a 37-year-old Palestinian activist from Tulkarem in the West Bank of occupied Palestine. Active in the liberation movement during the Second, Al-Aqsa, Intifada, he was imprisoned for 4 years in Zionist prisons and seriously injured after an ambush by colonial special forces in 2006. In 2013, he left Palestine for Norway before settling in Italy in 2017 and obtaining a residence permit there in 2019. In 2023, he visited Jordan, where he was detained by Jordanian authorities, who maintain normalization and security cooperation with the Zionist regime, for several months; he was able to return to Italy in November 2023.

At the end of January 2024, he was arrested by the Italian police in the city of L’Aquila where he resides at the request of the “Israeli” regime, then transferred to detention in the high-security prison of Terni for alleged collaboration with the Tulkarem Brigades, an organization linked to the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades (one of the armed groups of Fatah, that continue to uphold Palestinian liberation rather than “security coordination” with the occupier.)

While the L’Aquila court rejected his extradition on 12 March 2024, noting that he would be subjected to torture, Italian prosecutors arrested two more Palestinians one day before, on 11 March 2024 — Ali Irar and Mansour Doghmosh — accusing all of them of supporting the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades in Tulkarem. In September 2024, the court ordered Ali and Mansour’s provisional release, while the charges remained in place, but Anan has been continually imprisoned in a high-security facility.

On 2 April 2025, his trial in Italy will begin, and we encourage all organizations, supporters, activists and people in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their resistance to support Anan Yaeesh through actions, banner drops, posters, videos of support, etc. We have a sample poster in solidarity with Anan Yaeesh that you can download and use:

On Wednesday, 26 February, Anan Yaeesh addressed the court, emphasizing the legitimacy of Palestinian resistance under international law and the necessity of confronting genocide. (Read his full statement here.) He noted:

“You want me to defend myself against the accusations against me, but I am ashamed to seek acquittal on charges that, for me, represent a source of honor. I do not want to defend myself against the accusation of having rights and having claimed them, or of having tried to liberate my people and my country from colonial oppression. I swear that I have no intention of being acquitted of the legitimate resistance against the Zionist occupation. The Palestinian resistance is one of the noblest phenomena known to history. On the contrary, I am ashamed to find myself in a warm room, even in prison, while children in Gaza die of cold, hunger, and thirst. I am ashamed of the humane treatment received from the prison authorities here, while my fellow prisoners in Israeli jails suffer the worst torture, oppression, and abuse.”

On the same day, Georges Abdallah, Lebanese communist and Palestinian resistance fighter imprisoned in France since 1984 although he has been eligible for release since 1999, will celebrate his 74th birthday. We urge all to join with the call of the Unified Campaign to Free Georges Abdallah for actions on 2 April.

Let’s make 1 and 2 April days for broad mobilization, calling for the release of Georges Abdallah, Anan Yaeesh, Ali Irar and Mansour Doghmosh; Ghassan Elashi and Shukri Abu Baker of the Holy Land 5; Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, Badar Khan Suri, Yunseo Chong and all those targeted for ICE detention; the Filton 18, and all our comrades incarcerated in imperialist, normalizing and reactionary prisons, for their participation in or support for the resistance of the Palestinian people!

On Al-Quds Day 2025: No migration except to al-Quds! Resisting displacement, struggling for liberation

28 March 2025

Al-Quds Day 2025 comes amid a particularly challenging moment for Palestine and for the Palestinian people, and for all forces of resistance in the region and globally. It also comes amid a moment of exceptional resistance, heroism and steadfastness, in which the people and resistance of Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, together with the globalized collective intifada, are holding the line, defending the land and advancing the revolutionary struggle against Zionism, imperialism and their reactionary agents and allies. On Al-Quds Day 2025, amid the threats and the bombs of US imperialism and the Zionist entity, we reaffirm the slogan that appeared clearly on the banners of the resistance during the Toufan al-Ahrar prisoner exchange: No migration except to al-Quds!

Marking the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, Al-Quds Day was first commemorated in 1979, when, following the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Imam Khomeini announced Al-Quds Day as a day of global mobilization for Palestine, and “the day when the oppressed of the world protest against the arrogant.” The initial speech announcing the day begins by denouncing the Zionist regime’s “savage attacks against the Palestinian brothers and sisters, and which, in the south of Lebanon in particular, is continually bombing Palestinian homes in the hope of crushing the Palestinian struggle.” that seems as if it could have been written today, as the Zionist regime, with full support and involvement of the United States and its fellow imperialist powers, carries out its genocide in Gaza, bombards the south of Lebanon, attacks Yemen and invades Syria.

This quote illustrates the ongoing, continuous nature of the Zionist-imperialist assault on the Palestinian people, the Arab nation and all of the peoples of the region. Today, 46 years later, the Zionist entity is still continually bombing Palestinian homes and attacking the south of Lebanon, with the arms and funding of the United States and its imperialist cohorts, as it has been for over 77 years.

Al-Quds Day has now been cemented as a global day of action, in which millions of people take to the streets, in over 900 cities in Iran, the birthplace of Al-Quds Day, but also in Kashmir, in Pakistan, in Nigeria, in South Africa; one million people march in Yemen; and cities in every continent in the world, including in the heart of the imperial core. Al-Quds Day stands for the oppressed against the oppressor, the path of resistance and the road to liberation, everywhere it is marked.

This year, on Al-Quds Day, Al-Quds itself is under attack. The Zionist regime is continuing its mass theft of land, dispossession of Palestinian Jerusalemites, attacks on Muslim and Christian holy sites, arrests, torture and imprisonment of over 10,000 Palestinians, including many from Jerusalem, targeted for lengthy sentences and vicious repression, alongside its assault on the refugee camps, cities and villages of the West Bank, especially in Jenin and Tulkarem, and its genocidal aggression on Gaza. The urgency of the assault upon the Palestinian people – accompanied by the internal chaos inside the Zionist regime – makes it critical to stand for Palestine on this day; on Land Day on 30 March; and on every day, until the genocide is ended and Palestine is liberated.

The mass turnout for Al-Quds Day reveals the lies of the imperialists, Zionists and those reactionary media agencies that attempt to smear and distort the image of the camp of resistance. It exposes all imperialist propaganda and makes clear that the deep bond between Iran and Palestine is not only one at the level of official coordination, but one with a deep popular base that continues to resist and to chart its independent course of development and its Islamic Revolution in the face of all of the war threats of US imperialism. The millions of people in the streets in Yemen make clear that despite the terror bombings of the US imperialist military, the commitment to resistance and its popular cradle, amid its revolutionary leadership, is unshakeable – the true measure of the oppressed, organized, in revolutionary struggle, confronting the Zionist-imperialist genocide and its depraved war machine. Yemen, its people, armed forces and AnsarAllah movement, have stepped forward to implement the Genocide Convention and shut down the supply lines of genocide after over 10 years of brutal siege.

This echoes the mass participation in the funerals of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safieddine in Beirut on 23 February, when a sea of over 1.5 million people took to the streets of Beirut to mourn the great martyrs, assassinated by the US-Zionist genocidal regime, but also to express their commitment and steadfast pledge to the resistance and to Palestine, exposing all those who attempt to undermine the strength and resilience of Hezbollah, the Lebanese Resistance and its popular cradle.

