Palestine solidarity groups condemn anti-Palestinian hate and reject conflation of Palestinian rights with anti-Semitism

Human rights groups condemn the surge of racism against Palestinians and denounce the violence that has been waged and initiated by pro-Israeli groups.  As officials ignore these crimes, NY4Palestine has launched a taskforce to receive complaints at LegalNY4Palestine@gmail.com.

Palestine solidarity groups reject, as racist and defamatory, claims that the Palestinian liberation and solidarity movement is anti-Semitic. “We reject any equivalence between Jewish people and Israel or Zionism, and so we reject the racist contention that Palestinian identity and the Palestinian struggle for liberation and defense against Israeli violence is anti-Semitic,” said Fatin Jarara, member of Al-Awda and PYM, which are part of the NY4Palestine Coalition.

“Racism drives Israeli regime practices in Palestine so our movement is grounded in anti-racist work, –  but we are not equally protected from racist hate in NY,” added Gigi Mohammed, of Al-Awda.

“Pro-Israelis have been hurling racial slurs and violence at Palestinians in NYC to provoke a response which they manipulate to further demonize their victims. This is part of Israeli campaigns [i] to undermine the mushrooming global movement against Israeli violence, colonization, and Apartheid. It is intended to and is daily hurting Palestinians, it’s also endangering Jews facing real anti-Semitism and has to stop,” said attorney Michael Letwin.

“Anti-Palestinian hatred and racism by (pro-) Israelis is so deeply normalized here even government officials engage in it regularly- from Schumer to Yang and Yeger. This city has an anti-Palestinian racism problem which is endemic to all sectors of society from courts to campuses to media. It is grossly unequal protection when a system is itself dedicated to mobilizing anti-Palestinian racism,” said human rights attorney Lamis Deek.

“We also demand NY and US government officials preempt and prosecute pro-Israeli and Zionist New Yorkers who were filmed invading and stealing Palestinian homes, and openly calling for pogroms in Palestine. These are crimes under US and NY law, and they are war crimes under international law. This silence is empowering racism and violence against Palestinians,” Deek added.

Over the past two weeks, anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim hate crimes by pro-Israeli groups in NY surged launching the hashtag #everdayIslamophobia. In the presence of NYPD and press, pro-Israelis threatened to kill and rape Palestinians, snuck into Palestinian rallies to physically assault youth, stalked youth on the streets and beat them, entire blocks of residents threw trash and full bottles from windows at them. In one incident, a middle aged pro-Israeli woman accosted a Palestinian teenager, maced him for several seconds and returned to chanting racist slurs with other Israeli and Zionist agitators – echoing Israeli pogrom chants of “death to Arabs” in Palestine. 

Ex-Israeli occupation soldiers were caught on camera initiating assaults on Palestinian youth on several occasions [ii] another pro-Israeli yelled racist slurs against Palestinian youth inciting an inappropriate violent response from his targets.[iii ] Both incidents were racistly portrayed as anti-Semitism although nothing identified the provocateurs as Jewish before or after the altercation. “The erasure of pro-Israeli, white, racist provocations and the manipulation of anti-Semitism have life devastating impact on its victims.  It also privileges and protects white violence by way of the NYPD which itself has a long track record of abusing Arab and Muslim youth,” said Suzanne Adely, president-elect of the National Lawyers Guild.

   **  More detailed report with context and footage of similar incidents is forthcoming in addendum to be released in the coming weeks

Support the Palestine Freedom Fund: Defending NY Palestine activists facing repression

In a number of cities around the world, the massive demonstrations taking to the streets for Palestine have faced police repression, brutality, criminalization and attempts to suppress the growing movement for Palestinian liberation. In particular, Palestinian and Arab youth have been targeted in many of these incidents, from New York to Berlin to Copenhagen.

In response to the attacks on Palestine demonstrations, the NY4Palestine coalition – of which Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network is a member – launched the Palestine Freedom Fund, with the call:

“Our Palestinian communities are under attack. Help us stand together to fight criminalization and support targeted youth!

Every day, Palestinian youth and activists for Palestine are targeted for criminalization, surveillance, protest arrests and police brutality.

The Palestine Freedom Fund works to support bail and legal expenses for Palestinian organizers, activists for Palestine and community members targeted for persecution. Your donation will help to protect our communities and support the movement for Palestinian liberation. Let’s get our detained and arrested activists FREE!

As a first initiative, we are fundraising for bail/legal support funds for Palestinian youth arrested at New York City demonstrations for Palestine.”

