A review of the discussion of the relationship between anarchism and the Palestinian/Israeli struggle by Uri Gordon, an Israeli anarchist, in his book "Anarchy Alive!", including a response to his attack on my views.

There has been very little written on the relation between anarchism and the Palestinian struggle against Israeli oppression. Therefore it is interesting to read the discussion of this topic by an Israeli anarchist, Uri Gordon, in his recent book, "Anarchy Alive!". Chapter 6 is titled, “HomeLand: Anarchy and Joint Struggle in Palestine/Israel.”

As he notes, most Palestinians want their own state next to Israel. He worries that anarchist opposition to this demand could be seen as “paternalism,” saying that we know what is good for the Arabs better than they do. More significantly, he is concerned that opposition to a Palestinian state leaves anarchists with nothing positive to say, except that Palestinians need anarchism. But they do not—yet?—want anarchism and it is not going to happen anytime soon. (Nor, I would add, are people likely to be persuaded of anarchism if it is seen as opposed to what they do want, namely national self-determination.) Shall anarchists say that we refuse to support the Palestinians’ struggle against a brutal national oppression until the Palestinians see the light and oppose states and capitalism?

Joint international anarchist communist statement on the situation in Israel/Palestine, signed by the Federazione dei Comunisti Anarchici (Italy), Zabalaza Anarchist Communist Front (South Africa), Common Cause (Ontario, Canada), members of Anarchists Against the Wall (Israel), Alternative Libertaire (France) and Anarchistische Gruppe Solidarität von Unten (Berlin, Germany).

"Hundreds of dead and thousands of injured, sacrificed on the altar of Zionist expansionism and fundamentalism. In Europe, the foreign ministers of every EU country talk about an "exaggerated", though "legitimate", reaction on the part of Israel, reversing the true situation with an operation that would make the most cynical illusionist feel proud by making the aggressor, the State of Israel, appear to be the victim. "

ההתגברות של ההוצאות המשפטיות במסגרת המאבק הפלסטיני-ישראלי המשותף כנגד הכיבוש, כמו גם התגברות הרדיפה המשפטית שסובלים ממנה פעילים פלסטינים, הובילו אותנו לצאת בבקשה דחופה זו לגיוס תרומות כספיות.
אנו מבקשים את תמיכתך כדי שנוכל להמשיך את עבודתה של קבוצת אנרכיסטים נגד החומה, וחשוב מכך, לאפשר לנו להרחיב את הסיוע המשפטי ולכסות את ההוצאות המשפטיות של שותפינו הפלסטינים שנעצרו בהפגנות.

מאז שנת 2003, הקבוצה תומכת במאבק הפלסטיני כנגד הכיבוש הישראלי, ובמיוחד במאבק כנגד חומת ההפרדה הישראלית. שבוע אחר שבוע, קבוצת אנרכיסטים נגד החומה מצטרפת למאבק הפלסטיני העממי כנגד החומה ברחבי הגדה המערבית, כולל באל-מסרה שבדרום בית לחם, בית אומר שבצפון חברון, בלעין, ולאחרונה, כמעט מדי יום, בנעלין, ממערב לרמאללה. בנעלין, נוקט הצבא הישראלי צעדים קיצוניים על מנת לדכא את ההפגנות, ביניהם ירי אקראי של אש חיה, והפעלת אמצעים כמו הטלת עוצר ומצור (כתר) על הכפר.

يدعي النظام المصري أن عليه المحافظة على النظام و توفير الأمن للناس ( قبل الخبز طبعا ) و في هذا السياق اعتبر أن قيامه بقتل ثلاثة صبية في المحلة جزءا من حقوقه هذه
