‘Stop the Genocide!’ Venezuelan Social Movements Rally in Solidarity with Palestine

from thefreeonline March 5, 2024 by Andreína Chávez Alava, at Venezuela Analysis/

The march in Caracas’ 23 de Enero barrio condemned the backing of the USA in the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza.

Caracas, March 2, 2024, venezuelanalysis.com – Venezuelan social movements united with millions worldwide to protest in solidarity with Palestine, calling for an immediate halt to the US-backed Israeli military operations in Gaza.

The demonstration was part of the Global Action Day for Palestine launched by a number of organizations, among them the International Peoples’ Assembly, Progressive International, ALBA Movimientos and La Via Campesina.

The march began at El Panal Commune in Caracas’ 23 de Enero neighborhood, known for its rich history of revolutionary activism, ending with a concentration near the Mountain Barracks, President Hugo Chávez’s resting place and the outpost from where he led the 1992 uprising.

Caracas’ action was organized by the Alexis Vive Patriotic Force and communards from El Panal Commune with the Solidarity Platform with the Palestinian Cause, while the ruling United Socialist Party (PSUV) and many other organizations joined the call.

In the rally, Hindu Anderi, a Lebanese-Venezuelan journalist and longstanding Palestinian solidarity activist, criticized multilateral organizations for their failure to halt the genocide in Gaza. She called to create new organizations that respond to people’s demands and address global injustices.

The activist went on to add that under international law Palestinians have the right to resist the colonizing entity by any means necessary and encouraged people across the world to stand with Palestine in order to fight against rising fascism.

“What the people of Palestine are doing is comparable to what the Soviet Union did during World War II. They are stopping the new fascist wave! Palestine is fighting for its independence from a colonial regime that oppresses it,” Anderi told the crowd.

Painting the Eyes of War on the Buddha

In many traditions, when you paint or sculpt a Buddha, the eyes are the very last to be painted. It’s only after the eyes have been completed that the sculpture is fully alive and empowered.

The US has just approved a $75 million weapons package to Taiwan province involving the sale of the Link 16 communications system.

The acquisition of Link 16 is analogous to “painting the eyes on the Buddha”: a last touch, it makes Taiwan’s military systems and weapons platforms live and far-seeing. It confers deadly powers, or more prosaically, in the words of the US military, it completes Taiwan as the final, lethal link of the multilateral coalition kill chain against China

Deliberate Nuclear Use in a War over Taiwan: Scenarios and Considerations for the United States.

What exactly is Link 16? Link 16 is a key system in the US military communications arsenal. Specifically, it is the jam-resistant tactical data network for coordinating NATO weapons systems for joint operations in war.

El 25 de febrero, Aaron Bushnell se prendió fuego a la puerta de la embajada de Israel en Washington, DC como acto de protesta contra el genocidio en curso de los palestinos en Gaza.

Críticos hostiles han intentado restar importancia a la acción de Aaron como consecuencia de una enfermedad mental. Por el contrario, la elección de Aaron fue una acción política que surgió de sus profundas convicciones anarquistas. En la siguiente colección, compartimos el propio resumen de Aaron sobre su política, seguido del testimonio de tres de sus amigos cercanos.

Un altar en honor a la vida de Aaron, en una vigilia que sus amigos realizaron en su memoria el 27 de febrero.

Como Aaron les contó a sus camaradas en un grupo de ayuda mutua en San Antonio, creció en un enclave blanco conservador muy cristiano en Cape Cod. Tenía 18 años cuando Donald Trump fue elegido; se unió a la Fuerza Aérea en 2019. Mientras estuvo en la Fuerza Aérea, llegó a la política anarquista a través de un proceso de autoeducación.

Hablamos con Levi Pierpont, objetor de conciencia y amigo de #AaronBushnell, quien afirma que la muerte de su amigo no fue un suicidio, sino que dio su vida “para llamar la atención de la gente sobre el genocidio que está ocurriendo en #Palestina”. https://t.co/uxVRZLbtXx

En febrero de 2023, Aaron preparó un documento destinado a ayudar a este grupo a ser más cohesionado. Como nos dijo otro participante del grupo, “Aaron buscó formalizar y madurar algunos de nuestros métodos de organización, y sintió que tener una discusión profunda y abierta era un primer paso crucial para generar confianza a largo plazo. Creó una lista de preguntas como una forma para que nuestro heterogéneo grupo de zurdos que se ayudan mutuamente iniciaran una conversación entre ellos”.
