President Sheinbaum Champions Women Ejido Members & Communal Landowners - Abolish Capital!

This article by Emir Olivares Alonso originally appeared in the March 29, 2026 edition of [https://www.jornada.com.mx/noticia/2026/03/29/politica/sheinbaum-destaca-entrega-de-30-mil-titulos-agrarios-a-mujeres-del-campo] La Jornada [https://www.jornada.com.mx/noticia/2026/03/29/politica/sheinbaum-destaca-entrega-de-30-mil-titulos-agrarios-a-mujeres-del-campo], Mexico’s premier left wing daily newspaper. Mexico City. To date, the federal government has delivered nearly 30,000 land titles to women who own and work the land, reported Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo. The goal for his six-year term in this “reclaiming” of women ejido members and communal landowners is to achieve 150,000 property titles for them. This afternoon, the president led the delivery of agrarian certificates to women in the rural and conservation land area of the Tlalpan borough, south of Mexico City. From Las Maravillas Topilejo Park, she emphasized: “One of the rights that seemed most difficult (to guarantee) is the right to property. It seemed as if women didn’t have the right to own a home; and in terms of agrarian rights, it seemed as if women didn’t have the right to be ejido members or communal landowners.” In response, the head of the federal government retorted: “Who said that? Where is it written? It’s not written anywhere. Imagine, even work was already being done that way. Women were asking each other: ‘Can I be an ejido member? Can I be a communal landholder?’ Of course we can be ejido members and communal landholders, have agrarian rights. And that is what we are reclaiming with you today.” Accompanied by the head of government of Mexico City, Clara Brugada, the mayor of Tlalpan, Gabriela Osorio, and officials from the federal administrations (such as the secretaries of Women, Citlalli Hernández; of Agrarian and Territorial Development, Edna Vega; and of the Environment, Alicia Bárcena) and local administrations, the president stated that this delivery also vindicates the Indigenous peoples, conservation land and the women who work in the countryside. Accompanied by the head of government of Mexico City, Clara Brugada, the mayor of Tlalpan, Gabriela Osorio, and officials from the federal administrations (such as the secretaries of Women, Citlalli Hernández; of Agrarian and Territorial Development, Edna Vega; and of the Environment, Alicia Bárcena) and local administrations, the president stated that this delivery also vindicates the indigenous peoples, the conservation land and the women who work in the countryside. “And we are advocating for the rights of women in particular, the agrarian rights of Mexican women,” she emphasized. From this borough where she lived for 30 years and served as mayor, Sheinbaum Pardo maintained that despite the pressure of urban sprawl in the megalopolis, the conservation land of the nation’s capital refuses to disappear. This is thanks to the ejidos (communal lands) and agrarian and indigenous communities of the city. “The pressure from urban sprawl is tremendous, but here the forest is cared for, and corn, vegetables, and flowers are still being planted,” she pointed out to dozens of people who gathered in the space, although the expected number was not reached, so before the start of the event, government personnel had to collect dozens of chairs —practically half— that had been set up waiting for the President. One of the farmers who benefited from this certificate delivery, María Enriqueta Carrón Yescas, recalled her own story: “For me this moment has a very special meaning, I am an ejido member thanks to my father, who bequeathed to me not only the land, but also the love and commitment to the countryside.” “I started this journey more than 20 years ago, a journey that hasn’t been easy. When I began, most of the ejido members were men, and it wasn’t well-received for a woman to enter their ejido. Making my way in required effort, consistency, and a lot of determination. Little by little, with work and perseverance, I built my place.” Today she chairs the oversight committee of the Cuautepec ejido, in the Gustavo A. Madero district of the nation’s capital, and said she represents dozens of ejido and community women who have fought to be heard and recognized. For her part, Brugada recalled that land redistribution was one of the achievements of the Mexican Revolution, based on General Emiliano Zapata’s ideal that “the land belongs to those who work it.” This principle was enshrined in Article 27 of the 1917 Constitution and implemented during the administration of General Lázaro Cárdenas through agrarian reform. However, the mayor noted, land ownership has primarily fallen to men, relegating women to a secondary role. She stated that in the mid-20th century, only 5 percent of land was registered in women’s names, and by the end of that century, that number had fallen to a mere 20 to 25 percent. In Mexico City, she added, 35 percent of conservation land is currently owned by women. “It’s commendable, but there’s still much more to be done. That’s the great contradiction of our history: women produce, care for, and sustain the land, yet they weren’t recognized as its owners. For centuries, the land bore a woman’s name, but a man’s signature. And yet, women didn’t leave. For centuries, they have been sowers of life, guardians of the territory, the water, the forest, and the cornfields.” The head of government pointed out that under the government of the country’s first female president and the second of the 4T, the right of that sector to own their land is being vindicated today. “Today is the time for women. And the peasant women who have remained silently caring for the land are now being named, and today they own the land. It is time to recognize that without peasant women there is no countryside, no community, and no life. Today we say it with conviction and justice: without women there is no land, without women there is no country; the land also belongs to women.” * President Sheinbaum Champions