Le caratteristiche della terza Intifada sono meno drammatiche delle due intifade precedenti. Almeno in questi primi passi, politici e giornalisti esitano nel dire che si tratti proprio di intifada. Dopo grandi riflessioni al riguardo sui media israeliani, abbiamo sentito dire una sera che "i segni dell'Intifada sono già qui". L'intensificazione della repressione delle forze di stato israeliane nella Cisgiordania occupata ed il loro appoggio al terrore dei coloni negli ultimi mesi, non era chiaro se avessero a che fare con le pre-elezioni o se si puntava a convertire una intifada disarmata in una intifada armata.

As the third Intifada character is less dramatic than the previous two. At least at the first years, politicians and media commentators hesitating to declare it as such. After more lot of pondering on the subjects in the Israeli media, we heard this evening a new tag: "the signs of Intifada are already here". The escalation of the suppression of the Israeli state forces in the occupied west bank and their backing of settler colonialist terror activities last months, was not clear if it is only pre election thing or is intended to convert the unarmed third Intifada into an armed one. The unarmed Intifada expand gradually with the solidarity with the hunger striking prisoners at its focus. To the older locations of Beit Ummar, Bil'in, Ma'asarah, Nabi Saleh, Ni'ilin, Qadum, Sheikh Jarah, and South of Hebron Hills, and south-west joined last weeks Jayyus and Jaffa.

The terrain is changing beneath our feet. Since the collapse of the majority of the “official communist” regimes, the world has witnessed both events and ideas that have undermined the former dominant thinking within the left. The Zapatistas, Argentina in 2001, South Korean workers movements, Oaxaca in 2006, the struggles around anti-globalization, and Greece’s series of insurrectionary moments have increasingly presented challenges to traditional left answers to movements and organization. In previous eras Marxist-Leninism was the nexus which all currents by default had to respond to either in agreement or critique. Today, increasingly anarchist practices and theory have come to play this role.

As a member of an anarchist political organization, a friend once told me I in fact was practicing democratic centralism. This was perplexing, because the group had no resembling structures, practices, or the associated behaviors of democratic centralism. However, I was told that since we debated, came to common decisions, and acted on that collective democracy, we were in fact democratic centralist. This kind of productive confusion led to questions about the concept, and why the target of democratic centralism has shifted. This move, the shifting conceptual territory of core concepts of a certain orthodoxy, comes up repeatedly not only with democratic centralism, but also surrounding ideas like crisis, dialectics, the State, and class. The resulting cognitive dissonance caused me to investigate attempts at reinvigorating the concept of democratic centralism (democratic centralist revisionism), and understand truly what it is, where it came from, and how it has been practiced. read full story / add a comment

Questa settimana la lotta unitaria si è intensificata con la protesta per la Morte di Mohammad Asfour che è morto dopo 2 settimane dallo sparo alla testa procuratogli dalle truppe israeliane nel corso di scontri per il sostegno ai prigionieri palestinesi. Man mano che la lotta si allarga crescono ben oltre le nostre capacità gli inviti ad azioni unitarie rivolte agli attivisti israeliani ed internazionali. Sebbene i media siano stati inondati dalla candidatura all'Oscar di "5 Broken Cameras" sulla lotta unitaria contro la recinzione della separazione a Bil'in, non si vede un'ondata di nuovi attivisti. A Giaffa (Tel Aviv) persiste il presidio quotidiano in piazza della torre dell'orologio in solidarietà con i prigionieri in sciopero della fame. [English] read full story / add a comment

All'indomani delle elezioni apparentemente più inutili della storia repubblicana, si aprono gli scenari più fantasiosi in un presente drammatico. Tutti si sono dimenticati del paese reale, quello delle fabbriche che continuano a chiudere, i bollettini ISTAT che parlano di un paese ormai alla canna del gas hanno assunto carattere di ritualità, i suicidi dei disoccupati e le stragi per finanziamenti negati sono in cronaca. Gli attori sociali tacciono, i media cicalecciano in attesa di capire quale coniglio uscirà dal cappello istituzionale. read full story / add a comment

Sebbene la tolleranza delle potenze imperialiste nei confronti della repressione israeliana e degli sgomberi si stia affievolendo, Israele risponde con sprezzante disagio. Tutto il mondo e noi stessi che ci stiamo dentro siamo in attesa di vedere se c'è veramente un cambiamento nel blocco di potere all'interno dell'elite al potere in Israele e se la turbolenza politica nella regione porterà qualche contributo alla lotta in Palestina-Israele.

Though the imperial powers tolerance for the Israeli repression and transfer diminish, Israel mainly respond with uneasy disregard. The world as large and even us within are waiting to see if there really was a shift in the blanc of power within the Israeli ruling elite and if the political turbulence in the region will contribute to any improvement in the Palestine-Israeli struggle. It is not clear if the intensification of Israeli transfer and repression efforts are just the last spasm of a dead end or a more desperate line of disregard of reality. In a month or two the picture may clear and till then, the old Tsumud (persistence) will continue. The intensification of the activities of the higher comity of grass root popular comities - mainly in the weekly "tent villages projects" started in Bab Al-Shams may be more than just an expression of optimism.

Non sono state solo le elezioni politiche nel paese ad intensificare il colonialismo di Israele. Si tratta di una tendenza in corso negli ultimi anni in cui sono aumentati gli sforzi per espandere il progetto coloniale - come se si fosse di fronte all'ultima opportunità. Viene messo in atto all'interno dei confini del 1948, soprattutto con la deportazione dei Beduini del sud. Viene messo in atto dentro Gerusalemme est occupata.

It was not just the coming Israeli elections that Israeli settler colonialism intensified. It is part of the trend of last years in which the efforts to expand the settler colonialist project increase - as if to exploit the last opportunity. It is done within the 1948 borders - mainly with transfer of the Bedouins of the south. It is done within the occupied east Jerusalem. It occur in the C areas mainly near colonialist settlements and more so in areas intended to be annexed to Israel. In response, the third Intifada collect momentum and the anarchists against the wall are invited more and more to locations of joint struggles. The general election revealed that a substantial section of the capitalist elite start to distance itself from the costly settler colonialist project... But, it seems more international pressure is needed for a significant change. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment
