On June 5, Members of #Congress introduced the first ever bill that proactively seeks to prevent the U.S. from sending some of the worst weapons to the #Israeli military.

Congresswoman Delia Ramirez (Illinois) along with Representatives Sara Jacobs (California), Pramila Jayapal (Washington), and Mark Pocan (Wisconsin) led 18 other members of #USCongress in introducing the Block the Bombs Act, historic legislation that would prevent #Trump from sending some of the worst-offender weapons that #Israel has used to carry out genocide against #Palestinians in #Gaza.

Tell your member of Congress to join the Block the Bombs Act today.

Ne manquez pas cette occasion de vivre une expérience inoubliable lors de son concert à Paris.

EN FAT - POUR DE VRAI

Le chanteur israélien Eyal Golan, qui a appelé à l’ #extermination des #Gazaouis, doit se produire prochainement en France, sans qu’il soit inquiété par la justice Française

Il avait appelé à «éliminer #Gaza» et à «ne pas laisser âme qui vive là-bas» Maguen David Adom organise un gala à Paris, avec un concert de l’israélien Eyal Golan.

Quelques jours après le 7 octobre, Golan avait appelé à « éliminer Gaza » et « ne pas laisser âme qui vive là-bas ».
Interrogé sur ce qui lui est reproché, le chanteur a répondu par une déclaration laconique :
« Le peuple d’Israël vit » (Am Yisrael Chaï), cri de ralliement traditionnel de la résilience juive et aussi titre de l’hymne de guerre de Golan sorti suite au 7 octobre.
_____

Un chanteur d'extrème-droite qui appelle au génocide palestinien va se produire à Paris dans 13 jours.

Nous n'avons pas besoin du gouvernement, ni du préfet pour interdire cette ordure de propager ses propos de haine.

NOUS allons l'interdire.

NOUS allons prendre en main la lutte antifasciste dans notre ville.

Ils veulent dissoudre #LAJEUNEGARDE, et bien soyons leurs dignes représentants VNR mais organisés.

Ils promettent de remplir le DÔME avec 4.500 fous de dieu, colonialistes,fascistes et génocidaires.

Soyons 45.000 pour les en empêcher.
Ils ne passeront pas.
NO PASARAN.
...même pas pour un concert.

Rien de plus facile que de saboter ce concert.

Venons par petits groupes, de 2, 3, 4 ou 5 (plus çà attire l'attention des porcs, ils sont cons...mais quand même).

Le concert est censé commencé à 21h, les portes ouvreront donc vers 19h30/20h.

À partir de 18h, commençons à nous regrouper, par 2, par 4, par 6.
Et puis restons immobiles, calmes.

Nous serons des centaines de groupes de 8/10, immobiles, donc ne troublant pas l'ordre public.

100 groupes de 10 a l'Est, 100 groupes à l'Ouest, 100 à l(Est et 100 à l'Ouest.

Puis avançons calmement.

Descendons du sud par la rue de Desnouettes, par la rue du Hameau...prenons la rue Vaugirar et la Croix-Nivert vers la porte de Versaille.

Du Nord, donc du périph, remontons direction Le Dôme par les rues de la Porte d'Issy, l'Avenue Ernestc Renan qui débouche tout pile devant le Dôme et la place de la Portye de Vasailles.

De l'ouest, semons les porcs, toujours par groupes d'au minimum 6 à 10 compas.
Semons lespar les rues Félix Faure, Balard, Leblanc.
Ces quartiers sont pleins de petits passages inconnus, des communications entres les tours.

Expliquez auz riverains que vous vous rendez au Dôme pour empêcher un chanteur génocidaire de vomir sa haine contre les palestiniens et ceux qui luttent contre le sionisme.
Vous serez étonnés du nombre de portes qui souvriront devant vous.

Et puis, à l'heure prévue du concert, faisons comme si nous voulions assister au concert.

Bloquons les entrées, soyons (presque) de bonne foi et empêchons les spectateurs avec billets, ou pas, d’accéder aux entrées.

Nous pourrons dire que nous voulons assister au concert, c'est notre droit.
Oui, avec nos keffieh.
Oui, avec des t-shirts palestiniens.
Oui, avec des t-Shirt #UJFP ou #NotInOurName ou #JewishVoiceForPeace

Pas de provocations et pas d’affrontements si nous sommes traités par les porcs avec la même empathie que les aficionados du chanteur qui appelle aux pogroms et aux massacres des palestiniens.

C'est sous le faux prétexte de récolter des fonds pour la Magen David AGOM qu'aura lieu ce concert où "tout le monde est le bienvenu."

Reminiscent of the Israelism documentary https://www.israelismfilm.com/

Conflating Judaism with Israel and Zionism has done a great disservice to Judaism. (Why #JVP #JewishVoiceForPeace & #IfNotNow are so important.) FWIW I’m a boomer Jewish-American who only ever attended public schools, and I and my peers were brainwashed too, via temple, Hebrew school, summer camps. I “de-programmed” myself a while ago. Even some my boomer friends are coming around… finally.

[Full article - is behind a paywall] ‘We will not put up with #ICE’: #Students call for #SanctuaryStatus at #UMaine

By Sofia Langlois on April 14, 2025

A rally for sanctuary campus status at the University of Maine was hosted by Students for a Democratic Society (UMO-SDS) in partnership with #JewishVoiceForPeace (JVP) and Triota Epsilon Psi on April 12 in front of Fogler Library. Despite the rainy weekend, dozens of students showed up with handmade signs demanding protections for international students from deportation at an administrative level.

