Tras la brutal masacre contra los manifestantes yemeníes perpetrada por el régimen de Sanaa el viernes 18 de marzo, la revolución ha conseguido avanzar en el Yemen. El aparato estatal está dividido y la mayor parte del ejército se ha vuelto contra el presidente Saleh. Al ver que la represión no logró sus objetivos, la elite gobernante y las potencias imperialistas están tratando desesperadamente de encontrar una alternativa “segura”. Pero no va a servirles para detener la revolución.

La reaparición del proletariado como sujeto social revolucionario, es el aspecto principal que nos ha mostrado el desarrollo de las revoluciones democráticas árabes. Es un hecho de una trascendencia mayúscula porque se da en el marco de la crisis sistémica del capitalismo y de la decadencia del imperio neo-colonial más poderoso de la historia de la humanidad (EE-UU.)

The revolution underway in Egypt is being closely watched by Gaza's youth who see it as a source of empowerment and inspiration. It has stirred our sentiments and has moved us to take to the streets to show our solidarity with our neighbors in Egypt. We attempt to absorb every minute event so as to carry it through the years when we will be able to tell our children how proud we were to have lived through one of the greatest and most inspirational events in the history of the Arab world.

Jonathan Pollak, an activist against the occupation and a leader of the group Anarchists Against the Wall, is due to enter Hermon Prison this morning to serve the three-month term to which he was sentenced for illegal assembly. In January 2008 Pollak took part in a protest by bicycle riders in Tel Aviv against the siege of the Gaza Strip. Some 30 riders participated in the demonstration, but Pollak was the only one arrested, tried and punished. His arrest should trouble every citizen who cares about human rights in Israel. ... read full story / add a comment

The drums of war are heard again in Israel and they are sounded because once more Israel's invincibility is in question. Despite the triumphant rhetoric in the various media commemorative reports, two years after 'Cast Lead', the sense is that that campaign was as much of a failure as was the second Lebanon war of 2006. Unfortunately, leaders, generals and the public at large in the Jewish State know only one way of dealing with military debacles and fiascos. They can be redeemed only by another successful operation or war but one which has to be carried out with more force and be more ruthless than the previous one with the hope for better results in the next round.

Questa lettera si inserisce all'interno della campagna BDS, per il boicottaggio, disinvestimento e sanzioni nei confronti di Israele fino a che non garantirà il diritto al ritorno dei palestinesi alle loro abitazioni, la fine dell'occupazione militare e la fine della discriminazione dei palestinesi. La campagna nasce nel 2005 da un appello sottoscritto dalle principali 156 organizzazioni della società civile palestinese. Maggiori info qui: http://www.boicottaisraele.it/files/index.php
All'interno di questa chiamata nasce il PACBI, Palestinian campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, ed il PSCABI, Palestinian Students' Campaign for the Academic Boycott of Israel, ed è proprio da quest'ultimo gruppo di studenti che arriva la lettera.

La cosa importante è che LE PROSSIME SETTIMANE CI SARANNO ASSEMBLEE NELLE PRINCIPALI UNIVRSITÀ DI GAZA (la prima è stata l'altroieri) il cui scopo sarà quello di mettere in contatto studenti di Gaza con studenti fuori di Gaza. L'ideale sarebbe riuscire a fare dei COLLEGAMENTI (skype o simili) TRA LE UNIVERSITÀ GAZAWE E QUELLE ITALIANE. L'avvenimento è molto importante sia perchè gli studenti gazawi possono in questo modo sentire concretamente la solidarietà internazionale che perchè darebbe un punto di riferimento concreto nella striscia al boicottaggio accademico in Italia.

Sarebbe interessante, inoltre, fare un “database” con l'elenco dei rapporti tra le università italiane e quelle israeliane, prendendo i dati dalle diverse università. ... read full story / add a comment

La violencia muda del sitio medieval que impone Israel a Gaza. El racismo y la segregación que sufren los palestinos a manos del Estado Judío.
