Appel à manifester contre le G7
De Gaza à Jérusalem : Solidarité avec la Palestine
70 ans de colonisation et d’occupation ! 70 ans de résistance !
Le vendredi 30 mars 2018, les forces de défense israéliennes ont brutalement assassiné 19 Palestinien.ne.s et en ont blessé plus de 1 400 à Gaza au cours d’une manifestation pacifique, la marche du retour, qui prévoit des rassemblements et campements durant six semaines à la frontière Israël-Gaza pour réclamer le droit au retour (al-awda) des Palestinien.e.s chassé.e.s de leurs terres ou ayant fui lors de la guerre qui a suivi la création d’Israël le 14 mai 1948.
Tadamon! rejoint la Journée mondiale d’action pour un Monde sans Murs suite à l’appel d’organisations en Palestine et au Mexique.
Près de 70 murs sur tous les continents permettent le contrôle de l’État. Ils déchirent la vie et les terres des gens – niant leur liberté de mouvement, et augmentant la violence d’État, causant des milliers de morts chaque année. Les murs fortifient les frontières, séparent les riches des pauvres, et les puissants des opprimés. Ce sont des monuments d’expulsion, d’exclusion et d’exploitation. Le 9 Novembre marque le quinzième anniversaire du début de la construction du mur d’apartheid en Israël, destiné à annexer jusqu’à 60 % de la Cisjordanie et d’encercler les Palestiniens sur 13 % de leur territoire.
Houda et Dror aborderont la scène politique en France, quelques semaines après la tuerie du journal Charlie Hebdo. Dror apportera un regard critique sur l’évolution des relations entre Charlie Hebdo, la gauche française et l’islamophobie. Houda présentera l’enjeu de l’islamophobie en France et comment les nouvelles mesures “anti terroristes” affectent les droits de tou.te.s, mais en particulier ceux des personnes les plus marginalisées et racialisées, arabes et musulmanes.

Tadamon! Stands in Solidarity with Brooklyn College Students for Justice in Palestine
Statement of Support for Brooklyn College Students for Justice in Palestine:
We Condemn Attacks Against Advocates for BDS and Palestinian Rights!
We deplore the efforts of politicians and others to bully student activists and faculty and to smear supporters of boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) against Israel as anti-Semites.
In recent days, opponents of an event on BDS to be held on campus February 7th have attacked the organizers and scheduled speakers, internationally renowned philosopher Judith Butler and Palestinian human rights activist Omar Barghouti, as well as the political science department and university administration for co-sponsoring the event. This is just the latest in a series of incidents involving attempts to silence criticism of Israel at Brooklyn College.
Opponents of the February 7 event have made deeply offensive and inflammatory accusations against supporters of BDS, with State Assemblyman Alan Maisel going so far as to warn of “the potential for a second Holocaust here.” Other prominent critics include lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who has openly called for the United States and Israel to use torture, and State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, a follower of the late Meir Kahane, an Israeli-American rabbi whose racist Kach movement has been outlawed by the US and Israel as a terrorist organization for advocating the expulsion of Palestinians from Israel and the occupied territories and for carrying out violent terrorist attacks against Palestinians and others.
It is outrageous and perverse to conflate BDS proponents and our stance in support of equal rights and freedom for Palestinians with anti-Semitism and Nazism. Contrary to the claims of these detractors, the BDS movement is an inclusive, nonviolent, civil society-led campaign whose goal is to pressure Israel into respecting Palestinian human rights and abiding by international law, in the absence of action on the part of the US government and international community to do so. It is comprised of people of all faiths and backgrounds, including many Israeli and American Jews. Leaders of the BDS movement have always rejected and condemned any and all forms of racism and bigotry, including anti-Semitism. As SJP-BC’s mission statement says, we “reject any form of hatred or discrimination against any religious or ethnic group.”
As supporters of Palestinian rights and of academic freedom and free speech on campus, we commend Brooklyn College President Karen Gould for showing leadership and not succumbing to pressure from bullies like Dershowitz and Hikind, who seek to suppress criticism of Israel by smearing advocates of Palestinian freedom and equality as bigots.
For nearly 65 years, Palestinians have been dispossessed, colonized, and denied the most basic of human rights and freedoms by Israel. For more than 45 years, they have endured a brutal and illegal Israeli military occupation that becomes more entrenched each day. Today 66 to 69 percent of the 11.6 million Palestinians are refugees, the survivors and descendants of the approximately 750,000 Palestinians who were ethnically-cleansed during Israel’s creation in 1948, are prevented from exercising their internationally-recognized right of return to the land and homes they were expelled from simply because they are not Jewish, while those Palestinians who remained inside Israel after 1948, who make up about 20% of the population today, face widespread institutionalized discrimination and are treated as second- or third-class citizens. As the international community looks on and does nothing to hold Israel accountable for its actions, global civil society is taking the lead with BDS.
In light of the attacks, we pledge our continued support to SJP’s efforts to educate the public about Israel’s grave and systematic abuses of Palestinian human rights and the racist, apartheid regime Israel has instituted in the territories it controls between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

Marquez vos calendriers! Le 9ième évènement annuel contre l’apartheid israélien aura lieu le 6 au 13 mars à Montréal.
No matter how it unfolds, the Egyptian revolution will go down in the history books as a defining moment in the 21st century. Millions of Egyptians brought down one of the world’s most repressive regimes, that of the U.S.-backed Hosni Mubarak, in just 18 days. Their bravery, perseverance, and tactfulness in the face of the regime’s brutal crackdown not only triggered uprisings across the Arab world but inspired and influenced protests against government austerity in the U.S., Spain, Portugal, and Greece. Despite the fact that it is only a few months old, it’s important to begin piecing together a people’s history of the revolution to convey what happened and how it happened so that the lessons from this critical struggle can be disseminated.
