Schmob: a pro-palestinian flash mob that surreptiously erupts and breaks into riotous chaos

A few hundred protestors hide, well dispersed across a plaza in Neukölln. Everything looks normal, Berliners drinking beer in the park, people walking their dogs. Someone suddenly shouts “From the River to the Sea” and from dozens of locations, people emerge towards each other, putting kuffieyeh’s over their heads and responding “Palestine will be free.” In a matter of seconds, we are hundreds blocking the busy street. Pretty soon there will be fireworks, dumpsters lit, and barricades built all across the neighborhood. We do this night after night, becoming more dangerous every time.

Neukölln is home to one of the largest Palestinian populations outside of the Middle East. It is full of arabs and gentrifying hipsters. There are Continue reading 22.05 Flashmob Riots as a Tactic for Free Palestine on the Streets of Neukölln →

Thousands of demonstrators commemorate Nakba Day and denounce the expulsion of Palestinians in 1948

from Juedische Stimme: “Yesterday we marched together with tens of thousands of people commemorating and fighting the ongoing Nakba. This was the first Nakba Demo that could take place in Berlin after several years of criminalization. The arbitrary arrests of people wearing Kuffiyeh around Hermannplatz is a practice that the Berlin police department had established around the criminalization of the Nakba commemoration already years ago. This years Nakba demo in Berlin was powerful and essential for the struggle. Free Palestine and may the exiled return soon!”

Repression update: Police carry out brutal attacks on protestors, beat many people up, several arrests, pepper spray the crowds, taking away the lauti (sound system and microphone). The police violence at such a big weekend demonstration is extreme Continue reading 18.05 Nakba Demo →

Friedrichshain: Mobi-Graffiti & Stencils für NAKBA-DEMO 18.5. 14:00 O-Platz

Author: anonym

“In mehreren Kiezen von Berlin-Friedrichshain tauchen vermehrt Pro-Palästina-Parolen und Stencils an den Wänden und auf den Gehwegen auf. In vielen Stadtteilen Berlins ist es schon Normalität geworden; und Kreuzberg, Wedding und vor allem Neukölln sind sicherlich die unangefochtenen Hochburgen der antikolonialen Wandpropaganda für die Freiheit von Palästina und gegen den Genozid.

Doch jetzt im Vorfeld des NAKBA-Tag (15.5.) rücken die Szenestadtteile von Friedrichshain verstärkt auf – mit Stencils, Graffiti und Plakatierungen, Continue reading 15.05 Anon Report about Graffiti and Stencil Mobilisation for Nakba-Day →