Women Ejido Members & Communal Landowners [https://mexicosolidarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/clara-brugada-claudia-sheinbaum-large-1024x683.jpg]https://mexicosolidarity.com/president-sheinbaum-champions-women-ejido-members-communal-landowners/ News Briefs [https://mexicosolidarity.com/category/news-brief/] #### President Sheinbaum Champions Women Ejido Members & Communal Landowners [https://mexicosolidarity.com/president-sheinbaum-champions-women-ejido-members-communal-landowners/] March 29, 2026 The President’s goal for her six-year term is to distribute 150,000 property titles to women ejido members and communal landowners. * Families of Missing Persons Request Meeting with President Sheinbaum After Release of Disappearances Data [https://mexicosolidarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/forced-disappearances-wall-large-1024x683.jpg]https://mexicosolidarity.com/families-of-missing-persons-request-meeting-with-president-sheinbaum-after-release-of-disappearances-data/ News Briefs [https://mexicosolidarity.com/category/news-brief/] #### Families of Missing Persons Request Meeting with President Sheinbaum After Release of Disappearances Data [https://mexicosolidarity.com/families-of-missing-persons-request-meeting-with-president-sheinbaum-after-release-of-disappearances-data/] March 29, 2026March 29, 2026 Families expressed their concern about an update to Mexico’s National Registry which “prioritizes administrative management over the reality of families on the ground.” * Clicks [https://mexicosolidarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/clicks-may-3-large-1024x683.jpg]https://mexicosolidarity.com/clicks-8/ News Briefs [https://mexicosolidarity.com/category/news-brief/] #### Clicks [https://mexicosolidarity.com/clicks-8/] March 29, 2026March 29, 2026 Our weekly roundup of stories in the English and Spanish language press including Mexico’s new film law, Langston Hughes, disappearances, Nuestra América convoy, evictions, deportees, and the trade spat with China.

Yes, All Jews. - Abolish Capital!

By Amanda Gelender  –  Mar 28, 2026 All Jews must kill Zionism within Judaism I have come to have tremendous disdain for my people, the evil we have wrought, and the demons we have become. Our craven hypocrisy, our holocaust handwringing, our selfish dissociation, our bottomless both-sidesing, our catatonic inaction, our feeble sign-waving, our condescending condemnations, our wallowing victim complex, our self-indulgent betrayals, our brazen self-centeredness, our exploitative careerism, our blood and soil racism, our liberal cowardice, our mountains of empty platitudes amongst mountains of Palestinian corpses that we annihilated in cold blood. Israel has likely killed hundreds of thousands [https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/8/gaza-toll-could-exceed-186000-lancet-study-says] of people in two and half years of non-stop bombardment, executions, and engineered starvation in Gaza. The depths of our sadism seemingly knows no bounds. One of the last times that Judaism’s breath and beating heart – that prophet Moses delivered – existed and showed itself died in Auschwitz, when Jewish Zionists were already busy building what would become the Jewish death colony, “Israel.” Whether or not an echo of Moses’ Judaism can still exist or is recuperable is yet to be determined but I can confidently state: I don’t care, that’s not why I am here**,**I do not have the willingness or desire to even entertain possibilities of Judaism’s continuity until the Zionist entity is ashes and Palestine is free. This is not a navel-gazing fight [https://mondoweiss.net/2026/01/when-jewish-moral-reckoning-overshadows-palestinian-liberation/] for the ‘soul of Judaism,’ Palestine is not our ‘Jewish moral reckoning. [https://www.middleeasteye.net/discover/peter-beinart-being-jewish-after-gaza-destruction-book-review]’ There isn’t a morsel of Jewish morality in sight. Palestine is an anti-colonial and decolonial liberation struggle in which we Jews are the fascistic overlords, the vicious propagandists and funders, the militarized soldier-settlers demolishing [https://thecall.ps/p/demolish-displace-repeat] and stealing homes, igniting West Bank pogroms [https://truthout.org/articles/israeli-settlers-conduct-multi-town-pogrom-across-west-bank-unleashing-terror/], and executing children [https://electronicintifada.net/content/israel-targets-palestinian-boys/50678] en masse. Jewish Zionists will say this evokes “antisemitic tropes” – we don’t care, your words fall entirely flat as Jews in ‘Israel’ celebrate Purim [https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israelis-celebrate-purim-biblical-comparisons-iran-war-spirals] by cheering on bombings like the murder of 165 schoolgirls and staff [https://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2026/3/3/iran-mourns-165-schoolgirls-and-staff-killed-in-school-strike] killed by US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran. The truth of Jewish terrorism is already seared into Palestinian land [https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/1/27/star-of-david-google-map-gaza], jaggedly branded and carved into Palestinian skin with Swastikas of David [https://substack.com/home/post/p-162550516]. Jews now dwell in and animate the age of totalitarian Judaism; I don’t want to hear about “antisemitism” or “Jewish victimhood” ever again. Zionists insist that hating ‘Israel’ is tantamount to hating Jews, then in the same breath demand that people do not conflate Israel with Jews. When I remark to Jews that we all are responsible for ending Zionism and the ongoing Palestinian genocide, I usually hear, “Not all Jews / Say Zionists, not Jews / There are actually more Christian Zionists than Jewish ones.” Well I am speaking to Jews right now, a people who support fascist Zionism in lockstep across every institution in our community. Enough with the incessant deflection of responsibility. Jews consider ourselves a proud collective people, an unbroken lineage from generation to generation (L’dor, vador) – up until the