   Dedicating this weekend to the cop who went through like three hundred naked selfies on my cellphone because the antiD randomly accused us of photographing them, after they tried and failed to intimidate us through direct confrontation. (Yes Zionist "antifa" don't hesitate to call the cops.)

     My heart also to the white-haired German grandma who covered herself in text-heavy signs and flags and stuff and also took a silent stand, sandwitched in a grass patch between the Zionists and the general demo who asked her to stay out because of "no national flags". I tried to invite her to come with our AG but with my bad German she must have misunderstood my practical concerns, because she responded in a high register: "I stand here because I am a human being, and as a human being I cannot stay silent. If I oppose the Nazis I must oppose all oppression..." Her resolve was unshakable. If you keep an eye open you find people like this everywhere, in Germany too. Not everyone is willing to maintain wilful denial or prioritise narrative over basic humanity.

     I wish more people in the anti-Nazi demo were explicitly connecting Jewish liberation to Palestinian liberation (including me who prepared no signs, this is self-criticism). Elsewhere in Germany the Jewish dissident community remains combative and vocal, despite their recently increased criminalisation as self-hating anti-semities by gentile German politicians, and they protested the cooptation of Nov 9 remembrance; I'm confident Jews will never let pass the instrumentalisation of Jewish history for Israeli propaganda purposes.

     No but for real, dedicating this weekend to the 02 (two) women who took a silent stand with Palestinian symbols and refused to move despite the pressure from cops and Zionist antifa men double their size. One of the women wore a hijab and I can only imagine, like it's easy for me to be brave when I can out-thug any gringos (and I did just that until they went away), but a small immigrant woman with 1 ally in between 900 Ultradeutsche and a stream of riot cops on horses, both hostile?

     But I have to imagine she must feel the way I feel all the time these days, which is: Would I be able to look in the eyes of a Gaza prisoner being bombed and say, sorry I did nothing I was afraid of… uh, German prisons? Shouty Mackers? Deportation? Indymedia callouts?
