Highlighting Independent and Solidarity News

In the first few months of 2016, the spirits of three young women - all fighting in various areas of the Global South, against poverty, Apartheid, fascism, and fundamentalism - hung over the world. Anna Campbell, 22, a British anarchist and eco-feminist, gunned down by the forces of Turkish dictator Erdogan and extremist groups tied to ISIS. Ahed Tamimi, 17, a rebellious child prisoner in the wider prison state of Israel. Marielle Franco, 38, a Brazilian murdered in the belly of a neoliberal police state. All three represented popular resistance against an increasingly hostile and patriarchal world, governed by the supreme diktats of markets and Empire. Their dreams reflect the ideals of millions of young women - but not just women - in the poorest regions of the earth. 2018 was supposed to be the "year of the woman." Between a massive March manifestation - lively, anarchistic, and rebellious - against the patriarchy in Spain, the exposure of sexual violence by the obs...

NOTE: THIS TRANSLATION OF AN INDYMEDIA POST DOES NOT IMPLY ENDORSEMENT OR AFFILIATION. ORIGINAL POST AT  https://athens.indymedia.org/post/1588406/  It is quite possible - and we know it well - that with this announcement we can give ammo to various domestic fascists, especially in the media, that have been whitewashing Golden Dawn in recent years with portrayals of them as "indignant citizens". But we can not remain silent. PIKA in Lesvos writes that "he is in a state of emergency and seeks support". Médecins Sans Frontières are buying "things that are urgently needed". No Border Kitchen will cover today's needs at lunch and dinner meals. "Attica meets today's water needs." They all speak of a state of emergency due to the withdrawal of Kurdish refugees from Moria. In Lesvos, where the fascists hit refugees and the "authorities" arrest the victims, cops and municipal authorities insist to redirect the...

Das Folgende wird mit Dank von der World Socialist Website (wsws.org) übersetzt. Das Massaker in Gaza hat nicht nur die Trump-Administration, die die israelische Regierung schamlos unterstützt, sondern auch die Komplizenschaft aller imperialistischen Regierungen, einschließlich Berlin und London, offenbart. Sie rufen zynisch dazu auf, eine "Untersuchung" oder "unabhängige Kommission" zur Tötung unbewaffneter Palästinenser am helllichten Tag zu organisieren, während ihre regionalen Verbündeten zynische Erklärungen abgeben, in denen sie die "unverhältnismäßige Gewaltanwendung" der israelischen Regierung kritisieren. Der türkische Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdogan und seine Regierung der Partei für Gerechtigkeit und Entwicklung (AKP) haben dagegen die Ereignisse im Gazastreifen genutzt, um sich wieder einmal als Verteidiger des palästinensischen Volkes zu positionieren. Sie hoffen, die antiimperialistischen und antizionistischen Gefühle der Massen zu mani...

Since the G20 in July of last year, the German state has moved to the right at an ever-more rapid and frightening pace. From the massive police repression , increased surveillance , attacks on left platforms and locations , and imprisonment of leftist protestors , the actions of the Grand Coalition (GroKo) government (comprised of the Orban-aligned CDU/CSU and Social Democratic SPD) have evoked many eerie memories of the first Grand Coalition , a government in office during the events of 1967-68 which enacted various oppressive measures, leading to the creation of the Extra-Parliamentary left opposing the two parties comprising 95 percent of the Bundestag.  The 1966 grand coalition was formed amid an environment of left-wing protest and rebellion in West Germany and the world. Students were gassed and even shot protesting right-wing Arab leaders allied to the German government , especially the Shah of Iran, while the tabloid media (mostly the Springer Press) heaped prai...

As western political leaders and xenophobic forces rally against Islam and Arabs following a recent wave of far-right successes and anti-immigrant sentiment,, Palestinian groups animated by a secular and socialist ideology have been on the front lines fighting the Islamic State terrorist organisation in Syria, a development sorely underplayed by the western press. According to the Jerusalem Post , since April 12, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the PFLP-GC and its' allies in the region are working with the government of Syria to liberate the Yarmouk area of Damascus from ISIS, which controls 60% of the area. Yarmouk has long been home to a majority of Syria's Palestinian refugees who escaped to the country following the establishment of the state of Israel. In 2012, the right-wing Free Syrian Army (FSA) and its allies, the Al-Nusra Front, an affiliate of Al-Qaeda linked to Saudi Arabian ideology, began an intense uprising there against the Palestinia...
