Palestinian youth in Gaza organize joint action, symbolic street renaming for Georges Abdallah

24 October 2015

Palestinian youth in Gaza and French anti-imperialist activists have joined together in a campaign demanding freedom for Georges Abdallah, a Lebanese Arab struggler for Palestine imprisoned in French prison for 32 years.

The Palestinian Progressive Youth Union and Coup Pour Coup 31, an anti-imperialist collective in France, are joining together for an action to rename Charles De Gaulle Street in Gaza City to Georges Ibrahim Abdallah Street, in honor of the imprisoned struggler and to protest his continued imprisonment by the French state.

This event took place on Saturday, October 24 at 11:00 am in Gaza, beginning with a march from Beirut Street in Gaza City, in order to place a sign symbolically identifying the street as Georges Ibrahim Abdallah Street.

This event is taking place simultaneously with the national march in France to Lannemezan prison, demanding Abdallah’s freedom. It also comes after an event in Toulouse, France in solidarity with this action in Gaza, symbolically renaming Charles De Gaulle Square in honor of Georges Ibrahim Abdallah.

The PPYU and Coup Pour Coup issued a joint statement on the occasion:

For over thirty years, France has imprisoned the struggling Arab comrade Georges Abdallah, despite continuous calls by political forces and activists for freedom demanding his release. France has refused to release him, in cooperation with U.S. imperialist and Zionist demands.

Coup Pour Coup 31, an anti-imperialist collective, and the Palestinian Progressive Youth Union affirm that Georges Abdallah is an activist fighting for the values of freedom, justice and humanity, against the crimes committed by imperialism and Zionism. Georges Abdallah is part of the history of the Palestinian struggle against Zionist occupation; this is why his continued imprisonment exposes the true face of imperialism and French pseudo-democracy.

In support of the imprisoned struggler Georges Abdallah and in response to the international week of solidarity with the prisoners organized by the International Campaign to Free Ahmad Sa’adat and the Campaign to Free Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, October 17-24, it was decided to rename “Charles de Gaulle Street” in Gaza to “Georges Abdallah Street.”

This is a symbolic action, with the primary objective of shedding light on the case of Georges Abdallah and attracting the attention of the French public to this issue. Georges Abdallah is a symbol of Arab and internationalist struggle, and it is only just to place his name on streets and places in Palestine, especially in Gaza. This action comes in unity with the demonstration in Lannemezan, France.

In this context, we, the Union of Progressive Palestinian Youth and Coup Pour Coup 31, affirm the following:

1. Renaming Georges Abdallah Street is a symbolic act that aims to send a strong message from the Gaza Strip to France for the immediate release of Georges Abdallah.

2. This action affirms the unity of the struggle of the Palestinian people and those fighting for freedom around the world against imperialism, including in France.

3. Coup Pour Coup 31 takes this opportunity to salute the Palestinian people and express its continued support for the just struggle for liberation and an end to Zionism. The Progressive Palestinian Youth Union in turn thanks Coup Pour Coup 31 for their efforts to support the Palestinian people and their just cause, especially the prisoners and in particular Georges Abdallah, and to stand firm despite pressure by the French government.

4. Coordination between Coup Pour Coup 31 and all Palestinian progressive and revolutionary forces, and with Arab and internationalist organizations will continue and will not cease.

5. We will continue our struggle and coordination side by side with the Palestinian, Arab and international revolutionary and progressive forces to fight imperialism and Zionism and continually pressure the French government until Georges Abdallah is released.

6. We must organize the broadest possible campaign of support and popular pressure on the French government to immediately release Georges Abdallah.

Palestinian youth and students in Gaza: Free Georges Ibrahim Abdallah!

24 October 2015

The following statement was issued by the Progressive Palestinian Youth Union and the Progressive Student Action Front in the Gaza Strip, Palestine, urging international action to free Georges Ibrahim Abdallah:

The French state persists in its imprisonment of Arab struggler, Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, in its jails for over 30 years, refusing to release him despite a prior decision of French courts to do so.

The Palestinian Progressive Youth Union and the Progressive Student Labor Front consider the continued imprisonment of Georges Ibrahim Abdallah as a disgrace on the French state, revealing the ugly face of imperialism to the world as a permanent partner of Zionism, continuing to commit crimes against the Palestinian people and the people of the region with a full sanction, green light and absolute support from world imperialist powers.

Despite the cruelty and the development of events and conditions inside our occupied homeland, the bleeding wounds of Palestine, this will not prevent us from continuing our support with the imprisoned Arab and internationalist struggler Georges Abdallah, and organizing events and actions to pressure France for his release, as a fighter for freedom and justice and for the liberation of peoples and the end of occupation and oppression. His case is inseparable from the cause of the Palestinian people.

