Who will stop Israel?
19 dead and 1500 wounded in a massacre in Gaza

The Day of the Land on 30 March is an annual commemoration and protest in Palestine against the expropriation of Arab land by the Israeli state. On 30 March 1976, six Palestinians were shot dead as they participated in a general strike by Palestinian citizens of Israel against the seizure and expropriation of their land by the Israeli state.

Tens of thousands of protesters rallied in Gaza on 30 March this year in a mass rally for the right of return of Palestinian refugees, the Great March of Return. Over 70 percent of the Palestinian population in Gaza are refugees who have been denied the right to return to their homes, lands and villages for 70 years.

And again, the Israeli state revealed its nature: soldiers shot and killed 19 protesters and injured over 1500!

The international community must finally put pressure on Israel to recognize international law and Palestinian self-determination. This means:
– the end of the occupation and colonization of Palestine and the demolition of the apartheid wall
– the legal equality of the Palestinian citizens of Israel with their Jewish fellow citizens
– the recognition of Palestinian refugees’ right to return to their homeland under UN resolution 194 of 1948.

19 Tote und 1500 Verletzte bei Karfreitags-Massaker in Gaza

Kundgebung am Samstag, 07. April 2018 ab 14 Uhr auf dem Bonner Münsterplatz

Der Tag des Bodens am 30. März ist ein jährlicher Gedenk- und Protesttag in Palästina, der sich gegen die Landenteignung der arabischen Bevölkerung durch Israel richtet. Am 30. März 1976 wurden sechs Palä­sti­nen­ser erschossen, als sich die palästinensische Bevölkerung Israels mit einem Generalstreik gegen die Be­schlag­nahme und Enteignung ihres Landes durch den israelischen Staat zur Wehr setzte.

Auch in diesem Jahr er­hoben sich am 30. März in Gaza wieder Zehn­­tau­sende von De­mon­­strant­en in einem Massen­­marsch, der an diesen Tag das Recht auf Rück­kehr der pa­lä­sti­­nen­sischen Flücht­­­­­linge in den Mit­tel­punkt stellte – der Große Marsch der Rück­­kehr.

Und wieder einmal of­fen­­barte der isra­eli­sche Staat seine Natur: Soldaten er­schossen 19 Demon­stran­ten und verletzten mehr als 1500!

Über 70 Prozent der palästinensischen Bevölkerung in Gaza sind Flüchtlinge, denen das Recht auf Rückkehr in ihre Heimat, ihr Land und ihre Dörfer seit 70 Jahren verweigert wird. Nach Angaben von Badil (Resource Center for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights) gibt es heute weltweit 7,1 Millionen palästinensische Flüchtlinge. http://www.badil.org/en/

Welchen Ausweg kann es aus dieser uner­träg­lichen Lage geben? Israel als Besat­zungs­macht muss durch inter­nationalen Druck, wie z.B. Sanktionen dazu gebracht werden, das Recht des palästinensischen Volkes auf Selbst­be­stim­mung anzu­er­ken­nen und die Bestimmungen des Völker­rechts zu akzeptieren.

Dies bedeutet:

– das Ende der Besetzung und der Kolonialisierung Palästinas und der Abriss der Apartheidmauer

– die rechtliche Gleichstellung der palästinensischen Bürger Israels mit ihren jüdischen Mitbürgern

– die Anerkennung des Rechts der palästinensischen Flüchtlinge auf die Rückkehr in ihre Heimat gemäß dem UN-Beschluss 194 von 1948.

Various coalitions have called for this mobilization and will be rallying together in Union Square! The texts of the calls are below:

The NY4Palestine coalition calls on all of its allies and supporters of Palestinian liberation to mobilize tomorrow and join us as we rally for Gaza. Since tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza marched to the border last Friday on Land Day to erect tent cities and launch a 6 week protest leading up to Nakba Day dubbed the #GreatMarchOfReturn, 20 Palestinians have been martyred by occupation forces, with 1500 more injured, 800 by live ammunition.

As the protests enter there second week, the urgency to organize, resist, and fight for Palestine is greater than ever.

All out tomorrow as we rally in support of the heroic Palestinians in Gaza and throughout historic Palestine participating in the #GreatReturnMarch and honor the martyrs who gave their lives fighting for liberation and return!

Where: 14 st Union Square
When: Tomorrow, Friday April 6th at 5pm

**

Join us to show solidarity with the tens of thousands of Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip carrying out the historic #GreatReturnMarch and to mourn the 20 Palestinians shot and killed by Israeli forces along the border.

