The security of Europeans is at stake in Ukraine because it is 1,500 kilometres from our borders. If Russia wins, the second, there is no security possible in Romania, Poland, Lithuania and neither in our own hands. The capacity and range of Russian ballistic missiles exposes us all.

We must intensify the struggle against the United States, the European Union, NATO, the Zionist regime and their allies. We must continue to educate the people by persuading those living in the EU and NATO member states that leaving the EU and NATO will lead to a more just and peaceful world.

We must fight to close U.S. bases in our countries. We must increase our anti-imperialist and anti-war activities and actions. Palestine will be free when Western imperialism and Zionism are defeated. Our contribution to the Palestinian Resistance is the continuous struggle at home and abroad to defeat US-EU-NATO imperialism and Zionism.

Just like in Germany, seems like France is moving towards criminalizing support for Palestinians and criticism of Israel. This also serves of course to label the French left as "supporters of terrorism" and antisemites, which is a cynical use of the justice system for political ends.

Palestinian-American legal scholar Noura Erakat showed that the goal of the so-called Genocide Convention of 1948 was not the “punishment for genocide that has already occurred,” but the “prevention of future genocide.” The argument that the ICJ would first have to establish that genocide had actually taken place before measures could be imposed against Germany therefore does not hold water.

Furthermore, Erakat continued, the debate as to whether it is genocide in the legal sense distracts from the […] war against the civilian population in the Gaza Strip. Instead, the key point is that the warfare is “unacceptable” in light of the more than 15,000 children killed and “must be stopped immediately.”

Erakat also described it as “racist” that “30,000 Palestinian victims” had not been enough for governments in the Global North to express words of criticism towards [Zionism], but that they had only protested loudly after the seven aid workers from an international humanitarian organization were killed.

The video depicts a driver deliberately steering a vehicle into the crowd of demonstrators before speeding away.

The incident was “a shocking attack on Jewish activists who are peacefully demonstrating against the ongoing genocide in Gaza,” said Amrani, who urged law enforcement agencies and the Justice Ministry to take action regarding the assault.