Within the imperial core – and at the hands of reactionary governments – there have been numerous attempts to suppress the organizing and the message of Al-Quds Day. Just today, security forces in Abuja, Nigeria, opened fire on Al-Quds Day marchers protesting for Palestine. In Germany, Al-Quds Day was banned by state security officials in 2021 – shortly followed soon thereafter by the bans on Palestinian Prisoners’ Day and the commemoration of Al-Nakba, police beatings of anti-genocide protesters, the imprisonment and deportation of Palestinians and supporters of Palestine, and, now, the ban on the phrase, “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” as the German state co-sponsors Zionist genocide in Palestine.

In Canada, Zionist organizations have attempted for years to ban the massive annual Al-Quds Day march in Toronto, which nevertheless remains one of the largest demonstrations for Palestine every year in the city. Much like the ongoing state repression throughout the imperial core, from the ICE attacks on student protesters and writers in the United States, to the designation of Samidoun as a “terrorist” or “banned” organization in Canada, the US and Germany, to the attacks on journalists’ homes, the use of the “Terrorism” act and the imprisonment of dozens of political prisoners for Palestine in Britain, to the long-running imprisonment of Georges Abdallah in France and the Holy Land 5 in the United States, to the police beatings, doxxings, firings, arrests and lawfare throughout the imperial core – the bans and attacks on Al-Quds Day illustrate the fear of its meaning and significance, as a day of Islamic and global unity for the liberation of al-Quds, for the liberation of Palestine, and for the liberation of all of the oppressed.

Al-Quds Day this year, as last year, comes as part of the Al-Aqsa Flood, a revolutionary initiative that has placed Palestine at the center of the world once again. At the same time, of course, it has exposed the vicious brutality of the Zionist project and the US-led imperialist powers that fund, arm and sustain it. The collaboration of reactionary Arab regimes and the Palestinian Authority have been laid bare in easing the road for the genocidaires rather than defending the Palestinian people against an inhumane genocidal assault.

The heroic October 7 operation changed the world; it made clear before all that it is indeed possible to envision a Palestine liberated from Zionism and an entire Arab and Iranian region liberated from imperialism, at the hands of the forces of resistance. And these forces of domination, death and destruction have unleashed their genocidal war machine in an attempt to erase that reality and that promise from the face of the earth, along with the entire Palestinian people, in Gaza and throughout occupied Palestine. As US president Donald Trump stands with Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben-Gvir – and the entire Zionist project – in demanding the expulsion and destruction of the Palestinian people in Gaza, Al-Quds Day is a moment to send a clear message: Palestinians will never give up their land, nor will they cede al-Quds to the Zionist colonizers, and to reaffirm the commitment to confront displacement expressed by the Resistance at the prisoner exchange: There is no future for Zionism; Palestinians will not only refuse to leave Gaza, but they will return to their homes and lands from which they were displaced in al-Nakba, throughout occupied Palestine, and will liberate al-Quds, together with the regional and international camp of resistance.

On this Al-Quds Day, our international movement for liberation for Palestine and for the people of the world must take this opportunity to resist state terror, confront genocide and imperialism, and affirm our unbreakable solidarity with the Resistance on the front lines confronting the fascist onslaught, labeled “terrorist” for upholding and defending the people of Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Iran, and, indeed, humanity itself. Al-Quds Day is a day of anti-imperialist, anti-colonialist, anti-Zionist and anti-capitalist struggle, when the oppressed people of the world stand together, in unity, against their enemies.

This is not a moment to retreat, but one to develop and deepen the global camp of resistance and its international popular cradle, for protest and direct action to materially and meaningfully hinder and shut down the Zionist-imperialist war machine. This is the moment to rally around all those targeted for repression, firing, deportation and imprisonment, to demand an end to the “terrorist” listing of resistance organizations on the front lines of the defense of humanity, and to escalate our actions for Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon, and all those targeted for warmongering, bombing and assassination for their defense of Palestine, commitment to liberation and rejection of imperialism.

On Al-Quds Day 2025, there will be no migration of Palestinians except to al-Quds, the eternal capital of Palestine.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

Free the Filton 18: Imprisoned in Britain for taking action to stop genocide

26 March 2025

Solidarity with the 18 pro-Palestinian activists arrested by so-called “anti-terrorist” police and imprisoned in Britain! Their only crime: trying to stop the manufacture of weapons used in the genocide in Palestine.

In August 2024, six Palestine Action activists drove a former prison van into Elbit Systems’ research, development, and manufacturing facility in Filton, Bristol. Inside, they destroyed Zionist weapons, including quadcopter drones of the same model used by the colonial army in Gaza. These same drones mimic the screams of women and children to lure Palestinians to their deaths. This anti-genocide sabotage reportedly cost Elbit Systems (the largest Zionist weapons company) over £1 million in damages.

Following the arrest of the six activists at the research center, four other people were arrested by British counterterrorism police in different parts of the country. All were remanded in custody. All ten people were detained without charge for approximately a week and repeatedly questioned under anti-terrorism legislation. As evidence of the abuse of power they suffered, all were eventually charged with non-terrorism offenses.

In November, further raids took place, anti-terrorism laws were again invoked, and eight more activists were remanded in custody for the same action in Filton, bringing the total number of activists jailed and prosecuted for the action to 18.

According to “The Bristol Cable” : In January, nine of the 18 Filton defendants appeared before a High Court judge for a plea hearing at the Old Bailey in London. They appeared via video link from various prisons across the UK, including Bronzefield and Eastwood Park women’s prisons.

The defendants have pleaded not guilty to all charges. They are accused of causing £1 million in damage to the building and are charged with aggravated burglary, criminal damage, and public disorder. One of the group, Samuel Corner, 22, is charged with assault and battery.

At the hearing, the judge indicated that the case would be divided into three trials, the first to be held in November 2025 and the second in May 2026. A date for the third trial has not yet been set. Ahead of the trials, lawyers for the accused will attempt, at a hearing in March, to challenge and reject a request by Crown prosecutors to establish a link to terrorism.”

This hearing will take place on March 27 and the “Free the Filton 18” campaign is calling for a day of action in support of the 18 imprisoned activists to demand their immediate release, by signing the petition , demonstrating in front of British embassies and government offices, through informational or symbolic actions such as posters, banner drops, graffiti, support events, letter writing workshops to prisoners, and other actions.

This repression is an illustration of the direct involvement of the imperialist powers, including Britain, in the genocide of the Palestinian people perpetrated since October 7, 2023 by the Zionist regime in Gaza, and more broadly in the Zionist colonial project that has been underway for more than a hundred years in Palestine. We must actively mobilize in support of our incarcerated comrades! We must actively support those who have taken risks to stop a genocide, to fight settler colonialism in historic Palestine, and in support of the Palestinian Resistance, which courageously resists, weapons in hand, against the imperialist and Zionist war machine. Through our collective action, we can win their liberation from imperialist prisons, by mobilizing wherever we can, in our workplaces, our places of study, our neighborhoods, in events and demonstrations of solidarity with the Palestinian people. Wherever we can, we must demand the release of all our comrades, in the imperialist centers and in occupied Palestine: from the Filton 18 to Georges Abdallah, from Anan Yaeesh to Mahmoud Khalil, from the Holy Land Five to Ahmad Sa’adat, from Karmel Khawaja to Shatela Abu Ayad.

