🔻 Attack on Starbucks, submitted anonymously – Wednesday, May 15th, Kalapuya land, so-called eugene. Before dawn, an autonomous group smashed the windows of a local starbucks, leaving only “Free Gaza” and “Land Back” written in paint. This action was taken to bring awareness to the genocide taking place in Gaza and to interrupt business-as-usual. This act of vengeance was carried out on May 15th, Nakba Day, a day recognizing the ongoing genocide and forced displacement of Palestinians. Starbucks has repeatedly shown its hostility towards Palestinian liberation, and did so most recently when it sued its workers’ union for posting a statement in support of Palestine on social media. The economy of eugene is complicit in the genocide happening in Gaza; the university and multi-national corporations profit off imperialism while making the city unaffordable for the majority of people there. While starbucks isn’t playing a central role in the genocide the israeli miliary is waging, starbucks is symbolic of an amerikkkan psyche and economy that feeds off imperialism. The chain is a tell tale sign of gentrification and a staple of the white middle and upper middle class. We won’t stand aside and let the amerikkkan economy continue unabated when it’s a system founded on and actively fueling colonialism and genocide. This was done by a group of autonomous antifascists who echo the words of the anti-zionists that shut down the “Friends of the IDF” gala: We have no name. We are not an organization. We are not an entity. Do not try to find us. We are everywhere and we will not stop. Palestine will be free. Via Palestine Action US Instagram: instagram.com/p/C7FSa9rOGwF

🚨 BODIES NEEDED AT FIT 🚨 the students of FIT have (de)occupied SHIREEN'S HALL, named after the assassinated Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. 📍 227 West 27th Street

🚨🟡🟢 BREAKING - Hezbollah: — 12 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. "Permission [to fight] has been granted to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory." This is the truth of Allah, the Most High, the Almighty. In support of our steadfast Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, in support of their brave and honorable resistance, and in response to the "israeli" enemy's attack on industrial facilities in the Bekaa region, the Islamic Resistance, on Thursday, May 16, 2024, launched an aerial attack using explosive drones, targeting industrial facilities belonging to the enemy's Ministry of War (Elbit Systems, a military industry company) - the David Cohen Factory in "Tel Hai" (north of "Kiryat Shmona"), which specializes in producing electronic systems for the "israeli" army. The targets were struck accurately. "And victory is only from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise." Thursday, 16-05-2024 7 Dhul-Qi’dah 1445 AH

🚨 ALL OUT TO FIT 🚨 🗓️Thursday, May 16th ⏰12:00 PM 📍West 27th St. & 8th Ave., SW Corner In response to last week's administration-backed raid of the FIT Gaza solidarity encampment, we call on all of our peers to join us at a rally at 12PM TODAY. The NYPD and SRG unit deployed on our peacefully protesting students by administration's call were armed with tear gas, riot shields, guns, and battons. This is a UNIVERSITY, not a WARZONE! SHAME ON FIT.

🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: — The BDS National Committee's Statement on Armed Resistance Contradicts Our People's Legitimacy in Practicing Resistance and Ignores Consensus We have followed the stance presented in the statement by the "BDS National Committee" (BNC), issued in English, regarding the required stance on armed resistance by solidarity movements with our people. We in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine reject the call made in the statement and appreciate all the positions, forces, and individuals expressing their support for Palestinian resistance in facing the genocidal and colonial zionist war. The Front considers that clearly expressing support for our people's right in Gaza does not contradict the call to end the genocide and support resistance in all its forms, including revolutionary armed struggle. The Front noted that boycott committees spread worldwide, especially in Europe and the Americas, are a broad movement involving all Palestinian institutions, supporters of the Palestinian people, and solidarity committees. They are not linked to the BNC in Ramallah and do not take orders or decisions from it. The Front emphasized that the justifications of the BNC in Ramallah and its call for silence on armed resistance in Western countries are inaccurate positions and far from reality, because the Palestinian presence and solidarity movements with the Palestinian people are all targeted by the allies of the zionist entity, accused of "anti-Semitism" regardless of whether they adopt this slogan or that. The Front concluded its statement by noting that attempts by some parties to neutralize the adherence to the slogan of armed resistance weaken the Palestinian national struggle and the legitimacy of armed resistance fighting on the soil of the homeland. It ignores the support and consensus of millions of supporters worldwide for this struggle, method, and slogan. Palestinian armed resistance and resistance factions in the region have become an icon and source of inspiration for all free people globally. The slogan "From the river to the sea... Palestine will be free" has become the central slogan echoed by revolutionaries worldwide. Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine Central Media Department May 16, 2024

NEW YORK. NAKBA DAY, MAY 15 LOCKHEED MARTIN KILLS! FUCK THE CEO JAMES TAICLET! Early in the morning of May 15, in commemoration of Nakba Day and in honor of all the martyrs murdered by Lockheed Martin weapons, an autonomous group targeted the NYC residence of the CEO James Taiclet, located at 139 Wooster Street in Soho. The entrance was splattered with red paint as blood and messages of “Lockheed Martin kills” and “fuck the CEO James Taiclet” were written on the exterior. Lockheed Martin is the worlds largest imperialist weapons manufacturer, and it supplies the IOF with AGM-114 Hellfire missiles as well as F-16 and F-35 fighter jets that are being used extensively to bomb Gaza. From Iraq, to Afghanistan, to Yemen, to the US-Mexico Border, Lockheed Martin commits global genocide funded by billions of the US government tax dollars. Lockheed Martin has nothing but a legacy of death and destruction around the world. In an October 17 investor meeting, James Taiclet (the chairman, president, and CEO of Lockheed Martin) bragged that the genocide in Gaza would be a “potential driver for increased revenue in the coming years.” As we witness another Nakba onfolding, this action is a reminder that war criminals live amongst us, and a warning to all genocide profiteers: OUR BRIGADES ARE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR YOU. FROM THE CAMPUS, TO THE DOORSTEPS: ITS TIME TO ESCALATE! FREE RAFAH! FREE GAZA! FREE PALESTINE!