cracked mirror of modern Judaism reflects back nothing but terrorism, slaughter, blood, sadism, rape, and organ theft [https://www.newarab.com/news/israel-returns-palestinian-bodies-organs-expertly-cut-out]. Virtually every Jewish group supports the existence of Israel in some shape or form and we dare to point the finger at others instead of cleaning up our own filthy house? Organized Jewish formations across our entire community keep the colony humming through diehard and consistent commitment, propaganda, money, and resources, considering strengthening and defending ‘Israel’ to not only be a mitzvah, but part of their duty towards the Jewish people and an extension of their Jewish identity. Mind you, Jewish people are currently operating a string of torture [https://cpj.org/special-reports/we-returned-from-hell-palestinian-journalists-recount-torture-in-israeli-prisons/] and rape [https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/8/9/everything-is-legitimate-israeli-leaders-defend-soldiers-accused-of-rape] dungeons in Palestine and pummeling Lebanon [https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/9/israel-unlawfully-used-white-phosphorus-in-lebanon-hrw] and Iran with airstrikes. Israeli torturers recently abducted and burned cigarettes into the thighs of a 1-year old Palestinian child [https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/gaza-toddler-released-israeli-custody-cigarette-burn-wounds]. This is the “Jewish state,” this is how far gone we are. Zionism is not fringe within Judaism: It is ubiquitous. It is incumbent upon Jewish people of conscience to make the distinction between Zionism and Judaism materially true by destroying Zionism in our own communities, not denying our widespread complicity and policing others merely observing the fascistic reality of modern Judaism [https://agelender.substack.com/p/killers-in-kippahs-jewish-fascism]. At great cost to themselves and their peoples, Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims have stated these truths plainly [https://mondoweiss.net/2023/09/jewish-settlers-stole-my-house-its-not-my-fault-theyre-jewish/] for generations; writer Nada Chehade [https://x.com/olivelacedpen] vividly describes the reality of Jewish settler-colonialism everyday. None of what I’m stating is new, it is only rare for a Jew to hear it from a Jew. Jewish people are condescendingly and racistly dismissive of Palestinians as narratives of their own decolonial struggle and insist instead upon perpetual Jewish innocence: As a people, we are woefully out of touch with both humanity and reality. [https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!QUF5!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F51d9e677-1691-4226-899f-cffce9699116_510x702.jpeg] Art by Marc Rudin/Jihad Mansour [https://www.palestineposterproject.org/posters/prisoners-occupied-palestine] featured on the back cover of the PFLP Bulletin (1981) The fact that virtually all Jews and Jewish spaces are Zionist and support the existence of Israel is an indictment of us as a morally bankrupt people. Zero Jews could support Palestine and it would only further condemn us, certainly not those under the boot of our fascist reign, constantly developing resurgent ways to persist and resist our sadistic butchering. Jewish thoughts and feelings about Palestine do not matter, or rather they should not matter: Jewish feelings are currently given far too much weight, as the world grinds to a halt for white Jewish feelings in particular. Jewish University staff and students are currently receiving massive payouts for so-called “antisemitism” claims after the blessed Al Aqsa Flood [https://drmohamedabdou.substack.com/p/communique-3-and-he-allah-sent-against] operation ($21 million class settlement payout at Columbia [https://www.eeoc.gov/newsroom/21-million-payout-process-begins-columbia-university-antisemitism-settlement-eeoc]). Compare this to how the hammer comes down on Arabs and Muslims experiencing actual systemic targeting, attacks, and abuse. Palestine is a generational freedom struggle, not a weepy Jewish grief circle. Palestine doesn’t need Jewish co-signing to get free; Jews need to get serious, get out of Palestine, and rid Judaism of fascistic Zionism. Of our own volition, Jewish people crowned Zionism a central pillar of modern Judaism and fashioned Israel into our new God. A hyper-militarized golden calf for an increasingly faithless people seeking a seat in the World of the Above [https://wildoxbooks.org/books/palestine-1492/] (white supremacy, settlerhood, nation-building, power within Euro-Amerikan empire). We seamlessly integrated Israel and Zionism into every facet of Jewish life globally: Zionism has no borders. Israel has not become fascistic vis-à-vis Netanyahu and the Likud party, rather Israel is innately fascistic because of its settler-colonial structure – same applies to Trump and the Amerikan crusading settler-colony, Israel’s blueprint, as Dr. Mohamed Abdou [https://x.com/minuetinGmajor] articulates in Islam and Anarchism [https://www.plutobooks.com/product/islam-and-anarchism/]. Amerika and Israel are both irreformable and irredeemable, built out of the world established in 1492, entities erected by genocidal settlers atop mass Indigenous graves. Almost half of the global Jewish population (~46% [https://www.jewishagency.org/jewish-population-rises-to-15-7-million-worldwide-in-2023/]) are Israeli settler-squatters: They overwhelmingly support the ethnic cleansing of Gaza (82% [https://x.com/karaokecomputer/status/2035332961642717264]) and the current US-Israel war on Iran (93% [https://mondoweiss.net/2026/03/forever-live-by-the-sword-understanding-israelis-massive-support-for-iran-war/]). Most of the rest of us live as privileged white settlers in colonies like so-called Amerika (41% of Jews [https://www.jewishagency.org/jewish-population-rises-to-15-7-million-worldwide-in-2023/]). Those of us living in settler-colonies outside of Israel also neglect our responsibilities as settlers toward Indigenous Land Back and Black self-determination movements where we are; On