NATO, represented by the Turkish State, for the last two days has been bombing the Kurdish militias of the YPG that had advanced to the north of Aleppo towards the cities of A'zaz and Such Rifaat. The bombings, which have killed at least 23 civilians, are concentrated around the military airbase of Menagh, conquered in 2013 by a coalition of “rebels”, including Al - Qaeda (Al- Nusra Front) and others that later would end up as the Islamic State. That is a key point to supply the “rebellion,” which serves the petro-theocracy and the interests of the USA and the EU. Ahmet Davutoğlu said that he has informed the vice-president of the USA Joe Biden about the bombings. Although Biden has not publicly approved Turkey’s military intervention, he has neither condemned it nor taken any action to restrain the Turkish State, which would never act without the absolute certainty that the U.S. would end up supporting them.

El siguiente artículo, consiste en una conversación con compañeros kurdos de Kobane, sostenidas en Mayo del 2015. Estas conversaciones fueron publicadas originalmente en el periódico anarquista chileno Solidaridad en dos partes, en los N°s 29 y 30. Estas conversaciones fueron sostenidas un mes antes de que el Estado turco comenzara su ofensiva militar en contra de la población kurda en el Sureste del país, agresión que se extiende más allá de la frontera siria e iraquí. Al momento de sostener estas conversaciones, los compañeros esperaban lo peor, esperaban que el Estado comenzaría a incrementar las agresiones y que buscaría la excusa para declarar la guerra total al pueblo kurdo para ahogar en sangre su experiencia libertaria. Este es el escenario que estamos presenciando hoy, por lo cual urge la mayor solidaridad posible con el pueblo kurdo y multiplicar las acciones de repudio en contra del terror de Estado en Turquía.

At the beginning, the joint struggle in Bil'in of the Israeli Anarchists Against The Wall with the local activists differed only with a consisted Fridays direct actions against the construction of the separation fence. The Israeli state response was a prolonged effort to block the participation of the Israeli activists that failed due to geographic conditions, persistence of the Israeli activists, and our ingenuity. One of the restricting factors on the suppression efforts of the state forces was wide spread sympathy for these demos in the Israeli media, and public. In a desperate efforts the army sent covert agents to initiate stone throwing from the demo on the state force. After a long while they succeeded. Youngsters of the village got into the stone throwing habit. For years it was all over the media and contributed to the stone throwing culture of the Palestinian youth. This was a significant contributor factor to the already 4 months old "Children Intifada". read full story / add a comment

Reza Aslan's Zealot (2013) presents the ways in which the life of Jesus of Nazareth was “revised” ex post facto by the Gospel-writers or evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and how it was that Rome's suppression of the Jewish Revolt of 66 C.E. catalyzed the very writing of the Gospels (70-120 C.E.) and the propagation throughout the Greco-Roman Diaspora of the revisionist views of Saul (Paul) of Tarsus, which stressed the divinity of Jesus while attempting to reconcile or downplay the prophet's political revolutionism, directed against Rome and the Jewish ruling class, as summarized in the Kingdom of God he proclaimed. Aslan provides many historical correctives both to the presentation of the Gospels and the dogma institutionalized by the various Christian churches, yet his own account of Jesus as Zealot would likely be improved by engagement with Christian anarchist thinkers such as Leo Tolstoy. read full story / add a comment

L’OTAN, representada per l’Estat turc, porta dos dies bombardejant despietadament a les milícies kurdes del YPG que avancen al nord d’Aleppo cap a les ciutats de A’zaz i Tal Rifaat. Els bombardejos, que han mort almenys a 23 civils, s’han centrat en la base aèria de Menagh, conquistada el 2013 per una coalició de “rebels”, entre els quals participava Al-Qaeda (el front Al-Nusra) i altres que després acabarien en l’Estat Islàmic. Aquest és un punt clau per abastir la “rebel·lió” al servei de les petro-teocràcies i dels interessos dels EUA i la UE. Ahmet Davutoglu ha dit que ha informat d’aquests bombardejos al vicepresident dels EUA Joe Biden, que encara que públicament no aprova la intervenció militar, tampoc l’ha condemnat ni ha pres accions per frenar l’Estat turc, el qual mai actuaria sense la certesa absoluta que EUA acabaria donant-los suport.

