INTERNATIONAL ANARCHIST MOVEMENT:
ISRAELI ANARCHIST TOUR OF CANADA AND THE USA:
As mentioned previously here the Israeli anarchist Schachaf Pokplow will soon be touring the USA and Canada to raise public awareness about the Israeli/Palestinian struggle for peace and to raise funds for the continued work of the Israeli Anarchists Against the Wall group. Here's the schedule of his tour so far. More details later as they emerge.
..........................
ANARCHISTS AGAINST THE WALL TOUR:
Anarchists Against the Wall is a direct action group that fights against Israeli apartheid and oppression in all its forms, most recently against the atrocities in Gaza. For five years we have waged a constant struggle against Israel's separation Wall. Our work on the ground in the West Bank alongside the Palestinian popular movement is breaking new ground in the joint struggle for Palestinian liberation.
In December 2008, Anarchists Against the Wall and the Bilin Village Committee were jointly awarded the prestigious Carl von Ossietzky Medal---an award given annually by the Berlin-based International League of Human Rights, named after German Nobel Peace Prize winner Carlvon Ossietzkywho died in a Nazi concentration camp.
Now more than ever, it is critical to support the Israeli resistance movement against the states attempted repression of our work. Members of Anarchists Against the Wall continually pay the price for our activism, including being shot, beaten arrested and indicted. We desperately need funding for legal support for both Palestinian and Israeli activists who are arrested and charged in the course of the struggle.
Schachaf Pokolow, a member of Anarchists Against the Wall, will be touring the U.S. and Canada from February 1st to March 9th. His presentation will include film and photos and will focus both on AATW's recent work in solidarity with Gaza and our ongoing work in the West Bank. Please see the tour schedule below, and help us to get the word out.
