Bike demonstration on monday the 14th of August 2014 at 6pm at Herrmannplatz
Get on your bike and come to Herrmannplatz in Neukölln on monday at 6pm. Check out the call out below!
Who
does not have a bike but still wants to participate, is invited to join
the speeches in front of the buroes of ThyssenKrupp and Thales, both in
Charlottenstraße 62 and 57, at 7pm.
After that you can drive to the New Yorck/ Bethanien, there will be food and information on the upcoming GÜZ- Camp (check it
out: warstartsherecamp.org).
We also want to make a stop at Oranienplatz, where refugees have been fighting for their rights for over two years now.
We
see similarities in both sruggles, since the drones which threaten Gaza
are used today for "civil" use, against refugees and migration at
europes borders.
There will also be a stop on front of the Axel- Springer- House and foreign office.
There will also be a musical surprise!
Bike demonstraion in solidarity with palestine!
For weeks
now we are experiencing something that feels like a reoccuring
nightmare. Gaza is being bombarded and the protests in the occupied West
Bank, Jerusalem, Nazareth and other palestinian cities are being
crushed brutally. Mass arrests, house demolition, racist attacks from
settlers and police brutality are already a normality.
But we
do not want to start our call out with numbers of murdered people in
palestine, we would have to update that number every hour.
Here
in Berlin we want to mark the relations between the german war
industry, media and the german government with the israeli occupation
and the war in palestine. We want to express our rage against the deadly
and colonising politics. We are putting our focus on two firms: Thales
and ThyseenKrupp.
Thales has been a big part in the drone
project "Watchkeeper", a drone which is based on the israeli drone
"Hermes". The first tests of "Watchkeeper" were done in Israel in 2008,
during the military operation "Cast lead", which led to 1400 murdered
people in Gaza.
The "Howaldtswerke- Deutsche Werft", which was
renamed in 2012 in Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems GmBH, build subways 6
of which were sold to Israel in 2012 for a "friendly price". Israel used
the subways as a carrier for nucelar weapons, which ThyssenKrupp and
the german government happily ignored.
Facing these relations,
we agree with the demands of the palestinian popular struggle, to
impose a weapon embargo on Israel until it ends the violations of human
rights in Palestine and ensure the fundamental rights by:
- ending the occupation and colonisation of Palestine and the demolishing of the Apartheid wall
- the recognition of the same rights for all inhabitants in Palestine /Israel
- the right of return of the palestinian refugees
