5 June, Chicago: Protest Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer in Chicago!

On June 5, three weeks after Israel’s massacre of unarmed Palestinian protesters in Gaza, Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer is coming to Chicago as part of a damage control P.R. tour.

With the Trump administration’s recent embassy move, and the hesitation of so many elected officials–especially U.S. Senators from Illinois Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth–to directly condemn the Israeli killings of Palestinians in Gaza, it’s more clear than ever that the struggle for justice for Palestinians will be won through grassroots pressure.

Join us June 5th – the 51st Anniversary of the Occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and Jerusalem – to make sure Ron Dermer can deliver a clear message to Netanyahu: the movement for Palestinian rights and Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions is growing in Chicago and throughout the U.S.

Join us to demand an end to the Blockade and Killings in Gaza, and the Occupation of the West Bank and Jerusalem; support for the Right of Return for Palestinians to the lands from which they were expelled in 1948 and since; equal rights for Palestinian citizens of Israel; and that Trump reverse his decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

4 June, Berlin: Netanyahu Not Welcome, Freedom for Palestine!

On Monday Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister and elader of the right wing nationalist government of Israel is coming to Berlin to meet Angela Merkel.

Netanyahu is coming to advertise to end the nuclear agreement with Iran. He is coming to secure the German governments support or at least “neutrality” in case of a war with Iran.

Netanyahu is generally coming to secure military, economic and political support and cooperation with the German government. A help that the Israelis state uses to brutally oppress the Palestinian people as could be seen in the past weeks in the assaults on the Great March of Return and the Gaza Flottila.

We clearly state “Netanyahu, You are not welcome in Berlin!” You are just welcome in a prison cell, in which you should sit for the crimes of your government.

We say “Stop all supplies of military equipement, Stop all support for the Israeli government and the Israeli state by the German government!”

Am Montag kommt Netanyahu, der israelische Ministerpräsident und Führer der rechts-nationalistischen Regierung Israels nach Berlin, um Angela Merkel zu treffen.

Netanjahu kommt, um gegen das Atomabkommen mit dem Iran zu werben. Er kommt, um sich der Unterstützung oder zumindest der “Neutralität” der deutschen Regierung in einem Krieg gegen den Iran zu versichern.

Netanjahu kommt auch, um sich ganz allgemein der weiteren militärischen, wirtschaftlichen und politischen Hilfe und Kooperation der deutschen Regierung zu versichern. Eine Hilfe, die der israelische Staat zur brutalen Unterdrückung der PalästinenserInnen, wie in den vergangenen Wochen gegen den March of Return oder die Gaza Flottila nutzt.

Wir sagen deutlich “Netanjahu, du bist in Berlin nicht willkommen!” Du bist nur willkommen in einer Gefängniszelle, in der du für die Verbrechen deiner Regierung sitzen solltest.

Wir sagen deutlich “Schluss mit allen Waffenlieferungen, Schluss mit jeglicher Unterstützung der israelischen Regierung und des israelischen Staates durch die deutsche Regierung!”

يوم الاثنين ، سيأتي نتنياهو ، رئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي وزعيم حكومة اليمين الإسرائيلي ، إلى برلين للقاء أنجيلا ميركل.

هو آت ليضمن لنفسه بشكل عام المزيد من المساعدات والتعاون العسكري والاقتصادي والسياسي الألماني. تلك المساعدات التي تستخدمها الدولة الصهيونية لقمع الفلسطينيين بوحشية ، كما في الأسابيع الأخيرة ضد مسيرة العودة و ضد “غزة فلوتلا”.

نقول بوضوح “نتنياهو ، أنت غير مرحب بك في برلين!” أنت مرحب بك فقط في زنزانة السجن حيث مقامك لجرائم حكومتك.

