22 June, Paris: National demonstration to free Georges Abdallah

Saturday, 22 June
2:00 pm
Place des Fetes
Paris, France
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1076805609181584/

While our comrade Georges Abdallah has beguns since last October his 35th year of detention, the voices and forces that mobilize to demand his release continue to grow. This mobilization is growing on the national and international level.

More than ever, the demand for the liberation of our comrade must be defended and reaffirmed but not, as Georges Abdallah himself emphasizes, by begging for his freedom, but instead by fighting and establishing a real change in the balance of power through actions everywhere on all fronts. It is through building our actions that we will succeed in compelling the French state to free our comrade.

We call on all those who are on the side of the struggling peoples, with the Palestinian resistance, who fight capitalism, imperialism, Zionism, state racism, colonialism and the reacctionary Arab states to form a unified front of action to free Georges Abdallah.

Manifestation nationale pour la libération de Georges Abdallah !
Alors que notre camarade Georges Abdallah a entamé, depuis octobre dernier, une 35ème année de détention, les voix et les forces qui se mobilisent pour exiger sa libération ne cessent aujourd’hui de s’amplifier. Cette mobilisation est portée sur le plan national et international et fait désormais bouger les lignes.

Plus que jamais, l’exigence de la libération de notre camarade doit être défendue et réaffirmée mais non, comme l’affirme Georges Abdallah lui-même en quémandant sa liberté mais par la lutte et l’établissement d’un véritable rapport de force à travers des actions militantes partout et sur tous les fronts. C’est par cet élargissement de nos actions que nous parviendrons à contraindre l’État français à libérer notre camarade.

Nous appelons toutes celles et tous ceux qui sont du côté des peuples en lutte, du côté de la résistance palestinienne, qui combattent le capitalisme, l’impérialisme, le sionisme, le racisme d’Etat, le colonialisme et les États réactionnaires arabes, à former un Front unitaire d’actions pour la libération de Georges Abdallah.

Rappelons que ce prisonnier politique, incarcéré depuis 1984, pour complicité dans des actes de résistance à l’invasion sioniste de son pays le Liban, libérable depuis 1999, est maintenu en prison sur injonction du gouvernement étasunien, malgré deux libérations prononcées par le tribunal d’application des peines.

Rappelons que ce militant communiste révolutionnaire, tout au long de son incarcération, n’a jamais rien renié de son engagement politique anti-impérialiste, qu’il confirme encore aujourd’hui par son inébranlable volonté et son attachement indéfectible à la juste cause des peuples opprimés de Palestine, du Liban, et partout dans le monde.

La lutte pour la libération de notre camarade est de toutes nos luttes car « il est de nos luttes et nous sommes de son combat » contre toutes les formes de violence d’Etat, politique, économique, sociale. L’exigence de sa libération est présente dans les luttes contre les violences policières, principalement dans les quartiers populaires, dans la lutte des gilets jaunes, dans les luttes revendicatives et dans toutes celles des travailleurs. Face à un tel Etat répressif et liberticide, un seul mot d’ordre se doit d’être opposé : celui du droit juste et légitime à se révolter, à agir et s’unir dans l’action pour faire converger les résistances et c’est ce terreau qui unit aussi nos luttes à celle de Georges Abdallah.

La lutte pour sa libération s’inscrit enfin pleinement dans le combat plus large de la défense de tous les prisonniers politiques révolutionnaires du monde. Et c’est dans ce cadre que doit aussi s’affirmer notre solidarité au combat de Georges Abdallah, un combat de toute une vie, contre l’impérialisme, le capitalisme et pour une Palestine libre.

Nous appelons à poursuivre et à amplifier le travail déjà engagé dans le cadre de la campagne unitaire et à participer massivement à la :
Manifestation nationale pour la libération de Georges Abdallah, samedi 22 juin 2019, à Paris (20ème), Place des fêtes, à 14h00

C’est ensemble et seulement ensemble que nous vaincrons !

8 June, NYC: Rasmea Odeh and the Repression of Palestine with Suzanne Adely

Saturday, 8 June
3:00 pm
The People’s Forum
320 W. 37th St

Join us for this fantastic opportunity to hear from Rasmea Odeh, one of the leading lights in the Palestinian liberation struggle and a former political prisoner both in Israel and the United States, and Suzanne Adely, a revolutionary organizer and movement lawyer.