The Palestine Freedom Fund has already received significant support from the community and is accepting donations now at: https://palestinefreedomfund.org

29 May, Berlin: Internationalist left demonstration for Palestine

Saturday, 29 May
3:00 pm
Hermannplatz
Berlin, Germany
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/184707570222112

Join the internationalist march for the liberation of Palestine!

The Palestinian cause is an internationalist, anti-colonial, anti-Zionist, anti-fascist, anti-racist and anti-imperialist cause, and struggling peoples everywhere confronting oppression, exploitation, imperialism and capitalism stand with the Palestinian people in their struggle for a liberated Palestine from the river to the sea. We call upon all of our communities to take to the streets to stand together to confront repression and criminalization and demand justice and liberation!

From Turkey to the Philippines to Colombia to occupied Palestine, people’s movements rising up for justice face severe repression, criminalization and imprisonment. The political prisoners behind bars are true internationalist militant and vanguard of our struggles for justice. We will march together in Berlin on Saturday, May 29 to tear down the prison bars and join hands of solidarity and struggle for the liberation of Palestine.

We know that the Palestinian liberation struggle does not only confront the Zionist project in occupied Palestine, the Israeli regime. The Palestinian movement is confronting imperialism and the reactionary regimes that carry out its agenda, an internationalist alliance of fascist, racist, colonialist forces.
Here in Europe, the imperialist powers of the European Union — including Germany — further mete out repression against internationalist people’s movements. Palestinian communities are targeted for repression, demonstrations banned, and police attacks unleashed against Palestinian and Arab youth. Meanwhile, Turkish and Kurdish comrades are jailed as political prisoners from Turkey to Greece to Germany for struggling for liberation.

Today, we join together in a united mobilization for justice and liberation from Palestine to the Philippines, from Turkey to Colombia, to the streets of Europe. Join us to march for the liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea, for equality and justice in free and democratic Palestine. We will be together to confront Zionism, racism, fascism and imperialism, and to express our principled internationalist vision of revolutionary solidarity.

Berlin: Internationalistische Linke Solidaritätsdemo für Palästina

Samstag 29. Mai 2021
15 Uhr
Hermannplatz
Berlin, Deutschland

Beteiligt euch an an der internationalistischen Demonstration für die Befreiung Palästinas!

Die Palästinensische Sache ist eine internationalistische, anti-koloniale, anti-zionistische, antifaschistische, antirassistische und antiimperialistische Sache, und die kämpfenden Völker die überall in der Konfrontation mit Unterdrückung, Ausbeutung, Imperialismus und Kapitalismus sind, stehen an der Seite der Palästinensischen Menschen in ihrem Kampf für ein befreites Palästina, vom Fluss bis zum Meer. Wir rufen in all unseren Communities auf, sich die Straßen zu nehmen und gemeinsam gegen Repression und Kriminalisierung zu stehen um Gerechtigkeit und Freiheit zu fordern!

Von der Türkei zu den Philippinen, zu Kolumbien, zum besetzten Palästina, die Bewegung der Menschen die sich für weltweit Gerechtigkeit erheben erwarten schwere Repression, Kriminalisierung und Inhaftierung. Die politischen Gefangenen hinter Gittern sind die wahren internationalistischen Militanten und Vorreiter:innen unseres Kampfes für Gerechtigkeit. Wir werden am 29. Mai gemeinsam in Berlin laufen, um die Gefängnisgitter nieder zu reißen und uns die Hände zu reichen in Solidarität und im Kampf für die Befreiung Palästinas.

Wir wissen, dass der Palästinensische Befreiungskampf nicht nur das zionistische Projekt im besetzten Palästina konfrontiert, die israelische Regierung. Die Palästinensische Bewegung konfrontiert den Imperialismus und die reaktionären Regime, welche ihre Tagesordnung austragen, die einer internationalen Allianz aus Faschisten, Rassisten und Kolonialen Kräften.

Hier in Europa, führt die imperialistische Macht der Europäischen Union – Deutschland eingeschlossen – die Repression gegen die internationalistische Bewegung der Menschen weiter. Die Repression zielt auf Palästinensische Gemeinden, Demonstrationsverbote und entfesselte Polizeiangriffe auf die palästinensische und arabische Jugend. Während Genossinnen und Genossen aus der Türkei und Kurdistan als politische Gefangene für die Organisierung des Befreiungskampfes in der Türkei, Griechenland und Deutschland eingesperrt werden.

