A-Infos (en) Italy, Sicilia Libertaria: Palermo. Against all wars (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

On Saturday 24 February, in conjunction with the great demonstration in 
Milan for Palestine, and on the occasion of the second anniversary of 
the outbreak of the war between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, a 
beautiful, large and colorful initiative took place in the Guadagna 
district of Palermo, the southern outskirts of city. ---- Hundreds of 
people welcomed the appeal of the NoGuerra Assembly to contest the 
"Leonardo spa" death factory. In a few months this was the third 
demonstration that crossed the streets of the Guadagna district which 
hosts the industry.

Furthermore, the procession of the 24th was preceded, again in Palermo, 
on the morning of Thursday 22 February by a demonstration in front of 
the US consulate and in the afternoon of the same day by a second in 
front of the consulate of the Russian Federation, both promoted by 
NoGuerra Assembly.

Several hundred demonstrators (from 400 to 500 according to most 
estimates), many young people and many women, animated a colorful 
procession which from Piazza Guadagna wound through the streets of the 
neighborhood up to the gates of Leonardo.

Many people from the sidewalks and balconies followed the demonstration. 
From the microphones of the van that opened the procession, various 
speakers took turns explaining the reasons for the protest to the citizens.

The killing activity of Leonardo, the first European war industry and 
the sixth world war industry, has been loudly denounced, which with its 
electronic systems, its weapons, its means and instruments of death is 
present in the conflict in Palestine , as in Kurdistan and Ukraine. 
Leonardo spa which last year had a turnover of almost 15 billion euros 
in the sale of death systems. Leonardo which with its subsidiaries 
manages the IT and radar systems in both Israel and Turkey.

The clear rejection of wars between nation states, wars that fatten 
capitalists of all sides, was loudly reiterated from the microphones. 
The support and support for the deserters on all fronts was shouted out 
loudly. Whether they are Russian, Ukrainian or Israeli. The repudiation 
of war which causes suffering, destruction and misery among populations 
was reiterated unanimously. To date, the genocide perpetrated by the 
Israeli army has caused almost 30,000 civilian victims in Gaza alone, 
half of which are children.

Full support was reiterated for the Palestinian resisters who are 
opposing the policy of genocide perpetrated by the Netanyahu government 
and implemented by the Israeli army. Resistance which can be the 
prerequisite for the creation of a unique, multi-ethnic, secular and 
democratic Palestine. A Palestine divorced from both Jewish and Muslim 
religious fundamentalism. A Palestine that can transform the present of 
hatred and abuse into a future of democratic coexistence and peace.

Full closeness was also expressed to the students of Pisa and Florence 
who were violently attacked by the police forces during demonstrations 
of solidarity with the Palestinian people subjected to genocide.

Finally, the repudiation of the war is closely linked to the battle to 
free the Sicilian territory from the military bases of both NATO and the 
United States of America, starting with the dismantling of the MUOS in 
Niscemi and the conversion of the NATO air base in Sigonella into a 
civil airport .

The initiative ended with an open microphone in front of the gates of 
Leonardo spa, where puppets were placed recalling the thousands of 
children who died under Israeli bombs in Gaza.
