The #repressive #fascist treatment by #UK government and Courts on people who dare to speak out against #israeli #netanyahu #genocide of #palestinians is worse than #brexit

How Shameful, how Disgusting.

One would think Farage is already in charge.

#Call for #International #Solidarity

Since the #25th until #today, the #resistance against #authorities in
#Indonesia has been escalating. This is not something that happened
suddenly, but rather an #explosion from within each #individual who feels
alienated and deprived—both of their #rights and the surrounding
#nature—over the course of many #years. Many #people have not only
witnessed but have also directly experienced this deprivation.

This #anger has grown even more as people witness the #chaos, especially
seeing the widespread resistance in various cities across Indonesia over
the past few days. The anger intensified further after the confirmation
that 10 people had lost their lives.

The #government has attempted to suppress this anger through various
means, such as deploying the #military and #paramilitary forces,
#kidnapping #activists, and conducting #cyber operations to control the
situation. All of these actions represent #repressive #measures against
the ongoing resistance.

Therefore, this call for international solidarity aims to spread the
#spirit of resistance from Indonesia to the outside #world, so that
everyone understands that this resistance is not limited to Indonesia
but has spread far and wide, like a #rhizome. Every form of #support, no
matter how #small, is incredibly meaningful to us here.

#Long #Live #Anarchy!

Emotional intelligence is #political, and a #repressive 'invention'

We must #question and #queer the popular imaginations of, and #uncritical, #technocratic and #ahistorical #assumptions about, emotional intelligence.

#Germany seeks to #deport #protesters

Submitted by webadmin on 9 April, 2025

"The German state has issued deportation orders for three #EUCitizens and one #American who have attended #ProPalestinian protests.

"Berlin immigration authorities issued the orders on 31 March, demanding that the four individuals leave Germany within one month or else face deportation. Their orders cite a protest in October 2024 in which masked individuals caused 'significant property damage, including #graffiti', as well as resisting arrest and calling a #police officer a '#fascist'.

"Unusually, three of the four orders also invoke the German principle of #Staatsräson, (“#StateReason”). This term originates from a speech #AngelaMerkel gave to the #IsraeliKnesset in 2008, asserting that #Israeli security was fundamental to the purpose of the German state.

"Staatsräson is not an officially defined term or codified anywhere in the German constitution or by German courts. At least two of the protestors are appealing the decision, with their lawyer telling Al-Monitor that it is a 'political concept, not a legal concept, and therefore unlawful'.

"In any case, the #deportation of #activists for #protesting should be opposed.

#Khalil

"The activists’ lawyer has drawn parallels to the case of #MahmoudKhalil in the US. 'I see similarities… It is weaponization of #ImmigrationLaw as a tool to silence #PoliticalDissent'. Khalil’s case may also lead to a debate on interpretations of the US constitution’s #FirstAmendment.

"Back in February, #Berlin police broke up a protest, citing a ban on '#ArabicChanting', the playing of #ArabicMusic, or giving a speech in #Arabic. In October 2024, police raided the homes of five men, four of whom were being investigated over 'authorship of #antisemitic social media posts'.

Clapping

"And after the joint Israeli-Palestinian documentary #NoOtherLand won an Academy Award, German culture minister Claudia Roth insisted that she was only clapping for Israeli director Yuval Abraham, not Palestinian director #BaselAdra. Several politicians, including the mayor of Berlin, called for her resignation. A torrent of public criticism was aimed at #YuvalAbraham for his acceptance speech, to which he responded: 'To stand on German soil as the son of Holocaust survivors and call for a ceasefire — and to then be labelled as antisemitic is not only outrageous, it is also literally putting Jewish lives in danger.'

"Israeli politicians cited German politicians when attacking the filmmakers themselves, and only weeks later, co-director #HamdanBallal was attacked by #IsraeliSettlers in the #WestBank, and removed from an ambulance by #IDF soldiers.

"German Staatsräson is less about assuring Israel’s right to exist, and more about giving a free hand to the #repressive policies of the Israeli right."