Île-de-France: Weekend of mobilization in solidarity with the Palestinian Resistance

26 March 2025

Saturday, March 22: Demonstration against fascism and the extreme right

On Saturday, March 22, at the call of several organizations, Samidoun Paris Banlieue was present at the demonstration against fascism and the extreme right in Paris.

Participants highlighted the importance of solidarity with Palestinian prisoners and with activists incarcerated in imperialist prisons for their support of the Palestinian resistance.

Several placards and banners called for the release of Anan Yaeesh, a Palestinian activist imprisoned in Italy since January 2024 and whose trial will begin on April 2, and of Mahmoud Khalil, a student activist at Columbia University in the United States imprisoned and threatened with deportation by the Trump administration.

Solidarity with all our prisoners, freedom for Georges Abdallah, Anan Yaeesh, Mahmoud Khalil, the Holy Land 5, the Filton 18, and all the activists incarcerated in imperialist and reactionary prisons for their support of the Palestinian resistance!

Sunday, March 23: Iftar for Palestine – Urgence Palestine 94 and Collectif Ivryen pour la Palestine

On Sunday, March 23, Samidoun Paris Banlieue attended the Iftar for Palestine in Ivry, organized by Urgence Palestine 94 and the Collectif Ivryen pour la Palestine.

The event included speeches by Salah Hamouri, Mehdi Meftah, Ahmad Ibrahim, and an intervention live from the West Bank of a member of the emergency committee for displaced people from the Nour Shams refugee camp in Tulkarem.

Anan Yaeesh: “We Palestinians are a free people and we will never accept subjugation to anyone”

26 March 2025

Anan Yaeesh is a 37-year-old Palestinian activist from Tulkarem in the West Bank of occupied Palestine. Active in the liberation movement during the Second, Al-Aqsa, Intifada, he was imprisoned for 4 years in Zionist prisons and seriously injured after an ambush by colonial special forces in 2006. In 2013, he left Palestine for Norway before settling in Italy in 2017 and obtaining a residence permit there in 2019. At the end of January 2024, he was arrested by the Italian police in the city of L’Aquila, where he resides, then transferred to detention in the high-security prison of Terni for alleged collaboration with the Tulkarem Brigades, an organization linked to the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades (one of the armed groups of Fatah, that continue to uphold Palestinian liberation rather than “security coordination” with the occupier.)

On 2 April 2025, his trial in Italy will begin, and we encourage all organizations, supporters, activists and people in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their resistance to support Anan Yaeesh through actions, banner drops, posters, videos of support, etc. On the same day, Georges Abdallah, Lebanese communist and Palestinian resistance fighter imprisoned in France since 1984 although he has been eligible for release since 1999, will celebrate his 74th birthday. Let’s make this date a broad mobilization, calling for the release of Georges Abdallah, Anan Yaeesh, the Holy Land 5, Mahmoud Khalil, the Filton 18 and all our comrades incarcerated in imperialist, normalizing and reactionary prisons, for their participation in or support for the resistance of the Palestinian people!

Below we share with you Anan Yaeesh’s statement from Wednesday, 26 February, during the preliminary hearing for his trial.

Statement by Anan Yaeesh on Wednesday, February 26, during the preliminary hearing for his trial at the Court of L’Aquila:

I wish to begin by greeting the Court and all present.

There is always the letter of the law, but also the spirit of the law; therefore, I would like to ask the honorable judge to grant me the minimum human right of respect toward my country, by observing a minute of silence for the souls of the children, women and martyrs of Palestine.

First of all, I wish to affirm my confidence in the Italian judicial system and recognize its legitimacy. However, I object to being tried in Italy because I am Palestinian and have not committed any crime in Italy or in any other country. My case, as a Palestinian, is known to the Italian security authorities, and I was granted a residence permit in Italy and special protection after my asylum application was rejected by the Foggia court. Therefore, esteemed judge, I consider my arrest and trial here to be illegitimate, because the arrest itself, from the very beginning, was carried out in contradiction with international humanitarian law, the United Nations Charter, the Geneva Convention and the two Additional Protocols, and everything that flows from it is also illegal; anything based on illegitimacy is indeed illegitimate. If you recognize the legitimacy of the State of Palestine, then the extradition request made against me in January of last year should have been submitted by my country’s government. If, on the other hand, you consider Palestine to be a territory illegally occupied by a colonial power, then resistance is a legitimate right, and you should not arrest me here for that reason.

Unfortunately, Your Honor, I have read your observations on the case and, with regret, I have concluded that you consider Palestinians terrorists not only because of the legitimate resistance they are waging against an occupying state, but because you recognize Israel as a friendly state. If the occupying country in question had been another, for example Russia, you would have recognized the legitimacy of the Palestinian resistance. You are not judging me according to international law, but according to your diplomatic relations, simply because Israel is considered an ally of the Italian government, a trading partner, and you consider all its actions legitimate. It would then be better to change the name of the international and humanitarian courts to “Courts of Friends.”

You want me to defend myself against the accusations against me, but I am ashamed to seek acquittal on charges that, for me, represent a source of honor. I do not want to defend myself against the accusation of having rights and having claimed them, or of having tried to liberate my people and my country from colonial oppression. I swear that I have no intention of being acquitted of the legitimate resistance against the Zionist occupation. The Palestinian resistance is one of the noblest phenomena known to history. On the contrary, I am ashamed to find myself in a warm room, even in prison, while children in Gaza die of cold, hunger, and thirst. I am ashamed of the humane treatment received from the prison authorities here, while my fellow prisoners in Israeli jails suffer the worst torture, oppression, and abuse.

Your Honor, all my documents issued in Italy do not mention the name “Palestine,” but “Occupied Territories.” Therefore, you know that this land is occupied and, consequently, under the conventions signed by your country, you must consider resistance against the occupying entity legitimate. Why, then, do I find myself detained today?

As a Palestinian supporter, I am forced to note that in political terms, the world adopts double standards: the one that is stronger and supported by the United States prevails. But does justice, the law, also use the same criteria of judgment, double standards, or will the law prevail in the courtroom?

Would it be fair, if we consider the settlers who occupy the land of Palestine without right or legitimacy as civilians, simply because they do not wear the uniform of the Israeli army, to have the same judgment regarding the Palestinian resistance, which is also composed of civilians and not soldiers, because Palestine has neither a state nor an army to defend itself against aggressors? Both use weapons and kill; the only difference is that the Palestinian resistance defends its land, its people, and its denied rights, and does not kill children, women, or civilians, except by mistake. Over the years, these mistakes have never exceeded one percent, while the settlers systematically attack defenseless civilians. For years, they have been killing women and children, even burning them in their homes, as they did in al-Khalil by killing more than thirty worshippers in the Ibrahimi Mosque, or as they did with the Dawabsheh family, with Iman Hajju, with Mohammad al-Durrah, or as they did in the village of Jatt on 16 August and on many other occasions, with the aim of inciting terror among the Palestinians and forcing them to leave their land; the settlers follow the teachings of the Haganah and the Irgun. Nothing can testify to this better than what was recently stated in a letter by the director of the Israeli Shin Bet, who acknowledged that the settlers are terrorist groups and that the Israeli authorities should arrest and suppress them. However, Benjamin Netanyahu’s response was to provide the settlers with more than 10,000 additional rifles.

