‘Shocked, devastated’: Israel’s Gaza City assault traumatises residents

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have fled Gaza City since Israel launched its major assault but many remain trapped, too exhausted or too poor to leave.

“Death is more merciful,” said Mohammed Nassar, 38, of the Tal al-Hawa area, watching a steady stream of neighbours leave.

Families could be seen leaving with their belongings piled on trucks, cars, donkey carts, and their own shoulders.

Nassar, caring for three daughters, said he lacked both the strength and money to move, leaving him trapped in Gaza City. “As for me, my wife and my three daughters, we will wait until the last moment,” he said.

“The occupation wants to forcibly displace everyone so it can destroy Gaza City and turn it into another Beit Hanoon or Rafah – unlivable for the next 100 years,” Nassar said.

Displaced Palestinians move with their belongings southwards on a road in the Nuseirat refugee camp area in the central Gaza Strip on September 20, 2025, as Israel presses its ground offensive to capture Gaza City.

WATCH: Recognising Palestinian statehood seen as a major shift in British foreign policy

The UK is preparing to recognise the state of Palestine after Israel failed to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and commit to a two-state solution.

It is considered a significant shift in British foreign policy.

Anarchist Networks interviews the Magdalena Anarchist Local in Madrid

by  Anarchist Networks (Redes Libertarias)  translation  thefreeonline https://wp.me/pIJl9-Hum   21 Sept 25. Tgrm  t.me/thefreeonline/4273

How and when did the Magdalena Anarchist Local come about? Tell us why Magdalena and how you are connected to the Lavapiés neighborhood where the Local is located.

The origin of the Local stems from a need to bring together various projects. It was born in a CNT space on Magdalena Street, a space that the union had been using since the 1970s.

In the 1990s and 2000s, they shared it with other groups that met there. There came a time when the union no longer participated in the local, and these other groups continued to use it.

To give you an idea, it was a large apartment with several rooms, so each room was used by different projects. From the Anarchist Youth of many years ago to the Anarchopunk Federation, etc., very different collectives without a common project passed through there..

Then, there came a time when the Klinamen publishing house and the Mundo Muerto distribution company also got involved, and projects began to emerge that gave rise to the library as we understand it today.

In 2003, the library was born under the name Biblioteca Social Enoch, then the bookstore, and later the video library and archive. At some point, all these projects were understood as a common project, which is Local Anarquista Magdalena.

We have never been a project directly linked to the neighborhood, although there have been many stages in which we have been.

Ultimately, we are a libertarian space whose strength is that we are in the center of Madrid and it is a meeting place, whether you have come for a book, an assembly, or an activity. We have projected ourselves more as an infrastructure for the city’s collectives than for the neighborhood.

But for several years, we have participated in assemblies against the gentrification of Lavapiés, such as STOP HOTEL (to stop the construction of the IBIS Hotel in Plaza de Lavapiés) and Paremos Hotel Cabestreros (with the intention of stopping the construction of a hotel in Plaza de Cabestreros).

We have also tried to bring the libertarian and anti-prison discourse to the streets by redefining a crossroads between two streets (Calvario and Ministriles), renaming it Plaza de Xosé Tarrio, where we have hosted screenings, talks, and workshops.

https://plazaxosetarrio.noblogs.org/

It has also been influential that the Magdalena assembly has never included anyone who lives in the neighborhood; instead, we have been people who have spent many hours in Lavapiés and have felt it is our neighborhood. Since none of us live in Lavapiés, at specific times, such as the COVID lockdown and the day of the blackout, we were unable to offer or use the space as a neighborhood infrastructure.

Also, due to the gentrification of the neighborhood and the expulsion of neighbors, fewer and fewer of our neighbors are using the space.

Despite these difficulties, we want to be a tool and an infrastructure for the Lavapiés neighborhood, something that can be complicated when we’re not there ourselves in their daily lives. But both the library and the space are available and open to the neighborhood.

In fact, we recently established a very nice collaboration with the “Lavapié Dragons,” where kids come every Tuesday to play chess.