Heute schließen wir uns zusammen, in einer gemeinsamen Mobilisierung für Gerechtigkeit und Freiheit, von Palästina zu den Philippinen, von der Türkei nach Kolumbien bis zu den Straßen in Europa. Nehmt an der Demo teil, für die Befreiung Palästinas von Fluss bis zum Meer, für Gleichberechtigung und Gerechtigkeit in einem freien und demokratischen Palästina. Wir werden gemeinsam den Zionismus, Rassismus, Faschismus und Imperialismus konfrontieren um unsere Prinzipien einer internationalistischen Vorstellung von revolutionärer Solidarität auszudrücken.

Berlin: Filistin için Enternasyonalist Sol Dayanışma

Gösterisi 29 Mayıs 2021 Cumartesi
Saat 15 Hermannplatz
Berlin, Almanya

Filistin’in kurtuluşu için enternasyonalist gösteriye katılın!

Filistin davası enternasyonalist, anti-sömürge , anti-Siyonist, anti-faşist, anti-Irkçi ve anti-emperyalist bir davadır ve her yerde baskı, sömürü, emperyalizm ve kapitalizmle karşı karşıya olan mücadele eden halklar, Filistin halkının yanında yer almaktadır. Nehirden denize özgürleştirilmiş bir Filistin için savaşıyorlar. Adalet ve özgürlük talep etmek için tüm toplumlarımızı sokaklara çıkmaya, baskı ve suç sayılmaya karşı birlikte durmaya çağırıyoruz!

Türkiye’den Filipinler’e, Kolombiya’dan işgal altındaki Filistin’e kadar, adalet için ayaklanan halk hareketleri, şiddetli baskı, suç sayma ve hapis cezasıyla karşı karşıya. Parmaklıklar ardındaki siyasi tutsaklar, gerçek bir enternasyonalist militan ve adalet mücadelemizin öncüsüdür. 29 Mayıs Cumartesi günü Berlin’de hapishane parmaklıklarını yıkmak ve Filistin’in kurtuluşu için dayanışma ve mücadelede el ele vermek için birlikte yürüyeceğiz.

Filistin kurtuluş mücadelesinin sadece işgal altındaki Filistin’deki Siyonist projeyle, İsrail hükümetiyle karşı karşıya olmadığını biliyoruz. Filistin Hareketi, emperyalizm ve gündemlerini, faşistlerin, ırkçıların ve sömürgeci güçlerin uluslararası ittifakının gündemini yürüten gerici rejimlerle karşı karşıyadır.

Burada Avrupa’da, Avrupa Birliği’nin emperyalist gücü – Almanya dahil – halkın enternasyonalist halk hareketine karşı baskıyı sürdürüyor. Filistin topluluklarını hedef alıyor, gösteri yasakları ve Filistinli ve Arap gençliğe yönelik polis saldırıları başlatıldı. Türkiye ve Kürdistan’dan yoldaşlar ise Türkiye, Yunanistan ve Almanya’da kurtuluş mücadelesini organize ettikleri için siyasi tutuklular olarak hapsediliyor.

Bugün Filistin’den Filipinler’e, Türkiye’den Kolombiya’ya, Avrupa sokaklarına kadar ortak bir adalet ve özgürlük seferberliğinde bir araya geliyoruz. Özgür ve demokratik bir Filistin’de eşitlik ve adalet için Filistin’in nehirden denize kurtuluşu için gösteriye katılın. Enternasyonalist devrimci dayanışma fikri ilkelerimizi ifade etmek için Siyonizm, ırkçılık, faşizm ve emperyalizmle birlikte karşı karşıya geleceğiz.

المسيرة الأممية الثورية من أجل تحرير فلسطين

 

السبت 29 أيار 2021

ساحة الهيرمان، برلين

الساعة الثالثة بعد الزوال

 

انضموا للمظاهرة الأممية من أجل تحرير فلسطين!

 

إن القضية الفلسطينية هي قضية أممية مناهضة للاستعمار والصهيونية والفاشية ومعادية للعنصرية والإمبريالية وإن كل الشعوب المناضلة في أنحاء العالم التي تقاوم الظلم والاستغلال والرأسمالية تقف مع كفاح الشعب الفلسطيني من أجل تحرير فلسطين من النهر إلى البحر. نحن ندعو كل أنصار الحق الفلسطيني للنزول إلى الشوارع والوقوف صفا واحدا ضد القمع وكل محاولات تجريم النضال الوطني، حتى نرفع الصوت عاليا تأكيدا على إصرارنا على تحقيق العدالة والتحرير والعودة!

