On January 17, 2009, the AKA Autonomous Social Centre presents “Maccabees Stand with Gaza” – a dance show and fundraiser to support the efforts of Anarchists Against the Wall.
DJ Grenadier will be playing a mix of klezmer funk, semitic soul, and intifada hip-hop.
As the massacre on Gaza and the dehumanizing Occupation of the West Bank continues, we stand in solidarity with those resisting colonial power. Through direct action and support of the Palestinian led popular non violent resistance movement, Anarchists Against the Wall (AATW) are working to stop construction of Israel’s “Separation Wall,” a key element of the ongoing dispossession and genocide of the Palestinian people.
All funds from Maccabees Stand with Gaza go to the cross-Turtle Island AATW fundraising tour which stops at the AKA Autonomous Social Centre in Kingston on February 23, 2008. Shachaf Polokow will facilitate a workshop about the Israeli anarchist movement and solidarity with Palestinians. Resistance to the Wall has been met with severe (and sometimes lethal) violence and repression from the Israeli state, especially against Palestinian demonstrators. Money from the tour will be go toward legal fees for Palestinians and Israelis arrested or detained at actions against the Occupation.