But after all, what can we expect from Netanyahu, recognized by the International Criminal Court as a war criminal for the massacres committed against Palestinians? The Hague Court issued an arrest warrant for him if he came to Europe, but despite this, the Italian government declared that he would be welcome in Italy and rejected the Court’s decision, denying its legitimacy. It was the government that decided to arrest me at the Israeli request, calling me a terrorist. In light of this, I can say that I see no law in this country that is not that of the stronger party; everything else is fiction, forcibly imposed on the weaker.

At the first extradition hearing in February 2024, I asked the Court of Appeals and the Attorney General not to hand over the contents of my cell phones to the Israelis, as they contained confidential information that I possessed as a Palestinian resistance fighter, as a partisan commander. I was told that this would not happen, as they were aware that we were at war and that Italy was neutral. However, I was surprised to learn that last April, all the information contained in my phones was handed over to the Israelis. In this way, you have violated all security principles and international law itself, thus becoming de facto accomplices of the Israelis in this war, helping them suppress the legitimate aspirations of an oppressed people. Women throughout the world have not been capable of giving birth to resistance fighters like the Palestinian people.

Your Honor, all the nations and armies of the world have aligned themselves against us, thinking they will liquidate our cause. But our cause will never end as long as a single Palestinian child is alive. We will regain our rights. We ask for pity from no one, we bow to no one, even at the cost of being all killed, arrested, or deported. The Palestinians will not bow their heads or beg for pity, for we have reason on our side. And while no one will restore our rights while we are alive, we believe that after death, we will face a judgment that will be the most just: that of God, who will deny no one’s right and will restore to every oppressed person their rights, whether strong or weak, for all, on the Day of Judgment, will be equal.

Your Honor, in the past, I have been subjected to torture dozens of times. I have also been the victim of assassination attempts by Israel, both in Palestine and abroad. My body bears eleven bullets and more than forty shrapnel wounds; I do not have a single bone that is not broken. I have no past, except for a few memories and photos of friends killed by the occupation, and of a friend executed in cold blood before my eyes. I have a family I have not seen for many years and two parents who died without having fulfilled their dream of seeing us one last time. I have a devastated homeland, a displaced people, even our homes have been demolished by Israeli bulldozers. However, I have never taken a step back or hesitated to demand my country’s right to freedom, and I have never bowed my head to anyone. This is because I firmly believe in this cause. What could it be like to be killed for the freedom of my country and my people? What could it be like to spend years in prison for my cause? Especially considering that there are more than 10,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, and that I am an integral part of them. If there is anything that makes me sad, it is that all my companions had the honor of falling as martyrs, fighting for Palestine, nourishing with their blood this land of peace and love, violated by the Zionist occupation. And I was not at their side.

We do not love death; on the contrary, we are a people who love life more than anything. However, we prefer death with dignity and honor to life in humiliation, with our rights denied. Your Honor, we believe that Palestine deserves it and that our beloved Jerusalem has a high price that every Palestinian is willing to pay with their soul.

When Palestine calls out, wounded, it has only us, its children, ready to defend it with our souls and our blood. He who does not defend his own mother when she needs him will not have the right to be buried tomorrow in his own land, watered with the blood of martyrs. He is an unworthy son, who will be rejected by his own land and will never feel its warmth, either alive or dead.

You all have a homeland in which to live in peace and security, except for us Palestinians. Our homeland lives within us, and we are ready to sacrifice our souls to defend it. It is this homeland that gives us dignity and honor, and this can only be understood by those who are free on this land; we are a people who do not surrender; it is victory or death.

How can you accuse me of terrorism when you recognize the legitimacy of the Fatah movement, which has offices and representations all over the world, including in Italy? Isn’t this a false and hypocritical attitude? Italy has also hosted the leader and founder of our movement in the Italian Parliament on two occasions. On that occasion, he came to Italy dressed in his military uniform and armed, and from Italy, he delivered a speech that was heard around the world. The same was true for the current president, Mahmoud Abbas. If the blind gaze of justice affirms that the Palestinian resistance are terrorists and not partisans, it validates the policy of the strongest, the law of the jungle, where the strongest and most brutal prevail.

Your Honor, the Italian people are not and never will be our enemy; they deserve all the best and our respect; they are a friendly people who have always supported the Palestinian cause. Our enemies are the Israelis who occupy our land, and no one else. The Israeli entity is an occupying and terrorist entity, which does not respect and has never respected, throughout its history, international law. It has a history full of betrayals. Over the years, they have murdered numerous Palestinians all over the world: in Norway, Hungary, Bulgaria, right here in Italy, Malaysia, and many Arab countries. They recognize no law that is not their own, no legitimacy that is not their own, and they consider all those who are not Israelis as their subordinates. Today, they label United Nations organizations, such as UNRWA, as terrorists, and the UN as a den of anti-Semites, and with utter insolence, they also attack the Pope with the same slanderous accusation. Anyone who does not align with them becomes an enemy to be targeted.

We Palestinians are a free people and we will never accept subjugation to anyone. In recent days, before the eyes of the entire world, the Israeli army has displaced more than 40,000 Palestinians from their homes in Tulkarem, burning houses, destroying roads and hospitals, and killing women and children; the same is happening in Jenin. They also continue to occupy now, even as I sit in this room, committing the worst massacres against defenseless civilians, while you call our defense terrorism; why have you become blind and deaf to what is happening? Why don’t you speak out?

Your Honor, the Zionist entity has been killing and destroying in Palestine since 1947, not since October 7. But the world has remained motionless and silent, and the pain is felt only by those who receive the wound.

We are facing a Nazi-fascist, squadron-type violence, just as the Italian people faced Nazi German aggression and violence. However, the difference between us and you is that, after about 20 years, you have managed to free yourselves, while we, after 75 years, still find ourselves resisting. Your Honor, if the Palestinian resistance, legitimized by all international courts, to which Italy has adhered and recognizes its legitimacy, is today considered terrorism, then, by the same principle, the Italian resistance against Mussolini, fascism, and Nazi Germany should also be classified as terrorism.

Your Honor, throughout its history, the Israeli occupation has respected neither Security Council Resolutions nor the decisions of the International Court. Can you tell me where the Oslo and Camp David Accords have gone, and where Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 have gone? Can you count the Palestinians killed during the Israeli aggression from 1947 to the present day? Or the number of refugees expelled? What does your law and your legislation say about this?

Your Honor, the Palestinian mother is like all mothers in this world. Imagine every morning, sending your child to school, preparing food for him, and when you come home, seeing him return wrapped in a white sheet, killed by an Israeli soldier, and having to hold him for the last time. Imagine, in Gaza, a father with his wife and nine children who are without food. The father goes out to look for something to eat; when he returns, he finds his entire family dead under the rubble, killed by a Zionist bombardment.

Can one of you stand up and say that Israel is an occupying, oppressive, and terrorist state? You all know this truth in your hearts, but none of you can say it out loud because you would be accused of anti-Semitism, you would lose your job, or you might find yourself sharing a lunch table with me in prison, facing a terrorism charge. That is why I say again and again that perhaps the Palestinians are the only free people in this enslaved world.

