Palestinian Land Day
Land Day is celebrated by Palestinians annually on March 30. On that day in 1976, Palestinian citizens of Israel revolted against the attempts of the ruling authorities to expropriate and colonize large parts of their land around six villages in the Galilee. Palestinians declared a general strike and organized marches in various Arab cities, where violent confrontations with the police broke out, resulting in six martyrs among the demonstrators. Since then, March 30 has been marked as a national day on which Palestinians show unity and intention to defend their land and their attachment to their national identity.
Film: «Yom El Ard»
Yom El Ard recounted the events of that day and documented the first anniversary activities. It contains interviews with victims of violence, mayors of the affected villages and shows rarely seen footage from that era. When viewed decades later, one can see how Israeli policy in the Galilee was an earlier version of what the military occupation, together with the Israeli settler movement, would implement in the West Bank and East Jerusalem over the following decades.
Poor farmers’ struggle for land in Brazil
In Brazil, poor farmers are fighting for the land. They organize themselves in the Confederation of Poor Farmers (LCP). In Brazil, there is widespread hunger, while imperialist countries such as Norway and landowners exploit the country’s resources. The poor farmers are fighting for the land of those who work it, but for this they are attacked and murdered. Now they describe that there are states of war in the countryside. In the midst of this struggle, the poor farmers have also raised the flag of Palestine because the Palestinians are also fighting for the land for and against imperialism, and this gives them hope and courage to continue the struggle. We will share more information about the struggle of poor farmers and how we as anti-imperialists can support this struggle.
Boikott Israel!
Fritt Palestina!!
