Anarchists and socialists unite against the repression & injustice in Manchester
Come and join the picket. | 26.02.2005 02:53 | Anti-racism | Indymedia | Repression | London
At least 25 Anarchists and Socialists travelled up today from London, Brighton and Birmingham to unite against police repression and loss of civil liberty's in Manchester.
People from the international solidarity movement, Israeli's and Palestinians.
People from the Palestine solidarity campaign, Anarchist networks and Socialists have travelled up today to speak out against injustice going on in Manchester, the right to protest and the National Boycott against the state of Israel and in particular Marks and Spencers and also the right wing wing Zionism which comes to the peaceful pickets outside Manchester Marks and spencers.
Facism comes in many forms and doesnt just take the form of Blackshirts or boots and skinheads, right wing Zionism is clearly another form of Facism.
We are sick of hearing the stories about this particular protest and in particular the police repression.
Why do supporters of Palestine in Manchester do you not come on the picket, cant you put aside your issues and help in the Boycott of Israel.
We have travelled the breadth of the country today to stand in solidarity with the picket, we have Israeli's and Palestinians and members from most of the leading groups which stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine.
The picket starts at 12 at M&S on market street.

Absolute bullshit! Israel is a multi-racial country with a secular constitution and the same democratic freedoms as in the west. For example 20 per cent of Israels' population are from ethnic minorities. Why not visit Israel for your self and you will see that it is a free and open country with some of the friendliest people on earth.
Holiday maker just back from Israel
Hey holiday maker from Israel.

Israel is hierarchical and an exploitative country, if you come from a certain group life is a holiday, hoiday maker, if you dont then life is shite.
Go near to the bus station in Tel aviv and you will see fillipino sex workers ruthlessly exploited.
Go to a Moshav and you will see people from eastern Europe again ruthlessly exploited and made to work their ass'es off for peanuts, ive worked on one of these places.
If you work in Israel as a foreign worker you have to sign a form to say that you wont practice your own religion in Israel and that you wont engage in sexual relations with Israeli people, if you break this agreement you are faced with deportation and you have to pay for this immediate deportation.
Hmm.. doesnt sound like Europe, Israel seems to have a selective democracy for "a chosen few"
Ring a bell? ding ding.

An article where someone uses the words "anarchist" and "socialist" without stereotyping anyone. Good.
A number of my friends are socialists, I self decribe as an anarchist (or anti-authoritarian if that sounds too elitist) and all of the socialists I know are good, hard-working, committed, tolerant and intelligent people.
No more flame wars, please!

more has to be made of the shared anti-capitalist aims of anarchists and socialists. socialism - redistribution of wealth - without hierarchical or discriminatory organising. is that a possibility?

Is this the sort of bullshit they are teaching you now at the BNP / Intifada Support Group ? For those of us who have been to Israel this sort of crap does nothing to educate people about the situation there - get back to your facsist wanking.
So sad it's not funny
Rightwingnut Zionists are just misunderstood peace-loving folk, honest!

Perhaps because we prefer to work toward solving the problems of the region and not associating ourselves with little disguised antisemitism dressed up a support for Palestinians. The cause of Palestinian freedom is being used as a front and we want nothing to do with you and your means.
End ALL Fash
M&S picket is NOT ANTI SEMTIC

The reason people, such as the PSC and JfJfP are scared of confronting those that attack us. Those that attack us are racists, even with on openly admiting that they are racist after saying "kill all the palestinian barstards"
so, who are the racists now!!!
Victory to the oppressed people of Palestine!
