Solidarity with Palestine has existed for a long time in Charleroi, organized by many associations and collectives.

Ten years ago, in January 2009, Plate-forme Charleroi-Palestine was formed in response to Israel’s massacres in Gaza.

Supported by the MOC and the FGTB, rallies and events were organized. The Plate-forme has tken shape and become a group of various associations and activists on the ground.

We will mark this anniversary with a friendly meal to support the activities of the Plate-Forme.

This is an opportunity to inform attendees of projects for 2019, but also to review the strongest actions of the past.

We will show videos of BDS and other actions (soon to be resumed!)

On the menu: Palestinian appetizers; couscous; birthday cakes

Tickets are 12 EUR (free for children under 6). Vegetarian and halal dishes will be available.

Save the date and reserve by messaging the Plate-Forme or calling 0473.28.63.75

La Plate-forme Charleroi-Palestine met les petits plats dans les grands et vous invite à son repas d’anniversaire.

La solidarité avec la Palestine existe de longue date à Charleroi. Elle était organisée par de nombreuses associations et collectifs.

Il y a 10 ans, au mois de janvier 2009, la Plate-forme Charleroi-Palestine a été formée en réaction aux massacres d’Israël dans la Bande de Gaza.

Épaulés par le MOC et la FGTB, des rassemblements et manifestations ont été organisés. La Plate-forme s’est structurée et est devenue un regroupement des diverses associations et militants déjà actifs auparavant sur le terrain.

Nous voulons marquer cet anniversaire avec un repas convivial et de soutien aux activités de la Plate-forme.

Ce sera évidemment l’occasion de vous parler de nos projets pour 2019, mais nous ferons aussi un retour dans le passé pour évoquer les actions les plus fortes.

Au programme : animation et ambiance

Thousands of people around the world come together to defend the Palestinian cause and call for liberation. The International Week of Solidarity with Ahmad Sa’adat and the Palestinian Prisoners is a call for support for the prisoners’ struggle for dignity and against the oppression committed by the Zionist state of Israel.

Al Janiah, as part of his duty to carry out the Palestinian struggle, has joined this global event that bears the name of Ahmad Sa’adat, leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and prominent figure of the international political left.

The event, which will include video presentations, will discuss the prospects for international struggle in this period of the growing threat ultra-right governments around the world, including in Brazil, with the Bolsonaro government.

WHEN: 22/1
TIME: 19H
ENTRY: Free

MEET THE SPEAKERS:

Cel. Adilson Paes – Policiais Antifascistas

Charlotte Kates – International coordinator of the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.

Khaled Barakat – Palestinian writer and activist in defense of free Palestine. He is the spokesperson for the International Campaign for the Liberation of Ahmad Sa’adat.

Marcelo Buzetto – MST and Global Campaign for Return to Palestine

Soraya Misleh – Palestinian-Brazilian, journalist and author of the book “Al Nakba – a study of the Palestinian catastrophe”

Representative of the MTST (Movement of the Homeless Workers)

WHAT DO WE HAVE TO SEE?

Brazil, under Bolsonaro’s government, is further tightening relations with the Zionist state of Israel. There have even been affirmations that the Brazilian embassy would be transferred to Jerusalem, following the earlier action of Donald Trump’s government in the United States.

However, the Palestinian resistance remains strong and alive, giving examples of steadfastness and resilience each day. All fighters for a better world must support this cause. We, Brazilians, with an ultra-right government that flirts with Zionism, have the duty to strengthen this struggle.

VIOLATIONS AGAINST PALESTINIANS:

It is estimated that there are 5,500 Palestinian prisoners held by the Israeli authorities. Among them are women and children who have not even had a trial.

Reports of torture and ill-treatment within the jails by the Israeli authorities are common. Now Israel’s far right, as represented by cabinet minister Gilad Erdan, is threatening to further harden repression within the prisons as a desperate measure to stifle Palestinian fighters.

Similarly, in Gaza and the West Bank, attacks and violations against the Palestinian Arab population continue, with residents facing a severe intensification of the occupation’s clearly racist laws.

Milhares de pessoas ao redor do mundo se unem por um grito de liberdade em defesa da causa Palestina. A Semana Internacional de Solidariedade a Ahmad Sa’adat e aos Presos Palestinos é um chamado de apoio contra a opressão cometida pelo estado sionista de Israel e à luta por dignidade.

O Al Janiah, no dever de levar adiante a luta palestina, faz parte deste evento global que leva o nome de Ahmad Sa’adat, líder da Frente Popular pela Libertação Palestina e figura proeminente da esquerda política internacional.

O evento, que terá participações online direto da Palestina, discutirá as perspectivas de luta internacional nesse período em que crescem os governos de ultra-direita pelo mundo, incluindo no Brasil, com o governo Bolsonaro.

O QUE TEMOS A VER?

O Brasil, sob governo de Bolsonaro, estreita ainda mais as relações com o estado sionista de Israel. Já houve, inclusive, afirmações de que a embaixada brasileira seria transferida para Jerusalém, seguindo os moldes da cartilha do governo de Donald Trump.

No entanto, a resistência palestina continua forte e viva, dando exemplos de superação a cada dia. Todos os lutadores por um mundo melhor devem somar a esta causa. Nós, brasileiros, com um governo de ultra-direita que flerta com o sionismo, temos o dever de fortalecemos essa luta.