Join the Committee to Stop FBI Repression as we review the case of Rasmea Odeh, how she fought back against state repression in Israel and the US, hear from Odeh herself as she Skypes in, and end with Suzanne Adely expertly highlighting the struggle that Palestinians face today in the fight for the liberation of their land.

2 June, NYC: Canvass to End Israeli Military Detention of Palestinian Kids

Sunday, 2 June
1:00 pm
Brooklyn Public Library
10 Grand Army Plaza
Brooklyn, NY
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/413269776191681/

Join the NYC-DSA Anti-War Working Group as we canvas in support of H.R. 2407, the “Promoting Human Rights for Palestinian Children Living Under Israeli Military Occupation” Act.

Sign our petition calling on NY Congressional representatives to support the legislation: bit.ly/PalestinianChildren
[in the last session of Congress, the same legislation was supported by ZERO congressional reps from New York]

This is the first legislation in US history that would put in place US sanctions against Israel, in proportion to Israeli violations of Palestinian rights.

The U.S. currently gives $3.8b yearly in unconditional military aid to Israel. If implemented, this act would end US funding to systematic Israeli crimes against Palestinian children, under the Israeli military detention system in the occupied West Bank.

It should not be controversial to demand that US taxpayer dollars not go toward crimes against children— in Palestine, or anywhere!

On International Day of Quds, people of conscience gather to express solidarity with all the oppressed human beings of the world and particularly the innocent civilians of Palestine who are victimized by the oppressive and racist Zionist regime.

We invite all peace loving people to voice their opposition to the unjust and illegal occupation of the great Al-Aqsa Mosque and the usurpation of the Holy Land by the Zionist regime. In addition, we will also protest the current Saudi aggression in Yemen.

We, the citizens of the United States reserve the right to boycott any and all parties involved in practicing racist, discriminatory, and oppressive policies.

Stand with us! Stand for your rights!

We will rally at Times Square where our speakers will shed lights on the atrocities being committed by the Zionist state on the oppressed people of Palestine.

31 May, Copenhagen: Protest against German repression against the BDS movement

Friday, 31 May
11:00 am
Copenhagen – German Embassy
Copenhagen, Denmark
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/336217810605411/

Demonstration in protest against the German Bundestag’s condemnation of the BDS movement, the campaign to boycott Israel.

We will meet at Nordhavn station at 10:30 am and then go to the embassy

Stop the false allegations of anti-Semitism against BDS by the Bundestag!

Stop attacks on the freedom to boycott Israel! Free Palestine! Boycotting Israel is not anti-Semitism!

On 17 May, the German Bundestag adopted a resolution accusing BDS – to which the Boykot Israel campaign is affiliated – of anti-Semitism. BDS is not based on religion or ethnicity and does not target Jews. BDS is aimed at the apartheid state of Israel and its crimes against the Palestinians.

Follow this video to see the debate in the German Bundestag and BDS comments. It is shocking the monstrous allegations these parties make against BDS:

Demonstration i protest mod den tyske Forbundsdags Kriminalisering af Boykot Israel-bevægelsen BDS

(vi mødes ved Nordhavn station kl. 10.30 og går samlet til ambassaden)

Stop Forbundsdagens falske beskyldninger mod BDS for antisemitisme!

Stop angreb på Boykot Israel-aktivisters ytringsfrihed!

Frit Palæstina!

Boykot af Israel er ikke antisemitisme!

Den tyske Forbundsdag har den 17/5 vedtaget en resolution hvor BDS – som Boykot Israel Kampagnen er tilsluttet – anklages for antisemitisme. Men BDS er ikke baseret på religion eller etnicitet og er ikke rettet mod jøder. BDS er rettet mod apartheidstaten Israel og dens forbrydelser mod palæstinenserne.

Følg i denne video (se linket) debatten i den tyske Forbundsdag og BDS’s kommentarer. Det er chokerende hvilke uhyrlige anklager de forskellige partier retter mod BDS.

Set Them Free!!

In February we came together to hear about the cases of Mustapha Awad and Joke Kaviaar. Two political prisoners: one Belgian-Palestinian, Mustapha was imprisoned in Israel and Dutch activist Joke was imprisoned here in the Netherlands.