Turtle Island, Black and Indigenous genocides have persisted for 533 years and counting. When I state that virtually all Jews and Jewish formations are Zionist, I am including most of the very small number of Jews and Jewish organizations who self-identify as “anti-zionist” or “pro-Palestine.” Scratch the surface and you’ll find quickly that most are liberal Zionists [https://mondoweiss.net/2025/12/liberation-is-not-integration-on-liberal-zionism-one-state-fantasies-and-what-palestinians-actually-want/], as Lara Kilani and the team at Good Shepherd Collective [https://thecall.ps/] frequently note. All Jews who claim “non-zionism” are Zionist in their politics because they always disparage the resistance and conflate colonizer with colonized (ex. “We condemn both violence by Hamas and violence by Israel” or “A co-existent future on the land for both Palestinians and Israelis/Jews”). Genuine Jewish anti-zionists unwaveringly support the total eradication of Israel (and the greater Satan: Amerika [https://drmohamedabdou.substack.com/p/communique-5-god-damn-america]); full Land Back without a speck of Zionist or Euro-Amerikan imperial/settler-colonial control. This includes removing Jews from Palestine (while ensuring they don’t do harm where they go or further displace Indigenous peoples elsewhere), and open reverent support for Palestine’s armed resistance [https://theconnections.substack.com/p/jewish-anti-zionists-stop-throwing]. Gaza’s mujahideen are at the heart of the struggle, currently spearheaded by Hamas’ Al Qassam Brigades, who executed the miraculous Al Aqsa Flood [https://drmohamedabdou.substack.com/p/communique-7-the-quran-and-the-mighty] on October 7th, 2023; an operation that genuine Jewish anti-zionists unequivocally recognize as one of most prolific anti-colonial operations in history. It is exceedingly rare to find these political commitments amongst Jews and still weak when found, as we have accomplished virtually nothing material or meaningful to stop our people from committing the most heinous and disgusting acts imaginable over the last century in occupied Palestine. Jewish people are currently raping Palestinians to death with hot metal rods [https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240607-israels-use-of-rape-against-palestinian-detainees-from-gaza-exposed/] in concentration camp prisons and Jewish so-called “allies” living cozy lives in the imperial core still have the audacity to moan on about “antisemitism” and “don’t blame all Jews for the actions of Israel.” This Zionist nightmare is our moral responsibility as Jews to reckon with and war against within our own ranks: Yes, all Jews. [https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!ZtYh!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F22146a2b-4748-4f8b-a79d-2c36291339b0_500x704.jpeg] “Deadly Star” [https://www.palestineposterproject.org/poster/deadly-star] by Mahmoud Khalili (1984) While self-identification with the term ‘Zionist’ has fallen out of favor [https://www.jta.org/2026/02/04/ideas/the-zionism-gap-what-data-really-shows-about-jews-israel-and-zionism-today] as of late, support for the existence of Israel among Jewish people is still rock solid [https://www.jewishdatabank.org/api/download/?studyId=1277&mediaId=bjdb%5CJFNA_2025_Survey_of_Jewish_Life_since_October_7_-_The_Surge_in_Jewish_Life.pdf]. As people of the world increasingly turn against Israel, having seen Zionism for the evil it is, Jewish people have not budged on our fascistic commitments. Do you see heated confrontations over Jewish genocide breaking out at synagogues across the world? Do you see riots of internal strife inside Jewish community and religious spaces that sell stolen Palestinian land [https://www.cair.com/press_releases/cair-la-condemns-events-promoting-real-estate-sale-of-occupied-palestinian-land-at-two-california-synagogues-calls-for-investigation-into-violence-at-los-angeles-event/] and host IOF terrorists to speak and fundraise? No, of course not. Jews know it’s expected to support Israel at all shuls. This is considered normal Jewish life: Our “birthright” in a world that “perpetually hates us for no other reason than that we’re Jewish.” Our delusions of Jewish innocence, our grandiose self-importance, our entitled death grip on the colony goes virtually uncontested within the Jewish community. Jewish Zionists see Palestine and align with Jews because they’re Jews; Jewish anti-zionists see Palestine and align with Palestinians because they are of the sacred Below being crushed by the Above, the salt of the earth fighting for dignity and liberation on their own land, on their own terms. The land indeed fights with them. We don’t waver or flinch on our positions because it is fellow Jewish people who are the fascists running children over alive with tanks [https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6942/Israeli-bulldozer-crushing-of-a-wounded-child-exemplifies-horrific-killing-pattern-in-Gaza]: Anti-Zionist commitments are ethical, not identitarian. Jewish people may differ on the Netanyahu government policies, who should lead the Zionist entity, West Bank settlements, and the like, but once you assert support for Hamas’ Al Qassam Brigades and October 7th, advocate for removing Jews from Palestine, and promote the dissolution of Israel in its entirety, you are considered by Jews to be a traitor to the Jewish community. Jews with moral clarity lack the courage, the spine, the organization, the faith, the embodied principles, and the will to force Zionism out of Judaism. To Jews who also hate Israel and what it has wrought: Be proud when they call you a traitor to their death project. Let us be “traitors” unflinchingly. > Judaism Is a Religion, Not a People; Palestine Is Not a Religion, It Is a People [https://orinocotribune.com/judaism-is-a-religion-not-a-people-palestine-is-not-a-religion-it-is-a-people/] All of Israel is an illegitimate settlement and all Israelis are settlers and soldiers on stolen land, not “civilians.” Jewish Zionists – both liberal and conservative – cling to notions of Jewish settler futurity