To create a sanctuary campus status at UMaine, the university would need to enact policies that limit Immigrations Customs Enforcement (ICE) access to campus and student information. It would also include a commitment to “non-cooperation” if asked to aid in a search for undocumented students.
SDS Member Gabriel Veilleux led the demonstration with chants before his speech. Some of these rally cries included “Say it once, say it twice: We will not put up with ICE,” “Money for housing and education, not for war and deportation” and “Black Bears, hear us shout: Sanctuary status now.”

Veilleux described current threats of deportation, arrests and detainment that have the potential to reach UMaine. He, like the other participants, believes that university administration must pass a resolution codifying sanctuary status measures to protect immigrants and international students. Veilleux stands firm that the “attack on one is an attack on all” mentality applies to this situation, insisting that UMaine would fail its entire community by remaining neutral.

“We stand here to send a message that the students of UMaine will never yield to the threats and pressure imposed upon us, that we will be steadfast in our #resistance to the #Trump Administration and that we will do all we can to defend our community from ICE invasions and kidnappings,” said Veilleux.
Triota Member Franny Wilson-Charuk addressed the crowd as a proxy for Cheyanne Goroshin, who was absent. Goroshin expressed that UMaine President Joan Ferrini-Mundy cannot uphold her priority to “promote student success” without protecting vulnerable populations on campus. She also emphasized that international students should not be expected to fight for their rights alone. Their ability to succeed may also impact that of their domestic peers and the functioning of UMaine as a whole.

“How do we ensure the success of students when their peers continue to be picked off the streets and detained? How do we ensure student success when admins can’t guarantee that students will be protected from ICE in all buildings on this campus, and when there is no protocol for protecting students who live off campus?,” said Wilson-Charuk.

Wilson-Charuk went on to list multiple ways in which UMaine can take meaningful action. The first is to increase transparency by publishing a list of every building that is restricted or unrestricted from ICE with an explanation as to why. Secondly, to initiate statements from UMPS that agree to prioritize student safety, even from federal agents. The final and primary action is to establish sanctuary status at UMaine.

SDS Member Morgan Ramsay described two situations where international students were targeted as a result of peaceful #activism.

On March 8, Columbia University Graduate Student #MahmoudKhalil was arrested at his apartment by ICE, despite being a permanent resident with a green card. Khalil helped lead protests against Israel. Awaiting trial, Khalil wrote a letter about the circumstances.

At Tufts University, Turkish Doctoral Student #RumeysaOzturk was detained by masked ICE officers dressed in plain clothes on her way to meet friends for dinner on March 25. Ozturk co-authored an op-ed article showing support for Palestinians in Gaza. She had an F1visa and no criminal allegations, but was accused of Hamas alignment according to Ramsay.

“So far, over 600 international students and recent grads across the US have had their visas revoked by the Trump Administration. Many of these visa cancellations are in response to participation in student-led activism…,” said Ramsay. “The Trump Administration is making our constitutional rights increasingly conditional, especially for those who do not hold citizenship status.”

JVP president Talia Cullum mentioned #HolocaustRemembranceDay, or #YomHaShoah next month in connection to the current political climate. Yom HaShoah means “Day of the Catastrophe” in Hebrew. According to Cullum, the phrase “#NeverAgain,” which most frequently refers to the Holocaust, can be applied to issues that are happening now.

“Never again is now. Never again is here. We don’t want a new #gestapo force coming and picking up our students on our campus,” said Cullum.

Cullum also read “First They Came,” a poem written in 1946 by Pastor Martin Niemöller that is meant to inspire mutual advocacy.

SDS Member Ryan Kennedy shared that one third of immigrants in America are pursuing higher education. He went on to express frustration for federal actions but also for university inaction. Kennedy specifically referenced the Office of Diversity and Inclusion changing its name to the Office for Community and Connections to remove #DEI per the executive order.

“This may be just a name change to some, but what it indicates is fear in the university. When the university is scared, they will turn their back on their students,” said Kennedy. “President Ferrini-Mundy has not made any statements about protections for students, and that is honestly shameful.”

Katelyn Spearrin concluded the speeches by reiterating the rally demands. She insisted that sanctuary status measures must be done prior to harassment from ICE to adequately prepare. Spearrin also thanks participants for their involvement in the cause.

“Everyone who showed up today in support of our international students and staff for the protection of our several vulnerable populations by keeping ICE away from our campus, gaining sanctuary status and advocating for justice, are on the right side of history today,” said Spearrin."

"Come for one, face us all."

from #TheWire
[online publication of #JewishVoiceForPeace #JVP in #USA]

"Desperate to crush popular and growing opposition to #Israel’s genocide, the #Trump regime is shredding our First Amendment rights.

But we’re not backing down. Shortly after Mohsen was arrested, over a thousand Jews and allies gathered for an emergency Passover seder outside ICE headquarters in NYC to demand his and other student activists’ release.

Our message is clear: “Come for one, face us all.”"

#BrunswickME - #EarthDay with #BrunswickPeaceWorks

Tuesday, April 22, 2025
2:00 PM to 4:00 PM

Brunswick Town Mall
191-195 Maine Street
Brunswick, ME, 04011

"Children of all ages are invited to build a symbolic white kite in commemoration of #RefaatAlareer, #Palestinian poet whose poem '#IfIMustDie' inspired our event.

"In his poem he suggests that a child might look up into the sky and see white kites flying there and imagine them to be Angels coming to bring Love back to the Earth.

"And so we connect our passion for #Palestinian lives with the sorrowful need of our Earth for heightened and deepened love from each of us.

"We will close the gathering with a parade, carrying our symbolic kites along the sidewalks of downtown Brunswick.

"We hope to see you there!"