The mounting international pressure on Israel with the B.D.S. as catalyst, initiated a rightist onslaught on the activists of the joint struggle. With cooperation of the main TV channel, two activists were arrested - even blamed to be involved in murder of a Palestinian collaborator of settlements... only to be released unconditionally weeks later. As part of the onslaught I got few seconds in the rightist item in the main TV news program summing our position that no state is a solution - not two states and even one democratic state is impossible to achieve before the Zionist settler colonialist project will be defeated by social revolution in the whole region. In another wide distribution of the rightist video item I was presented as claiming that the chant in the joint demos for freedom to Palestine from the river to the see is not a call for a state for the Palestinians, but for a joint secular democratic state for all the inhabitants - Palestinians, Jews, and others... It seems we owe them rightists for the wide publicity.

It is hard to assess what is the part of the joint struggle and the B.D.S. in the serious crack in the Israeli elite. It was expressed by the leader of biggest opposition party - The Zionist List which suggested a partial agreement of withdrawal (even from part of the expanded Jerusalem). Since 1967 war, all the years the official position was that Israel will retreat from most of the occupied territories of the 1967 war if the Palestinian will agree to a peace pact that will include among other conditions the non return of the 1948 refugees. As it was clear that no Palestinian leadership will be able to do that it was clear to all that the monolithic consensus of the Zionist parties is to continue the occupation for ever. It is not surprising that even the leader of the radical leftist Zionist party Merets oppose this radical suggestion for withdrawal with out the (non achievable) final peace pact.

Le brutte notizie sono che la stragrande maggioranza degli Israeliani è a favore di un unico Stato - inclusi i centristi e persino la sinistra sionista (che dice di volere la soluzione dei "due Stati" ma con precondizioni impossibili). Le buone notizie sono che le potenze imperialiste le quali sostengono lo status quo stanno gradualmente cedendo alla pressione dell'opinione pubblica dei loro Stati che non vuole il regime di apartheid e di sgomberi imposto da Israele. La lotta unitaria non armata aveva suscitato ampia attenzione e spinto attivisti di ogni parte dei mondo ad impegnarsi nel movimento per mettere fine all'occupazione israeliana.

The bad news are that the overwhelming majority of the Israelis support it - including the centrists and even the Zionist left (who claim they want "two states" solution but with impossible pre conditions). The good news are that the imperial powers whose support to the status qua are gradually yielding to public opinions pressure of their citizens who do not agree with the Israeli apartheid-transferor regime. The non armed joint struggle initiated wide attention and drew participants from all over the world with international movement dedicated to put end to the Israeli occupation. (A short video about two kids in Bil'in got in few days two million views.). The anarchists against the wall and other like minded among the palestinians and abroad still struggle for the end of the Zionist settler colonialist/transferor project and not just for the end of 1967 occupation.

Así estábamos los hijos de los nacionalistas, cerrados, bastante ignorantes, simplemente no lo sabíamos y eso ocurría mucho antes de que Naftali Bennett fuera ministro de Educación. Así era en aquellos hermosos años, cuando los ministros de Educación eran de la izquierda, los años de la añoranza. read full story / add a comment

Le autorità israeliane ammettono di non avere nessuna soluzione e nessuna strategia per fermare o anche contenere la intifada "non-organizzata" fatta per lo più a livello individuale e da giovani. Gli arresti di massa di centinaia di minorenni non sembra aver raggiunto nessun risultato. I tentativi di sgombero non si fermano, anzi sono in crescita nella Valle del Giordano, nell'Area C, a Gerusalemme e persino nei confini del 1948. Sui media israeliani la controversia riguarda il riconoscimento che c'è già un solo Stato e che bisogna organizzare un migliore ordine del Bantustan prima che la pressione internazionale costringa ad un ritiro sostanziale dai territori occupati con l'espansione del 1967. Le notizie dei media sulla campagna B.D.S. sono di solito ristrette solo ad un incremento del boicottaggio. [English] read full story / add a comment

