@Samidoun_Network on the "ceasefire" negotiations: There has now been well over a year of fake "ceasefire" shenanigans from the US, the Zionist entity and the Arab reactionary regimes. This was always the danger of making the main focus on the term "ceasefire," rather than the relevant demand of "ending the genocide." For the past week, we have witnessed a spectacle that has nothing to do with ending the genocide (nor, for that matter, a ceasefire) and is meant to do nothing more except toy with the sentiments and needs of a people undergoing genocide and being starved. The end of the genocide -- at least the portion of the genocide in Gaza -- can only be obtained by pressuring the Zionist regime. Instead, all of the pressure is being directed at the Palestinian resistance, which is not being careless and is seeking to protect their people. ...The Palestinian resistance is clearly the only responsible, serious party in any of these negotiations, the only party seeking to end the genocide, and the only party concerned with ending the starvation, the bombings and the mass killings of Palestinians.

— 🇯🇵/🇵🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: Yesterday marked the 53rd anniversary of the Japanese Red Army's attack at Ben Gurion Airport (then Lod Airport) in Tel Aviv Kōzō Okamoto, Tsuyoshi Okudaira, and Yasuyuki Yasuda, three Japanese students and members of the Japanese Red Army, coordinated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) for the attack, having trained in Lebanon. The operation resulted in the death of Aharon Katzir, brother of Israel's fourth president, Ephraim Katzir, among others. Kōzō Okamoto (No. 7 in Image 6), the only surviving attacker, was captured and released after 13 years in the same prisoner exchange that freed Hamas founder Ahmed Yassin in 1985. @Middle_East_Spectator

Deir Yassin: A brutal massacre carried out by zionist death squads in 1948 indelibly etched into the collective consciousness of all Palestinians. Deir Yassin is why we resist—to reclaim our stolen village and avenge the blood of our martyrs. Throughout the storied history of Palestinian resistance, heroes vowed revenge in the name of Deir Yassin: resistance fighters killed 77 zionists in an operation four days after the 1948 massacre, the Deir Yassin Unit of Arab resistance fighters carried out an operation that killed 40 settlers under the command of martyr Dalal Al-Mughrabi in 1978, and the Deir Yassin Operation of 1972 was an internationalist feat of anti-imperialist resistance that shook the world. The Deir Yassin Operation was launched 53 years ago today. Three Japanese comrades—Bassem, Salah, and Ahmed—joined forces with five Palestinian comrades to strike the zionist entity at its heart. Their real names were Tsuyoshi Okudaira, Yasuke Yasuda, and Kozo Okamoto, and they were members of the Japanese Red Army, which received weapons, training, and finances from the PFLP. They had trained in Lebanon, and all were students: Bassem of architecture, Salah of electrical engineering, Ahmed of botany, and all of revolution. Their location of choice was the so-called "Lod Airport" (now "Ben-Gurion Airport") in occupied Al-Lydd. Known as quiet men, they quietly arrived from Paris at 10 PM, waited for their luggage—violin cases loaded with weapons, ammunition, and explosives—and carried out their revolutionary duty. By the time they were done with their operation, 26 zionists were left dead on the ground and 80 were wounded. Five Palestinian comrades fired outside the airport in support. Bassem was martyred after he ran out of ammunition, Salah blew himself up in a revolutionary act, and Ahmed (Kozo) went on to become a revolutionary icon after spending 13 years in solitary confinement in the zionist prisons. In interrogation, Kozo declared that the operation was part of the global revolution against zionism and imperialism. He and the masterful tactician Dr. Wadie Haddad had planned it. In the attached video, PFLP founder Bassam Abu Sharif claims the operation on behalf of the PFLP, stating that it is a continuation of the PFLP's line of "attacking the enemy wherever it hurts most" in reference to Wadie Haddad's slogan "behind the enemy in every place." After brutal psychological and physical torture, Kozo was freed in 1985 in the Ahmed Jibril prisoner exchange, and he went on to live his life in asylum in Lebanon after a troublesome period. Kozo was interviewed years later; he stated that he had hoped to be martyred during the operation, and when asked if he regretted anything: "I had no choice but to open fire in the name of armed struggle." Five weeks after the operation, the Mossad assassinated PFLP leader Ghassan Kanafani and his 17-year-old niece Lamees in Beirut in retribution for the Deir Yassin Operation. When the day comes, we will tell you Ghassan's story. Glory to the glorymakers, the internationalist revolutionaries who upheld the promise of resistance and global revolution. The echoes of Deir Yassin's pain are reflected in the bullets of our comrades, the internationalist fighters united against imperialism who pledged to keep the memories of the martyrs and usurped villages alive. The struggle for Palestinian liberation and the fight against zionism everywhere transcends borders. With every stone thrown, every bullet fired, and every zionist weapons company dismantled, our resistance honors our martyrs and struggle with every act of defiance until our lands are liberated of zionism and freed, from the river to the sea. We will never forget Deir Yassin, and we will never forget the bravery of those who committed themselves to liberation by any means necessary. Remember Deir Yassin. Remember our heroes. For this—our joint struggle—is the legacy of Deir Yassin and our inheritance.