من تركيا إلى الفليبين مرورا بكولومبيا وفلسطين المحتلة، تواجه الشعوب الثائرة القمع والاعتقال ومحاولات تجريم نضالاتها. إن المعتقلين السياسيين خلف القضبان هم مناضلون أمميون يقفون في طليعة الحركة العالمية المناضلة من أجل العدالة. سنمضي سويا يوم السبت، التاسع والعشرون من أيار، في المسيرة الأممية الثورية حتى نتغلب على قضبان السجون وتتشابك أيدينا مع الحركة الأسيرة في نضال واحد من أجل تحرير فلسطين.

نحن نعلم أن حركة التحرر الوطني الفلسطيني لا تواجه فقط المشروع الصهيوني على أرض فلسطين ولكنها أيضا تواجه الإمبريالية العالمية والأنظمة الرجعية التي تخدم مصالحها وأن الصهيونية والامبريالية والرجعية تشكل معا مكونات معسكر العدو العنصري والفاشي والاستعماري.

هنا في أوروبا وألمانيا تتعرض القوى الأممية الثورية إلى القمع والملاحقة تماما كما يتم قمع جماهير شعبنا الفلسطيني والعربي وملاحقته، من قبل البوليس الذي يعتدي على المتظاهرين والسلطات التي تحاول منع المظاهرات. بالتوازي يتم سجن المناضلين الأتراك والأكراد في سجون ألمانيا واليونان وتركيا ويتواصل احتجازهم كمعتقلين سياسيين لأنهم يناضلون من أجل الحرية.

اليوم ننزل معا إلى الشوارع في نضال واحد ومشترك، من فلسطين إلى الفليبين، من تركيا إلى كولومبيا، من أجل العدالة والحرية. انضموا لنا من أجل تحرير فلسطين من النهر إلى البحر، من أجل العدالة والمساواة في فلسطين الحرة الديمقراطية. سنكون معا لمجابهة الصهيونية والامبريالية والفاشية والعنصرية وحتى نعبر بوضوح عن رؤيتنا الأممية وتمسكنا بمبادئ التضامن الثوري.

May 28, NYC: CUNY Must Divest! Rally and Press Conference for Palestine

Friday, 28 May
3:00 pm
John Jay College
524 W 59th St
New York City
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/2951785921811362/

This event will publicize the CUNY Statement for Palestine and then march to CUNY offices. See latest statement updates at the link.

CUNY Community Statement of Solidarity with the Palestinian People

[To add your name, please click here or email cuny.solidarity.letter@gmail.com]

We, members of the City University of New York community, stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine resisting the violence and oppression of Israeli settler colonial and apartheid rule.

We condemn the brutal bombing of Gaza, one of the world’s most densely populated areas, by Israeli forces. This represents the latest chapter of a nearly-fifteen-year illegal blockade that has transformed the territory into a prison for its two million inhabitants, most of whom descend from refugees expelled and driven from their homes during the Nakba that resulted from the establishment of the settler colonial state of Israel.

We condemn the forced removal of Palestinians from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah—part of the broader colonial project of dispossession and expulsion, including unequal residency rights and discriminatory planning policies designed to advance the ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem. We oppose the raiding of the al-Aqsa mosque, and the de facto annexation of East Jerusalem, which is illegally occupied territory. 

We mourn all loss of life. But we do not subscribe to a “both sides” rhetoric that erases the military, economic, media, and global power that Israel has over Palestine. This narrative  ignores and conceals the meaningful differences between Israel—one of the most heavily militarized states in the world that receives $3.8 billion of military aid annually from the U.S.—and a Palestinian population resisting colonial occupation and oppression. We pledge to do all in our power to change the conversation.

We assert that this is not a “conflict” that is too “controversial and complex” to assess. Since its inception, Israel has used violent force, punitive bureaucracy, and its legal system to expel Palestinians from their rightful homes and to remove Palestinian people from their land. Israeli law systematically discriminates against Palestinian citizens of Israel. Palestinians are cut off from each other by a network of checkpoints, laws, settler-only highways, and a separation wall that swallows illegally occupied Palestinian land. Both Human Rights Watch and B’Tselem have recently concluded that Israeli policies and practices towards Palestinians amount to apartheid, reinforcing a decades old analysis of Palestinian and international solidarity organizations.

We wholeheartedly endorse the “Palestine and Praxis” open letter and call to action, affirming our own commitment to speaking out in defense of “the Palestinian struggle as an indigenous liberation movement confronting a settler colonial state,” as well as foundational principles of scholarly integrity and academic freedom. We vow to support those who are most vulnerable to attack for organizing and speaking out on our campuses, including Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and other students, faculty, and staff of color.

We unequivocally endorse and amplify the call from the Palestinian Feminist Collective for “feminists everywhere to speak up, organize, and join the struggle for Palestinian liberation” and the solidarity statement from gender studies departments.  

