Saturday, 17 November 2:30 pm Place Saint-Michel Paris, France
Despite « cease-fire » announcements, a Palestinian fisherman was killed by Israel on Wednesday, and the whole population is still behind barbed wire.
We want the end of the massacres and the end of the siege of Gaza. We want freedom for all Palestinians and the implementation of all their rights.
We will demonstrate on Saturday with the association Salam for Yemen (Peace for Yemen) to ask our French government to stop arming Saudi Arabia that massacres the Yemeni population.

Nous vous appelons à nous rejoindre nombreux ce samedi 17 novembre place Saint-Michel à Paris, pour exiger que cessent définitivement les massacres contre la population palestinienne et que soit levé le siège barbare de Gaza, maintenu par Israël et par l’Egypte, avec la collaboration de nos gouvernants.
Netanyahou s’est permis d’annoncer, pendant le “Sommet de la Paix” à Paris, dimanche dernier, alors que nous manifestions Place de la République contre la guerre, qu’il n’y avait “pas d’options diplomatiques” pour Gaza, comparant les 2 millions de femmes, d’hommes et d’enfants qui y sont incarcérés à Daech.
Il a quitté ce sommet pendant que des raids aériens et terrestres israéliens se déchainaient contre la population Gazaouie, tuant plus de 10 Palestiniens, détruisant des immeubles d’habitations, un jardin d’enfant et la télévision de Gaza.
Macron, qui avait convoqué ce Forum de la Paix, n’a pas prononcé la moindre protestation contre ces attaques israéliennes, pas plus que les autres chefs de guerre réunis à son initiative le 11 novembre.
Maintenant, il est question d’un “cessez le feu”, déjà rompu par Israël qui a tué un pêcheur palestinien mercredi.
Non seulement on sait ce que valent les “cessez le feu” israéliens, mais il n’est aucunement question dans ces annonces de rendre leur liberté ni leurs terres aux Palestiniens, en Cisjordanie, à Jérusalem Est, et encore moins à Gaza où ils restent derrière des barbelés, sans possibilité de sortir, de se soigner, privés d’eau potable et d’électricité.
Nous protesterons avec l’association Salam For Yemen (La Paix Pour le Yemen) qui sera présente avec nous pour soutenir les droits des Palestiniens et exiger que le gouvernement français cesse d’armer l’Arabie Saoudite qui massacre la population yemenite.
Friday, 16 November 4:00 pm Brandenburger Tor/Pariser Platz Berlin, Germany
Join Arab and Palestinian community organizations in Berlin for a demonstration outside the U.S. embassy in the center of the city in support of the Great Return March in Gaza.
We stand united in condemning Israel’s breach of ceasefire and terrorist attacks against Gaza. The attacks resulted in the death of at least 13 Palestinians, injured at least 20, and destroyed 7 buildings (4 of which were apartment complexes, causing hundreds of people to lose their homes). Israel has once again shown that it is a rogue terrorist state that does not care about international law, ceasefires, or human rights with their latest execution of brutal carnage.
This terrorism is largely funded by the US State as well as US academic institutions like #BinghamtonUniversity investing and collaborating with Israeli academia responsible for creating the weapons used in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Join us this Friday, November 16th in front of the Pegasus Statue as we rally to bring light to this atrocity and the overall conditions of Gaza in an environment deeply saturated with Zionist normalization.
Honour our fallen comrades in Gaza and bring an end to Binghamton’s ties to Israel!
“Imprisoning a Generation” is a documentary film which follows the stories of four young Palestinians who have been detained and imprisoned under the Israeli military system. Their perspectives, along with the voices of their families, form a lens into the entangled structures of oppression that expand well beyond the prison walls.
Following the film, MECA Director Zeiad Abbas Shamrouch will give a brief update about Palestinian children being detained under house arrest.
Israel has ignored the ceasefire agreement it has been discussing with Hamas and has invaded Gaza killing at least eight Palestinian Resistance fighters and bombed residential areas. Oppose British support for Israel support the Palestinian peoples fight for self determination.
This Saturday in Bay Ridge at 2pm, stand with NY4Palestine to honor our martyrs in Gaza, and condemn israeli terror against the Palestinian people. We are gathering in the Palestinian community to uplift the legacy of our people who continue to be murdered and forced to live without dignity. From those killed in the Great return March, to israeli raids, to air strikes, Palestinians are being killed in all forms of resistance, and even when they are at home. Demand an end to israeli impunity and US tax dollars that fund the IDF in committing genocide against the Palestinian people.
