Black Alliance for Peace statement: Resistance to Oppression is a Human Right The Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) recognizes that we are in a moment of increased and increasingly dangerous political repression. Peoples’ resistance to oppressive, militaristic, and genocidal policies enacted by the U.S. national security apparatus are once again being met with persecution, marginalization, violence, and even lawfare. The latest example being the sanctioning of Samidoun, an organization advocating on behalf of Palestinian prisoners, as an operation supporting a group that the U.S. state designated as a “terrorist” organization. BAP is not interested in debating the merits of these charges because the weight of evidence on state actions suggests that the state bears the responsibility to prove that it is not engaged in another crude effort to smash all opposition to zionist settler colonial fascism. Having lost the narrative on its support for the zionist apartheid state and bogged down in another militaristic adventure in Ukraine, we see an almost desperate attempt by the U.S. political elite (and its Western minions) to crush dissent. It is using a variety of tools: federal and local police, the propaganda apparatus in the form of the corporate media, and the legal system. Just in the last year, this infrastructure of repression has been weaponized against independent media such as African Stream, which was deplatformed from Meta, Google, and TikTok after U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken claimed, without evidence, that the site is controlled by Russia. Radio Sputnik was also forced to end its programming, and the U.S. FBI convicted the “Uhuru 3” – Omali Yeshitela, Penny Hess & Jesse Nevil – on conspiracy charges. Meanwhile, the violent crackdown of pro-Palestine/anti-genocide student protests across college campuses continues. The punishment of those who openly oppose U.S. government policies, particularly in opposition to U.S. support of zionist occupation and genocide, is in full swing as the state and its foreign state agents, like AIPAC and the ADL, move to designate organizations, entities, or individuals that support Palestinian resistance as “terrorists” or supporters of “terrorism.” The objective of this repression is not just to silence political opposition, but to criminalize it – totalitarianism in practice. We in the Black Alliance for Peace fully understand the dangerous times we are in. Yet, we remain unyieldingly committed to our principles, to People(s)-Centered Human Rights, to people’s liberation struggles, and to the right of all individuals and people to resist colonialism, dictatorship, global imperialist warmongering, and all forms of oppression. For BAP, “No Compromise, No Retreat!” is more than a slogan. Ultimately, it is our response to the deepening repression; and it is an affirmation of the ongoing struggle that must be waged in order to finally defeat the dark forces of oppression and build a new world.

🔻STOP COP CITY! STOP COP NATION! STOP COP WORLD! Reposting the call from the Stop Cop Nation coalition: On October 22nd, the Day of Action to Stop Police Brutality, Repression, and the Criminalization of a Generation, cities across the so-called United States will be executing direct actions in solidarity with the national mobilization call to Stop Cop Nation. What began as a call to Stop Cop City is now a call to Stop Cop Nation. This moment requires decisive and strategic action. Whatever the tactic and whatever the location, make sure you do your own research to isolate the decision-makers who will become targets for your local cop city site, critically assess how you can materially disrupt business as usual, and power map the resources and social power of relevant entities local to you, including the power of your own formation. The time to start resisting the local construction of these facilities, and the expansion of the police state nationally, is now. Action toolkit: https://stopcopnation.com/action-toolkit Learn more, find a local event or action, and submit yours to be added to the map at StopCopNation.com and follow instagram.com/stopcopnation #StopCopNation

🟢 Eternal Martyr Yahya Sinwar's last will and testament, translated from Arabic: unityoffields.org/sinwar-will I am Yahya, the son of a refugee who turned exile into a temporary homeland and turned a dream into an eternal battle. My will is for you to remain loyal to the blood of the martyrs, to those who have left us this thorn-filled path. They paved the road to freedom with their blood so do not waste those sacrifices on the calculations of politicians or the games of diplomacy. The Al-Aqsa Flood was a battle of spirits before it was a battle of bodies, and of will before it was a battle of weapons. What I leave behind is not a personal legacy, but a collective one for every Palestinian who dreamed of freedom. Be a thorn in their throat, a flood that knows no retreat, and do not rest until the world acknowledges that we are the rightful owners and that we are not just numbers in the news. In prison, I learned that patience is not just a virtue, but a weapon — a bitter weapon, like drinking the sea drop by drop. My will is for you to remain steadfast, clinging to your dignity and to the dream that never dies. The enemy wants us to abandon resistance, to turn our cause into endless negotiations, but I say to you do not negotiate over what is rightfully yours. They fear your steadfastness more than your weapons. Resistance is not just a weapon we carry, but it is our love for Palestine in every breath we take, it is our will to remain despite the siege and aggression. So hold onto the land as firmly as roots cling to the soil for no wind can uproot a people who have chosen to live. Carry the dream of Palestine in your heart and make every wound a weapon, and every tear a source of hope. This is my will: do not lay down your weapons, do not throw away stones, do not forget your martyrs, and do not compromise on a dream that is rightfully yours. If I fall, do not fall with me, but carry the banner that never falls and make my blood a bridge for a generation that rises from our ashes stronger. Do not forget that the homeland is not just a story to be told, but a reality to be lived.

