Stand up against the ban on Samidoun! Shame on the betrayal of “Red Aid”

The federal government has announced that it will ban Samidoun!

Stand up and protest against this repression! It is intended to stifle the anti-colonial voice of Samidoun.

We stand firmly with the entire resistance of Palestine and all its parts. Resistance to occupation and colonization is not terrorism!

The agitation and hysteria of those in power in Germany want to prevent masses of people from taking to the streets against the crimes of Zionism. This is the reason why Samidoun should be banned.

“Red aid” withdraws solidarity at the moment of harshest repression!

While Palestine Solidarity is confronted with the harshest repression from the German state in decades, “Red aid” stabs it in the back and withdraws support for the campaign for Samidoun’s Zaid Abdulnasser. Shame on this servile sycophancy! The “Red Aid” participates in the defamation and agitation against Samidoun and Palestine solidarity. We call on “Red Aid” to reverse this decision and make every effort to support Samidoun! All members of the “Red Aid” should protest and exert pressure against this betrayal of the cause of Palestine!

Hamas, PFLP, Islamic Jihad are not terrorist organizations!

We also oppose a ban on Hamas‘ activities and the ban on the PFLP in Germany. Hamas is part of the Palestinian resistance and the only elected force in Palestine to emerge victorious in the 2006 elections. The defamation of Hamas as anti-Semitic or Islamist is not only a lie, it also shows more than clearly how little respect there is for democratic elections in this country. The defamation of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the PFLP as terrorist organizations is a lie from the imperialists. They are all liberation organizations of the Palestinian people.

The decades-long resistance of the Palestinians is a crucial problem for the imperialists and it must be defamed and combated by all means possible. A very important aspect of the classification as a terrorist organization in Germany is to divide resistance and solidarity with the anti-colonial struggle worldwide into supposedly legitimate and illegitimate support. This means the resistance as a whole is to be broken.

It is the task of the revolutionary, communist and workers‘ movements in the imperialist countries, in the spirit of proletarian internationalism, to understand the struggle of the oppressed nations as part of their own struggle. Anyone who fights for the liberation of Palestine today is fighting for the liberation of their own working class. The working class must understand that the repression against Samidoun and the Palestinian resistance in general, as a repression against their own rights to assembly, freedom of expression, to international unification of struggle.

With their lies, their agitation and repression they want to suppress the fight against settler colonialism and Zionism!

We stand firmly with Samidoun and will fight against a ban!

Nobody can prohibit Palestine’s just struggle!