Anti-War Talks in UK/ 20 & 21 Sept /Anarchist Prisoners in Russia

t.me/abc_moscow_en/69   vía  t.me/thefreeonline/4266.     on 19/9/25 https://open.substack.com/pub/mikegilli660290/p/…

On Saturday, September 20, the Anarchist Bookfair will take place in London — one of the main annual events of the anarchist movement in England.

As part of the program, Antti Rautiainen will give a talk titled “Anarchism and Anti-War Resistance in Russia.”
Time: 11:00–12:45

Thousands of Russians continue to resist the invasion of Ukraine. In the first month of protests against the war, 15,000 people were detained.

Anarchist hero Ruslan Sadiki got 29 years jail in May 25 for 2 acts of anti Russian Military Sabotage, without anyone getting hurt. He has dual Italian citizenship and ABC Moscow is supporting him. https://t.me/thefreeonline/4106

Small street actions are still taking place sporadically, though they face harsh repression.

More than 300 people have been imprisoned for anti-war activity, including six anarchists and antifascists.

What are the current anti-war initiatives in Rusia? How can the Russian anti-war movement, operating under ever harsher repression, be supported?

Why has the anti-war movement in Russia so far failed to change the course of the war?

Who are today’s imprisoned anarchists and antifascists in Russia, and how can they be supported?

Antti Rautiainen lived in Russia from 1999 to 2012, until he was deported on charges of “endangering the security of the Russian Federation.”

In Russia, he took part in anarchist initiatives supporting prisoners, as well as other projects such as the Avtonom magazine.

Venue in London: Stage (26 Leake Street)

The next day, on Sunday, September 21, the same talk will take place at the Cowley Club Library in Brighton (address: 12 London Road).
Time: 12:30–14:30

Prisoner Solidarity in Stride: annual 5 km run (or walk!)

Sept 19,25 Cldc.org / Anarchist Black Cross Federation via thefreeonline https://wp.me/pIJl9-Htx <telegram https://t.me/thefreeonline/4261 https://open.substack.com/pu

Running Down the Walls (RDTW) is an annual 5Km run/jog/walk in Nth America organized by the Anarchist Black Cross Federation (ABCF). This powerful community-driven event promotes awareness about political prisoners and prisoners of war in the United States, and fundraises for their essential needs.

In 2025, RDTW is scheduled for September 21st. Confirmed participating cities include Eugene, Portland (OR), Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and Miami.

RDTW is deeply rooted in solidarity: while community members take part outside, prisoners participate from within correctional facilities. Onlookers gather to cheer-on the self-described “non-competitive 5K run/jog/walk/roll.”

.. https://cldc.org/Activist Defense The CLDC represents activists that, in the course of fighting for a better world, are arrested and criminally charged. We believe their courage deserves the best possible defense that can incorporate the political, social, and philosophical motivations of these activists.

The first RDTW took place in 1999. Since then, it has blossomed into an established tradition occurring annually in multiple cities across the country. Funds raised through the event are directed to vital initiatives supporting incarcerated persons – primarily ABCF Warchest, a program founded in 1994 to aid political prisoners.

From September 21st will see the 26th annual Running Down the Walls events happening all over. So far, events have been confirmed in New York, NY, Los Angeles, CA, Eugene, OR, Chicago, IL, Bloomington, IL, Lowell, MA, Portland, OR, and Miami, FL. A Pushing Down the Walls event (burpee contest) will also be taking place on November 8th in Southern California.

Since 1999, prisoners and supporters throughout North America have participated in the annual event known as Running Down the Walls (RDTW) often running or walking simultaneously in many cities and prisons at once. Many places will be hosting the 26th annual RDTW on or around Sunday, September 21th, 2025 – stay tuned to our blog for more details from all of the locations participating this year!

This is a non-competitive 5K run/jog/walk/roll to raise awareness and funds for political prisoners. Over the years, we have raised thousands of dollars and lots of awareness around the struggle to free political prisoners.