In this context, we, in the Palestinian Progressive Youth Union and the Progressive Student Labor Front, emphasize the following:

1. We are continuing our preparations for solidarity actions with the struggler Georges Abdallah, with the particular goal to change the name of Charles De Gaulle Street in Gaza City, to Georges Abdallah Street, in order to send a message to the French state that the struggler Georges Abdallah is a symbol of Arab and international struggle, who deserves to have his name on the streets and squares of Palestine, especially in the Gaza Strip.

2. We emphasize the inherent value of the imprisoned radical revolutionary struggler Georges Ibrahim Abdallah’s consistent support for the resistance of our people against the Zionist entity. The struggle against imperialism and Zionism is one and indivisible.

3. We direct our salutes to the international solidarity campaigns to free Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, Ahmad Sa’adat and Khalida Jarrar, and also to Coup Pour Coup 31, the anti-imperialist collective in France which is playing a leading role in organizing events in France to free Georges Abdallah, as well as the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, and the Handala Center of Prisoners and Released Prisoners, and all of the comrades, solidarity groups, popular organizations and activists around the world who are taking up these campaigns.

4. We reaffirm the unity and cohesion of the struggle against imperialism, including the issue of the imprisoned freedom fighter Georges Abdallah, and the struggle of the Palestinian people against Zionism.

NYC, 23 October: Stand with Ahmad Sa’adat, Georges Abdallah, and all Palestinian Prisoners

4:00 PM
G4S NYC – 19 W. 44th St, New York, NY
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/890345407718301/

Protest the New York office of Zionist prison and occupation contractor G4S! Boycott, divest from and sanction the Zionist state and its collaborators! Stand with the Palestinian prisoners, the Palestinian people and the Palestinian Resistance!

Join the Campaign to Free Ahmad Sa’adat‘s week of action (http://bit.ly/1G2bBHi), the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement‘s wave of solidarity (http://bit.ly/1hRQwDM), and the global campaign to Stop G4S (http://bit.ly/1SVB2ue, bit.ly/1DYVKIy).

Today, in Palestine, the Palestinian people are rising up, marching, demanding justice and an end to the settlements, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid that has ravaged their land. The Zionist state is repressing Palestinians with massive brutality: shooting down Palestinian youths in murderous extrajudicial assassinations, rounding up demonstrators in mass arrests, closing Jerusalem’s Old City to Palestinians, attacking Al-Aqsa Mosque with invasions and burnings, and sending mobs of settler colonists to attack Palestinian villages. Hundreds of Palestinians have been wounded with US-made and funded tear gas and bullets in the past several days.

From inside the prison walls to the streets of Jerusalem, Nablus, Al-Khalil, Tulkarem, Nazareth, Palestinians are resisting. Zionist occupation forces are waging a campaign of terror, arrest and assassination as well as the demolition of the family homes of Palestinian resisters and martyrs, while the bodies of slain Palestinian youth are being held hostage by the Zionist state.

Amid the rising in Palestine, we stand with the Palestinian prisoners, the Palestinian people and the Palestinian Resistance! The Campaign to Free Ahmad Sa’adat urges the widest international participation in a Week of Action for Freedom for Palestine and its imprisoned leaders of the Resistance.

The Zionist state has announced its intention to intensify the use of administrative detention in an attempt to silence the Palestinian masses on the streets. Inside the prisons, Palestinian prisoners are daily stripped of their most basic natural and human rights, facing brutality and oppression.

Thousands of the leaders and resisters of the Palestinian people are held captive in Zionist jails. Ahmad Sa’adat – the General Secretary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – is one of these Palestinian national leaders, alongside his comrades of resistance.

As Palestine and the Palestinian people are under attack, the imperialist and colonialist states: the United States, Canada, Australia and European governments – continue to arm, support and empower the Zionist project in Palestine and its attacks on the Palestinian people. We see this in the case of Rasmea Odeh, who will bring her appeal to a US court on October 14 after years of persecution. Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, Lebanese Arab communist struggler for the liberation of Palestine, has been imprisoned in French jails for 32 years, an anniversary marked on October 24 with an international day of action and a massive national march to the prison in Lannemezan, France where he is held.

On this week of action, we demand freedom for Ahmad Sa’adat, for Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, for all Palestinian prisoners and prisoners for Palestine! We stand with the Palestinian masses rising up throughout Palestine, and the Palestinian communities in diaspora and revolutionary and anti-imperialist movements around the world who are rising up for liberation!