in a free Palestine, arrogantly writing themselves into Palestine’s decolonized future, believing that Jewish settlers should get to remain on the land and keep at least some portion of their stolen spoils. Jewish anti-zionists should not tolerate a whiff of this entitlement amongst our own people; Palestinians should not be expected to live alongside their genocidaires. Two and a half years in, Amerikan-made bombs are still crashing from the sky as proudly Jewish pilots pound out life in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, as proudly Jewish congregants around the world hoist and fly the Israeli flag, organize to get anti-zionists fired, suspended [https://theintercept.com/2025/01/31/nyu-gaza-protesters-deport-maca-antisemitism/], deported [https://www.counterpunch.org/2025/11/18/canary-mission-a-blacklist-shapes-immigration-policing-and-pro-palestinian-discourse/], and criminalized, facilitate settlement and trips to the entity, distribute resources to the Zionist military, and pray for G-d’s protection over our precious Jewish colony that has created the largest generation of child amputees in modern history [https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/gaza-hosts-largest-group-child-amputees-modern-history-says-unrwa-chief]. That has displaced more than one million people in Lebanon [https://theintercept.com/2026/03/22/beirut-lebanon-displaced-israel-iran-war/] as the violent ethnic cleansing campaign for “Greater Israel” ruthlessly expands. Synagogues are no longer holy, there is no G-d where Zionism dwells. Let’s at least be honest about what we as a Jewish people have become. Jews in Euro-Amerika send their kids to synagogues, summer camps, and Jewish schools – all Zionist – ultimately teaching them bald-faced lies about Israel (“a land without a people for a people without a land” “we made the desert bloom”), celebrating “Israel’s birthday” (The Nakba) and preparing our Jewish children to one day become Zionist settlers and soldiers themselves or to defend the Jewish state from wherever they are, as part of their Jewish identity and duty. It is the fault of their Jewish parents, teachers, and adults in the community who put Jewish children into these Zionist Jewish institutional pipelines that brainwash and shape young Jews into becoming propagandized, anti-Arab, Islamophobic, nationalist, entitled zealots. They will be, as you are now, woefully out of touch with the moral pulse of humanity, which increasingly understands how profoundly evil Zionism and Israel are. Jews will be the last to see, the last to understand, and it’s already way too late. Just more reason, for those who still need it, as to why people should not look to us Jews for analysis on Palestine. We do not say anything original anyway, it’s all diluted, disembodied, and defanged, through the looking glass of the Jewish propagandists who shaped us. Treat yourself to perspectives that are not constrained and pressed through the esophagus of power.

Through Zionism, we bear witness to what happens when those romanticized and utopic concepts of Jewish collectivity are abusively warped toward an exceptionalism and Jewish supremacist tribalism for Euro-Amerikan imperial aims. I also reject the framing of “Israel makes Jews unsafe/increases antisemitism” because: (1) we’re the oppressors in the context of Israel, not the victims; (2) this framing abdicates Jewish responsibility because ‘Israel’ is not an amorphous self-animating thing that merely hovers over us, it is a colony that we as Jews actively build and sustaindaily through concerted generational effort; (3) that’s not “antisemitism” it’s a reaction to Jewish-led genocide which all our institutions support; (4) you’re conceding to the propaganda that there is a “rise in antisemitism” when Jews currently do not face systemic oppression for being Jewish and the “antisemitic incidents” data is tracked such that every anti-zionist protest sign is clocked as a separate “antisemitic incident” [https://x.com/EmCohen_/status/1780587681124175963] by the ADL [https://theconnections.substack.com/p/the-adl-fabricating-a-campus-antisemitism] so; (5) enough with the Jewish victimhood, “Jewish safety” and “antisemitism” talk, it’s just a distraction from Jewish-perpetrated genocide of Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims. Many will say the argument I put forth unfairly puts a target on Jewish peoples’ backs: You’re still missing the point. We support genocidal Zionism across the entirety of our faith, we put the “target” on ourselves and can take it off ourselves by relinquishing genocidal Zionism and asserting principled anti-zionism. But more fundamentally we aren’t the victims targeted by Zionism, we are the perpetrators of it: The real targets are those materially placed on Palestinians by Israelis carrying out “double tap strikes [https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/26/what-are-double-tap-strikes-that-israel-used-to-hit-a-hospital]” and “Where’s Daddy? [https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/8/6/palestine-is-a-glimpse-of-the-dystopic-future-that-awaits-us]” bombings for maximal carnage of Palestinian families by Jewish soldiers. If Jews cared about justice and embodied the spirit of our own ancestors who fought fascism, we would see Jews tearing down and burning their congregation’s Israeli flags, ejecting racist genocidal Rabbis from the Bima and synagogues, demanding that temples cut all ties to the death colony, instigating revolution within the faith to cut out the Zionist cancer. We would have been selfless and given our lives to Palestinians and the resistance in the entity, we would have engaged in treason against modern Judaism and committed open sedition against any long forsaken notion of a “collective people,” that ceased to exist over the past 100 years, let alone since the blessed Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7th, 2023. If Jews had a speck of morality, we would be seeing a raging split and battle inside Judaism. None of this righteousness exists. And the genocide rages on. Enough of