Trump Means War

On November 11, 2018, France will commemorate the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day, the end of World War I, an event at which Trump will be Macron’s honored guest. Extending such an invitation to the man who is waging war against us all is an insult that we refuse to accept.

Trump is the escalation of the “war on terror”, which has already resulted in the death of millions. The refugees and migrants fleeing the resulting conflagrations have been denied their human rights. In Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, the greater Middle East, and Africa, Trump and Macron beat the drums of war together. In the United States, children are imprisoned and separated from their families. Their only crime: being migrants. In France, Macron has refused to welcome refugees from the Aquarius, and the European Union has required border countries to set up centers for “sorting” migrants.

Macron’s invitation bolsters the imperialistic and military ties among the US, France, and the whole of the EU. Trump has demanded that UE members and NATO massively increase military spending. Macron has announced an increase of 30% for France, while simultaneously slashing funds for social programs. This means less money for health care, education, families, and accessible housing: a blatant disregard for people’s basic needs!

Trump is the living and breathing incarnation of sexism, homophobia, and xenophobia. He is waging war on us all. His and his administration’s crimes against women are innumerable. He actively promotes discrimination and violence against the LGBTQIA+ community. He openly fosters hatred and violence towards people of color, Muslims, and people with disabilities. We stand together to reject his divisiveness!

Trump is waging war on the Earth itself. Since 2017, he has ended the moratorium on coal mining on US federal land and Native American lands. He has reopened the coasts to oil and gas exploration and drilling. And these are just a paltry few of his crimes against the planet. Thanks to Macron and the EU, glyphosate has not been banned, there is oil exploration off French Guiana’s coast, and aging nuclear power plants will be renewed instead of scrapped.

To commemorate the end of the First World War, Macron will honor the war machine that sent millions to the slaughter. Macron has invited Trump to participate in a solemn moment intended to remember the sacrifices of these soldiers. The two will then participate in the Paris “Peace” Forum. For Trump and Macron, peace actually means war.

We invite all people, political organizations, workers’ unions, and non-profit groups to join us to protest this celebration of war on November 11, 2018.

Appel à Manifester contre la venue de Trump à Paris, le dimanche 11 Novembre 2018 :

Trump, c’est la guerre

Trump est l’invité d’honneur de Macron aux cérémonies du 11 Novembre 2018. Comment supporter la présence de l’homme politique qui fait la guerre contre tout.e.s ?

Trump, c’est l’intensification de la « guerre contre le terrorisme » qui a déjà fait des millions de morts. Les réfugié·e·s et les migrant·e·s fuyant ces mêmes guerres voient leurs droits humains niés. En Palestine, en Iraq, en Syrie, au Yémen, au Moyen Orient et en Afrique, l’alliance de Trump et Macron c’est la guerre. Aux USA, des enfants sont emprisonnés et séparés de leurs familles pour le seul « crime » d’être migrants. En France, Macron refuse d’accueillir les réfugié·e·s à bord de l’Aquarius et l’UE impose des ‘centres de tri’ aux pays frontaliers.

Cette invitation de Macron renforce l’entente martiale et impériale entre les États Unis, la France et l’Union Européenne toute entière. Trump exige une hausse massive des budgets militaires des pays de l’UE et de l’OTAN. Déjà, Macron a annoncé une augmentation du budget militaire de 30%, alors que les budgets sociaux sont drastiquement réduits. Ce qui se traduit et se traduira nécessairement par une réduction des budgets disponibles pour la santé, l’éducation, la famille, l’accessibilité des logements, c’est-à-dire pour les besoins de la vie !

Trump, c’est le pire du sexisme, de l’homophobie et de la xénophobie.

C’est la guerre contre tout.e.s. Il a commis un nombre incalculable de crimes contre les femmes. C’est la discrimination et les violences contre la communauté LGBTQIA+. C’est la haine et les violences contre les personnes racisées, les musulman·e·s et toute minorité visible. Nous rejetons les politiques qui nous divisent !

Trump c’est la guerre contre notre planète.

Depuis 2017, il a déjà révoqué le gel sur les autorisations d’extraction du charbon des terres fédérales et indigènes et l’interdiction sur l’exploration et le forage côtier pour le pétrole et le gaz naturel, parmi d’autres crimes contre notre planète. Macron et l’UE valident l’autorisation du glyphosate, le forage pétrolier au large des côtes de la Guyane et les centrales nucléaires vieillissantes.

Pour les 100 ans de la fin de la première guerre mondiale, Macron commencera par rendre hommage aux maréchaux qui ont envoyé des millions de soldats à l’abattoir. Il associe Trump à l’hommage aux soldats morts, pour finalement organiser un « Forum de Paris sur la Paix ».

Pour Trump et Macron, la paix c’est la guerre.

Nous invitons toutes personnes, organisations politiques, syndicales et associatives à se joindre à cet appel et à :

– participer au meeting « Trump c’est la guerre » qui aura lieu le mercredi 31 octobre à 18h30 à la Bourse du Travail de Paris (85 rue Charlot, Métro République) salle Eugène Hénaff.

– et venir manifester contre la célébration de la guerre ce 11 novembre, 14h à place de la République.

For four years, Saudi Arabia and its allies have been bombarding one of the poorest countries in the world, making no distinction between civilian and military targets, resulting in the massacre of thousands of Yemenis, many of them children. Today the situation of Yemenis is one of the most serious, as famine rages amid silence and complicity of the largest international powers, giving Saudi Arabia a sense of impunity. Join us to denounce this injustice and make your voice heard at this rally outside the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Brussels to support the Yemeni people.