Long live a free and Arab Palestine.

Long live Jerusalem, its eternal capital.

Peace to the souls of the martyrs and children of Palestine.

We will always be the first line of defense until liberation.

Paris: New posters fill the streets in solidarity with Palestinian women prisoners

26 March 2025

Today, new posters and murals were posted on the streets of the 20th arrondissement in Paris, France, in solidarity with the Palestinian women prisoners, Anan Yaeesh, the Palestinian prisoner detained in France; and Georges Abdallah, the Lebanese struggler for Palestine imprisoned in France for the past 30 years.

The posters highlighted many images of imprisoned Palestinian women, as well as the martyrs of the prisoners’ movement. They include:

Karmel Khawaja , arrested on March 2 by occupation forces during a raid in the town of Deir Qaddis, near Ramallah. Karmel is a fourth-year Palestinian student of public administration at Birzeit University.

Like her, at least four other students are currently detained at Damon: Nour Mahmoud Badran, a student at An Najah University; Ruba Dar Nasser , a student at Birzeit University; Tasneem Odeh, a student at Al-Quds University; and Ammar Al Aghbar, a student at An Najah University.

Tasneem Odeh, originally from Kafr Aqab, is a law student at Al-Quds University. On Wednesday, February 12, the Zionist Interior Ministry issued an expulsion order from the city of Jerusalem against her, as well as against Mohammed Abu al-Hawa, currently incarcerated in occupation prisons, and Zeina Barbar, a prisoner released as part of the Toufan al-Ahrar exchange agreement reached by the Palestinian resistance and the proud and determined people of Gaza on January 19, 2025.

Shahd Hassan, 23, a graduate of the Arabic language department at Birzeit University, was arrested on the night of March 5-6 after occupation forces raided her family home in the Ein Misbah neighborhood of Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank of Palestine. While Shahd was sleeping, the Zionist occupation forces raided her home and arrested her. The occupation forces did not allow her to get dressed, so she was forced to put on her prayer clothes. On March 12, Shahd was transferred to administrative detention for four months.

Shahd comes from a family with a long history of struggle. Her father, Sheikh Majed Hassan, former leader of Birzeit University’s Islamic bloc; her mother, preacher Nada Al-Jayousi; her brother, Abdul Majeed Hassan; and her older sister, Shatha Majed Hassan, executive of the Birzeit University student council, have all been previously arrested by the occupation. Her brother, Saleh Hassan, president of the Birzeit University student council in 2024, has been imprisoned since February 22, 2024. On February 19, 2025, the occupation renewed his administrative detention order for another four months.

This year, as all her sisters got married, it was the first time Shahd spent the month of Ramadan alone. On the first day of Ramadan, she took care of her newborn nieces. Upon her arrest, the occupation forces forbade Shahd from speaking to her family. Still, she left the family home with her head held high and her heart full of strength, according to her mother, telling them, “I’m fine, don’t worry.”

Ruba Dar Nasser , a Palestinian student at Birzeit University, originally from Deir Qaddis – Ramallah, arrested on January 17, 2025, and Myassar Hdeibat, originally from Yatta – Al Khalil, arrested on November 18, 2024.

Haneen Jaber was arrested on the evening of December 4, 2024, by the Zionist occupation forces, at the entrance to the city of Qalqilya. She is the mother of the martyr Mohammed Jaber, known as Abu Shujaa, an iconic resistance fighter and leader of the Tulkarem Brigades. He was first abducted by the Zionist regime at the age of 17 and spent a total of five years in occupation prisons. Abu Shujaa was martyred in August 2024, at the age of 26, alongside Hamouda Al-Awfi and Majd Daoud, after multiple assassination attempts. Another of her sons, Mahmoud Jaber, was martyred in December 2023 alongside 5 of his comrades, and her two surviving sons, Ahmad and Uday, are both released prisoners.

Siham Abu Salem (Umm Khalil), 71, from Khan Younis, Gaza, is the oldest Palestinian woman prisoner. She was arrested in early 2024 with her two daughters, Rabab and Suzan, at the hospital where they thought they were taking refuge during the Zionist entity’s genocidal offensive on Gaza. Shortly after their arrest, her daughter Rabab was released. Siham and her other daughter, Suzan, were then transferred to the Damon colonial prison. On February 26, 2025, Suzan was released along with Asmaa Shatat, another prisoner from Gaza, on the last day of the first phase of the Toufan Al-Ahrar prisoner exchange agreement. Siham is currently the only woman from Gaza incarcerated in the Damon colonial prison, although more Palestinian women from Gaza may be held elsewhere by the Zionist regime, which has consistently and repeatedly refused to divulge the names and information of those who it has kidnapped from Gaza. Palestinians abducted from Gaza have been subjected to the most extreme forms of torture and abuse, including physical, sexual and psychological torture, in prison camps and military bases, in reports documented by multiple international agencies and Palestinian organizations.

Aya Khatib, 35, from the city of Arara in occupied Palestine ’48, was imprisoned on September 18, 2023, sentenced to four years in Zionist prisons, after two years of house arrest. Accused of raising funds “and transmitting them to the resistance in Gaza,” Aya denied these accusations, stressing that this money was sent to charities to help patients in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank receive appropriate medical treatment and to support students in continuing their studies. Along with Shatila Abu Ayad, Aya Khatib is among the prisoners who were not released during the last two exchange agreements in November 2023 and January 2025. The Zionist regime consistently refuses to release Palestinians who hold “Israeli” citizenship in prisoner exchanges, seeking to classify their imprisonment as an “internal matter.”

Dr. Sereen Saeedi, 45, was arrested at her home in Beit Lid, east of Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank, during a raid on February 11, 2025. Occupation forces took her to the Al-Moskobiyeh detention center for interrogation. Sereen’s trial was initially postponed for a week. With the March 16 decision to postpone her trial to May 20, this is the sixth postponement in total for Sereen. These successive trial postponements are a means of psychological pressure against prisoners and their families, who do not know how long they will spend in prison or what their sentence will be. Sereen also suffers from a pituitary tumor. Despite her delicate health, she has been deprived of her medication by the prison administration since her arrest. The refusal to provide medical treatment when absolutely necessary is a form of torture that Zionist prisons routinely practice on imprisoned Palestinians.

Sereen Saeedi is a writer and holds a PhD in Islamic Theology and Philosophy from the World University for Islamic Sciences and Education in Jordan. She is also a lecturer at Al-Quds Open University in Palestine. She has written several articles for the e-zine Dawawin and Palestine Net, and participated in the Sixth International Conference on Drug Abuse at An-Najah National University. She is interested in educational and intellectual issues and writes short stories on spirituality and thought.

Shatila Abu Ayad was born on May 14, 1993, and is originally from Kafr Qassem, a town in the territories colonized in 1948. In 2016, she was arrested and sentenced to 16 years in prison and a 100,000 shekel fine. She is currently the Palestinian prisoner with the heaviest sentence. Even after her arrest, Shatila continued to confront the occupation: some sources indicate that, in the name of the unity of the Palestinian people and the shared oppression they face, she refused to request that her case be converted to a civil case, which could have allowed her to receive a reduced sentence. She appeared with her face hidden during her trial and also participated in a collective hunger strike against administrative detention.