We hail the fortitude and determination of the Palestinian people, who remain, despite the fragmentation of their populations, united in their demands to end their oppression. May 15 marked the 73rd anniversary of the Nakba, an ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestine that drove over 750,000 Palestinians out of their homes, villages, and cities between the years 1947-1949. Today the vast majority of these Palestinians and their descendants are refugees in bordering countries and in the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. We take our stand with Palestinians who have been resisting settler colonialism for more than one hundred years.

Therefore, we pledge to:

  • Initiate, support, and amplify campaigns in solidarity with Palestinian calls for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israeli apartheid, at CUNY and in our wider communities. In particular, we echo the demands of the John Jay Student Letter to Demand BDS and Solidarity with Palestinian Resistance and stand with any and all student-led resolutions demanding CUNY’s immediate divestment from companies that aid in Israeli colonization, occupation, and war crimes. As of 2014, CUNY invests at least $1,093,900 in weapons manufacturers such as Boeing, General Electric, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon; tech and security companies such as Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, G4S, and Motorola Solutions; and construction firms such as Caterpillar and Cemex.
  • Demand that our individual campuses, and CUNY as a whole, endorse and support the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel.
  • Stand in solidarity with students, staff, and faculty organizing for justice in Palestine at CUNY and everywhere. In particular, we pledge to push back against attempts to repress Students for Justice in Palestine chapters, and similar student-led efforts, at CUNY or anywhere. The “Palestine exception to free speech” needs to end!
  • Highlight Palestinian scholarship on Palestine in syllabi, our writing, and through invitation of  Palestinian scholars and community members to speak at departmental and university events, and extend this approach to any and all indigenous scholars within the university and in our communities.
  • Support community efforts and legislation to pressure our government to end funding for Israeli military aggression.

Against the rain of bombs, against the roving murderous mobs, against settler colonialism, against the support of complacent Western governments, we stand with the people of Palestine. We join together in rededicating ourselves to working against all forms of racism, colonialism, and injustice at CUNY, in the classroom, on campus, in our communities, and beyond.

Call for Action from Occupied Palestine ’48: Resist colonial imprisonment and repression!

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network is sharing the following call from Haifa, occupied Palestine ’48. Hirak Haifa has distributed this appeal for international action to Palestinian communities and supporters of Palestinian liberation around the world: 

Israel has declared war against Palestinians who dare to resist its colonial project and demand freedom.

Today, the Israeli police announced their intent to arrest over 500 Palestinian citizens of Israel over the next 48 hours. This wave of mass arrests will take place as part of what Israel calls a “law and order” campaign. Thousands of police officers will carry out violent arrests, kicking into doors, brutalizing families and kidnapping our brothers and sisters.

This is not just an attempt to intimidate and discipline those who participated in the Unity Intifada for justice and liberation. This is a declaration of war. It is the settler colonial project’s way of attempting to crush our people’s spirit, resistance and resilience.

Over 1400 have already been arrested since May 9th. At least 200 people will be charged. Israel’s arrest campaigns have primarily targeted minors and working class youth from impoverished communities.

Do not remain silent. Speak about this and make it a priority for your solidarity campaign. Write to your representatives and force them to condemn this. Tweet about it. This cannot be allowed to pass quietly.

**

TAKE ACTION: 

Protest at the Israeli Embassy or Consulate in Your Country!

Join the many protests taking place around the world — confront, isolate and besiege the Israeli embassy or consulate in your city or country of residence. Make it clear that the people are with Palestine! Send us your events at samidoun@samidoun.net.

Take to the streets: Organize a protest in solidarity with Palestine!

Hundreds of thousands – millions of people – around the world have marched and protested with Palestine, its people and its liberation over the past week. Your protest and organizing is also key to supporting this strike!  Take to the streets and join the actions on our full list of events, which is constantly being updated as new actions are announced! Organize your own if there is none in your area, and send us your events at samidoun@samidoun.net.

Boycott Israel

The international, Arab and Palestinian campaign to boycott Israel can play an important role at this critical time. Local boycott groups can protest and label Israeli produce and groceries. Products grown and produced on stolen Palestinian land are marketed around the world while Israel attempts to force Palestinians from Jerusalem, demolish homes, and imprisons thousands more. By participating in the boycott of Israel, you can directly help to throw a wrench in the economy of settler colonialism. Download our Boycott Flyer to distribute at supermarkets, stores and other venues in your community!

Demand Your Government Sanction Israel!