They have both now been released and we are honored to have Joke join us on May 30th for an evening on political prisoners. The evening will kick off with a benefit dinner and then a discussion led by Joke about their experiences and how we can continue to support political prisoners wherever they are being incarcerated. Following the discussion we’ll have live music from Joke Kaviaar and Peter Storm’s band Your Local Pirates. We will also have an exhibition, highlighting the cases of a selection of political prisoners from around the globe.

Join us for this evening of food, music and insight into the struggle of political prisoners. All proceeds will go to Samidoun (Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network).

29 May, Athens: Shame on Germany! Stand with the Palestinian people

Wednesday, 29 May
6:00 pm
Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany
Ipsilantou 10
Athens, Greece
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/309200413339988/

Join us on Wednesday, 29 May to protest outside the German embassy in Athens-Greece!
On 19 May, #Germany‘s parliament declared #BDS (the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement against Israel) to be “anti-Semitic.” In reality, this is a racist attack on the Palestinian people. The campaign against BDS has been pushed by the extreme right from “Israel” to Germany. Just as Germany is enforcing “fortress Europe” policies against #refugees and impoverishing the people of Greece with economic domination, the German state is standing together with occupation, oppression, apartheid and colonialism in Palestine. We stand with the Palestinian people and condemn this German imperialist attack on Palestinian rights! Boycott Israel!

Η μετάφραση του αγγλικού καλέσματος είναι αυτή:

Όλοι και όλες την Τετάρτη, 29 Μαΐου, στη διαμαρτυρία μπροστά στην πρεσβεία της Γερμανίας στην Αθήνα!
Στις 19 Μαΐου, το κοινοβούλιο της #Γερμανίας κήρυξε το #BDS (κίνημα Μποϊκοτάζ, Απόσυρσης Επενδύσεων και Κυρώσεων κατά του Ισραήλ) αντισημιτικό. Στην πραγματικότητα, αυτό αποτελεί μια ρατσιστική επίθεση στο λαό των Παλαιστινίων. Η άκρα δεξιά μεταφέρει την εκστρατεία κατά του BDS από το “Ισραήλ” στη Γερμανία. Ακριβώς όπως η Γερμανία ενισχύει πολιτικές “Ευρώπης-Φρούριο” κατά των #προσφύγων και οικονομικής κυριαρχίας στο λαό της Ελλάδας, το γερμανικό κράτος συντάσσεται με το καθεστώς κατοχής, καταπίεσης, απαρτχάιντ και αποικιοκρατίας στην Παλαιστίνη. Στεκόμαστε πλάι στον παλαιστινιακό λαό και καταδικάζουμε την γερμανική ιμπεριαλιστική επίθεση στα δικαιώματα των Παλαιστινίων! Μποϊκοτάζ στο Ισραήλ!

Το ελληνικό κείμενο που έχετε βάλει έχει πολλά λάθη και κάποια σημεία του δεν είναι κατανοητά, για αυτό δεν είναι εύκολο να το διορθώσουμε.

باسم اللاجئين الفلسطينيين والمؤسسات الفلسطينية الفاعلة في اليونان ومعنا القوى اليسارية والتقدمية اليونانية للمشاركة يوم الأربعاء القادم للاحتجاج امام السفارة الألمانية في اثينا للتنديد بقرار البرلمان الألماني الذي يجرم حركة المقاطعة وسحب الاستثمارات والعقوبات ضد إسرائيل وبعتبرها حركة معادية “للسامية”. في الواقع، هذا القرار هو ليس الا هجوم عنصري من قبل الحكومة الالمانية على الشعب الفلسطيني وحقه في المقاومة من اجل التحرر من الاستعمار الصهيوني والغربي.

ان الحملة ضد حركة المقاطعة BDS تم دفعها من قبل اليمين المتطرف الصهيوني إلى ألمانيا. تماماً كما تقوم ألمانيا بتطبيق سياسات عنصرية ضد “اللاجئين” وتمعن في إفقار الشعب اليونان عبر هيمتنها على الاقتصاد الوطني، تقف الدولة الألمانية اليوم كما دائما مع الاحتلال والقمع والفصل العنصري والاستعمار في فلسطين. لذلك ان من واجبنا ان نقف إلى جانب الشعب الفلسطيني وندين هذا الهجوم الإمبريالي الألماني على حقوق الشعب الفلسطيني على ارض فلسطين كاملة من البحر الى النهر.