While 71 women were released as part of the exchange agreement achieved by the resistance and the steadfastness of the people of Gaza at the end of November 2023, Shatila was one of the women who remained imprisoned in Damon, like Aya Khatib and May Younis, also from the territories colonized in 1948, and Nawal Fatiha, a young woman from Silwan (East Jerusalem). On January 19, 2025, while 69 Palestinian prisoners were released in the Toufan Al Ahrar exchange agreement achieved by the Resistance, she was again one of the Palestinian prisoners who were not released and who were kept in prison, like Aya Khatib, Haneen Jaber and Shaden Qous.

A Palestinian from the territories colonized in 1948, she represents the unity of Palestinians in the struggle for national liberation: within the territories of 1948, in the West Bank, in Al Quds, throughout the diaspora and in Gaza.

Wafa Jarrar, a renowned activist, martyred after being seriously injured during her arrest by the colonial army, when both of her legs were amputated above the knees. Initially ordered to administrative detention for 4 months, the occupation forces released her from prison a few days after her amputation, on May 30, 2024, so as not to be held responsible for her health. She was the coordinator of the Association of Families of Martyrs and Prisoners of the Jenin Governorate. Her husband, Abdul Jabbar Jarrar, is a resistance leader in the Jenin Governorate and has been held in administrative detention since before his wife’s martyrdom.

Saadia Farajallah, martyred on July 2, 2022, at the age of 68, after a sudden heart attack while washing before early morning prayers in Damon Prison. She was married and the mother of eight children. Arrested on December 18, 2021, outside the Ibrahimi Mosque in al-Khalil by occupation forces, she was brutally beaten, which worsened her health. During the hearing, her lawyers requested that she be allowed to see a specialized doctor, as she already suffered from complications related to diabetes, high blood pressure, and poor general health. Instead of providing her with the medical care she clearly needed, the military court sentenced her to five years in prison, a near-certain death sentence without adequate health care.

We also postered in solidarity with Anan Yaeesh, a 37-year-old Palestinian activist from Tulkarem in the West Bank. Active during the second intifada, he was imprisoned for 4 years in Zionist prisons and seriously injured after an ambush by colonial special forces in 2006. In 2013, he left Palestine for Norway before settling in Italy in 2017 and obtaining a residence permit there in 2019. At the end of January 2024, he was arrested by the Italian police in the city of L’Aquila, where he resides, and then transferred to detention in the high-security prison of Terni for alleged collaboration with the Tulkarem Brigades, an organization linked to the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades (one of the armed groups of Fatah).

Posters also featured Georges Abdallah, Arab communist and resistance struggler for Palestine, imprisoned in France since 1984 and eligible for release since 1999. Despite more than 40 years of incarceration and judicial harassment by the French imperialist state, he has never renounced his revolutionary convictions and continues to support the resistance of the Palestinian people against colonialism and occupation. On Thursday, February 20, the Paris Court of Appeal adjourned the decision on Georges Abdallah’s request for release until June 19, once again validating the need to release our comrade but invoking the condition that he financially compensate the civil parties (the family of Charles Ray). Between now and June 19, we must intensify the mobilization to rescue our comrade from French prisons together, through our collective action, so that he can finally return to his land, to Lebanon, among his people.

Victories of the anti-Zionist feminist front in Paris, 7-8 March 2025

26 March 2025

A feminist framework engaged in the struggle for the liberation of Palestine was founded in early 2025 in Paris, France, in order to support Palestinian women, too often silenced within traditional feminist circles. Despite attacks by fascists and Zionist groups and attempts to suppress their work by the French state, the mobilizations for 7 and 8 March were two important political moments to highlight the struggle of the Palestinian prisoners and the Resistance, and more generally, the struggle for a free Palestine from the river to the sea.

7 March 2025: towards a feminist intifada

For five years now, on 7 March a radical feminist night march has been held in Paris, organized by the Feminist Assembly Paris Sublieue. Last year, in 2024, the demonstration included many speeches denouncing the genocide in Gaza, Palestinian flags and signs and banners saluting the Resistance. This year, activists from Urgence Palestine and Samidoun Paris Banlieue decided to organize a march for Palestine and call upon the greatest number of participants to join in.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DGeWBp3iS3W/

Far from the dehumanizing image of passive victims portrayed in imperialist discourse, the call highlighted Palestinian women as “fighters, lawyers, and journalists, and as mothers, sisters, and companions of resistance fighters, playing a central role within the Palestinian resistance by organizing and participating in operations, strikes, demonstrations and battles within the colonial prisons.”

Very quickly, this text sparked a wave of calls by fascist and Zionist forces demanding the dissolution of Urgence Palestine and Samidoun Paris Banlieue, particularly on social networks. Very sensitive to these Zionist influencers’ remarks, Laurent Nunez, the prefect of Paris, then ordered the entire feminist march banned under the pretext of “potential security trouble,” because of the presence of two Palestine solidarity groups using the slogan, “From the river to the sea,” and making references to Leila Khaled. This was an unprecedented attack in the recent history of feminist marches in France, reflecting the current degree of fascization and the constant attempts of the government to silence anti-colonial voices, particularly activists for Palestine, in order to defend its strategic alliance with the Zionist entity.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DGwJrBUC8kO/

In response, anti-Zionist feminist activists issued a press release in one day signed by over 100 personalities and political organizations, denouncing the repression.

Meanwhile, the Feminist Assembly Paris Banlieue filed a legal challenge against the ban, and thanks to the work of the Anti-Racist Legal Team and lawyer Celia Bert Lazli, the administrative court ruled that the demonstration was actually authorized only minutes before the action was to begin, and ordered the government to pay a 1000 EUR fine to the League for Human Rights (LDH).

At approximately 7 pm, participants gathered following this last-minute victory at Gare de l’Est, with the contingent saluting the resistance of Palestinian women at the head of the demonstration, alongside the Feminist Assembly Paris Banlieue, and followed by nearly 8,000 participants, with flares, drums and voices chanting “Right to return for all refugees! Freedom for all prisoners!” The demonstration was led by two massive large banners portraying Palestinian strugglers, the liberated feminist leader and scholar Khalida Jarrar, and the longest-serving imprisoned Palestinian woman, Shatila Abu Ayad.

The march stopped for solidarity rallies outside the Gaîté Lyrique theatre being occupied by a movement of migrant minors calling for rights, equality, housing, school and health for all, as well as outside the LGBTQI+ center, before proceeding to Theodor Herzl place, named after the infamous theorist of the Zionist colonial project. The route of the demonstration highlighted various modes of resistance in struggle by oppressed groups, including the Palestinian resistance and its international supporters, confronting racist, colonial, imperialist and sexist policies carried out by the French state and its imperialist allies. This march and the promise it holds for future political alliances has shaken the government project of feminism emptied of its revolutionary scope at the service of neoliberal policies. This victory is also an important milestone for anti-colonial and pro-Palestinian feminist struggles in the Ile-de-France region.

8 March 2025: no feminism without anti-Zionism, no feminism without anti-fascism!

Following this first demonstration, on 8 March, International Working Women’s Day, the challenge in Paris was twofold: organizing a march and ensuring that fascist and Zionist groups, “Némésis” and “Nous Vivrons” cannot march in the international feminist rally.