our platforming and sponsored posts, our self-righteous interviews on being doxxed or fired for Palestine while Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims suffer a much worse fate for speaking truth. Enough of our vapid liberal influencer class, our careerism, our wasteful pointless electoralism [https://thecall.ps/p/jvp-picks-a-side-and-its-the-democratic], and our self-congratulatory book deals that come at the expense of Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims’ flesh, skin and organs being harvested [https://thebaffler.com/latest/im-not-done-with-you-turfah] and vaporized [https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2026/2/10/israel-used-weapons-in-gaza-that-made-thousands-of-palestinians-evaporate] with no identification or trail underneath concrete rubble. We as Jews are not special, and frankly “Jewish support” is often damaging in its liberal, orientalist defanging of the Palestinian struggle, regardless of one’s intentions. God Damn Israel, a Jewish settler colony that slaughters in the hundreds of thousands under the explicit banner of protecting universal “Jewish safety.” God Damn this sick pedophilic [https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-jewish-american-pedophiles-hide-from-justice-in-israel/] and raping [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3F8WY-WW7Y] state to which we as Jews all have colonial “birthright” under the “law of return,” a state that all our Jewish institutions uniformly support. Deflecting or underplaying this stark reality amongst our own people – daring to slander others as “antisemitic” who call it out – is a dishonest, cowardly abdication of our responsibility. Any semblance of Jewish morality is long-since dead, we killed it in Gaza.

If Jews withdrew our participation, let alone actively warred against it, it would crash. We operate this Euro-Amerikan imperial military outpost, we drape it in Judaism to whitewash and protect it from scrutiny, we keep it humming for our own selfish, settler gain. Amongst a more just Jewish populace, there would be Jews protesting and confronting their Jewish spaces at every service, holiday, and gathering, there would be Jews in occupied Palestine using their military skills to support the resistance, tribunals against Jews who participated in this generational genocide, large-scale efforts to de-nazify and de-zionize our people so we won’t commit further harm. None of this energy currently exists within Judaism. Not even one synagogue went from Zionist to anti-zionist over the last two and a half blood-soaked years.

I still know of zero genuinely anti-zionist rabbis or synagogues (at least in Euro-Amerika) that back the Palestinian armed resistance and advocate for the full dissolution of US/Israel and decolonization of the land. This is an unbelievable indictment of us. Not even a live-streamed genocide of infants burned alive every single day by Jewish bombs and bullets has been enough to budge Jewish institutions and leaders an inch away from Zionism in any serious or material way. While modern Judaism remains Godless – just look at flattened Gaza – Islam reveals itself as a deep well of the Below [https://drmohamedabdou.substack.com/p/communique-2-a-war-for-the-beating] from which Palestine and its allies in the region and across the Ummah draw on for spiritual strength to resist Zionist colonization and Euro-Amerikan empire.

What is there to say? It’s a holocaust of our making. When consequences inevitably return to Jewish institutions and individuals because we proliferated this violence and refuse to release our commitment to supporting genocide, it is not “antisemitism” – it is the chickens coming roost. People will rightfully be hunting down the people and formations who facilitated these crimes for the rest of their lives, as Nazis are still sought out into old age, no matter how seemingly small their role in facilitating the slaughter. And this genocide is not only generational but ongoing; it is settler-colonial in nature and therefore not comparable to the Nazi holocaust. The answer is for every Jewish person, synagogue, and organization to drop the colony immediately, fully, and publicly, hold our people accountable, and move resources toward Palestinian liberation on Palestine’s own terms. Yes, all Jews. And if we don’t fulfill our responsibilities and do it ourselves, others will inevitably take it into their own hands because this affront to humanity simply will not stand. You cannot un-roll the bulldozer from across her body. You cannot un-whip the cable lashes from across his back. You cannot bring back to life the precious martyrs in Palestine; that ship has already sailed, Judaism’s crimes will ring out for eternity. The slaughter continues everyday despite you looking away, despite you rationalizing why it’s “‘not our fault.” It is our fault, and the bloodshed won’t stop until it is forced to.

Where Jews snuffed out life, Al Qassam breathed oxygen back into the body. This is the most shameful generation of Jews to ever exist. Not one of us can say we didn’t know. We are spiritually hollow, morally eviscerated. Don’t just selfishly say “Israel doesn’t represent all Jews” – fight for that distinction to be materially true by eradicating Zionism within Judaism. That is the only choice. When it comes to the evils of Zionism, Jews would rather lie to ourselves and self-deceive than take a modicum of responsibility beyond feeble self-interested sloganeering. How long will Palestine and the region have to pay for our delusional denial, our unceasing rapturous violence, our refusal to take accountability for the ways we have destroyed so much life on this precious precarious planet? Jews must destroy the Israeli state and the Zionist ideology in its entirety, its every node and tentacle, including Israel’s host colony: Amerika. I care more about Palestine than Judaism.

Die Linke Leadership Is Attempting to Silence Pro-Palestinian Voices

https://news.abolish.capital/post/38688

Die Linke Leadership Is Attempting to Silence Pro-Palestinian Voices - Abolish Capital!

