Last night have shown the result of the accumulation of anger of the youth who are the main victims of the COVID-19 pandemic and crisis. There is a much increase of unemployment which brought the increase of pressure on Palestinians in Jerusalem and the multiethnic cities within Israel, as well as the intensity of police brutality in order to suppress the rallies and other mobilisations. According to the latest information, 26 Turkish warplanes attacked Amûd and Geliyê Kersê of Şengal/Sinjar. The bombardment is still going on. It has been learned that prior to the aerial operation, communication networks had been completely cut in Dêrik and its surrounding areas. It’s the 24th day of ISIS attacks on Kobanê. While people’s defending forces in all border villages are on human shield sentry for Kobanê against attacks, everyone, everywhere in the region we live, rised up not to let Kobanê fall. [Français] [Italiano] The Turkish state that is preparing to interfere to avoid the ISIS danger, is at the same time neglecting the offensive made by ISIS supporters within its borders, showing its politics of hypocrisy. [Italiano] Istanbul anarchists along other leftists, feminists, and 'Gezi park types' have managed to cross over into Syria and the northern town of Kobane which is currently threatened by ISIS. [italiano]
Though Israel failed in its last open assault on the Gaza Strip, it still succeed in its transfer efforts. The drowning of a refugee ship with 450 mainly Gaza people reflect the partial success of Israel transfer efforts that for the never ended efforts since 1948. The siege on Gaza join the pressure on both Palestinians within the 1948 borders and that of the 1967. The big masses were driven out during the 1948 and 1967 wars, but efforts continued with all means possible. Some expelled by force some were moved within the border as pressure to "voluntary transfer". Within the 1967 borders, the Israeli efforts are targeted on the villages and Bedouins living in area C where the joint struggle to resist it is mainly focused in the South of Hebron Hills. And the joint struggle in Arkib, Dahamsh (1948 borders), and Bil'in, Ma'asara, Nabi Saleh, Ni'ilin, Qaddum, Sheikh Jarah (East Jerusalem) continue "as usual". [Italiano]
The turmoil in our region expresses the melting of world history as we knew it. It accelerates before it reaches its end as the axes of the old order cannot hold it any more. The Zionist settler colonialist bridgehead of the developed imperial countries in the cradle of human culture at the east of the Mediterranean Sea is being eroded by the resistance of the indigenous inhabitants who are recruiting supporters from all over the world. The cracks in neoliberal global capitalism, which seemed to have reached its ultimate victory just a few years ago when the end of history was declared, are pointing to the real end of the history of egoistic and alienated class society. In the day-to-day struggle here, it is still hard to discern the cracks in the structure of the system, but you can already smell it in the clouds of tear gas at the weekly demos and feel the ground tremor under your feet. [Italiano]
There are four main areas of struggles the AAtW activists are involved with: Joint struggle with communities that invite us to join, like Bil'in and other struggles against the separation fence. Other joint struggles against occupation and settler colonialists like Nabi Salih. Joint struggles with wider coalitions like the Sheikh Jarrah coalition and South Hebron. The fourth is within Israel, like prison and jail solidarity, Al Araqeeb and Lod. It seems that our confrontational and direct-action mode of struggle is being adopted by more and more Israeli radicals.

The Melbourne Anarchist Communist Group’s solution to the oppression of the Palestinians is the same as for oppression everywhere. The problems of capitalism can only be solved by workers’ revolution.In Palestine, that means defeating Zionism and replacing it with the No State Solution, a society of libertarian communism that operates on the basis of consistent federalism.
Turkey’s attack on Rojava forced the SDF to choose between its own survival and protecting Kurdish territories, putting the future of the revolution at risk.
The announcement of Trump that the US would immediately stop aerial bombardments and withdraw their diplomatic personnel, while their troops would all withdraw within 3 months, officially signalled the end of the Syrian war, a war which has been portrayed as a “civil war” but one in which all of the world participated. While major powers, such as Russia, France, the UK, and the US, and regional powers such as Iran, Israel and Turkey participated directly, they had their Syrian proxies to fight against one another. The conflict, in the first place, wouldn’t have erupted without the decisive funding and support given by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Turkey and Jordan to a frightful collection of armed jihadist lunatics.
As everyone watches in horror and disbelief the unparalleled Saudi atrocities in Yemen and the unspeakable barbaric assassination of the journalist Jamal Kashoggi, the Saudi royals are increasingly isolated in the world. However, in the Middle East, they have made new friends: the Kurdish of Syria.
This article is a brief analysing of the future of Rojava in Syria in Line with the attack of Assad’s forces on Idlib’s Province . The battle of Idlib can be a crucial one for all sides who are involve especially for the regime and the Kurdish in Rojava . There are few scenarios that the Kurdish forces there and its self rule administration are facing . There is also a strong possibility after this battle the Kurdish question there can be on the top of Assad and Russia’s agenda to be resolved either way. more >>
Embargo, cutting off water sources and air strikes against civilians have been some of the war crimes committed by the fascist Turkish state throughout this year against the revolution in Rojava.
The UCL participated in the European delegation to observe the Turkish war crimes in Iraqi Kurdistan.
We – nearly 150 politicians, human rights advocates, journalists, academics, members of parliaments, political activists, ecologists, and feminists from all over Europe – have been closely following the dangerous developments resulting from Turkey’s attacks on South Kurdistan (North Iraq) since the 23rd of April 2021. As a result, we have gathered in Erbil today and decided that we must speak out.
Only solidarity between the oppressed people of Palestine and the working classes of the world can end the occupation. We call on the international anarchist movement and all working-class rebels to join us in denouncing the Israeli occupation of Palestine and supporting resistance to it.
The support and solidarity with innocent people can be done in different ways. It can be through launching complaints, expressing anger and frustration, protests, and demonstrations. The best kind of support and solidarity is boycotting all the goods that are made in Turkey and by Turkish companies wherever they are. Boycotting its media, universities, language colleges and stopping holiday bookings to Turkey. While Turkey has got so many interests in Iraqi Kurdistan the boycott is very effective. Turkey has hundreds of companies plus colleges, shops, factories there, and it is the main country for Kurdish holiday makers. In short Iraqi Kurdistan is one of the main market for the Turkish capitalists and the others. Boycotting Turkey and the Turkish goods can also put pressure on the Kurdistan Reginal Government, KRG, Iraq and the foreign companies to meet people’s demand. more >> |

