Activism German police banned Greta Thunberg from speaking at a student Palestine solidarity rally, then banned the rally & labeled Thunberg as “violent.” Greta called for solidarity with the students against Israel's genocide: "We will not be silent."

Rabbi David Mivasair has a GoFundMe to help provide basis necessities for the Palestinians of Gaza. If it is within your means, this is the link:

Rabbi Mivasair writes:

I want to add that the need is not only for money. There is a huge need for people there to simply have someone NOT there who expresses care toward them, who listens to them, who witnesses with compassion and empathy. I think of the people who scrawled on the walls of barracks in Nazi concentration camps "if only someone on the outside knew what they are doing to us here". I want to be the people who let them know that we do care, we are listening, we are trying to help, and they can tell us what is going on in their lives.

Please consider signing this petition which calls for a ceasefire and arms embargo, started by Rabbi Brant Rosen of Tzedek Chicago.

Excerpt:

We know that in order to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the U.S. must stop arming Israel’s war and occupation against Palestinians. That’s why we are calling for an immediate embargo on US arms to Israel. Join us in calling on presidential candidate Kamala Harris to distance herself from Biden’s disastrous policy of arming Israel’s ongoing genocide and occupation in Palestine.

Not another bomb!

Liberals loved her when she was dunking on conservatives and climate change. Now that she is advocating for a group they don't like she's a problem.

In France, leftist support Palestine

France is the only county whose liberal group decided to actually work with leftist instead of inviting the right wing over for dinner after calling them weird and a threat to democracy.

God bless Greta and all the protesters!

Greta quickly went from super celebrity status to almost being ignored by the liberal media because she stands in solidarity with Palestinians. Crazy how they can flip on a person when their cause becomes “inconvenient”

Is this their way of “apologizing” for the holocaust?

Opposing violence is violent in our upside down world.

Articles:

Germany discriminates against Palestinians & their supporters - and German police have been extremely violent & draconian against pro-Palestine demonstrators.

In order to become a German citizen, you have to recognize Israel's right to exist - a concept no other country enjoys, that Noam Chomsky addresses here.

Some German politicians make openly racist, Islamophobic statements about Palestinians - and this is normalized in mainstream politics there.

For example, this guy is the leader of the center-right CDU party, and made these gross comments:

https://np.reddit.com/r/NewsAndPolitics/comments/1ft93v8/friedrich_merz_germanys_christian_democratic/

Emily Dishe-Becker, a progressive anti-Zionist German Jew talks at-length about Germany's climate of total repression against all Palestine solidarity in an episode of Jacobin's podcast:

https://x.com/PeterBeinart/status/1753216787678744670?lang=en

Germany even singles out anti-Zionist Jews. Becker cites a statistic from her activist work, that about 30% of the German institutional censorship has been against German Jews for alleged antisemitism.

Tons of other examples.

Even their uniforms are dystopian. Are they trying to recreate the squid games guard look

I see, so she is the violent one? 🍉✊🕊️

Early sign of a dictatorial State: the police don't have individual codes on the uniform allowing for traceability and accountability.

The blue triangle is dystopian

Is it half the Isn'treali star of Terror, the fascist version of ✡️? Judging from their modus operandi, it makes sense that they are wearing it.
