Palestinian right to self-determination is a task, not a slogan! Occupation, apartheid and genocide are our red lines!
We call on German society to take to the streets with us against the government’s complicity in genocide and against the colonial occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people. The struggle for a free Palestine is an internationalist struggle against imperialism and colonialism. We hope to see you from 14:30 on September 27 at the Neptunbrunnen in Berlin!
The German government has not only legitimised the escalated genocide in Gaza, it has actively driven it. From the history of the creation of the Israeli colonial project to the present day, Germany has been responsible for the colonial occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people. Every day, Palestinians are massacred by German weapons – half of them children.
The Israeli colonial project is deliberately starving the people of Gaza, while German media and politicians do not name the perpetrator. In the West Bank, the Palestinian population suffers under apartheid and settler violence – supported by German legitimisation. As part of German society, we must face up to this responsibility and oppose all acts that violate human rights and international law. We reject the so-called reason of state and stand against any form of inequality of power.
German organisations, media and politicians tie their position against the genocide to conditions of Western understanding of justice for Palestine, but the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination must be lived independently of the West’s imperialist-driven understanding of justice. This is also the case on September 27 with organisations such as Die Linke, Medico and Amnesty International. We demand the explicit naming of colonialism, apartheid and Palestinian hostages in Israeli custody. We therefore call on you to unconditionally demand the end of Germany’s complicity with us on September 27.
Take to the streets with us in the internationalist bloc and demand together:
- The right to self-determination of the Palestinian people
- Immediate halt to all arms deliveries to Israel and sanctions against those responsible for the war
- Immediate end to the genocide in Gaza and a permanent ceasefire
- Release of all prisoners and hostages
- End the occupation and apartheid and the right of return of the displaced
- Comprehensive reconstruction of Gaza and reparation payments to all those affected and injured
- Equal rights and dignity for all people – regardless of ethnicity or religion
Let’s make it clear on September 27 that no one is free until we are all free!
