About three thousand people participated in the demonstration on Friday,
September 5, in support of initiatives to help the people of Gaza, whichconcluded with a symbolic blockade of the port. The collection of basic
necessities to be sent to Gaza was a resounding success, and the
demonstration also sparked controversy with the local CGIL (Italian
General Confederation of Labour), which had issued a national statement
without mentioning the fact that the local demonstration was called by
various movements, trade unions, and political groups under the umbrella
of Livorno per la Palestina (Livorno for Palestine). The Livorno
Anarchist Federation did not participate directly, but rather as part of
the Livorno antimilitarist coordination.
Below is the statement we released:
Stop the genocide in Gaza
Stop the war
Stop everything
The powerful and the governments want to turn the world into a vast
expanse of rubble and death. Everyone has their eyes on Gaza because
Gaza represents the world. Because what we see today in Palestine
clearly shows us the lengths to which the military machine of the state
and capital can go to assert its dominance, wiping out entire populations.
For this reason, the Livorno Anarchist Federation will support immediate
strike initiatives and citizen mobilizations should the Global Sumud
Flotilla be prevented from delivering its cargo of food and humanitarian
aid to Gaza.
Only through united and self-organized struggle, independent of union
bureaucracies and party secretariats, can concrete objectives be
achieved in opposition to the war and in international solidarity.