The racist, settler colonial state of Israel and its war crimes against the Palestinian people are enabled and backed extensively by the over $3.8 billion each year given to Israel by the United States — targeted directly to support the Israeli occupation military killing children, women, men and elders throughout occupied Palestine. From Canada to Australia to the European Union, Western governments and imperialist powers provide ongoing diplomatic, political and economic support to Israel as well as selling billions of dollars of weaponry to the settler-colonial state. Meanwhile, they also purchase billions of dollars in weaponry from the Israeli state. Governments in league with imperialist powers, such as in the Philippines, Brazil, India and elsewhere, also buy weapons and “security” services — all “battle-tested” on the Palestinian population. Call your representatives, MPs, political officials and demand your government sanction Israel now, cut off all aid, expel its ambassadors, and stop buying and selling weapons!

 

Palestinian Resistance Wins: Now, The Struggle Continues! 

Samidoun in occupied Palestine, 18 May 2021

With the announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza, Palestine, one lesson is extremely clear: Palestinian resistance lives, Palestinian resistance thrives, Palestinian resistance unites, and Palestinian resistance wins. The resistance, in all of its varied and creative forms, is deeply rooted in the Palestinian people inside and outside Palestine, a legitimate resistance fighting colonialism, occupation, settler colonialism: Zionist racism, backed by the full weight of U.S. imperialism and its allies in Canada, Europe, Australia and elsewhere. The Palestinian resistance, with the armed struggle at its heart, is not only the core of the Palestinian liberation movement, but the front line of the defense of humanity against imperialism and colonial domination. 

While the Israeli war machine, armed and funded by the United States and the arms sales of Europe, Canada and elsewhere, was humiliated by the Palestinian resistance, the ceasefire does not end the ongoing Nakba of the Palestinian people, the project of Zionist settler colonialism for more than 73 years. Palestinians are continuing to resist land confiscation, home demolitions, siege, mass incarceration, extrajudicial killings, the denial of the right to return: the entire colonial project in Palestine, on the road to return and liberation, from the river to the sea. At this moment, it is more critical than ever to support Palestinian steadfastness, resistance and revolutionary struggle with global solidarity and action. 

The Palestinian resistance in Gaza entered this battle, demonstrating clearly the unity of the Palestinian people and their resistance, whether in Haifa, in Jerusalem, in Ramallah or in Gaza. The heroic struggle of Palestinians in Jerusalem to defend their homes and land, especially in Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan, and the defense of Al-Aqsa Mosque, from rampaging hordes of colonial settler gangs backed by Israeli military and police force, mobilized the Palestinian people as a whole, inside and outside Palestine. 

The strength of the Palestinian people in occupied Palestine ’48, retaining their identity, their cause and their vision of liberation, driving out the occupation forces from their communities, defending their people from fascist bands marauding alongside colonial police, underlined that fundamental unity. In the West Bank, villages, cities and refugee camps rose up to demand collective liberation for Palestine. 

And everywhere in the world, from the refugee camps surrounding Palestine, throughout the Arab region, and globally, millions have already filled the streets in support of the Palestinian people and their resistance. 

The ceasefire does not bring this struggle to a conclusion. On the contrary, this moment heralds a new phase of struggle in which even greater engagement and organizing is perhaps more critical than ever, as the Palestinian resistance has changed the rules of engagement. The vision to guide that organizing is clear: return and liberation, justice for all of Palestine, from the river to the sea. 

The Israeli war machine has not hesitated to carry out massacres against the Palestinian people. In the past 11 days, at least 259 Palestinians’ and Arabs’ lives have been taken, particularly those of civilians, including 65 children and, indeed, entire families, in Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem, occupied Palestine ’48 and on the borders with Lebanon. In Gaza, banks, media buildings, chemical and plastics factories, public buildings, streets and fundamental civilian infrastructure were subjected to systematic aerial bombings in which entire families were targeted alongside the Palestinian economy. At this moment, it is critical to support the steadfastness of the Palestinian people in Gaza, first and foremost, by breaking the siege on Gaza permanently. 

Every one of those martyrs’ lives is a precious story cut short by the violence of colonialism. Every martyr had a name, a life, a family, a job, dreams and visions of the future and memories of the past, all stolen by Israeli bombs and missiles, many of them paid for by U.S. taxpayers. So far in this uprising throughout Palestine, hundreds upon hundreds of Palestinians have been detained by Israeli occupation forces, alongside 4,500 Palestinian political prisoners, the imprisoned leadership of the Palestinian revolution. 

There are urgent tasks for the solidarity movement today: first and foremost, to keep up, escalate and build the struggle, make our organizing stronger and deeper, and build greater connections of solidarity with liberation movements around the world. 

