🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: — Gaza Resists the zionist Holocaust While Netanyahu Drowns in His Failures and Defeats The brutal massacres committed by the zionist enemy in recent hours across wide areas, resulting in the martyrdom of dozens of innocent civilians—most of them women and children—are a living testament to the ongoing zionist holocaust in Gaza, carried out with U.S. support and partnership. The extensive zionist escalation witnessed in the past hours reaffirms that this enemy knows only the language of blood and genocide. It reflects a blatant disregard for all humanitarian values and underscores, once again, the urgency of stopping this holocaust against our people and denying the occupation further cover to continue its crimes. Amid this continued aggression, Palestinian resistance factions are intensifying their efforts to halt this aggression as soon as possible. War criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, mired in his failures and defeats, will ultimately find himself and his fascist government compelled to agree to a ceasefire after their catastrophic failure to achieve any of their objectives beyond inflicting death and destruction on unarmed civilians. We reaffirm that the blood of the martyrs will not be spilled in vain, and the response will come through greater resilience, escalating resistance, and broadening its scope.

Palestinian children in Gaza celebrate ahead of expected news of a ceasefire deal, chanting “We are Mohammed Deif's men!" in tribute to the Qassam Brigades' military chief.

🚨 Sources to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed report that the Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs will hold a press conference this evening regarding the Gaza ceasefire agreement, which has made significant progress over the past week.

🚨🇨🇺 Reports say the Biden administration will move to lift Cuba's "state sponsor of terror" designation in final days of term If true, this is a sadistic political maneuver epitomizing the role of the Democrats as controlled opposition. Before the effects can even be felt in Cuba to alleviate the genocidal blockade, Rubio will reinstate the "state sponsor of terror" designation, and the Dems will pat themselves on the back, having once again used the 11 million Cuban people as a punching bag in their orchestrated imperialist theater. Biden had his entire term to listen to demands by the US people, Cuba, and the entire world to take Cuba #OffTheList. The lying imperialist devils can spit in the face of the Cuban Revolution but they can never crush it. #AbajoElBloqueo -- As @BXantiwar wrote, we must demand to take Cuba, Iran, Syria, and the DPRK off the "state sponsors of terrorism" list, and abolish all "terrorist" designations. The so-called United States is the biggest "state sponsor of terrorism" in the world. -- Donate to get lifesaving medical supplies to Cuba that is blocked by US sanctions.

Anonymous submission: Escalated Actions NYC 2024 - NYC did alright with around 40 escalated actions last year, but we need to do much more, on a regular basis. The impact of each action adds up, building on the past, and inspiring more in the future. Make the cost of genocide, occupation, and apartheid exceed the potential to profit off it. Brick by brick we can tear down the pillars of zionism, fascism, and imperialism. Get with your trusted comrades, meet with phones in another room, brainstorm, practice, learn new skills, assess your risk tolerances, be mindful of legal consequences, start small, make mistakes on low stakes actions, act with conscience, punish the ruling class, and document responsibly. Get Tor browser, read guides from Pal Action, Unity Of Fields, notrace, neversleep.noblogs.org, and others. "Escalate" is not just a slogan, or a vague, elusive concept, it's a process. If you're willing to be arrested for blocking a roadway, think about what other effective action you can do without intentionally being arrested. When a Barclay's executive in the UK said they can tolerate peaceful pickets outside their branches, but not when all their branches get smashed repeatedly, he told us exactly what to do. And it's not to protest in acceptable ways that they can ignore. Repeated, sustained, direct action gets the goods. We can do more than the ruling class would have us believe. Free Palestine. Free your mind. - All media downloaded from social media and web posts. Shoutouts to Talia Jane, Unity Of Fields, and everyone for a Free Palestine.

On this day in 1981, Los Macheteros launched a bold attack on Muñiz Air Base, striking a blow against the U.S. military in Puerto Rico and inflicting the most significant material loss from any single action against the U.S. Air Force anywhere in the world. #TodoBoricuaMachetero🇵🇷 Via Diaspora Pa'lante Collective