🔴 Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine: — From Japan to Yemen to Palestine… the revolution continues Memory from history: The Lydd Airport Operation — 30 May 1972 Today marks 53 years since the heroic Lydd Airport operation, carried out by a squad from the Japanese Red Army in full coordination and planning with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Khaled Barakat: "The operation carried out by the feda’i Elias Rodriguez was not a passing event or an act isolated from the current political and strategic context. Rather, it marked a pivotal moment in clarifying positions and exposing contradictions—especially in the international arenas where solidarity movements with the Palestinian people are active. Occurring amid one of the fiercest phases of the genocidal war waged by the Zionist entity against the Gaza Strip for more than twenty months, the operation was a natural and legitimate response to this brutal aggression and an echo of the voice of resistance that remains alive and deeply rooted in the conscience of free peoples. The revolutionary intellectual and martyr Ghassan Kanafani (1936–1972) was the foremost theorist of revolutionary violence in confronting imperialism and Zionism. Kanafani’s link to armed struggle was not romantic but was tightly bound to his political thought, his convictions, and the approach whose logical and moral coherence he defended until the moment of his martyrdom. This practical, organic connection was among the chief reasons for his assassination. Kanafani also waged an unrelenting intellectual struggle against those—whether Palestinians, Arabs, or others—who opposed “external operations.” The author of the dictum “behind the enemy everywhere” continually affirmed, up to the moment of his assassination, that there is neither separation nor contradiction between the actions of the fedayeen in Palestine and across its borders and “external operations,” so long as the political strategy is unified and the enemy is one. Has the enemy camp changed today? Have its colonial policies changed, or have they grown even more savage? Rodriguez’s heroic operation clarified that the “solidarity movement” with the Palestinian people is not a single current or unified vision, but rather a mixture of diverse forces: some believe in the path of resistance and the liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea, while others have positioned themselves within liberal frameworks that confine the conflict to human rights discourse and the diplomatic arena, and practically call for what is termed the “two-state solution” as the only viable horizon for the Arab-Zionist conflict. This divergence is not new. It reflects the political and ideological contradictions that have always accompanied international solidarity movements, from the Algerian revolution to the support movements for the struggles in Vietnam, South Africa, Ireland, and others. In fact, it also reveals internal Palestinian contradictions—but that is a longer discussion… At the heart of this complex picture lies the importance of Rodriguez’s operation. It was not only a security challenge to the U.S. security apparatus but also held up a mirror reflecting the reality of positions: who truly stands with the resistance, and who hides behind general slogans to promote a vision oscillating between nihilism and surrender. Many speak of “the Palestinian people’s right to resist,” yet they reject any actual, conscious practice of this right if it steps outside the bounds of discourse acceptable in the West, a discourse that often translates into calls for compromises and political concessions, foremost among them the promotion of the “two-state solution” and a “peace” that entails recognition of the Zionist entity’s legitimacy and the surrender of Palestine—and of our minds as well. Conversely, there are those who stood firmly and clearly with the resistance, not only as a theoretical concept, but as practical action grounded in the principles of liberation, return, and the rejection of the occupation’s legitimacy. These are the natural extension of Palestinian liberation movements around the world, who view the Palestinian struggle as part of a global front against colonialism, racism, and predatory and brutal capitalism. For this reason, we are witnessing the advance of radical labor, youth, student, and women’s forces, while the trend of “conditional solidarity” is in retreat."

🔻BREAKING: Activists leave a message ("MAERSK SHIPS GENOCIDE," "EMPLOYEES MUST WASH HANDS," "PLEASE KEEP DOOR CLOSED") on a shipping container in Downtown Oakland for Maersk... "We know that when any entity -- whether capitalist, colonialist, imperialist -- has many faces and exists in many places simultaneously, we must act from many places to counter it, cutting into their margins and stopping up their machinery by staging a thousand inconveniences... Can you imagine the world where every shipment of weapons is no longer? We're dreaming of that world [7][8][9][10]. In the meantime, we will go for the pockets and public image of every greedy war profiteer and genocidal pig that lines their wallets with murder. Until all Palestinians return to their homelands, until the life of every martyr is honored, until all prisoners (political and otherwise) are free."