Our vision for solidarity must center and support Palestinian resistance by all means, including armed struggle alongside cultural resistance, political organizing, mass struggle, strikes, boycotts and popular action. The right for Palestinians to defend themselves and liberate themselves from colonialism, occupation and apartheid is fundamental. Palestinian resistance is not “terrorist.” It is a fundamental right. This means that we must fight to put an end to the “terror” designations criminalizing Palestinian resistance and liberation movements. The greatest strength of our solidarity is to provide support and space for the Palestinian resistance to thrive and achieve victory, by cutting off the flow of arms, money and political support to the Zionist colonial project.

This also means building the boycott movement, isolating Israel on an international level and pushing international governments and the United Nations to impose meaningful sanctions on Israel, from an arms embargo to cutting off the over $3.8 billion in U.S. aid Israel receives every year, to putting an end to the favorable trade deals in Canada, the European Union and elsewhere that reward the exploitation of indigenous Palestinian land and labor. Every person can play a role in boycotting Israel and the corporations that profit from death, destruction and colonialism in occupied Palestine, on an individual level and even more powerfully on a collective level. The boycott extends beyond a consumer campaign to academic and cultural boycott of Israeli institutions. 

It is also clear more than ever that the Palestinian resistance has effectively put an end to the U.S-sponsored “normalization” projects trumpeted by complicit Arab regimes. From Yemen to Algeria, Tunis to Baghdad, Nouakchott through Rabat, the Arab masses have taken to the streets with Palestine. The Palestinian resistance and ongoing uprising throughout occupied Palestine has also indicated the failure of imperialism to crush resistance, self-determination and liberation struggle throughout the region, despite sanctions, invasions and devastating wars. Palestine has redirected the compass of the region towards confrontation with Zionism, imperialism, and the reactionary forces that enabled them, and inspires all around the world who struggle to bring imperialism to an end.

Imperialism has continued to function hand in hand with its strategic partner, Israel. This extends not only to the public declarations of support for Israeli war crimes by U.S. and European officials and the ongoing flow of money and weapons, but to the targeting and repression of Palestinians and Arabs in exile and diaspora. 

In Copenhagen, Paris and Berlin, massive police brutality targeted demonstrations of thousands marching for Palestine. Protests in multiple European countries were banned, demonstrators beaten and organizers smeared in media and political campaigns aiming to criminalize Palestinian organizing. As Palestinians throughout Palestine celebrated the resistance in the early morning of 21 May, 20 Palestinian youth were attacked and detained by the New York police department for protesting for Palestine.

Throughout the years of the Madrid-Oslo path of the “peace process,” Palestinians in exile and diaspora were forcibly sidelined and excluded from official political leadership. Today, diaspora Palestinians are reclaiming their role, voice and power in the struggle for return and liberation. 

Within the heart of empire, despite the violence and criminalization meted out to demonstrators by police, the massive turnouts in support of Palestine made clear that the mythology of Zionist settler colonialism is increasingly exposed, and that politicians looking for public support may find that unbridled support for Israel is no longer a path to political success. As movements for Black liberation, Indigenous sovereignty and anti-imperialist struggle grow, the Palestinian movement is building upon decades of joint struggle to put forward an alternative vision for the world. 

The mythology of the “peace process,” of apartheid and colonialism as a “solution,” of the mirage of a Palestinian Authority under Israeli, U.S. and European domination lies exposed, discredited and lifeless. Instead, the Palestinian resistance is a national, Arab and international beacon of hope and life. 

The Palestinian people, whether inside prison bars, in exile in the refugee camps, or fighting for freedom anywhere in Palestine, from the river to the sea, present a vision for the future that is clear: one Palestine, liberated, from the river to the sea. Free of Zionism, free of imperialism, free of settler colonialism. At this critical moment, it is time to act, organize, protest, build and resist together to make that vision a reality.

“We win together, and we win only together.” – Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, imprisoned Arab fighter for Palestine, from French jails after 36 years of imprisonment. Palestine lives, the intifada continues, the struggle intensifies and Palestine will win!  Long live Palestinian resistance! Long live international solidarity!

North American statement for May 18 global day of action

We, the undersigned Palestinian-led organizations, endorse the General Strike called for by our people across all of colonized Palestine for May 18, 2021, and call on all supporters of Palestinian liberation to join the Day of Action.

The Zionist settler-colonial state of Israel has launched a brutal military assault against our besieged people in the Gaza Strip and is pursuing the ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem, most notably in the neighborhoods of Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan. These instances are a continuation of over 73 years of exile, oppression, and violence enacted by the apartheid state and Israeli settler mobs. Yet, our determination to liberate our people and homeland has only increased.

