A-Infos (en) Greece, APO land & freedom: Rally-Demonstration of solidarity with the Palestinian people (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 SOLIDARITY THE WEAPON OF THE PEOPLE - FREEDOM IN PALESTINE! ---- On 
Saturday, October 7, a surprise military strike, the preparation of 
which was undertaken by the Islamist Hamas, took place in southern 
Israel, when the organization's gunmen stormed settlements, overcoming 
the wall that Israel has built on the border with Gaza, while also 
attacking a music festivals held in the area, killing civilians and 
capturing hundreds of people. This was followed by some gruesome 
documents showing many of the brutalities suffered by those who were 
captured or in other cases the violent death of certain individuals.
These images quickly reached the world's television receivers and began 
to be shown in an attempt to isolate the specific event from the general 
issue that has been developing in the region for the last 75 years and 
at its center is the continuous and unstoppable occupation of the 
Palestinian territories by its state Israel, the multi-year total 
blockade of the Gaza Strip, as well as Israel's intensifying settlement 
operations in various areas, mainly in the West Bank. But as much as 
they cause logical disgust, these images are nothing more than the 
derivative of a barbarism that must end, that of the occupation of the 
territories and the genocide of the Palestinian people.

The fact that the Palestinian people are the weakest link in this 
continuing chain of violence which is a product of military occupation 
cannot be changed by the fact that Hamas seems to have upgraded its 
military power. We, as anarchists, do not justify anything that goes 
beyond our own value code in the way and means we use in the battle 
against a stronger and better equipped enemy, while the ideal and goals 
of any politico-religious organization find us opposed, yet we consider 
that we have nothing to apologize to those who, with unimaginable 
hypocrisy, shed tears only for the victims of their allies, while 
turning a blind eye to the massacres of civilians, the bombing of 
hospitals, the blockade and the policy of apartheid supported by Israel 
against the Palestinians people for decades. And they happen to be the 
powerful of the world again: the US government, NATO, the EU, all the 
countries of the West, Greece and with them all the known bastards of 
the far right, who put aside for now their real and abysmal 
anti-Semitism, just because Israel is a strong pole in the geopolitical 
system and they are investing in new fears by promoting a modern 
anti-Islamism.

Israel is an internationally recognized state, its citizens are normal 
citizens and has the support of the most powerful coalitions of military 
and political power on the planet, while the Palestinians (especially in 
Gaza) are an unrecognized body politic, whose inhabitants are considered 
in the category of the "killable population". The horrific statements of 
the Israeli Defense Minister that the residents of Gaza are animals are 
nothing more than a prelude to genocide and ethnic cleansing, as can be 
seen from the course of the military conflicts. The new alliance in the 
government of Israel between the right and the extreme right 
intensifying settlements and displacements is forming, as it has full 
force, new impasses leading with mathematical precision to another 
bloodbath. The universal despair and the need of all homogeneous 
political bodies for collective dignity also leads to the logic of the 
Resistance until the end.

In addition, the criminal tying of Greece, as a country that plays the 
role of the first guide in all the plans of the Euro-Atlantic Coalition, 
the USA and NATO, the absolute identification and alliance with Israel, 
which reached the unheard of ridiculousness of a Greek prime minister 
attempting to visits a war zone, leads the country down very dangerous 
war paths, while leaving the social base exposed to the just struggle of 
the Palestinian people, eroding whatever bridges of solidarity and 
support the country had historically formed.

Today, three and a half months later, according to an announcement by 
the Ministry of Health of Palestine, the dead in the Gaza Strip amount 
to 23,843, of which the number of students who were killed is 4,327, 
while another 7,819 have been injured. Gaza's health system has already 
collapsed while health and humanitarian aid workers are unable to work 
due to the clashes with many of them losing their lives. At the same 
time hunger is being used as a weapon against the Palestinian people 
with the food system collapsing and access to basic resources being cut off.