Update and Joint Statement From Peppy and Krystal (9 January 2025) SENTENCING STATEMENT On Monday, January 6, with roughly 40 supporters of Pep and Krystal packing the room, Judge Nicholas Ranjan heard arguments from the prosecution and the defense, and a Victim Impact Statement read by a University of Pittsburgh police officer. Ranjan then agreed to the non-cooperating stipulated plea and sentenced the two. SENTENCING DETAILS Pep was sentenced to serve 60 months in BOP. As he’s served 18 months already, he anticipates being eligible to transition to a halfway house around March 2026 (between 15 and 22 months). After that, he will be on supervised release for 3 years. Krystal was sentenced to 3 years of supervised release and 80 hours of community service. Pep and Krystal were jointly sentenced to pay $50,225.03, mostly to University Of Pittsburgh Officer TH, with a smaller sum to the University of Pittsburgh. They also were given special assessments of $200 and $100, respectively, and sentenced to repayment of some costs of prosecution and their own punishment. Critically, however, there was no further fine. Pep and Krystal issued a joint statement: “We hold in our gravity a deep reverence for love beyond the limited words we have. We know the devoted embrace of solidarity – people leaning in to one another against involuntary servitude and for a world of mutual aid. If we are convicted, it is of love for each other, and for our community, to which all brave hearts beat devotion to the impossible task of liberation. We are grateful for those who care take, for without you, freedom would be even more distant.” NEXT STEPS Pep has been transferred out of Butler County Prison and is now at Northeast Ohio Correctional Center where he will be temporarily held while he awaits BOP classification. He may be moved around a bit before ending up at his designated facility within the BOP. We’ll update the Write To Peppy page on our website as soon as he gets there. In the meantime, you can also email us messages of solidarity to Peppy or Krystal. We’ll hold on to them and be sure they reach him in the prison where he’ll be doing his time. You can find more information about the federal BOP initial intake and orientation process here. We will be sure to update everyone with the necessary information on how best to support Peppy once he actually gets to the BOP. DONATIONS Peppy and Krystal need your support! In their sentencing, they’re jointly tasked with paying more than $50k dollars in restitution. This is in addition to commissary and the costs of prison support for the remainder of Peppy’s sentence. Please donate today and spread the word! We remain so grateful to all of you. These punitive structures that we’ve been navigating together exist to separate and isolate, and our solidarity stands as a rebuke and inspiration.

From Yemen: Long live the student intifada! “For a colonized people the most essential value, because the most concrete, is first and foremost the land: the land which will bring them bread and, above all, dignity.” ― Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth Via Aldanmarki

🚨🟢 Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades respond to the setter Sharon Konio, a former zionist captive who was released in the November 2023 exchange deal, who made a video imploring the resistance to provide an update on the condition of her husband, David - a current captive in Gaza. Al-Qassam Brigades responded: “David has either been killed, injured, or in good health. Netanyahu has not decided yet.”

Despite the treacherous "israeli," American, and British aggression targeting Yemen today, the Yemeni people remain steadfast, standing tall in unwavering solidarity with Gaza. Undeterred by nearby airstrikes in some provinces, they gathered under the slogan: "Jihad (Struggle) in the Path of Allah and Support for Gaza – We Will Confront All Tyrants." In Sanaa, even as airstrikes struck near the square, the voices of the million-man march rose chanting: "Death to America, death to 'israel!'" "We do not care, make it a big world war!" "We challenge you O zionist!" A Yemeni man assured: "You are foolish to think you will deter us from our path with your airstrikes! We swear to God that we are not afraid of you!" The march’s statement reaffirmed the commitment to defending sacred sites and called on the Palestinian Authority to work in the interest of its people and to cease targeting the heroic resistance fighters. The emphasized that what the zionist enemy has revealed and published of old maps, which it claims represent its so-called entity, is part of its grand scheme known as "Greater israel." The statement continued: "We congratulate our wise Qur'anic leadership on its military and security achievements across various fields of confrontation with the enemies. We affirm our readiness for all options demanded by the current phase and necessitated by the challenges."

Dhoruba bin-Wahad on the Black Liberation Army, Hamas, and the popular cradle of resistance via Black Liberation Media Black Panther Party leader and co-founder of the Black Liberation Army, Dhoruba was targeted by COINTELPRO and subjected to torture during his nineteen years in prison. While incarcerated, he filed a lawsuit against the FBI and NYPD which forced the FBI to release more than 300,000 pages of documents regarding COINTELPRO. Dhoruba, in Swahili, means "the storm."

