A UCL activist was able to take part in the Conference of the Palestinian People's Resistance which took place from 24 to 27 October last,
in the Al Farah camp not far from Tubas in the West Bank. The opportunity to take the pulse of civil and non-violent resistance to the
occupation and to strengthen international solidarity. ---- The Conference of the Palestinian Popular Resistance held from October 24 to 27,
in the Al Farah camp not far from Tubas in the West Bank is the result of long work by activists of the popular resistance (at namely
nonviolent resistance) from the Popular Struggle Coordination Committee (PSCC), Stop The Wall (STW) and independent committees.
Faced with the ferocity of Israeli repression and the division of popular forces, the Palestinian peaceful resistance movement is currently
at an impasse.

Aware of these difficulties, Palestinian activists are now choosing unity in order to define a common strategy, to help the sometimes
isolated committees, and to strengthen ties with the international solidarity movement.

Initially organized independently of the Palestinian Authority (the Palestinian government), officials ultimately had to contend with the
presence of members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), a coalition of parties dominated by Fatah which currently rules the West
Bank. This government takeover of the conference was not without consequences: popular resistance organizations, such as the Youth Against
Settlements (YAS), based in Hebron, refused to maintain their participation. This rejection of the Palestinian Authority, and of its leader
Mahmoud Abbas, accused of corruption, treason and immobility, is today a striking element in Palestinian public opinion.

Nearly 200 participants from twenty or so popular committees finally participated in this conference. Alongside them, around 80
internationals were present, notably from Spain, Italy, France, Scotland, England, Korea and Catalonia.

The flag of Palestine on a colony
If the first day turned out to be very formal with speeches by political and religious representatives and round tables on the perception of
popular resistance by the "   officials   ", the second turned out to be more interesting. 'an activist point of view. Participatory
workshops, mixing Palestinians, Palestinians and internationals, aimed to build the strategy of popular resistance and international
support: what actions for popular resistance  ? ; international law  ; the B oycott D ivestment S anctions (BD...) campaign.

We also discussed the place of women in popular resistance, which is becoming an issue taken into account by activists.

The third day of the conference was devoted to a "  popular action  " which consisted in investing an outpost (wild colony, considered as
illegal including by Israel) in the region of Tubas and raising the Palestinian flag there. Never had such an action been carried out
according to our Palestinian comrades. More than a hundred people participated, many of them from the conference, including many
internationals and anti-colonial Israelis, essential in this kind of initiative.

In fact, in the event of intervention by the occupying army, it is often they who come into contact with the military in order to protect
the escape of Palestinians. Israelis risking little punishment from their own authorities.

This action is part of the new forms of struggle initiated since 2013 in the West Bank. They aim not only to protest but to show the
determination of the Palestinians to reinvest the stolen land. Symbolic action, crowned with success: the Palestinian flag flew on one of
the barracks of this outpost held by extremist settlers.

This demonstration allowed us to become aware of the repression orchestrated by the Israeli army against the Palestinian resistance. Arrived
at the time of the dispersal, followed by several hours of prosecution, attacks and violence against our group of activists.

The result: more than thirty arrests, including nine internationals including five French men and women, Israeli anti-colonialists and of
course Palestinians. Journalists' materials covering the event have been confiscated or destroyed.

On paper, the Palestinian popular resistance comes out reinforced from this conference with a feeling of unification underway. However, the
will to control this movement by the Palestinian Authority constitutes and will constitute a real obstacle for its sustainability.

What international solidarity ?
The Palestinian activists we met, regardless of their party affiliation, are unanimous in their expectations regarding the support that
foreign activists can give them, namely to popularize their cause in our respective countries by all necessary means.: conferences, debates,
broadcasting of films, distribution of leaflets, rallies, etc. In France, pro-Palestinian support now appears divided and aging.

Intensify the BD.. campaign.
While the economic impact for Israel may seem negligible, the cultural boycott is very effective with public opinion, notably with the
campaigns against Eurovision and the partnership between the town halls of Paris and Tel Aviv.