May we all be as brave as @SamidounPP's International Coordinator Charlotte Kates. Here she is speaking at a rally in 2006: "Around the world, in the name of Palestine, in the name of Lebanon, in the name of the Palestinian resistance, in the name of Hezbollah, in the name of the people of Iraq...We today say, these are our troops, our freedom fighters, and we support them! We support them, and we will build our resistance here." From Unity of Fields' solidarity statement about Samidoun's phony "terrorist" designation": Samidoun, a longtime target of state repression and liberal zionist counterinsurgency from within the movement, is a principled and unyielding international voice for thousands of Palestinian political prisoners... Anti-imperialist forces must rigorously adapt our strategies to this new phase of repression. It is more crucial than ever to voice support for the resistance because the more of us that do, the harder it is for the state to divide and disorganize us... We must affirm the righteousness of the Axis of Resistance, and also the righteousness of militant resistance in the imperial core... An attack on one of us is an attack on us all. We are all Samidoun! Abolish the “terrorist” lists! Let repression breed more resistance.

🚨 Zionist media reports that hundreds of workers at the Port of Haifa received text messages in Arabic stating that they work in a location that is a target for missiles. The Port of Haifa was extensively documented by a Hezbollah drone in the first Hudhud video, with precision missiles pictured near the port. Further, martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah previously stated: "We know the details of the port of Haifa better than we know the details of the port of Beirut." Hezbollah, as part of its new phase, has warned settlers used by the zionist entity as human shields to stay away from IOF military installations hidden in settler homes, near hospitals, and in universities, as they are legitimate targets, emphasizing that they will turn Haifa into "Kiryat Shmona."

Read the message from a mom of a 21yo Palestine Action UK political prisoner being targeted with counter-terrorism powers. Notice how the Labour government in the UK & the Democrats in the US are both heightening their fascist repression of anti-zionists: "I've been quiet on here because my life has been turned upside down. My daughter Zoe is in prison 💔 She's being treated like a terrorist for taking action against an Israeli arms firm. Zoe is one of 10 activists in prison on remand for action against an Elbit Systems facility in Filton, Bristol, in August. She spent her 21st birthday in prison 💔 She was horrified by the genocide and went on ALL the marches. But she could see nothing was working. She felt overwhelmed & powerless as the death toll in Gaza rose. Then she decided on direct action with Pal Action UK. Pal Action target Elbit, Israel’s biggest arms supplier - who make the deadly drones that play sounds of kids crying, to lure people outside & kill them. Inside Elbit’s Bristol facility, the activists found drones like those used in Gaza and dismantled some. The use of counter terror powers against them is unprecedented. The 10 were held without charge in solitary, incommunicado, and interrogated for hours every day for 7 days under the Terrorism Act. Now charged with non-terrorist offences, they are still being treated like terror suspects. Could this have anything to do with meetings between the Home Office and Elbit Systems UK about Pal Action activists? They have all been refused bail, and with the trial being in November 2025, they will have spent 17 months in prison before it starts. I miss her so much 💔💔💔 But I'm proud of her. She would rather lose her liberty and her place in uni than hear of another child's death in Gaza, having done nothing to stop it. She wrote this poem..."

Unity of Fields: What we're seeing right now is the Palestine "solidarity" movement in the US reaching a point where it either has to... A) expand into a universalist anti-imperialist movement that both mobilizes internally colonized people in the core & adopts militant tactics capable of crippling state capacity for violence... or 😎 becomes contained by counterinsurgency (similar to the George Floyd uprisings) as a single-issue, reformist movement that benefits only a narrow class of POC compradors vying for their piece of the imperialist pie, and will only lead to another Oslo. This is our movement's current impasse, and the choice is ours: Believe that we can win within our lifetimes, double down on our support for the resistance, defend those facing the brunt of repression, let the repression breed more resistance. Or lose.

Besiege the zionist embassies // Heed the call // 2024 Via Guerra Popular

A thousand Yahya Sinwars are born.

🚨🟢 Hamas Political Bureau member Izzat Al-Rishq: — We will not tire of calling on the sons of the nation to escalate the movements against the zionist enemy and its allies in the war. If the occupation’s embassies and interests around the world had been besieged by ongoing, escalating, and open movements a year ago, specifically since the Baptist Hospital massacre, would the enemy have dared to commit the Beit Lahia massacre this morning at dawn?! Our enemy does not understand the languages of humanity, as it is inherently devoid of them, and acts like a savage creature that only stops when it feels pain. If not now, then when?!