Under normal circumstances, the convention of a regional party federation is a non-event in national politics. Yet the Die Linke convention in Lower Saxony, a region in northwestern Germany, caused a veritable scandal across the country. At issue was a motion adopted by a majority of delegates condemning “actually existing Zionism.” The motion calls for an end to the genocide in Gaza [https://www.leftvoice.org/despite-ceasefire-israel-is-still-committing-genocide-in-gaza/], colonization of the West Bank, and apartheid; it demands international prosecution of the war criminals President Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant; and it denounces the exploitation of antisemitism to stifle criticism of Zionism. The German bourgeois press, the government, and parties across the political spectrum — from the far-right AfD to the Social Democrats (SPD) — rushed to claim the motion was antisemitic and demand a condemnation from the national leadership of Die Linke. Andreas Büttner, a Die Linke politician and a former police commissioner who had been a member of the right-wing CDU and the liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP) before joining the party — immediately returned his party membership card. The president of the Central Council of Jews, a federation of Jewish associations aligned with unconditional support for Israel, denounced Die Linke as a party “that provides a safe haven for hatred of Jews.” For her part, CDU Education Minister Karin Prien said “this is not about Israel’s current policy, but about the existence of the Jewish people and the future of Jewish life in the world.” Despite the controversy, the motion passed at Die Linke’s regional congress is actually very moderate. Zionism is not described as a structurally colonial and supremacist ideology, but as a movement with progressive and reactionary wings, of which only the current Israeli policy is said to be a problem. In fact, the violence of the settlers and the colonized is treated as equally blameworthy. Despite this, the motion went so far as to attract the attention of the secret services. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Verfassungschutz), a political police force whose informants were implicated in the terrorist acts of the National Socialist Underground (NSU) neo-Nazis in the early 2000s, announced via an Instagram Story that surveillance and espionage targeting the Lower Saxony branch of Die Linke would be stepped up. A Panicked Leadership Denounces the Youth --------------------------------------------- In the days that followed, Die Linke leaders immediately responded to the call for action and condemned the motion adopted in Lower Saxony. General Secretaries Jan van Aken and Ines Schwerdtner (former editor-in-chief of Jacobin in Germany) denounced the motion [https://www.stern.de/news/machtwort-der-linken-bundesspitze-zu-streit-um-israel---wir-ziehen-klare-grenze--37240170.html] as falling “clearly outside the party consensus,” arguing that “there can be no compromise with motions that call into question the foundations of our party. This applies to both regional and national congresses.” Thus, the party leadership is committed to fighting any political expression that could be understood as calling into question the State of Israel’s right to exist or questioning Zionism — which the leaders of Die Linke present, in a tremendous historical misinterpretation, as protecting Jewish people. The same position has been adopted by Elif Eralp, the candidate for the Berlin mayoral election, as well as by Heidi Reichineck, the leader of Die Linke in Parliament and its main public figure. Finally, the Lower Saxony federation, where Reichineck is based, capitulated outright by issuing a convoluted statement in which the leaders claimed that the motion that was voted on “had failed to clearly articulate” that the Left fights both antisemitism and war crimes (even though the motion explicitly mentioned this). In doing so, this statement effectively validates the political and media campaign of recent weeks, which sought to equate anti-Zionism with antisemitism, and opposition to colonialism with hatred of Jews. These events in Lower Saxony are in fact a larger-scale replay — this time within the party itself — of the crisis that erupted in December 2025 when the national congress of the youth organization Linksjugend ’Solid adopted a motion [https://www.leftvoice.org/die-linkes-youth-passes-a-pro-palestinian-resolution-and-the-party-attacks-them/] titled “Never Again Silent in the Face of Genocide.” The national leadership had already denounced the attitude of its youth, who, while not yet defending a fully revolutionary position, were no longer adopting the language of imperialism. Palestine as a Dividing Line -------------------------------- These tensions between the rank and file and the leadership of Die Linke reflect underlying political trends within the German Left. The “anti-German [https://www.leftvoice.org/antideutsche-the-aberration-of-germanys-pro-zionist-left/]” current, characterized by structural Zionism, for example, constituted for decades a considerable fringe on the German radical autonomous Left. In just over two years, this current has virtually disappeared, swept away by the anti-colonial politicization of a large portion of Germany’s left-wing youth in response to the genocide in Gaza. This wave of politicization naturally affects the new activists who have joined Die Linke by the thousands since its electoral resurgence in the face of the rise of the Far Right in early 2025. This now creates a structural contradiction within a party that has always been committed to Zionism — a stance that was an expression of adaptation to the strategic interests of German imperialism, as the German bourgeoisie regards the alliance with Israel as a matter of “reason of state.” Thus, in October 2023, Die Linke MPs voted in unison [https://www.revolutionpermanente.fr/Allemagne-De-la-gauche-radicale-a-l-extreme-droite-le-regime-criminalise-les-Palestiniens] with all the bourgeois parties and the AfD for the dissolution of Palestinian organizations and the expulsion of Palestinian refugees on political grounds. Faced with the horror of the genocide and the courageous continued solidarity mobilizations in Germany, Die Linke was forced to begin offering a few timid words of support for the Palestinian people. In late September 2025, Die Linke called for the first time for a demonstration in support of Palestine, which brought together 100,000 people in Berlin. This gesture toward its left wing did not prevent the party