نقول بوضوح “أوقفوا كل شحنات الأسلحة ، و أوقفوا أي دعم للحكومة الصهيونية والدولة الصهيونية من قبل الحكومة الألمانية!”
فلسطين ستنتصر

5 June, NYC: Naksa 51 – By Land and by Sea, We Will Return

Tuesday, 5 June
6:00 pm
72nd St and 5th Avenue
Bay Ridge
Brooklyn, NY

ALL OUT ON JUNE 5TH – IN COMMEMORATION OF AL-NAKSA AND IN SUPPORT OF THE GREAT RETURN MARCH! BY SEA, BY LAND, FROM DIASPORA, WE WILL RETURN

Join Within Our Lifetime | United For Palestine on 72nd Street and 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge as we commemorate 51 years since al-Naksa. On June 5th, 1967, following the conclusion of a six day war that Israel started, Israel took control of the West Bank and Gaza, the 22% of Palestinian land it had failed to capture in 1948. Israel razed to the ground countless homes and villages, and 400,000 Palestinians were added to the nearly million refugees displaced during the Nakba. Approximately half of these Palestinians were being displaced for the second time in less than 20 years. As we pass the 70th anniversary of the Nakba, and 51 years since the Naksa, we acknowledge this ethnic cleansing campaign continues to this day, as the Zionist state guns down Palestinian protestors partaking in the Great March of Return, demanding an end to the siege of Gaza and the right to return to their homes. As Israel continues its genocidal campaign, we continue our resistance. Earlier this week, the bravery and resiliency of the Palestinian people was exemplified by those in the Great March of Return who heroically broke Israel’s siege of Gaza by boat in the Freedom Brigade.

Palestinians will return to our homes, villages, and land! Let us join to make our voices heard from New York City to Gaza, for all of historic Palestine, until liberation.

After the rally, we will be hosting a community iftar. Location to be announced!

5 June, Berlin: Solidarity with Gulaferit Unsal, Political Prisoner

Tuesday, 5 June
7:00 pm
K9 Größenwahn & Leichtsinn
Kinzigstrasse 9

Berlin, Germany
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1720907814652853/

Discussion with Gulaferit Unsal and fellow activists on the subject of political imprisonment and the use of Section 129 a/b to repress political movements.

This event will work to mobilize solidarity with political prisoners who, even after their “release” from confinement, are not really free. Solidarity after detention is just as necessary as solidarity during detention.

During her imprisonment, we stood in solidarity with the prisoner Gulaferit and now it is our duty to stand in solidarity with the person Gulaferit.

The international part of the discussion will include Charlotte Kates, the coordinator of Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network,

Freedom for all political prisoners!

Podiumsdisskusion mit Gülaferit Ünsal und mit Aktivist*innen zum Thema politischer Haft und zu den Dimensionen des §129a/b.

Diese Veranstaltung ist eine Mobilisierungsveranstaltung für weitere Aktionen, um solidarische Menschen darauf aufmerksam zu machen, dass politische Gefangene, auch nach ihrer “Entlassung”, nicht wirklich frei sind. Die Solidarität nach der Haft ist genau so notwendig, wie die während der Haft.

Während der Haft haben wir uns mit der Gefangenin Gülaferit solidarisiert und nun ist es unsere Pflicht uns mit dem Menschen Gülaferit zu solidarisiern.

Der Internatinale Teil übernimmt die koordinatorin des
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network

2 June, Durban: Solidarity March for Palestine

Saturday, 2 June
1:00 pm
March from Alpine Road to Felix Dlalimi Road
Ending rally at Overport Secondary School
Durban, South Africa

People Against Oppression comprising of a range of KZN civil society organisations is hosting a Palestine Solidarity Protest March and Rally on Saturday 2 June 2018 in Durban.

The protest is in solidarity with the Palestinian people who have experienced yet another brutal attack in their 70th year under occupation and dispossession. The ambitious dream of negotiations and peaceful dialogue have long since evaporated.

It is now up to the international community to take the cause to new heights and further sanction Apartheid Israel. While the world looks to Mandela’s nation and the success story that is South Africa, our country’s citizens continue the struggle for liberation in Palestine and other countries such as Sri Lanka.

Among the guests attending will be Reverend Ntuthuko Nkosi -spokesperson of Kairos Palestine Southern Africa and Bishop Rubin Phillip – Anglican Diocese of Natal.