Running Down the Walls is an annual event that happens in many cities across North America. It is an anti-competitive 5K (run, walk, roll, or just hang out) to raise money for political prisoners. In 2024, BABC had our second ever RDTW and it was a huge success! https://bloomingtonabc.noblogs.org/rdtw25/

Bait and switch- ‘Antifa’ ban another step to criminalize anti-genocide action-

On 18 Sept 25 thefreeonline https://wp.me/pIJl9-Ht5

on Telegam..https://t.me/thefreeonline/4248

Of course Antifa is not an organisation as such but an idea, or an inspiring morality based on direct action.

Because fascists don’t listen to reason. In fact historically they seek to abolish our access to reason by seizing dictatorial power under the guise of irrational rightwing public hysteria..

Trump’s style of populist bullying of minorities and non citizens constantly needs hate victims to rally support, just as Hitler got power abusing gays, foreigners and Jews. (-Only now the Jewish Regime is on the side of Trump).

By now the US police are highly militarized, linked into the arms economy and directed by a paranoic Deep State obsessed with controlling the population, as well as stealing dwindling resources and maintaining its privileges worldwide.

Antifascism for us is a moral human duty. They cannot really ban Antifa because it isnt a Party or Union. But they can jail, repress, deport or just kill us, along with trans kids, and rebellious blacks and women and…you.

They can select or invent a single crime by one of us, cover it 24/7, and watch their shares in the bought media grow.

They have cemented their grip on power by lighting up firestorms of hysterical hatred by labelling single actions by an ‘antifa’ a trans’ or any ‘woke’ as a hate crime. Even if its one in a million¡.

“It’s still worth noting: a man they touted as a champion of free speech was assassinated and their response is the suppression of free speech at levels we haven’t seen since the various red scares of the 20th century… ” Margaret Killjoy Sep 17 2025

But what the US zionist rulers also really want is to outlaw and demonise resistance to Israeli Genocide in Palestine.

Militarised victimisation and illegalisation of antifascists, immigrants, etc is an obvious step towards outlawing all criticism of Israel

Despite new laws supporting Israel and a blind eye to Israeli bribery and political blackmail. Despite countless billions of public money given in gifted armaments, the resistance to the mass slaughter of innocents and children still increases.

“Some have gone as far as to warn of the connection with Trump’s recent deployment of National Guard troops to US cities, under the aegis of fighting crime and abetting ICE in their harvest of illegals. They have tied the initiatives into a broader ‘Project Esther’-style commitment to “fight antisemitism” by shielding Israel from any possible criticisms in order to whitewash Israel’s now-indisputable crimes.

For those that don’t know, Project Esther—named after a figure in the Hebrew bible—comes by way of the Heritage Foundation and aims to “dismantle the Hamas network” in the US by labeling anyone criticizing Israel or supporting Palestine as potential ‘terrorists’ and being tied to Hamas.

Tens of Thousands face death as evil Israeli Genocide blitzes Gaza City

+ Statement on the genocide against the Palestinian people |
From CNT-AIT Madrid

via thefreeonline.. https://t.me/thefreeonline/4233

“We declare the strongest support for the Palestinian people in the face of their genocide and the occupation of their territory….”
⬛️🟥 https://madrid.cntait.org/no-al-genocidio-pueblo-palestino/

The Israeli occupation has intensified its bombardment of Gaza City, attacking the Islamic University three times in succession, with the final attack using highly explosive bombs that left dozens of martyrs buried beneath the rubble.

“Israel’s” indiscriminate strikes extended to the Mhanna and Al-Taj Towers, entire residential blocks under so-called “evacuation orders”, and even five UNRWA schools.

In a further escalation, Israeli aircraft destroyed the historic Greek Orthodox School and its church, further highlighting the ethnic cleansing and genocidal nature of the Israeli occupation regime’s war on Gaza.


Watch: https://youtube.com/shorts/plnm3tr-2_g?feature=share
⬛️🟥

Last words…” If I die I Will ask God to stop the war..”

Opposing an ongoing genocide requires no explanation or justification.

They are the ones who are wrong. Make THEM defend their position.

Put THEM on the back foot. Interrogate THEIR agendas.

Cast suspicion on THEIR motives. Call THEM crazy and evil.

Accuse THEM of racism and religious bigotry.

Shout THEM down. Shut  up.

They’re the ones doing something freakish and nefarious, not you.