from continuing internal repression [https://www.leftvoice.org/berlins-left-party-is-attacking-pro-palestinian-activists/], with expulsions handed down against several activists due to their anti-colonial activism, like Ramsis Kilani [https://www.leftvoice.org/germanys-left-party-expels-palestinian-activist/], or youth leaders like Martha Wüthrich. The new, younger, and supposedly more left-wing leadership of Schwerdtner, van Aken, and Reichinek is in fact taking a position of arbitrator between two fundamental tendencies at work within the party. On one side is a right-wing faction favoring alliances with the Right to counter the AfD, ready to vote for rearmament plans aimed at turning Germany into Europe’s largest conventional army at a cost of hundreds of billions. It is the members of this very faction who, quite logically, have become the zealous detractors of all anti-Zionists within Die Linke. Thus, Bodo Ramelow, a historic figure in the party, complained about young activists sharing photos of murdered Palestinian children on the party’s messaging groups, which he described as “shit coming from Hamas.” In recent weeks, Gregor Gysi, a prominent figure in Die Linke, made headlines by declaring that “the situation has become more dangerous because many more people with immigrant backgrounds — and from a specific immigrant background — have joined our party, which I am very pleased about, by the way. But they bring with them views on Israel that are mistaken.” In stark contrast to these positions, which are entirely aligned with the policies of German imperialism, there is a younger generation for whom denouncing the horrors of the genocide in Gaza is a given and who want to confront Germany’s growing militarization [https://www.leftvoice.org/school-strike-in-germany-50000-against-military-service/]. This generation has become politically aware amid the rise of the Far Right and state repression. It is learning the hard way that when state repression and media witch hunts are not enough, the party leadership directly intervenes. Conversely, as the situation in Lower Saxony has shown, when party leaders fail to censor their rank and file, the police apparatus steps in by publicly announcing the infiltration and surveillance of the federation. New Battles Lines Within Die Linke ---------------------------------- In recent days, several statements of solidarity with the activists in Lower Saxony have been published, often by local groups of Linksjugend ’Solid, such as those in Bavaria, Berlin, and Münster. Similarly, several Die Linke activists have taken the initiative in recent months to establish solidarity committees with Palestine, organized regionally and nationally, which are conceived as centers of opposition to the party leadership. Within these structures, other fault lines dividing Die Linke intersect. Should the party participate in government through coalitions with social-liberal parties like the SPD or the Greens? What has long been the party’s core strategic perspective is now being questioned by sectors of the grassroots, particularly in Berlin, where Die Linke could fare well in this fall’s elections. The issue of rearmament and militarization is, of course, also part of this. The party’s far-right wing, represented by the elected officials sitting in the Bundesrat, not content with having approved the Bundeswehr’s 900-billion-euro budget, is going even further to push for arms deliveries to Ukraine in joint resolutions with the German Right, in defiance of their own party’s program. At the same time, leaders van Aken and Schwerdtner offer critical support for militarization by presenting the German army as a “defensive” force. Younger activists, on the other hand, are actively organizing a school strike against the military service that the SPD/CDU government wants to impose on German youth. These tensions will not disappear and will spark new internal battles within the party. This is the warning from our comrades at Klasse gegen Klasse, who are calling for broad solidarity with the activists of Die Linke in Lower Saxony: “Let’s be perfectly clear: as part of the next step aimed at ensuring the party’s ability to govern, anti-militarist positions will also come under increasingly virulent attack. ” The events and positions taken on the issue of the Lower Saxony motion should therefore not be trivialized. They reflect the tensions arising between a government project serving the German bourgeoisie and a desire in certain sectors of Die Linke — though still nascent — to move toward an anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist perspective.

In his sermon, excerpts of which he published [https://x.com/Pontifex/status/2038209125646016547] on social media, the pope emphasized Christian teachings against violence while criticizing anyone who would invoke Jesus Christ to justify a war. “This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war,” Pope Leo said. “He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them.” The pope also encouraged followers to “raise our prayers to the Prince of Peace so that he may support people wounded by war and open concrete paths of reconciliation and peace.” While speaking at the Pentagon last week, Hegseth directly invoked Jesus when discussing the Trump administration’s unprovoked and unconstitutional war with Iran. Specifically, Hegseth offered [https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/at-pentagon-christian-service-hegseth-prays-for-violence-against-those-who-deserve-no-mercy] up a prayer in which he asked God to give US soldiers “wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy,” adding that “we ask these things with bold confidence in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ.” Mother Jones contributing writer Alex Nguyen described [https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/03/popes-leo-sermon-rebuke-of-pete-hegseth-iran-war/] the pope’s sermon as a “rebuke” of Hegseth, whom he noted “has been open about his support for a Christian crusade” in the Middle East. Pope Leo is not the only Catholic leader speaking against using Christian faith to justify wars of aggression. Two weeks ago, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, said “the abuse and manipulation of God’s name to justify this and any other war is the gravest sin we can commit at this time.” “War is first and foremost political and has very material interests, like most wars," Cardinal Pizzaballa added. — From Common Dreams [https://www.commondreams.org/feeds/news.rss] via This RSS Feed [https://www.commondreams.org/feeds/news.rss].