VIOLAÇÕES CONTRA PALESTINOS:

Estima-se que existam 5.500 presos palestinos nas mãos das autoridades de Israel. Entre eles, mulheres e crianças que sequer tiveram julgamento.

São comuns os relatos de tortura e maus tratos dentro das cadeias, por parte das autoridades israelenses. Agora, a extrema direita de Israel, encarnada na figura do premier Gilad Erdan, está ameaçando endurecer ainda mais a repressão dentro das penitenciárias, como uma medida desesperada para sufocar os lutadores palestinos.

Da mesma forma, em Gaza e na Cisjordânia continuam as humilhações e a violência contra a população árabe palestina, com os moradores enfrentando um agravamento nas leis nitidamente racistas aplicadas na região.

Palestinian parliamentarian, feminist and leftist leader Khalida Jarrar is imprisoned without charge or trial by the Israeli occupation. Her “administrative detention” order was renewed for the fourth time on Thursday, October 25. Jarrar had already been jailed without charge or trial for 16 months. The new detention order once again renewed her imprisonment for four more.

Approximately 480 Palestinian prisoners are held under “administrative detention,” out of nearly 5,500 total Palestinian political prisoners. “Administrative detention” orders are indefinitely renewable. Palestinian prisoners have spent years at a time jailed through orders renewed repeatedly on the basis of so-called “secret files” to which both the detainees and their lawyers are denied access.

As the end of her latest detention order nears, stand with Jarrar to demand that Israel release her, other “administrative detainees” and all Palestinian prisoners.

Support the Palestinian national and prisoners’ movements, the Palestinian Resistance, and the liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea.

Meet on the steps of the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse at 9:30 am, then cross Centre Street to Foley Square at 10:00.

Let’s make 2019 the year of freedom for Georges Abdallah!

While our comrade Georges Abdallah has begun his 35th year of detention since last october, the voices and forces that are mobilizing to demand his release continue to grow today. This is taking place on the national and international level and is having a real impact. The official visit led by the Lebanese ambassador to our comrade last December at Lannemezan Prison is one of the signals of this change. By this, the State of Lebanon finally shows a new position on this political issue and expresses its willingness to respond to the demands of the international campaign for the release of Georges Abdallah, going so far as to want to demand the release of Georges Abdallah to the French state officially, notably during the French president’s visit to Lebanon in February 2019.

More than ever, the demand for the liberation of our comrade must be defended and reaffirmed. As Georges Abdallah himself notes, this cannot be done by begging for his freedom but by fighting and establishing a real change in the balance of power through militant actions everywhere and on all fronts. It is through this expansion of our actions that we will succeed in compelling the French State to free our comrade.

We call all those who are on the side of the struggling peoples, on the side of the Palestinian resistance, who are fighting against capitalism, imperialism, Zionism, state racism, colonialism and the reactionary Arab States, to form a unitary Front of Actions for the release of Georges Abdallah.

We note that this political prisoner, incarcerated since 1984, for alleged complicity in acts of resistance to the Zionist invasion of his country Lebanon, eligible for release since 1999, is kept in prison by order of the US government, despite two orders for release pronounced by the judiciary.

Let us recall that this revolutionary communist militant, throughout his incarceration, has never denied any of his anti-imperialist political commitment, which he still confirms today by his unwavering will and unwavering commitment to the just cause of the oppressed peoples of Palestine, Lebanon, and around the world.

The struggle for his liberation is also fully part of the broader struggle for the defense of all revolutionary political prisoners in the world. And it is in this context that our solidarity with the struggle of Georges Abdallah is also a fight against imperialism and for a free Palestine.

We call to continue and amplify the work already undertaken within the framework of the unitary campaign and it is on the basis of this call that we invite you to the meeting for the release of Georges Abdallah, Saturday 02 February 2019, at the CICP, in Paris. 18:00. 21, ter rue Voltaire – Paris, 11th – metro rue des Boulets (line 9)

It is together and only together that we will overcome!

Faisons de 2019 l’année de 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. La visite officielle menée par l’ambassadeur libanais à notre camarade, en décembre dernier, à la prison de Lannemezan est un des signaux de ce changement. Par-là, l’Etat du Liban montre enfin un nouveau positionnement dans ce dossier politique et exprime sa volonté de répondre aux exigences de la campagne internationale pour la libération de Georges Abdallah, en allant jusqu’à vouloir réclamer la libération de Georges Abdallah à l’Etat français, notamment lors de la visite du président français au Liban, en février 2019.

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 ainsi 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 juge 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 sa libération s’inscrit aussi 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 également s’affirmer notre solidarité au combat de Georges Abdallah, un combat de toute une vie, contre l’impérialisme et pour une Palestine libre.

Nous appelons à poursuivre et à amplifier le travail déjà engagé dans le cadre de la campagne unitaire et c’est sur la base de cet appel que nous vous invitons au

Meeting pour la libération de Georges Abdallah, samedi 02 février 2019, au C.I.C.P, à 18h00. 21, ter rue Voltaire – Paris, 11ème – métro rue des Boulets (ligne 9)

C’est ensemble et seulement ensemble que nous vaincrons !