Depuis quatre ans, l’Arabie saoudite et ses alliés bombardent sans cesse l’un des pays le plus pauvre au monde, en ne faisant aucune distinction entre cible militaire et civile, provoquant ainsi le massacre de milliers de yéménites dont un grand nombre d’enfants. Aujourd’hui la situation des yéménites est l’une des plus graves, où la famine fait rage, et tout cela dans le silence et la complicité de la majorité des puissances internationales, donnant un sentiment d’impunité à l’Arabie saoudite. Vous voulez dénoncer cette injustice et faire entendre votre voix . Rejoignez notre rassemblement devant l’ambassade d’Arabie Saoudite de Bruxelles afin de rendre hommage et de soutenir le peuple Yéménite qui pâtit de la politique saoudienne. Il est grand temps de faire entre notre voix.
* Où ? Devant l’ambassade d’Arabie Saoudite (Avenue Roosevelt, 45, 1050 BXL) tout près de l’ULB.
* Quand ? Le samedi 10 novembre à 14h

Higher education and research in Palestine face many challenges from the ongoing occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. In fact Palestinian scientists have to work under restrictions on mobility of students and academics, international isolation, raids, and forced closures of Palestinian universities.

Despite these challenges, interest in science education and research in Palestine continues to grow rapidly. Over 25% of the population of 18-24 year olds enrolled in university and half the students are women, a ratio among one of the highest in the world. Several Palestinian universities rank highly among the universities in the region, including An-Najah University, Al-Quds University, Birzeit University, and the Arab American University Jenin, in the West Bank, and in Gaza, Al-Azhar University, Al-Aqsa University, and the Islamic University of Gaza.

Scientists for Palestine, along other organizations endorsing the event, will host a roundtable discussion to understand the circumstances faced by Palestinian academics, and scientists in particular, and what we can do to help. Our main guest is Suleiman Baraka, renowned Palestinian astrophysicist, full professor at al-Aqsa University in Gaza City and currently Fulbright scholar at Virginia Tech. We will also attempt to established a remote connection with Palestine to hear a report by the Right to Education Campaign – Palestine حملة الحق في التعليم on the situation of the West Bank.

This is a public event which will open the weekend long Second International Meeting for Science in Palestine. The weekend activities are for registered participants only, if you would like to participate please fill out the application form goo.gl/u8tkGU. The application deadline is October 30th 2018.

Exhibition of walls – 9 November 2018

In solidarity with people who are directly affected by walls and as part of movements that pose justice, freedom and equality as their tools to resolve the problems of this planet, BDS Berlin joined the call for November 9 as a Global Day of Action for a #Worldwithoutwalls.

On numerous exhibition boards we point out that walls – visible ones, fallen walls, walls in our minds, political walls – consist not only of concrete, barbed wire, stones – they also manifest themselves in negotiations and conference results like that of Evian 1938, in institutions like FRONTEX, in “reception camps” in Africa, in regulations like Dublin III – walls built against refugees, people in need, the “others” in each case. #WorldwithoutWalls

Mauern-Ausstellung– 9. November 2018

In Solidarität mit Menschen, die direkt von Mauern betroffen sind und als Teil einer Bewegung, für die Gerechtigkeit, Freiheit und Gleichheit Wege zur Lösung der Probleme des Planeten sind, hat BDS Berlin sich dem Aufruf angeschlossen, den 9. November zum Weltweiten Aktionstag für eine Welt ohne Mauern / #WorlwithoutWalls zu erklären.

Auf zahlreichen Ausstellungstafeln weisen wir darauf hin, dass Mauern – sichtlich wahrnehmbare, gestürzte Mauern, Mauern in den Köpfen, politische Mauern – nicht nur aus Beton, Stacheldraht, Steinen bestehen – sie manifestieren sich auch in Verhandlungen und Konferenzergebnissen wie dem von Evian 1938, in Institutionen wie FRONTEX, in “Auffanglagern” in Afrika, in Verordnungen wie Dublin III – Mauern, hochgezogen gegen Geflüchtete, Menschen in Not, die jeweils “Anderen”.

An Evening with Mohammad Sabaaneh, Palestinian Cartoonist and Graphic Artist. He is flying in from Palestine in Ramallah, Palestine, where he is the lead political cartoonist for the daily paper, Al-Hayat al-Jadida. The event at RB is part of a special 2 week US tour.

In 2013, Sabaaneh was detained by the Israelis for five months, spending much of it in solitary confinement. The situation inspired the creation of his first book of cartoons, “White And Black: Political Cartoons from Palestine,” published by Just World Books in 2017. The book won rave reviews from leading political cartoonists around the world including KAL of The Economist, Matt Wuerker of Politico, and Joe Sacco. Noted NYC artist Seth Tobocman has written the Foreward.

Mohammad is the Middle East representative of the Cartoonists Rights Network International. He has had solo and group exhibitions of his work in countries around the world. Last fall, he won the Medaille d’Or at the Marseille Cartooning Festival. He has been hailed by the UN’s Committee on Palestinian Rights as one of Palestine’s two best-ever cartoonists– along with the late Naji al-Ali, and was featured in the exhibition and gala they staged at UN headquarters in New York.

Proceeds from the event and donations will help defray costs of Mohammad Sabaaneh’s tour expenses.
