Police have currently kettled the demonstrators and are arresting single activists from the crowd, as they continue to glorify the October 7th in chants. Over loudspeakers, police have said that all attendees of the banned demo will be detained. #b0710

Despite a ban, several hundred people, many masked with keffiyehs, chanted "Yallah intifada", "From the river to the sea" and "Glory to the resistance" at a demo at Alexanderplatz in Berlin, which celebrates the 7.10. Hamas-led attack as "heroic". #b0710

On 7.10 in Münster, a coalition of radical-left groups, among them the Varoufakis-affiliated party Mera25 and the sect MLPD, is organizing a demonstration to mark "the collective operation of different Palestinian resistance factions".

Am 7.10. wird in Berlin die Nova Ausstellung eröffnet, die Überlebende des Massakers in Israel konzipiert haben. Ich kann den Besuch allen empfehlen. Die Ausstellung zeigt einem eindringlich, was an diesem Tag auf dem Nova Festival passiert ist - und sie zelebriert Resilienz. Auf das Leben.

To mark 2nd anniversary of the Hamas-led attack against Israel on 7.10., left-wing student, "feminist" and "anarchist" groups are organizing a demo in Berlin with the title "Until total liberation". They speak of a "heroic prison break" and a "courageous uprising". The flyer features a paraglider.

Screenshot of demo flyer: "Two years have passed since the people of Gaza stormed the walls of the world's largest open-air prison. Their heroic prison break took the planet by surprise and shook the toundations of the zionist regime-a key pillar of imperialist control in the region-to its core.
On October 7th, the Palestinian resistance proved to the world that defeating
I the "almighty" Zionist entity is
Pthey Seized ethe demonstrated that ail Western
it. They demonstrated that all Western
imperial backing, all advanced weaponry, stands useless before the unbreakable will of a people fighting for liberation. Their courageous uprising smashed the myth of Zionist invincibility and became a beacon of revolutionary hope for all anti-imperialist and anti-colonial struggles everywhere in this world.The genocidal Zionist colonial project-and the heroic Palestinian resistance did not begin on October /th. This day was not an isolated event, but a justified and inevitable rupture against decades of colonial terror, siege, and ethnic cleansing. The struggle continues: the ongoing, heroic night for justice, freedom, resistance continue o defend their lan and le tight to exist against the occupation's genocidal war machine and its imperial sponsors.
We do not apologize for their resistance; their Resistance is our hope. It is our promise. Generation after generation. Until total liberation. Let us flood the streets of Berlin on October 7th!
Join our
rally on October 7th, at 6 PM,
Alexanderplatz (Weltzeituhr)."

Following the staff strike at The Berliner over an ad for the Nova exhibition in Berlin, the radical pro-Hamas group Palestine Speaks (Palästina Spricht) appears to now be threatening the exhibition with action...

One of the main people pushing the campaign doesn't seem to even write for The Berliner anymore. He's better known as a long-standing member of the anti-Zionist Trotskyist sect Klasse gegen Klasse, which declared solidarity on 7.10. with the "liberation struggle" of Hamas.

Editorial staff and freelance contributors at The Berliner (formerly Exberliner), for which I once wrote, are striking because it ran ads for the Nova exhibition in Berlin, which opens on Tuesday and documents the festival massacre. Disgraceful.

Correction: The police asked Defend Our Juries, who are protesting against the ban of Palestine Action, which has been designated as a terror organisation

Following the terror attack on a synagogue in Manchester, police asked Palestine Action, classified as a terror organization in the UK in July, to postpone their demo on Saturday so they could focus on protecting Jewish and Muslim communities. They refused.

Die narzisstische Selbstinszenierung der Gaza-Flotilla gipfelt nun darin, dass alle darüber reden, und nicht über den Deal mit breiter Unterstützung von arabischen und muslimischen Staaten, der diesen Krieg endlich beenden könnte, dem aber die Hamas bislang nicht zustimmen will.

Wenn Palästina-Aktivisten wiederholt und unwidersprochen Menschen als Feind markieren, deren Eliminierung fordern und zu Intifada aufrufen, dann darf sich niemand wundern, wenn es wie in Washington und Boulder auch in Deutschland zu Ermordungen kommt.

Solidarität mit den Betreibern des Bajszel in Berlin, die nun auf Fahndungsplakaten mit roten Dreiecken bedroht werden. Letztes Jahr wurde ein Brandanschlag auf den Laden verübt. Die Radikalisierung der Palästina-Aktivisten ist eine Gefahr für die demokratische Gesellschaft.

Update: Mein Name wurde inzwischen von der Liste entfernt. Auch andere Personen, mit denen ich gesprochen habe und fälschlicherweise auf der Liste stand, stehen nicht mehr darauf. Es gab offenbar keine Verifizierung der Namen.

Da @oezlemademirel.bsky.social als Verantwortliche im Impressum steht und ich bislang keine Rückmeldung von der Seite bekommen habe: Warum stehen da Namen von mehreren Menschen, die den Aufruf nicht unterzeichnet haben? Wie verifizieren Sie überhaupt die Namen auf der Liste?

Hallo @oezlemademirel.bsky.social und @die-linke.de: Unter dem Aufruf „Zusammen für Gaza“ stehen neben einigen sehr problematischen Personen, die sich antisemitisch und terrorverherrlichend geäußert haben, auch Namen von Menschen, die ihn gar nicht unterzeichnet haben, so auch meiner.

The capital of Finland hasn't had a traffic death in a full year. Lower speed limits, plentiful speed cameras, 1,500+ km of bike lanes, infrastructure for pedestrians, and a new tram line.
When you prioritize people and not vehicles, you can save lives while protecting the environment.

Helsinki records zero traffic deaths for full year

Helsinki has completed 12 months without a single traffic fatality, a milestone credited to lower speed limits, safer infrastructure, and years of consistent planning, officials say.