BESIEGE THE EMBASSIES. A popular call is gaining traction, particularly to our people in Egypt, the Gulf, Algeria, Morocco, Iraq, Jordan, the Emirates, Bahrain, Turkey and to all the free people of the world everywhere. The northern Gaza Strip is undergoing a genocide in every sense of the word, which has been allowed due to lack of action. The least that can be done is the besiege the embassies of the enemy and complicit states. This is a simple ask. Head to the zionist embassy or consulate, the American embassies, German, French, and British embassies. Besiege them. Share this post and the hashtags. Encourage action in all places. If not now, when? #BesiegeTheEmbassies #NorthernGazaGenocide #شمال_غزة_يباد #حصار_السفارات

THEY'RE SCARED: UNITY OF FIELDS' RESPONSE TO RUBIO'S THREATS View on website: unityoffields.org/theyre-scared 18 October 2024 – On 17 October 2024, US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) published a letter to US Attorney General Merrick Garland urging him to “open a domestic terrorism investigation into Unity of Fields and utilize all resources available to hold this group accountable under the law,” citing Unity of Fields’ “belief that the ‘revolution will come within our lifetimes’ as they ‘will make sure of it,’” and our reading list of “revolutionary material” including of Mao, Basel Al-Araj, and the US Army Counterinsurgency Manual. Unity of Fields is an anti-imperialist propaganda front — a media project that shares reporting and analysis on actions taken in resistance to the murderous ruling class of the United States, and the repression faced by those who resist. Unity of Fields is not Palestine Action US or any sort of direct action group — we don’t do actions, we only report on them and receive anonymous submissions. Rubio is a mere mouthpiece for the ruling class, and this ventriloquist act of using politicians as dummies to relay threats is but one way the ruling class works to intimidate people of conscience into silence. It is an attack that exposes the lie of their vaunted “Freedom of Speech,” an explicit threat against journalism, speech, and ideas. Unity of Fields has existed for less than 2 months, and clearly, the attack we are already facing is a testament to the power of our propaganda and the fear it strikes in the hearts of the imperialist ruling class. They are cowards dripping in blood with lies pouring from their mouths, and we will not let them silence us. Their desperate and baseless accusations betray valuable information about what they fear most: a unified front of resistance against the US-zionist death machine, and the censorship-resistant propagation of these ideas. This week alone, we saw the fascist counterinsurgency’s phony “terrorist” designation of the Samidoun Palestinian Political Prisoner Solidarity Network, more raids and detainments of anti-zionist journalists, and the martyrdom of Palestinian resistance leader Yahya Sinwar. Now it is more important than ever that the anti-imperialist movement refuses to back down from pro-resistance speech and vocal solidarity with those facing the brunt of state repression. The scum of nations and pigs of the earth cannot arrest or censor an idea whose time has come.

UNDERSTANDING REPRESSION AND COUNTER-REPRESSION by Unity of Fields Full article: unityoffields.org/counter-repression This week, the fascist counterinsurgency against the international anti-imperialist, anti-zionist movement escalated to a new phase. It is more important than ever that this movement prepares for a strong counter-repression strategy and studies up on ongoing and historical counterinsurgencies.  In recent days and months, the imperialist ruling class has designated Samidoun Palestinian Political Prisoner Solidarity Network as a “terrorist” entity, raided the house of Electronic Intifada journalist Asa Winstanley in the UK, detained other journalists including Richard Medhurst, Richard Lofreddo, and Scott Ritter, restricted the 🔻 emoji and the word “zionist” on Meta, banned Resistance News Network in the EU, martyred Palestinian resistance leader Yahya Sinwar, and more. The purpose of all this repression is to scare us, to intimidate us, to break our souls and crush our spirits. The imperialist ruling class is cracking down on our movement because we are strong, because we outnumber them, because they are paper tigers. Let repression breed more resistance!

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network salutes the leadership, martyrdom and heroism of the great Palestinian leader, Yahya Sinwar, Abu Ibrahim, martyred in battle against occupation forces on 17 October 2023. Sinwar, who was martyred as he fought until the last breath alongside his comrades, advancing and not retreating, wounded, forcing a whole battalion of occupation soldiers to retreat, resisting still as they fired tank shells at him, throwing debris at a drone targeting him even though he had already lost an arm, epitomized the courage, heroism and bravery of the resistance fighter in battle against the colonialist, imperialist oppressor. Chair of the Political Bureau of Hamas, the Islamic Resistance Movement, commander of the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, son of the Palestinian popular classes and Khan Younis refugee camp, liberated prisoner and leader of the prisoners' movement, struggling mujahid, refugee denied his right to return home, resistance fighter and organizational and grassroots leader, Sinwar was and remains renowned on the Palestinian, Arab and international level for his brilliance, strategic thinking, and deep commitment to the liberation of Palestine, its prisoners, its people and its land.  We extend our condolences and congratulations to the Palestinian people, Hamas, the Islamic Resistance Movement and its leadership, members and supporters, the resistance fighters on the front lines, all of the forces of resistance in the region, the revolutionary movements of the world, and his family and loved ones on the martyrdom of Yahya Sinwar, the hero of Palestine. He arose as a leader from the prisoners' movement, through 23 years in Zionist prisons, and liberated by the resistance exactly 13 years ago today. In his strategic approach, his unremitting courage and heroism, his broad national approach and his refusal to abandon or compromise the principles of Palestinian liberation, he represented the promise and the role of the prisoners as leaders of the resistance and of the liberation struggle as a whole.

LONG LIVE SINWAR! LONG LIVE THE RESISTANCE! TWO, THREE, MANY AL-AQSA FLOODS! It is not an exaggeration to say that this is the equivalent of broadcasting the execution of Comandante Che Guevara.
