While Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian population continues on a horrific scale, with the support from Western accomplices – especially from Germany, numerous protest demonstrations and actions of civil disobedience against the genocide are being attacked by the german cops with bloody violence and comrades are already being charged for just shouting slogans.
When a state brutally attempts to crush all pacifist means of protest and civil disobedience and covers them with massive repression and criminalisation in order to continue to legitimise support for the actor of the murderous violence – that is Israel and it’s allies and war profit makers – as „Deutsche Staatsräson” (“german reason of state”), it is understandable that protesters turn to more creative and effective ways of protesting and that more and more people see that as appropriate or at least don’t condemn it.
In Germany, too, there have therefore been more and more targeted direct actions against weapons and surveillance technology companies and the offices of various German parties since the end of 2023.
Recently, “Palestine Action” also began its first actions in Germany. The “Palestine Action” network is internationally known for its continuous and increasingly spectacular actions against the war electronics company Elbit and banks in the UK.