Join Within Our Lifetime (WOL) after the rally to discuss how we can continue to organize for dignity, liberation, and return in Palestine. WOL’s weekly dabke classes will continue as planned, cultural resistance is also part of the struggle.
Wednesday, 14 November 7:30 pm Placa Sant Jaume Barcelona
Boycott Israel! Stop Apartheid against the Palestinian People!
Israel, which has maintained a blockade of Gaza since 2006, has been bombing, asassinating Palestinians and destroying buildings for days, including homes and universities.
We call for isolation and boycott of the Israeli apartheid regime until it respects the rights of the Palestinian people. It is necessary to stop the sale of weapons to Israel and apply a military embargo. We must end complicity with colonization, occupation and Israeli apartheid.
Join us at Placa Sant Jaume, Barcelona at 7:30 pm to demand an end to the bombing of Gaza!
Long live free Palestine!
Israel, que manté un bloqueig a Gaza desde l’any 2006, porta dies bombardejant; assassinant palestines i destruïnt edificis, entre ells cases i Universitats.
Demanem que s’aïlli i es boicotegi el règim d’apartheid israelià fins que es respectin els drets del poble palestí. Cal que s’aturi la venta i compra d’armes a Israel i s’apliqui un embargament militar. Cal acabar la complicitat amb la colonització, l’ocupació i l’apartheid israelià.
Demà us esperem a totes a Plaça Sant Jaume, Barcelona ales 19.30h per demanar que s’acabin els bombardejos a Gaza!
Note: Just moments ago, the Palestinian Resistance announced the successful conclusion of a ceasefire brokered by Egypt. We urge all supporters of Palestine to continue to plan events and actions to support the Palestinian struggle. We know all too well that Israel regularly violates its ceasefires and vigilance is always necessary. We salute the steadfastness and strength of the people and their heroic, brave resistance, which secured this ceasefire today and continues to break the siege and fight for freedom. Towards victory for Palestine!
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network urges all supporters of Palestinian liberation to stand with Palestinians in Gaza under Israeli attack and support the Palestinian resistance struggling for return and liberation.
In the past two days, Israeli occupation forces have engaged in repeated attacks on Palestinians in Gaza, bombing Al-Aqsa TV as it broadcasted, the University College of Applied Sciences and residential buildings. The latest attack on Gaza – following the wars of 2009, 2012 and 2014 and the murder of hundreds in the Great March of Return – began after an Israeli special forces group attempted to infiltrate the Gaza Strip to near Khan Younis. There, they were discovered and confronted by the Palestinian resistance.
The gang of heavily armed, disguised occupation soldiers opened fire on Palestinian resistance leader Nour Barakeh, a commander in the Al-Qassam Brigades who had come to confront the infiltrators. Reports indicate that the occupation military forces had been sent to kidnap or kill Barakeh before they were discovered by the Palestinian resistance.
F-16s, drones and Israeli military hardware took to the air over Khan Younis, striking the city 40 times in an attempt to allow the Israeli forces to escape. Still, Barakeh and his fellow resistance fighters refused to stop chasing the infiltrating soldiers’ van. Barakeh, 37, was killed as they opened fire, and resistance fighters killed one Israeli soldier. The occupation forces also shot dead Naji Abu Khater, 21; Mohammed Majid Moussa al-Qara, 23; Alaa al-Din Mohammed Qwaider, 22; Mustafa Hassan Mohammed Abu Odeh, 21; Mahmoud Attallah Musabeh 25, and Alaa Fawzi Mohammed Fseifes, 19.
On Monday, occupation forces targeted two strugglers of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Mohammed al-Tatari, 27, and Mohammed Odeh, 22, striking them down as they fought to defend Palestine. The PFLP issued a statement urging action to support Palestinians under attack, declaring:
“Palestinians in Gaza are not alone! And they must not be left alone. This attack is not only carried out by the Israeli occupation alone, but by the imperialist powers like the United States, France and Britain that arm and support the settler colonial racist state to the hilt. The reactionary Arab regimes that plot how to dismantle Palestinian rights and existence while raining destruction and death on Yemen are also complicit in this onslaught.
Now is the time to act. Take to the streets and the squares, organize, demonstrate, protest and mobilize to stand with the Palestinian people in Gaza under attack, yet who continue to resist despite all odds. Build the boycott of Israel and confront imperialism everywhere it exists. Stand with the Palestinian people, the Palestinian resistance and the Palestinian cause – the struggle for return and the fight for liberation, from the river to the sea!”