It is also critical to build the boycott and international isolation of the Zionist state on all levels and the corporations that are deeply involved in sustaining its repression, in particular the British-Danish security company G4S, that provides control rooms and security systems for the prisons where Palestinian prisoners – children, adults, elders, leaders, organizers – are held.

18 October, NYC: Solidarity with the Palestinian Uprising – Counter-Protest

16 October 2015

Sunday, 18 October
5:00 PM
Times Square, NYC
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1509792672665088/

In the past few weeks over 30 Palestinians have been killed and more than 600 wounded in acts of IDF/settler agression in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza.

BRING A PALESTINIAN FLAG AND A KEFFIYEH WITH YOU. We will make Times Square a SEA of Palestinian flags to show the zionists how many stand with our cause.

In response to the justified uprising of the Palestinian people, Zionist activists have chosen to organize a ‘Jewish Lives Matter’ rally in Times Square this Sunday, October 18th at 5:00pm. They will be wearing blue and white to represent Israel, as well as IDF t-shirts. Besides the fact that they are appropriating the black liberation movement by hijacking the slogan Black Lives Matter, they are holding a moment of silence for murdered israelis without regard for the disproportionate violence and death experienced by the Palestinians every day.

They are glorifying the terrorist organization of the IDF, who are responsible for the torture and murder of Palestinian civilians. In the past week, over 20 Palestinian youth have been murdered by settlers, many of which have graphic video evidence being taunted by and mutilated by israeli settlers during and after death. Where is their moment of silence? This Sunday, we stand against outrageous number Palestinian children and civilians that have been murdered by those belonging to the same Zionist group as those gathering in Times Square on this day. We stand against ‘Israels right to defend’ itself against innocent children and civilians who clearly pose no threat. We stand in solidarity with the movement for Palestinian liberation from 60+ years of Zionist occupation, violence, and settler-colonialism. We stand in retaliation to the appropriation of the black liberation movement. We stand against Zionist repression, and racist Zionist ideology that weighs israeli deaths as warranting more outrage than that of Palestinians, when Palestinian deaths are greater in number and weaker in justification. Bring keffiyehs, flags, signs and join us on this day.

Join us loudly in proclaiming that Resistance is not Terrorism, Occupation and Colonialism are Terrorism!

Take Action: Rise Up with Palestine! Global Protest Actions

15 October 2015

Organizers around the world are organizing events, actions and protests to confront Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, and to support the growing popular uprising in the streets across historic Palestine. Some of these actions are being organized as part of the BDS National Committee’s call for a Solidarity Wave (with a list of protests); many are being organized and led by Palestinians in exile and diaspora around the world; and many reflect the youth leadership powering this Palestinian upsurge. These also include events organized as part of the Week of Action to Free Ahmad Sa’adat, Georges Abdallah and all Palestinian Prisoners, and the International Day of Action for Georges Ibrahim Abdallah. Events are also being organized as part of the Palestinian Youth Movement call to action – also see PYM’s google map for more events (including film screenings, discussions and other non-demonstration events)

To include your local action on this list, email samidoun@samidoun.net. (Previous protests listed at bottom of the page.)

New Video: Leila Khaled urges freedom for Georges Abdallah

15 October 2015

Leila Khaled, historic figure of the Palestinian resistance and current leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, left-wing Palestinian political party, has delivered a solidarity message to activists in France and around the world demanding the release of Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, the Lebanese Arab struggler for Palestine who has been imprisoned in French prison since 1984, despite being eligible for release since 1999.

The video was presented by anti-imperialist collective Coup Pour Coup 31, which is involved in efforts to organize international events on 24 October calling for Abdallah’s freedom, as well as an annual march outside Lannemezan prison, where Abdallah is held.

Text of Leila Khaled’s greeting, in English:

Comrades and friends, sisters and brothers, on behalf of my people, on behalf of my party, the Popular Front for the Liberation (PFLP), and myself, I extend warm greetings to all of you in this event. I am privileged to speak to you and through you, to Georges Abdallah, who is a symbol of freedom fighters against oppression, occupation against imperialists, Zionists and reaction. While I am speaking to you, my people are facing the apartheid state of Israel that launches a brutal fascist attack against our people in Palestine.

Israel is trying to suppress our voices by one policy: killing, killing, and killing Palestinians – women, children and elders. Arresting more and more of the activists. Demolishing more houses. Confiscating more land. Building more settlements on our land and the new brutal means by burning people alive, as they did to the child Mohammed Abu Khdeir last year in Jerusalem, and lately, to the child Ali Dawabsheh and his family near Nablus, and his family.