The Israeli authorities admit it have no solution or a strategy to stop or even restrict the third "unorganized" mainly individualist and of youth. The mass arrest of hundreds of under age children do not seems to have any effect. The transfer efforts do not stop, and even increase in the Jordan valley, area C, Jerusalem, and even within the 1948 borders. The controversy in the Israeli media is mainly about the admitting it is already one state and about initiating a better Bantustan order before international pressure will force a more substantial retreat from 1967 expansion. The B.D.S. media news are usually restricted only to dramatic additions in it. The Nebi Saleh community is in the focus of the efforts to stop the joint struggle and its Friday demos. In spite of it, the regular Bil'in, Ni'ilin, Nebi Saleh, Ma'asarah, Qaddum, Sheikh Jarrah, West of Hebron Hills are accompanied from time to time by other communities. read full story / add a comment

Si lotta quando si ha la speranza di un cambiamento in corso. Si lotta quando ci si rifiuta di accettare lo stato di cose presente come l'unico possibile futuro. Si lotta anche quando la minima speranza tiene viva la tua dignità. E ci sono persone la cui collera è così forte che non c'è nessun ragionamento che possa trattenerle. Ora, quando sembra evaporata la speranza di un futuro migliore in comune e quando si è ridotta al minimo anche la speranza di un migliore futuro personale, la collera di tanti giovani è più forte della preservazione dell'istinto di vita... si aspetta solo quel grilletto rischioso che spinge un altro ragazzo o un'altra ragazza ad andare in una missione suicida.

You struggle when you have hope for a developing change. You struggle when you refuse to accept the present as the only possible future. You struggle even when the hope is low just to keep your dignity from evaporating. And there are people their rage is so strong that no reasoning can hold them back. Now, when the hope for a better common future evaporated, and the hope for a nice personal future is even lower, the anger of lot of youth is stronger than the preservation of life instinct... it is just waiting for a chancy trigger to pull another boy or girl and send them to a suicide mission. And the mighty Israeli state just start to admit that their brutality reached the wall it cannot overcome. The military elite already stated to reveal it in the open that the new emerging "individualist" Intifada cannot be stopped by force. For those who are not burnt out or desperate the non armed joint struggle is the only sane road. [Italiano] read full story / add a comment

In the beginning of the British mandate of the both sides of the Jordan, when Palestine was divided by the UK into two entities - each on one side of the Jordan, the secular national socialists accepted it while the rightist opposed. They still have in their movement anthem: "two sides to the Jordan - this side and the other are ours too". After Israel grabbed 75% of the west bank of Palestine in 1948 war, the Zionist elite of all trends was urging and waiting for opportunity to enlarge its share. The 1956 war failed to supply it but the 1967 one gave Israel all the west bank (and some more like Sinai - which it had to give back). The efforts to transfer the Palestinian out was successful in 1948 war, was less successful in the 1967 war, and much less substantial later - in spite of the efforts. The fear of transfer which inhibited the urge to struggle - both within 1948 borders and the enlarged 1967 ones is gradually dwindling and the non armed popular struggle - though hesitant, is gradually collecting momentum. read full story / add a comment

Il fallimento da parte dell'imperialismo USA nel prendere il controllo di paesi relativamente indipendenti come l'Iraq e la Siria ha portato al compromesso con l'indipendente Iran. Il ruolo minaccioso di Israele durante la trattativa ha permesso ad Israele di poter agire più liberamente nella repressione contro i Palestinesi. Il ritorno della Russia sullo scenario siriano ridà fiato ad Israele che può intensificare i suoi tentativi di assumere il controllo dell'area C in Cisgiordania. La terza intifada è una risposta disperata dei Palestinesi che vedono la fine dell'occupazione israeliana allontanarsi fino a scomparire all'orizzonte. La lotta unitaria continua non come speranza che cresce ma come tenace Tsumud (persistenza, ndt) di non arrendersi. [English] read full story / add a comment

The fiasco of the failed take over of the relatively independent Iraq and Syria, by US imperialism lead to the compromises with the independent Iran. Israel role of threat on Iran during the bargain gave israel increased freedom to suppress the Palestinians. The returning of Russia to the Syrian arena give Israel more rope and it use it to intensify the efforts to take over the area C lands of the west bank. The third intifada is a desperate response of the Palestinians who see that the end of occupation is removed to behind the horizon. The joint struggle continue not as a rising hope but as a stubborn Tsumud of not giving up. The intensifying attack of the Israeli state and its rightist agents ignited a lot of social and individual responses. The Israeli media and public is not in 100% support of the state activities.
