Free Palestine!

..more from Tsedek!

..this is the left today. an autonomous left and part of the uprisings. at the very least it's a positive perspective. 

quote:

Jews against Israeli apartheid – We are concerned to see that for many Jewish people, Judaism and Zionism are one and the same, that Jews and the state of Israel are one and the same. This articulation runs through all our spaces, be they family, community or institutional. For many Jews, calls for the liberation of Palestine are perceived as a threat to our security. We refuse to let the painful history of antisemitism be used to play with our people’s fears and legitimize a colonial enterprise that denies Palestinians their rights. On the contrary, like other Jewish anti-Zionist activists – in the past and present, from Israel and elsewhere  – we believe that the security of Jews, including Israelis, cannot be achieved through colonization and the oppression of the Palestinian people. We also know that colonization destroys settlers and their humanity. It exposes them to the situational violence of the colonized, as well as to that of their own system.

Tsedek! supports Palestinians in their struggle for freedom and rights, including through the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) campaign. As long as the « Jewish right to self-determination » is pursued to the detriment of Palestinians’ collective rights, it will not be legitimate, and we will not be able to achieve a just peace.

As French Jews, we are not responsible for Israeli policy, but it is carried out in our name. We therefore have a responsibility to change it. In solidarity with Jewish anti-racist, anti-occupation and anti-Zionist collectives around the world, as well as with Palestinian and Israeli groups, our struggle is not a solitary one. It is part of an international uprising.

Jews don’t think Judaism and Israel are one and the same. Anyone who thinks that obviously doesn’t understand either Judaism or Israel. People who don’t understand these kinds of basic facts have no way of understanding this conflict.

Turkey Restricts Exports to Israel to Protest Gaza Assault

Turkey has announced it will restrict exports to Israel until Israel declares a ceasefire in Gaza and allows in more aid. Israel blasted Turkey’s decision, accusing it of blackmail.

Exclusive: Google Workers Revolt Over $1.2 Billion Contract With Israel

In midtown Manhattan on March 4, Google’s managing director for Israel, Barak Regev, was addressing a conference promoting the Israeli tech industry when a member of the audience stood up in protest. “I am a Google Cloud software engineer, and I refuse to build technology that powers genocide, apartheid, or surveillance,” shouted the protester, wearing an orange t-shirt emblazoned with a white Google logo. “No tech for apartheid!” 

The Google worker, a 23-year-old software engineer named Eddie Hatfield, was booed by the audience and quickly bundled out of the room, a video of the event shows. After a pause, Regev addressed the act of protest. “One of the privileges of working in a company which represents democratic values is giving space for different opinions,” he told the crowd.

Three days later, Google fired Hatfield.

Hatfield is part of a growing movement inside Google that is calling on the company to drop Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion contract with Israel, jointly held with Amazon. The protest group, called No Tech for Apartheid, now has more than 200 Google employees closely involved in organizing, according to members, who say there are hundreds more workers sympathetic to their goals. TIME spoke to five current and five former Google workers for this story, many of whom described a growing sense of anger at the possibility of Google aiding Israel in its war in Gaza. Two of the former Google workers said they had resigned from Google in the last month in protest against Project Nimbus. These resignations, and Hatfield’s identity, have not previously been reported......

Columbia Protests Continue a Day After NYPD Arrests 100+, Dismantles Gaza Solidarity Encampment

Here in New York, riot police moved in on a peaceful student protest encampment, arresting at least 108 people. Columbia University President Minouche Shafik called the NYPD to clear the Gaza Solidarity Encampment on the campus’s South Lawn, where Columbia and Barnard students had set up one day earlier to demand university leadership divest from Israel. NYPD Chief John Chell said Shafik identified the demonstration as a “clear and present danger,” but that officers found the students to be peaceful and cooperative. Shafik warned all students participating in the encampment would be suspended. At least three suspensions of Barnard students were confirmed Thursday, including Isra Hirsi, daughter of Congressmember Ilhan Omar.

Columbia students and faculty members held a press conference Thursday evening. This is Palestinian American graduate student Layla Saliba, who has lost 14 family members in Gaza since October 7.

Layla Saliba: “Today was a dark day for freedom of speech on Columbia’s campus, because Columbia is showing that if you do not say — if you say something or do something that the university does not agree with, that they are willing to use violence towards you and that they are willing to endanger the health and safety and well-being of their students to protect their PR and their image. Right here we’ve got some riot cops. Look, right over there. They’re treating us like a national security threat simply for holding a press conference.”

Layla Saliba was also one of the Columbia students attacked in January’s chemical “skunk attack” during a campus rally.

Following the arrests, students continued to gather on campus, where large protests carried on through the night, and are ongoing.

Thursday’s showdown with the NYPD was the largest arrest on the Columbia campus since 1968, when police apprehended over 700 students protesting the school’s ties to the Vietnam War and Columbia’s plans to expand in Harlem by building a gymnasium in Morningside Park.

Hey NDPP, Justin wasn't too impressed with your protest.

Personally I think praising the rape and murder of Jews on October 7th is great optics. Really a true colours moment.

To be fair, those who are defending and enabling Israel's genocide of Palestinians have shown how far they are willing to go. Today Palestinians but they will eventually come for anyone who stands in their way.

Increasingly the growing demonstrations, protests and actions across Canada openly support Palestinian resistance and its victory. As do I. So should you.

They're simply becoming more honest with their desire to kill jews and destroy Israel.

Celebrating the rape and murder on October 7th is proof of that. Hell, most of the posters here either do their best to ignore the events of October 7th, or openly praise it as some sick form of resistance.

The last half year has very unfortunately shown us that even after thousands of years, it turns out antisemitism is still very much alive and kicking.

Natonazi supports zionazi Israel. Nor is the Palestinian resistance  exclusively Muslim.

The desire to dehumanize others by equating them with Nazis incites hatred, violence, harm, and death.