Spring zu Komment: 1 2 3 4Without wishing to criticise or take away from the action in any way, since when has a plain and simple protest or demonstration become a "direct action". Surely this use of the expression only demeans and hides its original sense. Or are we destined to lose this term as well as the many others we have been forced to drop throughout the decades (party, vanguard, communist, power...)?

[Translators note: In my view direct action is an appropriate designation for this because it is in agreement with the concept. Not done through representatives, but my the people themselves.
It was an act of disobedience and they new that it would end up in arrests. In our point of view it was not illegal, but in the point of view of the police it was. ]

Acção directa de protesto
- Jonathan Polak: "Isto é uma guerra deliberada"
12 activistas foram presos na manifestção em frente da base da força aérea.
Cerca de 25 activistas colocaram-se na Terça (8 de Agosto) frente à base de Ramat David com dísticos onde estava escrito: "parem de matar civis", "parem os crimes de guerra". Apelaram para cessar-fogo imediato e para a libertação de todos os prisioneiros de guerra.
A polícia veio e prendeu 12 activistas. Hagay Matar: "a partir desta base voam diariamente pilotos que assassinam civis inocentes. Em vez de prender os criminosos de guerra a polícia decidiu nos transformar em criminosos, a nós, que protestamos." [Hagai e outros 4 foram sentenciados a mais de
dois anos de prisão e cumpriam penas até há um ano atrás por recusarem servir os 3 anos de serviço obrigatório no exército de Israel, a que os maiores de 18 anos quase todos estão sujeitos]
A manifestação não possuía autorização e a polícia prendeu os 12 com acusação de perturbação da ordem pública, obstruir o tráfego e manifestação ilegal.
Um dos que foram presos, Jonathan Polak, disse à YNET que esta manif. junto da base aérea era porque: "esta base é responsável por crimes de guerra - aviões que descolam desta base deitam bombas sobre civis". Ele
acrescentou: "de acordo com a lei devemos parar este crime de guerra, senão seremos considerados cúmplices deste"
Ele também declarou que a guerra no Líbano é uma guerra deliberada que
tem de ser parada. "Isto é uma guerra deliberada que não tem conexão com o
rapto dos dois soldados ou com esforços para os libertar; esta guerra é parte dos esforços para redesenhar o Médio Oriente".
Hagai Matar, activista do comité contra os crimes de guerra disse:
"Viemos para bloquear os crimes de guerra cometidos quotidianamente a partir deste local pelos pilotos que assassinam civis inocentes e destroem as infra-estruturas. Nós somos totalmente contra se cause danos aos civis de ambos os lados. O exército de Israel vai para uma guerra que também nos está a causar dano - à sociedade israelita." Matar explicou em relação às prisões: "deitámo-nos sobre a estrada, bloqueando a entrada da base.
Quando a polícia veio dissémos para prenderem os criminosos de guerra,
mas eles escolheram transformar-nos em criminosos e prenderam-nos"
A polícia informou que eles seriam mantidos presos até serem ouvidos
por um juiz.

Demonstration is one thing.
Vigil is another.
Blocking road to an airfield by lying down on it seems to me to be a direct action. (according to another media report, the action was organized by the Anarchists Against The Wall, and the road was blocked for 20 to 30 minutes.