Four more Palestinians were killed by the occupation forces between Monday night and Tuesday morning: Hamad Mohammed al-Nahhal, 23; Mousa Iyad Abdel-Aal, 22; Khaled Riyad al-Sultan, 26; and Musab al-Hoss, 20.
The Palestinian resistance has refused to give ground to the occupation attacks. Instead, it is continuing to fight back and display its increased capabilities to struggle against one of the most heavily armed forces in the world. It faces a settler colonial power that uses its assaults on Palestinians as a means to market its weapons of warfare, surveillance and repression around the world.
When resistance fighters targeted a soldiers’ military transport vehicle, striking it just as the occupation forces evacuated, Israeli officials attempted to lie to the world. They presented their military vehicle involved directly in the killings in Gaza as a “commuter bus.” In fact, some have speculated that the massive bombing of Al-Aqsa TV was a failed attempt to prevent Palestinian footage from reaching the airwaves. The attack failed, however, as the station resumed broadcasting only minutes later.
These attacks do not come from nowhere, of course; they are a clear continuation of the ongoing and brutal assault on the Great March of Return, in which tens of thousands of Palestinians have participated. Despite sniper fire taking the lives of over 200 Palestinians as they marched in popular demonstrations to the colonially imposed “border” or armistice line, marchers have continued to return each Friday. They demand an end to the 11-year-long siege on Gaza and, most fundamentally, their right to return home to Palestine.
Over 70 percent of the 2 million people in Gaza are Palestinian refugees, denied their right to return home by Zionist settler colonial occupation for over 70 years. Despite years of siege and hardship that has meant environmental devastation, health crisis, a lack of electricity and increased unemployment, impoverishment and devastation, Palestinians in Gaza have refused to give up their rights or their resistance. The Palestinian masses have confronted attempts to liquidate the Palestinian cause backed by the world’s most powerful imperialist forces and reactionary Arab regimes by returning the focus to their fundamental rights, the core of the cause: the return of the refugees and the liberation of the land of Palestine.
In addition, these occupation attacks clearly evidence the climate of international impunity and support for Israeli war crimes fostered by United States, French, British, German and other imperialist support. While reactionary Arab regimes in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and others push for normalization with the Zionist project, the Palestinian resistance continues to stand on the front lines against the colonial onslaught.
We must not be silent in the face of these latest Israeli attacks on Palestinians in Gaza. We remember Mohammed al-Tatari, Nour Barakeh, Mohammed Odeh, Naji Abu Khater, Mohammed al-Qara, Alaa al-Din Qaider, Mustafa Abu Odeh, Mahmoud Musabeh, Alaa Fseifes, Hamad al-Nahhal, Mousa Abdel-Aal, Khaled al-Sultan, Musab al-Hoss and all of the strugglers that have fallen in 100 years of struggle for a free Palestine. Their lives and their blood must not be lost in vain, as they leave behind families, children, loved ones and lives full of potential and love for their land and people.
The Palestinian resistance and the Palestinian people are on the front lines of defense against racism, colonialism and imperialism, defending their land and struggling for liberation for all of Palestine, from the river to the sea.
We urge supporters of Palestine and the Palestinian people to organize and take action:
1.Organize protests and demonstrations against the bombing of Gaza. Call for a military embargo on Israel and support for Palestinian rights and freedom. Protests are already being organized around the world – use the form below, email us at samidoun@samidoun.net or contact us on Facebook to add your protest to our growing list! You can find Israeli consulates and embassies in your city at the following link: https://embassy.goabroad.com/embassies-of/israelPosters and materials can be downloaded for use at your actions.
2. Call your government officials and tell them to stop supporting Israel and justifying Israeli war crimes. Instead, they should be imposing a military embargo on Israel. Use the following numbers to send a message to your government to end its complicity and participation in the bombs falling on Gaza:
Call during your country’s regular office hours:
Australian Minister of Foreign Affairs Marise Payne: + 61 2 6277 7500
Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland: +1-613-992-5234
European Union Commissioner Federica Mogherini: +32 (0) 2 29 53516
New Zealand Minister of Foreign Affairs Winston Peters: +64 4 439 8000
United Kingdom Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt: +44 20 7008 1500

3. Boycott, Divest and Sanction! Hold Israel accountable for its violations of international law. Don’t buy Israeli goods, and campaign to end investments in corporations that profit from the occupation. Large corporations are deeply involved in Israel’s ongoing massacres of protesters in Gaza. Ford Motor Company produces trucks later modified by Elbit Systems as autonomous unmanned vehicles to remotely fire on Palestinians. HSBC Bank finances Israeli military corporations, including Elbit Systems, while Hewlett-Packard (HP) Enterprise contracts with the Israeli navy to “virtualize” its operations, including the sea blockade of Gaza.