🔻Syria’s fall and anti-imperialist lessons, Essam Elkorghli (excerpts) Libya, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Iran have been countries that hampered the hegemony of this ever-expanding [imperialist] buffer zone by training, housing, funding and arming the Palestinian resistance, and for that reason, color revolutions have been instigated to allow for the Zionist entity to enjoy its expansionist project unabashedly with the help of the Zionist Arabs and the NATO proxies in the region... While surely the Axis of Resistance has received a major blow and needs to reorganize and restrategize vis-á-vis the proliferation of imperialism in Syria given the victory of the Zionist Islamists (they literally thanked the Zionist entity for supporting them in overthrowing the Syrian government), the compass remains Palestine. The ongoing genocide in Gaza ought to be our compass and standing with–ideologically and materially–the anti-imperialist forces should be the prime focus. The enemy is no longer on the other side of the border; the enemy of Palestinian liberation is within us, and it starts with educating and mobilizing against the local functionaries of imperialism. 🔻The Enemy at Home: U.S. Imperialism in Syria, Patrick Higgins (excerpts) It is probably Syria that has most flabbergasted and divided the Western left. It is also the most recent site of direct U.S. military occupation... This divisiveness around Syria only makes it all the more important to comprehend. We cannot meaningfully oppose U.S. imperialism anywhere if we compromise or make the slightest peace with it in Syria... The significance of these details cannot be understated, for they indicate that sections of U.S. capital not only depend on undermining Syrian sovereignty, but on destroying the Syrian state and evaporating its wealth, in what amounts to an unspeakably violent episode of looting... Those of us living inside of the beast have an internationalist obligation to amass whatever forces possible to antagonize, obstruct, and ultimately shut down these networks of war. In doing so, we must recognize that we face an enemy with which partial compromises amount to total compromises...In the most practical sense, we cannot oppose U.S. imperialism anywhere if we actively or passively accept it in Syria. To oppose U.S. imperialism is to oppose capitalism itself. Conversely, the successes of U.S. imperialism in Syria strengthens its profits, and thus its expansive capacities elsewhere, from Honduras and Colombia to Niger and the Philippines, and beyond... Still, the question remains as to what constituencies can be mobilized in such a moment. On that front, there already exists a growing and serious solidarity between the Palestinian and Black liberation movements, itself built on earlier groundwork and linkages made in the 1960s and 70s. Any resurgent antiwar effort would have to meet those movements at an intersection and articulate itself in a way that corresponds to their strategic needs while helping to broaden their analyses of the imperialist enemy before us. If this could be successfully executed, we would have a viable force capable of employing a wide range of confrontational tactics against the corporate headquarters of global war, much the way the Black liberation movement had done with the peace movement against the war on Vietnam generations prior, bequeathing us a precious revolutionary anti-imperialist tradition that expressed the importance of having inside the United States a force fundamentally against the United States. Another Vietnam, indeed.

Syria: The Return to the Scene of Obama’s Crime (Black Alliance for Peace - 10 December 2024) The U.S. Must Stop Supporting Right-Wing Forces to Advance Its’ Geopolitical Agenda Around the world, many hoped that the Russia-negotiated agreement in 2020 between the Syrian, government and the coterie of right-wing Jihadist forces, common criminals and other forces against the government of President Bashar Al-Assad, would finally end the nightmare of war, displacement, torture, and mindless destruction suffered by the Syrian people – victims of  U.S. plans to overthrow all the major nations in the Middle-East that might challenge continued U.S. domination. However, just a few days ago, like cancer, the disease of U.S. imperialism has suddenly metastasized. The Black Alliance for Peace argues that current U.S. imperialist actions in Syria need to be placed in a historical context. It is important to remember that the vicious subversion of Syria, which began in earnest in 2011, was only one of the two criminal assaults that year on nations perceived to be obstacles to U.S. regional hegemony. The other under U.S. assault was Libya. In Libya, however, the Western-orchestrated assault resulted in not only the overthrow of the government but the country’s leader, Muammar Gaddafi, being raped and murdered by the right-wing Jihadist friends of the U.S. Linking the U.S. imperialist assault on Syria to that of Libya is important because it informs how the few authentic anti-imperialist forces that still exist in the U.S. understand and articulate opposition to the moves being made by U.S. and Western imperialism in their desperate attempts to avoid the inevitable end of white world dominance. Our positionality in relationship to the Pan-European white supremacist colonial/capitalist patriarchy compels us to remind our friends and sometimes allies, that they cannot pretend to be in solidarity with Palestine and then cheer on the overthrow of one of the few states in the world that has never turned its back on Palestinian people, no matter what one might think of the internal politics of the Syrian state. Such concerns about the nature of the Syrian state became a cover for defending U.S. imperialism and were expressed by dishonest actors or those who were politically naive. Now that the U.S.-backed jihadists have emerged triumphant hope for authentic self-determination for the Syrian people has once again been delayed.  Trump’s absurd claim that the U.S. does not have anything to do with Syria is only a reflection of why he will never gain full control over the state and non-state apparatus that is directing U.S. foreign policy. The notion that whoever is sitting in the white house represents the final and only power of the U.S. state is dangerously naive. Just recall when Secretary of State John Kerry negotiated a ceasefire with Russia in Deir Ezzor, Syria only to have it ignored by his generals and CIA.    Reigniting the war in Syria will prolong the tragedy experienced by the people of Syria since 2011. The Black Alliance for Peace will continue to monitor the situation and will not hesitate to reveal the facts as we find them.

Martyr Yahya Sinwar in 2017: Qassem Soleimani (Iran) did not request, condition or influence anything in our resistance in exchange for weapons. He (Soleimani) loved Palestinians and wanted to bring honour to our people.