Confronting one of the strategies of Zionist propaganda, attempting to put its anti-colonialist opponents on the defensive by calling them “antisemites,” it is necessary, as Kwame Ture already said well, to’ clearly state our own offensive discourse. This one was to take the form of a procession in honor of the Palestinian resistance fighters and all the resistance fighters of the anti-imperialist struggle. Also, under a bright sun, in Paris, along Place de la Republique, then Boulevard Voltaire, alongside Kanak flags, Reunion independence flags and a broad array of internationalist collectives, hundreds of demonstrators marched, carrying portraits of those who every day resist the brutality of the Zionist occupier. These included recently abducted Palestinian prisoners, such as Birzeit University student Karmel Khawaja, women prisoners who were not released in the Toufan Al Ahrar exchange, such as the longest-held woman prisoner Shatela Abu Ayad from Palestine ’48, and the martyrs of the prisoners’ movement, such as Saadia Farajallah.

These images of the Palestinian women prisoners, mostly held in Damon prison, were carried not only in Paris, but also in Strasbourg, Nantes, Marseille and elsewhere. The international Dismantle Damon campaign had called to center the struggle of Palestinian women prisoners and their recently liberated comrades in International Women’s Day mobilizations, as they stand alongside their brothers, comrades, children and friends as one of the most advanced sectors of the Resistance and the Palestinian people as a whole.

The announced presence of fascist and Zionist groups, “Némésis” and “Nous Vivrons” within the Paris demonstration, also required organizers to use their forces in a defense strategy prepared months in advance. For several years, the white supremacist group “Némésis” and the Zionist group “Nous Vivrons” have been attempting to violently infiltrate feminist demonstrations. The former has received support from the highest levels of the French state, such as interior minister Bruno Retailleau, as it seeks to normalize and spread racist and fascist ideas, while the latter is an openly Zionist formation defending the colonial project of ethnic cleansing.

Whenever they are present, they meet a strong spontaneous response, with activists and protesters confronting these fascists to exclude them from the demonstrations. This was successful in March 2023, despite the brutal attack by “security” for the Zionist collective, mainly composed of men with tear gas canisters and padded gloves. On 23 November 2024, these groups were surrounded by a massive police presence so large that it was impossible to prevent them from marching.

In anticipation of 8 March 2025 and in the face of the incapacity or unwillingness of the major white feminist organizations and trade unions, which, to some extent, still tolerate the presence at least of the Zionist contingent, women comrades of Samidoun Paris Banlieue and Urgence Palestine put a call out: on 8 March we will stop everything, especially fascists and Zionists.

Signed by nearly 30 organizations, this call for anti-Zionist and anti-fascist action launched discussions with many feminist organizations to develop a collective strategy for the day.

Several contingents stopped in several areas, while others gathered a cord around themselves, and other demonstrators erected a barricade. Therefore, despite violent attacks against the feminist march, including beatings, punches in the face, tossing of tear gas canisters and violent attempts to infiltrate the march, the two fascist and Zionist groups were forced to wait for hours to the side of the demonstration to finally parade quickly, surrounded by police, on a deserted street at night.

The broad pro-Palestinian, anti-zionist and anti-fascist front formed on 8 March 2025 and this political convergence on the left are a real victory against fascists and zionists in France. They lay and solidify the foundations of future collective organizing (See also the first statement of the feminist framework for Palestine). However, we must not underestimate the work remaining within many left-wing organizations on the issue of anti-Zionism. Moreover, since these recent anti-fascist victories are a blow to the policy of the French State, it is necessary, as organizations of solidarity with the Palestinian people in its liberation struggle, to remain vigilant in the face of potential future repressive measures.

Free all Palestinian prisoners!

Palestine will live, Palestine will win!

US-Zionist alliance resumes its genocidal bombing of Gaza: now is the time for action and resistance

17 March 2025

The US-Zionist genocidal assault on Gaza is continuing, with over 100 airplanes dropping US-made weapons on Palestinians in schools, refugee camps, mosques and residential buildings, with over 200 martyrs and hundreds of wounded so far. The US and the Zionist entity bear joint and several responsibility for this crime, alongside their fellow imperialist powers Germany, Britain, France, Canada and others, as well as the complicit Arab reactionary regimes, and it is long past time that they are held accountable.

The resistance in Palestine, in Yemen, in Lebanon and throughout the region are imposing that accountability, but it is critical that the people bearing the brunt of the tons of bombs and weaponry not hold this burden alone. Palestinians — and the people of the region as a whole — have been resisting Zionist genocide not only for the past 18 months, but for over 77 years of Zionist occupation and over 100 years of colonial invasion and imperial extraction.

Since the inception of the ceasefire in Gaza 60 days ago, the Palestinian resistance and responsible organizations have meticulously tracked the repeated violations of the agreement by the Zionist regime. At the same time, in order to protect their people, the Resistance has not once violated the ceasefire agreements nor retaliated against the Zionist war criminals. For the past two weeks, the Zionist regime, together with the United States and its fellow imperialist powers, have fully blocked the entrance of aid to Gaza — not only the tents, caravans and other equipment required under the terms of the ceasefire, but basic needs like food and other humanitarian essentials.

Let us be very clear: the wave of deportations, arrests, threats and attacks by the fascist US government — and fellow imperialist powers — is meant to clear the path for the US-Zionist assault on Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, all of occupied Palestine and the region. It is meant deliberately to create state terror and to quell the movement in support of Palestinian liberation. The same is true of the designations and bans imposed on Samidoun in the United States, Canada and Germany, and the attacks in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and elsewhere: these have been and are being done to keep people out of the streets, to undermine solidarity with the Resistance, and to create pervasive fear and terror imposed by the state.

All of these attacks, from the unlawful arrests and political detention of students protesting genocide, to the raids on British students, activists and journalists, to the imprisonment of Palestine Actionists for direct action, to the bans on Samidoun, to the “terrorist designation” of the Resistance organizations in Palestine, Lebanon, and Yemen, including those of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Hezbollah and AnsarAllah, are, quite simply, aiding and abetting genocide. There is no way to avoid or defeat these attacks by altering our calls for justice, remaining silent about the resistance, or allowing our movement to be divided by criminalization; it is clear that, as the Zionist regime drops its bombs on hospitals, children, and shelters, the entire Palestinian people and all who call for the liberation of Palestine, are targeted. Rather than retreat in the face of repression, it is more urgent than ever that we advance our organization, clarity, and, most critically, action.

The aim of such attacks is to create the conditions whereby the resistance, and the broad mass movement, in the imperial core does not respond and is suppressed into silence and ineffectiveness. They want the growing mass movement to leave the people and the Resistance in Palestine, in Yemen, in Lebanon, alone. This is not a coincidence of timing, it is a strategy of multi-pronged assault and counter-insurgency that has always been part of the imperialist-Zionist plan.

The Resistance is on the front lines, defending the people of Palestine and humanity itself, refusing subjugation, genocide and dispossession, not only for the past 18 months but for the past 76 years and beyond. The Zionist and imperialist regimes, despite their hundreds of tons of bombs and weapons of mass destruction dumped on the people of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, have failed to suppress the Resistance or uproot the people, and they will not end their humiliation with more genocide.

