On the night of Wednesday the 18th October many people were arrested in the streets around Sonnenallee (Neukölln, Berlin), where people were expressing their solidarity with people under attack in Gaza. Amongst the arrested was an italian person, who until now (November the 6th) is detained in the JVA Moabit.
Except the accusations which are raised against him, the reason to keep him in preventive detention is mainly because the judge doubted his address in Berlin.
In germany in the last decades, the struggle of palestinian people has been suppressed and their history distorted in the name of antisemitism. In a country with such a dark history, the demonisation of the palestinian struggle for liberation works as a tool for germans and the western world to washout their guilt and cover their own antisemitism and islamophobia, to sustain colonialist policies and establish their power worldwide. Practically that meant that palestinian voices have been silenced, palestinian struggles and culture criminalized and palestinian organisations and days of remembrance have been banned. During the last months german politics have been getting more aggressive and this has led to the ban of any type of demonstration and solidarity with palestinian realities.
This repression has made people spontaneously take the streets in Sonnenallee. The german state has reacted with a militarisation of the area, random arrests and controls based on racial profiling, trying to create the image of "the dangerous Arab".
As anarchists, we do not support any fundamentalist organisation and ideas. Instead we stand with the oppressed people in Gaza, Berlin streets and everywhere else in this world and with jewish people fighting the right wing government in israel.
Nobody left alone in the hands of their democracy.
