This Thursday in Waterskaap, #Groningen:

In every city there are anti-fascist centres, active in political issues and engaged in demonstrations. In #Germany however, the famous #antifa flag is not seen at demonstrations for #Palestine; on the contrary, it is sometimes seen together with that of #Israel. What does this mean? Who are the anti-deutsch and why do the other German antifa tolerate the colonialist drift of this movement?

On Thursday, January 16th starting 7 p.m. we will have a presentation and open mic where we can discuss this together.

The evening will be presented by one of the participants of the protest camp under the parliament in Berlin Besetzung gegen besatzung (Occupy Against Occupation).

A special mention to @anarchists4palestine and Flora fuer alle (Rote Flora for all) for their efforts in #Berlin and #Hamburg.

The original Kristallnacht remembrance was cancelled, because of what happened the last couple of days in Amsterdam. See below for more information.*

This is an alternative meeting with only the organizers (Erev Rav, Platform Stop Racisme en Fascisme and others), a few invited people and press. It starts in Hebrew, and continues in English and Dutch. The audio volume is a bit low, but I think it was better to keep it like this (you can always turn the volume up ).

The first and last person that speaks is the one and only Yuval Gal from Erev Rav, who brings an important statement. Other persons that are speaking are representatives from Platform Stop Racisme en Fascisme, Mokum Tegen Fascisme, Een Ander Joods Geluid and many others.

"The belief that Israel’s actions amount to apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide are “worthy of respect in a democratic society”, an employment tribunal has concluded in a landmark decision"

Anti-Zionist beliefs ‘worthy of respect’, UK tribunal finds | Employment law | The Guardian

This is the most important article I've read on antisemitism in a while, talking about October 7th, but also the role of Christian and Muslim thinking on Jews, the role of Russia and the Soviet Union on modern antisemitism, and the ways that Jews have been excluded from all avenues of life in the diaspora.

Non-Jews, I ask you to please read this and as importantly, spread this message, the article and also the history. Help your friends see the historical context of their actions, the way Jews are excluded from society, that their "enlightened anti-Zionism" is an echo of mid-20th Century Russian propaganda. If you "feel bad about antisemitism" then this is how you take action.

So the founder and co-publisher of Broken Pencil has canceled all events that they were going to be handling and supporting in a display of power for being called out on his zionism, and colonialism.

People in power show their power by becoming important for the terrible things they do, and people they exploit, and the crumbs they give.

When threatened, the powerful take what they were giving away in order to undermine the attempts of uprooting movement for the betterment, and health of everything.

Check out everyone who was already opposing power, and zionism in the world of zines!

The piece I've been working on for I genuinely don't remember how many months now has been published.
I'd really appreciate it if you gave it a read.

There's no such thing as a Zionist (or: why the word “Zionist” is less useful than you think)

"Rather than presume that certain speech is or is not antisemitic, we believe this guide can help clarify a nuanced and contextualized approach to thinking about #antisemitism in this current moment. At the same time, the Guide is not intended as a legal standard nor to be enshrined into law, for to do so risks weaponization that could be used to suppress or chill speech"

@nando161@theblower.au [theblower.au] Literally nobody in america is supporting hamas, palestine supporters are standing with the PEOPLE of palestine and not the extreme right wing terrorist organization that is hamas, we support the liberation of an oppressed and genocided people who deserve to be set free from the horrid oppression they are experiencing at the hand of their israeli oppressors.

siding with palestine does NOT mean you are siding with terrorists, it means you are siding with the oppressed people of palestine.

This genocide should be abhorred by all who witness it, it is not about hamas, it is about the massive ethnic cleansing being undertaken by the extreme right wing terrorists and holocaust revisionists in Netanyahu's israeli government.

The side to choose is obvious.

Zionism [...] was started by Christians in the US who didn't want to have to take any more boatloads full of Jewish refugees from Europe.

Next Sunday we're inviting you to join authors Ben Lorber and @Shane_Burley for a virtual conversation on their new book "Safety Through Solidarity: A Radical Guide to Fighting Antisemitism," which uses personal stories, historical deep-dives, front-line reporting, and interviews with activists, to explain how antisemitism works.

In conversation with author @cbmilstein, Ben and Shane will address the highly polarized climate around the war in Gaza, tackling difficult questions, including: how can we stand in solidarity with Palestinians seeking justice, while also avoiding antisemitism—and resisting those who seek to conflate the two? and how do we forge the coalitions needed to overcome the politics of division and fear?

Register for the event and find your copy of "Safety Through Solidarity" at https://firestorm.coop/events/3215-safety-through-solidarity.html.
