(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL - PS The cops have failed to silence the street!

Manuel Valls did not want a show of support for Palestine in Paris? There have been many! 
---- Valls government wanted to ban the Paris demonstration scheduled for this Saturday, 
July 19 in support of occupied Palestine. The reason? So-called "excesses" in the previous 
event in Paris which, however, were caused directly by the Jewish Defense League (JDL), a 
group of far-right battle. The truth is, in reality, the government has taken sides: the 
executioners. ---- But we can not help to express solidarity. Metro Barb?s, this Saturday 
at the appointed hour, thousands of people were at the rendezvous. In the crowd, alongside 
many Palestinian flags, flags fluttered NPA Alternative libertarian and Ensemble. The 
Trade Union Solidarity was also there, as well as activists FA and major groups to support 
the Palestinian cause (GUPS, Generation Palestine ...).

In front of us, hordes of robocops prohibiting departure event.

Tired of being immobilized and the crowd is then part event timer, up the Boulevard 
Barb?s. As soon as she had made a few tens of meters as the crowd was blocked by police, 
up to the Chateau Rouge metro again. The first firing of tear gas were quick. But they 
have failed to provoke the departure of several smaller events in the adjacent streets.

Libertarian alternative, for its part, market with hundreds of people who have climbed 
Montmartre, until you reach the Sacred Heart a few hundred. The streets of the hill 
resounded all along slogans to free Palestine! Since the Sacred heart, anticolonial then 
restarted wild that the police, despite its efforts, has been unable to stop event.

Soon rise to about 2,000 people, the protest has to again blocked by riot police. She then 
borrowed boulevards Magenta Strasbourg and Sevastopol, swelling up to 3000 people in a 
vindictive and serene atmosphere both. It is dispersed once reached the Halles-Chatelet. 
Suffice to say that we did get our message widely solidarity, probably even more than if 
the province had granted us the traditional route Bastille-Nation!

Meanwhile, at Barb?s, where some militants AL remained, it turned into a riot, with 
missile throwing, police shootings Flash-ball, fire fighting and garbage into the evening. 
Thirty-three arrests were reported.

At this stage, it is important to clarify, both in the wild Barb?s event Semitic 
projections were few and isolated. The collective intelligence of the crowd, his 
self-discipline in a tense situation, however, were impressive. Here, a bewildered 
brandishing a pineapple [ 1 ] before being snubbed; , a young making a quenelle 
immediately causing the intervention of manifestant.es explaining the real meaning of his 
gesture, and why he had nothing to do here. On another note, some have claimed exalted 
here and there "Allahu akbar" without anyone to follow them.

In the rest of the Hexagon, solidarity is also expressed in the street as thousands of 
people marched in Marseille, Tours, etc..

More than ever, express our solidarity with the Palestinians and palestiennes. Demand the 
end of the Israeli offensive against the Gaza Strip!

More than ever, denounce the complicit attitude of the French government vis-?-vis the 
crimes of the Israeli government!

Manifestant.es of Alternative libertarian, Saturday, July 19


[ 1 ] The pineapple is the symbol of the song girls Holocaust, created by Dieudonn? to 
turn the Holocaust into derision. It has become a sign of recognition of the extreme right 
dieudonniste.