On Friday, March 30 an estimated 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza took part in the Great March of Return along the electric fence that has kept more than 2 million people imprisoned for more than a decade. The march, organized by a cross section of civil society, grassroots activists, and political factions in the occupied enclave, called for an end of the Gaza’s brutal siege and the right of return for Palestinian refugees. Conditions in Gaza are currently “unlivable,” as described by the UN, with severe electricity shortages and water contamination, on top of periodic military assaults by Israeli forces.

Israel reacted to families walking and chanting with a brutal show of force. Israeli snipers opened fire with live ammunition against the protestors and deployed tear gas against them by drones, killing at least 20 Palestinians and injuring more than 1,500, half of which were shot with live ammunition. The Israeli army claimed online on March 30 that, “Nothing was carried out uncontrolled; everything was accurate and measured, and we know where every bullet landed.”

And yet, tens of thousands of Palestinians remain steadfast. They aim to stay 45 days until May 15, the 70th anniversary of the “Nakba,” Arabic for “catastrophe,” when 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes for the creation of the state of Israel.

We condemn these killings. We mourn the 20 Palestinians killed. New York City stands with the tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza in this historic new wave of organizing and their quest to return home.

As Israeli snipers kill unarmed Palestinians in Gaza protesting 11 years of total blockade and 70 years of occupation, over 100 musicians, artists, writers, scholars, union members activists and 30 social justice organizations are calling on the Philadelphia Orchestra to CANCEL ITS ISRAEL TOUR!

Press Conference and Rally in front of the Kimmel Center

Despite Israel’s decades-long suppression of Palestinian voices and Palestinian human rights, the Philadelphia Orchestra plans to perform in Israel in June, claiming that their performance in Israel is “cultural diplomacy,” not “a political mission.” Their statement is undermined by their own admission that the trip is “in celebration of its [Israel’s] 70th anniversary” and by their close collaboration with Israeli government officials, before the trip and in the planned itinerary.

Palestinian civil society, inspired by the global cultural boycott that helped end Apartheid in South Africa, has called on international cultural institutions not to perform in Israel as a popular non-violent means of helping to end Israel’s illegal occupation and apartheid policies.

You can add your name/organization on a letter to Philadelphia Orchestra at Phillybds.org, demanding:

Philadelphia Orchestra: DON’T PLAY WITH ISRAELI APARTHEID!

Gaza is the world’s largest open-air prison, where nearly 2 million people are kept under siege, denied the right to medical care, education, drinking water and electricity. Most people in Gaza are the children and grandchildren of refugees driven off their land a few miles away, in what are now Israeli cities and resort towns like Tel Aviv and Herzliya.

The current protests against Israeli-imposed dire conditions and 70 years of theft of land by Zionist settlers have led to shockingly excessive force, outright assassinations resulting in 18 deaths and many scores of injuries to Palestinians.

Israel receives more than $3 billion in annual direct military aid from the US, nearly three times as much as the next highest recipient, and billions more by other means. That is why we demand:

On the current struggle of the revolutionary Palestinian liberation movement, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and why revolutionaries support the worldwide boycott campaign, BDS.

Speaker: Khaled Barakat (Palestinian writer, of the Campaign to Free Ahmad Sa’adat)

With a slideshow and screening of clips from “Roadmap to Apartheid”

“Wherever there is colonialism, oppression and violence, resistance will gain strength. You are resisting. You are the voice of those who resist colonialism. I greet you on behalf of the fighting Palestinian people.” (Leila Khaled, HDP Congress in Ankara, 11th March 2018)

“Refusing to buy products in a store or cancelling a corporate contract will not liberate Palestine. Nothing but the Palestinian struggle and resistance in all of its forms, from refusing the orders of an occupation soldier to marching in protests to armed struggle, will liberate Palestine. But the international movement of people of conscience can help significantly to change the balance of power in favour of the Palestinian people to achieve justice, despite a powerful opponent.” (Leila Khaled, BDS South Africa Tour, 2015)

Um die internationale BDS-Kampagne (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) zu diffamieren, wird immer wieder eine Unterwanderung durch Revolutionäre wie der PFLP oder „linksradikale Anarcho-Kommunist_innen aus Europa“ herbeifabuliert.

■ Doch wer ist die 1968 gegründete revolutionäre linke Befreiungsbewegung PFLP und was macht sie aktuell?
■ Und was bringt es, eine eher bürgerliche Boykott-Kampagne zu unterstützen?
■ Um was geht es bei den aktuellen BDS-Kampagnen?
