Anarchistická federace

For peace and freedom in Palestine

The Czechoslovak Anarchist Federation (CSAF) joined an action organized by the Czech branch of International Solidarity Movement (ISM) on the 5th of June to denounce the Israeli attack on the humanitarian flotilla, and the occupation of Palestine as well. The anarchists brought a banner stating "Anarchists against the wall – solidarity with people of Gaza“. When the march reached the Israeli embassy, a member of CSAF spoke:

"Let me greet you and say a few words in the name of the anarchists who joined this action. As the advocates of the idea of free, self -organized and equal society, we feel we have to stand up against totalitarianism, exploitation, intolerant religion, racist delusions and prejudices of all kinds. That is why we are also standing up today, as always, against occupations. All occupations are alike. It does not matter what are called. The occupation of Czechia by the Nazi army, the occupation of Chechnya by the Russian army or the occupation of Gaza by the army of Israel differ a lot, but their essence remains the same. The militarily stronger force imposes its will on the occupied area and breaks down the resistance, violent or non-violent. Only the ordinary people suffer. The hate is escalating.
We will never stand by those calling for hate towards others, just because they have different skin colour, nationality, different or no religion. There are no Jews or Arabs for us, but just people abusing their power and people who want to live in peace. We do not see a significant difference between the leaders of islamist groups, who do not mind killing innocent people, and the bosses of Israeli armed forces, doing the same. We stand by the side of those Jews and Arabs who demonstrate together every Friday in villages affected by the construction of the monstrous segregating wall on the west bank. Our Israeli friends from the group Anarchists Against the Wall are engaged there. Those people, Israeli activists side by side with Palestinian farmers, are evidence for us that it is possible to stand up to hate, to the wall, and to occupation.
Anti-Semitism is a manifest of stupidity; occupation is an act of despotism.
We do not wish the Palestinians an independent state, we wish them freedom!”
