“(EN) Political exmatriculations are a threat to academic freedom and provide a gateway for discrimination against marginalised and/or dissident students. This is why we are calling on the Berlin Senate to stop the proposed legislation to reinstate exmatriculation as a disciplinary measure in the Berlin Higher Education Act

18.03 Anarchists Target Genocidal Companies in Mitte
[DEUTSCHE ÜBERSETZUNG UNTEN]
In the middle of the night on Sunday, March 17th, anarchists in solidarity with Palestine sprayed red paint on a building of a lobby and arm company contributing to the genocide in Gaza. Here are their words, in a communiqué from an anonymous source. You can find more information on their motivations and the context of palestinian solidarity in Germany below, in an interview given to Unicorn Riots.
“Communique from Autonomous Crew for the Liberation of Palestine (ACLP)
We are heartbroken and infuriated and we won’t back down.
There is a genocide happening in Palestine. There are people and corporations in Berlin directly responsible for this genocide and we won’t ignore that.
In Mitte Berlin, the building Friedrichstr. 60 houses the largest Lobby Group of German Arms Companies called BDSV, as well as the office of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems. ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems makes warships that are being used to attack Gaza from the sea. They have blood on their hands. Now we put it on their front doors.
Germany is Israel’s second biggest arms dealer, supplying 28% of Israel’s weapons. It has increased its weapon exports to Israel by 10 times since October. The mass murder of the people of Gaza is funded by German taxpayers’ money.
All over the world, actions are underway interrupting the running of the imperial war machine. We will not be silent until everyone is safe. We will not stop fighting until everyone is free.
The Intifada is International. Fight back for the lives of Palestinians, for the lives of us all!
Stop the Genocide. End the occupation. Free Palestine.”

17.03 Irish Bloc Solidarity Action NOT IN OUR NAME / NÍ I M’AINMSA St Patrick’s Day 2024
Statement from the organisers of the Not in Our Name solidarity action on 17th March 2024 Part I: History of colonisation as the crux of solidarity between Ireland and Palestine ♣️
“We stand here today because we understand the responsibility placed upon us by our history as a colonized people – to demonstrate our solidarity with those facing crushing subjugation and sheer annihilation; and to refuse to serve as another cog in that machine of death, another boot on the neck of the Palestinian people.
We have learned something that Joe Biden – Butcher Biden – has never bothered to internalize – to the great shame of our common ancestors.
We take inspiration from the collective action of principled Irish musicians in recent days, who have borne the brunt of standing up for the Palestinian people, where our craven and sycophantic elected officials have so transparently failed.
As Irish emigrants we take the charge set forth by the Irish Artists for Palestine who are today calling for a boycott of the White House shamrock ceremony. We are among those who refute what this tradition symbolizes: this defanged idea of Irishness; this mawkish, misty-eyed sentimentality; and this utter detachment for the chillingly cynical purposes of Realpolitik. The current Irish, German, and American governments seem to value the latter above all – but we dissent. We will not adhere to the culture of silence here in Germany.
In our marrow, we know all too well the searing pain and cruelty of weaponised starvation, brutal landgrabs, scorched earth tactics, indiscriminate executions, and the wholesale slaughter of human beings, committed by supposedly civilized people, while supposedly civilized people look on.
We are – as our seer Growler has said many times before – fite fuaite. Our fates are deeply intertwined with those of the Palestinian people.
In our words and in our deeds, we pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living.” Continue reading 17.03 Irish Bloc Solidarity Action NOT IN OUR NAME / NÍ I M’AINMSA St Patrick’s Day 2024

14.03 Intervention at BG Klinikum hosting war criminal Elon Glassman
“On March 14th the BG Klinikum in Berlin invited IOF brigadiere general Elon Glassman to hold a lecture about maintaining hospitals in war zones. What is it about Germany, that war criminals are being invited to hold panels and give lectures while killing thousands of innocent people criminalizing pro Palestinian voices. Brave activists did not remain silent and gave a lecture to the hospital that hosted the event. NO STAGE FOR WAR CRIMINALS.
FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸✊🏽”
13.03. DOXING IS NOT JOURNALISM
SOLIDARITY DEMO AGAINST THE TAGESSPIEGEL
Independent activists demand journalistic integrity for Palestinians in Gaza and Berlin by holding a demonstration at the Tagesspiegel Headquarters on March 13, 2024. The Tagesspiegel has been smearing pro-palestinian activists, putting the lives of comrades at risk, and denying that there’s a genocide happening in Gaza. Journalists from the Tagesspiegel are trying to convince people that there is no pro Palestinian movement in Berlin. This demonstration showed them they are wrong