We ask our people and allies in the diaspora, Palestinian/Arab organizations, unions, and social justice movements to heed the call for a day of action in support of the general strike in Palestine on Tuesday, May 18, 2021. We urge you to join Palestinians in this global day of action by organizing actions at Israeli embassies and consulates, holding vigils for Palestinians killed by the apartheid Israel, releasing solidarity statements, and calling on your governments to enact sanctions on the apartheid state of Israel.

Until return and liberation,

Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM)

Day of Action in Solidarity with the Palestinian Uprising and General Strike: Tuesday, May 18


As Israel is continuing its massacres in Gaza, its attacks in Jerusalem and settler mob violence throughout occupied Palestine from the river to the sea, Palestinians have called for a general strike!

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network joins the call of Palestinians in Palestine and across the world for actions and mobilizations in support of the call for a general strike in Palestine on Tuesday, 18 May, and the escalation of organizing and resistance until liberation and return for Palestine.

This call has been supported by the Palestinian prisoners’ movement and popular movements, youth organizations, labor unions, political parties, and other mobilizations from the river to the sea inside occupied Palestine, and the call is expected to grow even further. As Palestinians are united with the #PalestineStrike, Samidoun calls on all labor movements, unions and syndicates around the world to support the Palestine Strike. Please share with us your endorsements, actions and solidarity statements so that we can publicize them widely.

Join in the call to action!

#PalestineStrike from the river to the sea!

Day of Action in solidarity with the Palestinian uprising & general strike
From across Palestine, we call on you to join our general strike and day of action on Tuesday, May 18. Launched from Jerusalem and extending to every village, city, and refugee camp across Palestine and at our borders with Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, we call on your support in maintaining this moment of unprecedented popular resistance.The Israeli settler-colonial regime and military occupation has suffocated us and attempted to extinguish all possibility for the past 73 years. Now we demand our freedom — for the sake of the lives taken from us, for the countless injured, for those whose homes were destroyed, and for the thousands of our people arbitrarily imprisoned by the occupation.

As Jewish Israeli settler mobs and the Israeli state continue a campaign of violence against our people in Sheikh Jarrah and Gaza, we will continue our popular intifada until the liberation of our lands and people.

As Palestinian youth, we invite you across the international community to contribute to our general strike on May 18th by organizing actions in your cities and communities. We invite you to hold actions outside Israeli embassies and consulates in your region, but invite any gesture or action in solidarity with our continued struggle.

We will continue to strike, organize, and protest for as long as the occupation exists. Liberation is within our reach.

TAKE ACTION: 

Protest at the Israeli Embassy or Consulate in Your Country!

Join the many protests taking place around the world — confront, isolate and besiege the Israeli embassy or consulate in your city or country of residence. Make it clear that the people are with Palestine! Send us your events at samidoun@samidoun.net.

Take to the streets: Organize a protest in solidarity with Palestine!

Hundreds of thousands – millions of people – around the world have marched and protested with Palestine, its people and its liberation over the past week. Your protest and organizing is also key to supporting this strike!  Take to the streets and join the actions on our full list of events, which is constantly being updated as new actions are announced! Organize your own if there is none in your area, and send us your events at samidoun@samidoun.net.

Boycott Israel

The international, Arab and Palestinian campaign to boycott Israel can play an important role at this critical time. Local boycott groups can protest and label Israeli produce and groceries. During Ramadan, Israeli dates from stolen Palestinian land are marketed around the world while Israel attempts to force Palestinians from Jerusalem, demolish homes, and imprisons thousands more. By participating in the boycott of Israel, you can directly help to throw a wrench in the economy of settler colonialism. Download our Boycott Flyer to distribute at supermarkets, stores and other venues in your community!

Demand Your Government Sanction Israel!

The racist, settler colonial state of Israel and its war crimes against the Palestinian people are enabled and backed extensively by the over $3.8 billion each year given to Israel by the United States — targeted directly to support the Israeli occupation military killing children, women, men and elders throughout occupied Palestine. From Canada to Australia to the European Union, Western governments and imperialist powers provide ongoing diplomatic, political and economic support to Israel as well as selling billions of dollars of weaponry to the settler-colonial state. Meanwhile, they also purchase billions of dollars in weaponry from the Israeli state. Governments in league with imperialist powers, such as in the Philippines, Brazil, India and elsewhere, also buy weapons and “security” services — all “battle-tested” on the Palestinian population. Call your representatives, MPs, political officials and demand your government sanction Israel now, cut off all aid, expel its ambassadors, and stop buying and selling weapons!