From an email submission (via Bushwick Super Fun Site): Tonight we experienced a small Nakba Day miracle. On the eve of Nakba Day, we went to General Irving (1210 Halsey St, Brooklyn, NY) thinking about the Israeli destruction of Gaza and the brutal massacres Israel has inflicted on Palestinians from 1948 to the present. We went to prevent Or Bokobza, its owner who is an Israeli soldier, from earning a single penny more to finance his plan to turn Gaza into a prison camp. To do this, we brought glue and toothpicks to jam the padlocks. To our surprise, we discovered that others had already glued the locks! To these brave and mysterious fighters, we say: Thank you for giving us a little joy on a dark day. Your decorations were beautiful too. By the way, you missed the padlock on the main entrance to the brick building. Don't worry, we got it for you.

ALL OUT TO ASTORIA TODAY ON NAKBA DAY‼️🇵🇸 📍Steinway St at 5 PM

The students of The City University of New York have once again committed to further action following the shut down of their Gaza solidarity encampment by the nypd at the beginning of this month. CUNY students have just taken their graduate library and renamed it ‘The Al Aqsa University library’ in honour of what was the oldest public university in Gaza before it was destroyed by the occupation along with all the other universities in Gaza. The pro Palestine student protesters demands remain unchanged as they highlight CUNY’s complicity in Israel’s genocide on Gaza.

🚨 Activists in Brussels, Belgium have besieged and barricaded the zionist embassy. Belgian police are violently attempting to take down the barricades.

🚨University of California Office of the President Attacked - Read the action statement (2/2) ...The University does not simply fund Israel, it creates Israel, and launches this white-colony into the post-modern Empire. What does divestment mean when the very essence and foundation of the institution is a fascist regime? Where does Zionism begin and end in the University of California? Is divestment an oxymoron? The UC must be abolished. The "working-class" public colleges are not safe from critique (nor attack). Some of the resulting encampments have established themselves as outposts of nonprofits and NGOs -loyal only to funders; moved by professional partnerships and personal brands. Revolutionary struggle and its legacies have been co-opted, deradicalized, and professionalized through identity-driven liberal pedagogies. By teaching a revisionist history that renders liberation movements compatible with capitalism, university-deputized counterinsurgents erase and demonize militant forms of struggle while smugly promoting an inert philosophy of nonviolence and respectability. This is one of many reasons why, although divestment is a valid and tangible baseline demand, our long-term focus should not be on reforming and reaffirming these institutions, but rather on resource expropriation and fucking them up irreparably. Across Bay Area university encampments and police-liasoned street mobilizations, escalation is consistently policed by weaponized liberal anti-oppression politics or crushed entirely by the fear of risk. Perpetual hand wringing over what could happen obscures what can be achieved. Attempting to shape a militant movement into something that will never have to contend with repression is to abandon the pursuit of revolutionary ends. The attack on UCOP began with an ask: how can political analysis be articulated through attack? An effective operation begins with the needs of the struggle, the goals of the cadre, and its limitations. Threat assessments should remain realistic and specific to the actions being carried out. Within the American empire, what is solidarity with the Mujahideen of Palestine and militant student movements if not shapeshifting into a political fighting force? We join the chorus calling for escalation in the imperial core: escalate, escalate, escalate! This is our historical and spiritual duty. To not hold this as truth is to give up and accept defeat, hoping someone else will do what it takes to disrupt the flow of capital into the settler-colonial project. We must bring the war home. “Let them do their work because there is a manhood in that work which we will one day transform into holy struggle, and as long as the colonizer wants to kill our souls, these people are closer to God and to the love of holy struggle than are those who submit.” - Sheikh Izz ad-Din al-Qassam For the children of Gaza For the martyrs With eternal revolutionary spirit Break open the gates - sacred black and red

🚨University of California Office of the President Attacked - Read the action statement (1/2): "The beginning of every revolution is an exit, an exit from the social order that power has enshrined in the name of law, stability, public interest, and the greater good." - Basel al-Araj With the Aurora Borealis above us and the martyrs in our hearts, we attacked the UC Office of the President in solidarity with the Palestinian Resistance. Using a fire extinguisher filled with red paint we covered the facade and smashed seven windows. Then, with access to the building, we released 500 cockroaches inside and emptied a second fire extinguisher onto the interior. We finalized the act by leaving a water jug inscribed with "Bonk" at the scene - an homage to the militants of Cal Poly Humboldt and the international student encampment movement. As anti-colonial anarchists and communists we offer this act of material and spiritual solidarity with the hopes of shattering the illusion that resistance is limited to a single site. As Moten says “THE ONLY POSSIBLE RELATIONSHIP TO THE UNIVERSITY TODAY IS A CRIMINAL ONE”. The University’s true fascist form has been put on full display, and hiding behind hollow progressive ideals is no longer an option for the dead-eyed desk killers. Abolish the UC showed us in 2020 that the University of California is nothing more than a settler colonial project, that their police are protecting the gates of colony, where knowledge is produced and captured by the State to only dig its claws deeper into the flesh of Indigenous lands here and abroad. Let us not forget the UC became co-ed to breed settlers and populate the west coast. Speaking only to the UC's material connection to the Zionist entity obfuscates the extent of the political, theoretical, and cultural entanglements between the UC and the Israeli State... (1/2)