Our people face and are still facing the Israeli army and the settlers to deal with them. It is our legal right and way to face the abuse artists of the 21st century. Comrades and friends in this occasion let me address my comrade Georges Abdallah through you. Comrade Georges, to us, to all progressive forces, you represent us all in your prison. You are a part of the prisoners movement against occupation and oppression everywhere in this world. Your comrades in the Zionist prisons look forward to your freedom as well to theirs. Comrade Ahmad Sa’adat sends you his warm greetings, with all prisoners. They look upon you as a great symbol for revolutionaries in this world. As we denounce the brutality of the Israeli policies against the prisoners, we also denounce the French government for its continuous attitude toward you being in jail. Yet, we are sure that you are more free than the French government and the judicial system in France.

This event and other events in Lebanon, Palestine and in different places show that you are not alone. We are with you, since 30 years. Comrades and friends, let’s all raise our voices for the freedom of Georges Abdallah and all political prisoners everywhere, in all jails in the world.

I am thankful to every one of you who gave me this opportunity to address you. The price of freedom is very expensive, yet Georges Abdallah chose to pay it. With our support and exposing those who put freedom fighters in prisons, irrespective of their reasons, we can free them at the end of the day. Let us learn from their patience and attitude. Let us all raise our call: Free Georges Abdallah! Free Ahmad Sa’adat! Free all political freedom fighters from imperialist and Zionist and reaction prisons. We shall overcome. Merci, shukran, thank you.

New Video: Black-Palestinian Solidarity highlights common struggles of Black and Palestinian peoples and movements

15 October 2015

Palestinian and Black activists have together launched Black-Palestinian Solidarity, a new video highlighting the voices of Black and Palestinian organizers, artists, writers, performers, scholars and leaders in confronting racism and oppression.

For full materials, statement and resources, please see:

Facebook: Black-Palestinian solidarity video

Website: http://bit.ly/BPSolidarity

Black-Palestinian solidarity is neither a guarantee nor a requirement – it is a choice. We choose to build with one another in a shoulder to shoulder struggle against state-sanctioned violence. A violence that is manifest in the speed of bullets and batons and tear gas that pierce our bodies. One that is latent in the edifice of law and concrete that work together to, physically and figuratively, cage us. We choose to join one another in resistance not because our struggles are the same but because we each struggle against the formidable forces of structural racism and the carceral and lethal technologies deployed to maintain them. This video intends to interrupt that process – to assert our humanity – and to stand together in an affirmation of life and a commitment to resistance. From Ferguson to Gaza, from Baltimore to Jerusalem, from Charleston to Bethlehem, we will be free.

The video features Ms. Lauryn Hill, Danny Glover, DAM, Omar Barghouti, Alice Walker, Angela Davis, Yousef Erakat, Annemarie Jacir, Boots Riley, Dr. Cornel West, and many others. It is a joint project of the Dream Defenders, Black Youth Project 100, the DC Palestinian Film and Arts Festival, the Institute for Middle East Understanding, Jewish Voice for Peace, and the Arab Studies Institute-Quilting Point Productions.

Moataz Zawahreh, Palestinian activist and brother of hunger striker, killed by Israeli forces, mourned by thousands

15 October 2015

Moataz Zawahreh, 27, Palestinian refugee and resident of Dheisheh refugee camp near Bethlehem was shot dead by a live bullet by Israeli occupation forces on 13 October as he participated in a mass youth protest at the entrance to Bethlehem, becoming the 29th Palestinian killed by Israeli forces since 2 October and the growing popular Palestinian uprising.

The Martyr Moataz Zawahreh was the younger brother of imprisoned Ghassan Zawahreh – and of several other Palestinian political prisoners – held under administrative detention, who just concluded a 40-day hunger strike to secure his release on 30 November, the Battle of Breaking the Chains.

Zawahreh was a local leader of Palestinian left-wing political party, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Ma’an News reported:

Zawahreh was killed during a lull in the clashes. At the time he was standing among a group of fellow protesters with nothing in his hands, and was much too far away to have been a threat to Israeli forces.

When Zawahreh was shot, the bullet went through his stomach and exited from his back….

Several friends who helped evacuate Zawahreh to the ambulance said he began singing a Palestinian fight song while they carried him. “The mother of the martyr don’t be sad, every Palestinian is your son,” he sang, according to the young men….

People who knew Zawahreh repeatedly highlighted his friendly character and political involvement.“His family are a very active family in his camp for PFLP,” al Qaisi said, pointing out that… Zawahreh’s brothers are currently in Israeli prisons. “He was a popular guy, everyone in the area knew him and had some kind of relationship with him.”