Interpellate the public authorities in France (mayors, deputies, senators, etc.) so that the situation of Palestine continues to occupy
public space.

The Palestinian Popular Resistance Conference was the first step towards building a national and international strategy. This construction
will be achieved if it retains a local, citizen and progressive mode of organization provided that it resists attempts to recover.

Friday,February 7, 2020 ---- THE FRIDAY PARTY! ---- Surprise generated among the participants the complete closure of the perimeter of the
"wall" that protects the church and the police monument in Praça da Dignidade. On Thursday night, a truck and crane arrived to complete the
three-meter-high concrete block enclosure. The new immaculate part of the "wall" was quickly painted with rebellious slogans. Encapuzadxs
stared at the lackeys throwing stones and incendiary bombs over the wall, before the enemy's poor visibility, and the protesters tried to
displace the heavy blocks. ---- The task seemed impossible, however, the decision and ingenuity of the "t-shirt heads" could do more. Making
levers with irons and ropes they reached the goal, and dozens pulled the ropes in unison to bring down the wall. Applause and shouts of
excitement could be heard when the obstacle set by the lackeys collapsed.

On the day with the most competition and clashes of the week, the anarchists did not fail. Anarchist affinity groups hang large
handkerchiefs at GAM, distribute dozens of insurrectional leaflets such as "Ai ferri corti", "The cholera brigade" and "Armed pleasure".
While thousands of pamphlets that call for horizontal organization without leaders or parties are launched in the air, on the walls are seen
hundreds of posters of libertarian tendencies.

At the solidarity meeting organized by the anti-fascist collective Antonio Ramón Ramón, several bags of food, medical supplies and books are
collected for the C aneradoM ulo module 14.

Anonymous, they paste a beautiful mosaic of the black matapacos on a pillar of the GAM. A fire destroys the Violeta Parra Museum and
numerous fire trucks come to smother it. Protesters accuse the police of dropping several tear gas bombs inside the site, starting the fire.
On the street where the museum is located, there were clashes for more than a hundred days without the site being attacked.

In the park and San Borja neighborhood, hooded men set up incendiary barricades and drop molotov bombs on police armored vehicles. They
report that the lackeys fire bullets the size of a golf ball, and a protester was wearing his gas mask destroyed when he received a direct
impact on his face.

The music took possession of the zero zone, from the window of "Radio Dignity" Evelyn Cornejo sang to an audience that appreciated his
voice. A few meters away, at the monument to Manuel Rodriguez, a rock group was playing with an overflowing energy, the place was already
transformed into a classic stage.

On the streets, people start to get excited by the 8M feminist demonstration and strike.

A former employee from the municipality of Providencia reports that she was forced to spy on the demonstrations at Praça da Dignidade. The
function entrusted to him, together with two other employees, was to gather information and photograph "The First Line" and salesmen and
neighbors who helped with the hoods.

Shocking images of bodies are viralized at the "Kayser" facilities; the photographs show the bodies piled on shopping carts. Another proof
that they were killed before and put in place to erase the evidence.

In Concepción, an intervention in the " P arqueJ urássico" provokes laughter and approval. Between the jaws of Tyrannosaurus rex, they put a
dollofPiñera andtracks . In the pterodactyl, it was said: "We were extinguished by natural causes and you by your corrupt system", in
another dinosaur "we won nothing" and another dinosaur was hooded.

In Petorca, the "movement to defend water and the environment" destroys a large underground pipe that steals water from the river, restoring
its natural course. In the sector, thousands of people survive only thanks to the distribution of water in trucks, while the vital liquid is
diverted to the avocado plantations.

Communist Mayor of Recoleta Daniel Jadue is appointed in Pichilemu for shady deals with the mayor of the resort.

In Quilicura, where there used to be a bank, now stands one centers s ocial, where there are several cultural activities.

Regarding prisoners of the Social Revolt, minors Kevin and Mauricio are released after 71 days in prison at SENAME.

LET'S BE THE FIRE OF THE REVOLT! LET'S BE BROTHERS IN WAR!