These bombs and weapons of genocide are provided by the United States, Germany, Canada, Britain, and their fellow imperialist powers. They are accompanied by political and diplomatic cover, economic integration and all forms of support for the Zionist colonial project in Palestine. Palestine Action in Britain has shown a clear example of how a people’s arms embargo can be imposed, through direct action in the center of the imperial core. Fundamentally, this is a struggle against imperialism and Zionism; genocide is at the heart of their project, and it has been the resistance, from Algeria, to Vietnam, to Palestine, that has uprooted these bloody colonial projects.

This is the time to make it clear that their repression, their bans, their designations and their arrests — their state terror and imposed fear — will never allow them to get away with genocide. It is the time to be louder, clearer and stronger than ever. It is time to stand with the Resistance, in defense of Palestine and in defense of humanity. Amid the US bombs, millions took to the streets today throughout Yemen to make it clear that their genocidal war machine would never suppress Yemeni resistance and humanity. It is imperative that the movement throughout the imperial core take inspiration from this example and do no less. We must nurture an international popular cradle of resistance that is confrontational, strong, resilient and directly aims to make their genocide impossible.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. Victory to the Resistance, defeat for imperialism and Zionism, liberation for Palestine.

Against the US-Zionist aggression and genocide: Victory for Palestine, victory for Yemen

16 March 2025

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network unequivocally condemns the latest US-Zionist assault on Yemen, which has taken the lives of dozens of martyrs and injured many more in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, and Saada Governorate, and urges all supporters of Palestine to stand in defense of Yemen and all those in the region and around the world targeted for their resistance to genocide.

The US’ latest bombing of Yemen illustrates vividly once again that this is now and always has been a US-Zionist genocide in Gaza and throughout occupied Palestine, against the Arab nation and against the region as a whole. The complicity and involvement of the Arab reactionary regimes in the assault on Yemen further underlines the alliance of Zionism, imperialism and Arab reaction in the enemy camp confronting all those who stand for justice, unity, self-determination and national and international liberation.

Yemen’s blockade of Zionist shipping is a blockade to break the siege and end genocide, the decolonization of the Red Sea from imperialist and Zionist control and domination. Yemen is leading the world in the implementation of the Genocide Convention and international law, requiring the Zionist regime to abide by its ceasefire conditions, end the siege on Gaza and stop blocking the entry of humanitarian aid. Any attack on Yemen is carried out, clearly and explicitly, to advance the project of genocide and starvation against the Palestinian people, through a bloody assault on the people of Yemen. The aggression on Yemen comes after Sayyed Abdel-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi announced that the four-day window for the Zionist regime to abide by its ceasefire agreement had expired and that, therefore, anti-genocide naval operations against Zionist shipping in the Bab al-Mandab strait would resume.

The people, armed forces, government and AnsarAllah movement of Yemen, and their revolutionary leadership, are defending their seas and land against genocide, and on the front lines in defense of the Palestinian people and advancing the liberation of Palestine. For the millions around the world boycotting the Zionist entity, it is clear that Yemen’s is the greatest example of boycott and sanctions on the Zionist regime in material practice, causing billions of dollars in damage to the Zionist genocide economy.

Millions of people continue to march in Yemen, presenting a brilliant example of the unity of popular action and mass mobilization with military action and armed struggle, with an incomparable willingness to sacrifice in order to liberate Palestine. Hezam al-Asad, a member of the political bureau of AnsarAllah, said: “Our stance in supporting our people in Gaza remains steadfast and is escalating until the siege is lifted. Nothing can affect our principled position in advocating for the injustice faced by the Palestinian people.”

It is clear that the US-Zionist assault will never break the will of the Yemeni people, after over 10 years of siege and blockade by the US-backed Arab reactionary regimes failed to quench the Yemeni people, their leadership in resistance, and their commitment to struggle for justice. Yemen stands strong, independent and free, despite the “terrorist designations” and the bombs of the imperialist powers, defending peace in the Red Sea against imperialist militarization and genocide traffic, and standing with the Palestinian people in Gaza against genocide, starvation and mass slaughter.

These attacks come simultaneously with intensified repression by the fascist state powers in the heart of the imperial core. Let us be clear: their arrests and deportations are meant to silence the movement, create fear and impose terror in the hearts of the population in order to give them free rein to bombard Yemen, to assault Gaza, to starve the Palestinian people, to attack Tulkarem, to advance genocide throughout Palestine, to threaten Iran.

It is critical that the Palestine movement stands fully with Yemen against this attack and refuses to be silenced by repression, to ensure that there is no business as usual for genocide. The only way we can effectively fight repression is to defend all those under attack and to escalate, in size, strength and numbers, our support for Palestine, for Yemen and for all of the forces of resistance. We cannot fight repression as a series of individual battles, but must do so as part of the anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist struggle, for the liberation of Palestine, the Arab nation and the region.

The Yemeni people are making quite clear that they will never stop their defense of Palestine, despite the bombings of civilian homes, power plants and infrastructure, by the US-Zionist imperialist monster. It is incumbent upon us all to take that same stand for Yemen, to begin to live up to the Yemeni example set every day with courage and steadfastness; to fill the streets and squares, to raise our voices, to make it impossible for the imperialist assaults to continue. To stand with Yemen is to stand with Palestine, is to stand with the global resistance in defense of humanity.

**

In June 2024, hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals joined with us in a statement in defense of the Yemeni people against US-British-Zionist aggression. We reiterate every word said then and urge all to act now.

(Link to sign on: https://bit.ly/yemenstatement )

We stand with Yemen confronting U.S. and British aggression

We, the undersigned parties, organizations and associations, condemn the U.S.-British aggression and attacks on the struggling people of Yemen, we express our support for the principled Yemeni position towards the Palestinian cause rights, and we declare our solidarity with the Yemeni people in the historic battle that they are waging to end the genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, to stop Zionist war crimes and to break the siege. We also stand behind the heroic Yemeni armed forces and their legitimate, natural right to respond to aggression as they implement the demands of the Yemeni people and the directives and decisions of the revolutionary leadership in Sana’a.

The people of Yemen, who have remained committed to their firm and advanced revolutionary position, continue to confront all forms of siege and aggression at the hands of the U.S. and British colonial forces and their agents in the region. They will not be intimidated by the recent U.S.-British massacre on May 31, 2024, which caused dozens of martyrs and casualties. The people of Yemen continue to express their position with unparalleled strength and courage, especially on Fridays, through the massive and solemn public demonstrations in “Sabaeen Square” in the center of the capital, Sana’a, and in various governorates, squares, and streets of the country.

The heroic Yemeni position, which has been embodied in word and deed in confronting war and aggression over the past ten years, and in supporting the Palestinian people for more than eight months, constitutes the true and necessary response against the Zionist-U.S. war of annihilation against the Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip. It also embodies an effective revolutionary model in true solidarity with the Palestinian people. This exceptional stance has become a source of pride and inspiration for all peoples and movements for justice and liberation in the world, proving the strength of free peoples and their ability to change the equations of conflict and shift the balance of power as they confront imperialism, Zionism and their agents in the world.

Glory to the martyrs and speedy recovery to the wounded

The criminal camp of U.S.-British-Zionist aggression and and their agents in the region will be defeated

Victory for the Palestinian and Yemeni peoples and for the resistance camp in Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq

Long live international solidarity