Thousands of Palestinians took to the streets to join Moataz’s funeral and honor the life of this struggler, pledging to continue on his path of struggle, the road of resistance and the growing popular uprising:

Rasmea Odeh’s lawyer argues strongly in appellate court

15 October 2015

Report from the Rasmea Defense Committee:

Appealing the November 2014 federal conviction of prominent Palestinian-American activist Rasmea Odeh, lead defense attorney Michael Deutsch gave a powerful oral argument in front of a panel of three judges—Alice Batchelder, Karen Moore, and John Rogers—in Cincinnati, at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6^th Circuit.

Hammering home the point that Rasmea never received a full and fair trial in Detroit last year, Deutsch deftly addressed the judges’ questions, and made a compelling argument that, at her trial for Unlawful Procurement of Naturalization, she should have been able to testify about her state of mind when she filled out her citizenship application in 2004.

The Department of Homeland Security arrested Odeh on October 22, 2013, and charged her for allegedly failing to disclose, in that application for U.S. citizenship, that she was arrested in Palestine in 1969 and tried in an Israeli military court that convicts 99.74% of Palestinians who come before it. Odeh’s conviction in Palestine in 1970 was based on a forced confession that was obtained after she was vicious ly tortured and sexually assaulted by the Israelis.

Odeh suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) because of this torture, which according to world renowned psychologist, Dr. Mary Fabri, caused her to suppress the horrible recollection of the arrest when she answered questions in the application. Fabri testified in a pre-trial hearing, prompting Judge Gershwin Drain to initially rule that she can testify at trial. But he almost immediately reversed himself after a prosecution filing, and ultimately disallowed any evidence about the rape and torture. Deutsch was convincing in his claims that this was a legal error, and that Rasmea must be afforded the chance to tell her story.

Prosecutor Jonathan Tukel, who supporters of Rasmea remember as the lawyer who tried to bully her during the trial, continued with his tired arguments, claiming that testimony from a psychologist should be inadmissible and could not stand up to scrutiny. The judges responded by pointing out that the legal precedent he was citing was an unpublished opinion, not any kind of legal precedent the court is bound to uphold.

Rasmea’s supporters were silently thrilled to watch the judges press Tukel, who was unable to offer any reason that she should not be entitled to have an expert testify in her defense. Instead, Judge Rogers’ remarks reinforced the idea that expert testimony could potentially establish reasonable doubt that Rasmea knowingly misled immigration officials.

Following the thirty-minute hearing, Rasmea, her attorneys, and her supporters joined a number of additional followers outside the courthouse for a rally featuring Deutsch, Frank Chapman of the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, Brian Taylor of Black Lives Matter Cincinnati, Jess Sundin of the Committee to Stop FBI Repression, and others. Visibly excited and motivated by what they had heard in the appellate court, the crowd of over 100 held posters, raised chants, and echoed Rasmea’s own determination to beat back this attack on her and on the Palestine liberation struggle.

Chapman, a veteran Black organizer who is extremely popular with Palestinians in Chicago, and who has traveled to almost all of Rasmea’s court appearances, said, “Make no mistake; this is a racist, political prosecution against Rasmea because she is a Palestinian who organizes for her people’s liberation.”

Deutsch thanked the crowd and explained how important it is to fill the courtroom. “It means a lot to Rasmea, and also shows the court that she is loved and respected,” he said.

He then answered questions about the appeals process, saying that a decision could be rendered between one and four months from now. If the court agrees with the defense and overturns the conviction and the sentencing, the case gets sent back to the prosecution to possibly re-file charges, whereupon the entire trial process begins anew. But this time, evidence of torture, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), etc., would be allowed into the courtroom. Also, the court, without reversing the conviction, could simply compel Judge Drain to allow for another evidentiary hearing with Dr. Fabri. Alternatively, if the court upholds the conviction but disagrees with the sentence, the appellate judges send new sentencing guidelines back to Drain for re-sentencing.

In the worst possible scenario, her conviction and sentencing would be upheld, meaning that she would have to serve 18 months in prison and then be deported. If this happens without the decision being unanimous, the defense could ask that all of the 6th Circuit appellate court judges, not just the three panelists, review the case. If this does not work, then a last ditch effort could be an attempt to appeal to the Supreme Court, which hears only 2% of cases filed.

The Rasmea Defense Committee organized two busloads of Chicagoans to Cincinnati, as well as dozens of other supporters from Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. We have succeeded in building a national movement to stand by Rasmea, to protest this attack on her, to stand with her at every court date, and to fully fund her defense. We call on everyone to continue supporting ourfundraising, organizing public events, and pitching Rasmea’s story to media across the country and the world.

There is still much more organizing to be done!