"Calls to defend the perpetrator of the Washington attack" - Al-Risalah Net - Gaza Palestinian news outlet reports on the FREE ELIAS RODRIGUEZ support statement: Calls are growing by activists, students, and grassroots movements to defend Latin American activist Elias Rodriguez (30 years old), accused of carrying out an operation against Israeli diplomatic representatives in Washington, D.C., which Rodriguez described as "a cry against the ongoing genocide in Gaza." According to a statement circulating among activists and organizations in the United States, Rodriguez views his operation as "a decisive declaration that silence is no longer possible." He believes that targeting the Israeli diplomatic infrastructure comes in response to "the direct role it plays in providing political and legal cover for the war crimes committed against the Palestinian people." The statement indicated that this act must be understood in its political and moral context, stating: "What Rodriguez did falls at the intersection of the legal and moral obligation to stop genocide, in light of the failure of Western countries to take any effective measures to stop what is happening in Gaza." The statement adds that international law, despite being formulated according to the standards of the international system led by powers, Imperialism, however, "imposes an obligation to stop genocide, even through the use of force," and that "when states fail to fulfill this duty, the responsibility falls on free peoples, including resistance movements." At the same time, observers expect US authorities to seek the maximum sanctions against Rodriguez, including the death penalty, as has happened in similar cases. The statement's authors believe that "turning Rodriguez into a distorted symbol aims to instill fear among those in solidarity and prevent them from taking positions that go beyond symbolic protests." The statement concluded by calling for the broadest campaign of solidarity with Elias Rodriguez, warning that "silence represents further acquiescence to the system of impunity and contributes to the burial of the living revolutionary memory of resistance against genocide and occupation," according to the statement.

Death to the capitalist's pigs, who enforce white terror at gunpoint. Let there be ten thousand Rodney Hintons!

FREE ELIAS RODRIGUEZ: BUILD THE INTERNATIONAL POPULAR CRADLE OF RESISTANCE — Free Elias Rodriguez Organizing Committee [Excerpts of statement]...the operation conducted by Elias Rodriguez against israel’s diplomatic functionaries in Washington DC—people actively engaged in facilitating this comprehensive violence across the globe by creating the diplomatic space to continue and deepen it—was, by his own account, a declaration of ENOUGH! To paraphrase a great revolutionary, protest is when we say “we don’t like this”, resistance is when we put an end to what we don’t like. To be clear, what we are asserting is more than a recognition that the violence and oppression meted out by the zionist movement will inevitably give rise to counter-violence, an indisputable truism. We are saying that such counter-violence is legitimate. It is justice. Elias Rodriguez’s act was fully justified, at that place where legal and moral duties meet. It is clear that international law, which the West itself established and whose institutions are dominated by the interest of these imperialists, establishes a duty to take action to stop genocide, including the use of violence to do so. Under international law, this duty is assigned to states—it is not for non-state actors to assert. But what of the case where no Western state has taken sufficient action to stop the devastation, where a genocide occurs in front of everyone’s eyes, live streamed both in the carnage of Gaza and also in the explicit and implicit admissions of the israeli government and broader zionist movement? In this case, our case, the only actors who dare to impose consequences have been, by the designation of the imperialists themselves, non-state actors, besides Iran. This is the point at which those legal obligations, derogated and left unfulfilled by those responsible to them, fall to the free people of the world to fulfill. Elias Rodriguez exacted a consequence, a mere drop in the bucket of consequences due to the zionist movement and its military garrison of a state. May it redound to teach a lesson and set an example. To finally give pause to the zionists, that there are limits and that impunity will not be permitted, anywhere... The US state will undoubtedly seek the death penalty for his case, as they have with Rodney Hinton Jr. and Luigi Mangione, whose alleged actions also helped to balance the scales of justice. The zionists will make Elias Rodriguez an avatar of our movement, while distorting his and our message, seeking to strike yet more fear, to intimidate us further into silence and hapless, hopeless “protest.” If we allow them to silently kill Elias Rodriguez, if we sit back and watch or allow ourselves to forget his resistance, then they will have also killed a part of our movement, a part of us; that part that yearns for justice against the outrageous and humiliating impunity of this system of genocide and, indeed, biocide. Again, we have no choice but to defend Elias Rodriguez. All the better that his actions are eminently defensible and morally righteous.... FREE ELIAS RODRIGUEZ! FREE THEM ALL!