LIST OF EVENTS
* Please note, the following list contains only street actions. There are many important lectures and presentations – see our calendar for details!
Israel’s fanatic prime minister Netanyahu has paraded and used Netta Barzilai, with her full agreement, as “the best ambassador of Israel.”
Netta Barzilai has willingly placed her music in the hands of the far-right Israeli government. It is using her as a propaganda tool to distract attention from Israel’s attacks on Palestinian artists and cultural centers, its illegal settlements pushing Palestinian families off their land and its racist apartheid regime that denies Palestinians their basic human rights.
Palestinian artists and cultural associations are calling for a boycott of Israeli institutions and state representatives due to their complicity in Israel’s oppression, colonization and apartheid
As groups opposed to racism and oppression, we are calling for a boycott of Netta Barzilai’s shows in Europe [or city name] due to her active and conscious role as a cultural ambassador for Israel’s regime of military occupation and apartheid against the Palestinian people.
● On May 14, the day Israel massacred 62 Palestinians in Gaza, including six children, Netta Barzilai performed a government-hosted celebratory concert in Tel Aviv, and said, “We have a reason to be happy.”
● Barzilai performs at Israeli government-sponsored Pride events, contributing to the Israeli government’s pinkwashing agenda, the cynical use of LGBT rights to mask its ongoing denial of Palestinian human rights.
● Barzilai performed at the birthday party for US billionaire Sheldon Adelson, fanatic anti-Palestinian supporter of far right governments, from Israel’s to the Trump administration, who has made the racist and dehumanizing claim that “Palestinians are an invented people.”
#DontToyWithApartheid!
Take a stand against racism and oppression. Boycott shows by Israeli Apartheid Ambassador Netta Barzilai.

Netta Barzilai: Botschafterin für israelische Apartheid
Israels fanatischer Premierminister Netanyahu hat Netta Barzilai, mit ihrer vollen Zustimmung, als “beste Botschafterin Israels” vorgeführt und benutzt.
Netta Barzilai hat ihre Musik gerne in die Hände der rechtsextremen israelischen Regierung gelegt. Sie dient als Propagandainstrument, um die Aufmerksamkeit von Israels Angriffen auf palästinensische Künstler*innen und Kulturzentren abzulenken, von ihren illegalen Siedlungen, durch die palästinensische Familien von ihrem Land vertrieben werden, und von ihrem rassistischen Apartheid-Regime, das den Palästinenser*innen ihre grundlegenden Menschenrechte verweigert.
Palästinensische Künstler*innen und Kulturverbände fordern einen Boykott israelischer Institutionen und Staatsrepräsentant*innen wegen ihrer Mitwirkung an Israels Politik der Unterdrückung, Kolonisierung und Apartheid.
Als Gruppen, die Rassismus und Unterdrückung bekämpfen, fordern wir einen Boykott von Netta Barzilais Show in Berlin aufgrund ihrer aktiven und wissentlichen Rolle als Kulturbotschafterin für Israels Regime der militärischen Besatzung und Apartheid gegen das palästinensische Volk.
● Am 14. Mai, dem Tag, an dem Israel in Gaza 62 Palästinenser*innen, darunter sechs Kinder, massakriert hat, gab Netta Barzilai in Tel Aviv ein von der Regierung veranstaltetes Festkonzert in Tel Aviv und sagte: “Wir haben Grund zur Freude.”
● Barzilai tritt bei von der israelischen Regierung gesponserten Pride Events auf und beteiligt sich am Pinkwashing-Programm der israelischen Regierung, der zynischen Nutzung von LGBT-Rechten, um die anhaltende Leugnung der palästinensischen Menschenrechte zu verdecken.
● Barzilai trat bei der Geburtstagsfeier für den US-Milliardär Sheldon Adelson auf, einem fanatischen anti-palästinensischen Unterstützer rechtsextremer Regierungen, von der israelischen bis zur Trump-Regierung, der die rassistische und entmenschlichende Behauptung aufgestellt hat, dass “Palästinenser*innen ein erfundenes Volk sind”.
#DontToyWithApartheid!
Bezieht Stellung gegen Rassismus und Unterdrückung. Boykottiert Auftritte der israelischen Apartheid-Botschafterin Netta Barzilai.
