Freedom Flotilla Update

An exciting interview with Dimitri Lascaris from the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. The Flotilla participants are fighting for authorization to sail, in the face of Israeli efforts to cancel the aid convoy. Dimitri also discusses the surprise arrest of the Green Party Presidential Candidate Jill Stein, who was manhandled by cops at Washington University during an action for Palestine. According to Lascaris, the establishment, and supporters of Israel, are trying to create a political environment wherein it is possible to brutalize peaceful protestors for Gaza. This has become a simple matter of conscience at this moment, and it's not just about Israel. "This has first and foremost become a Western genocide." As a lawyer, Dimitri also explains the diplomatic necessity behind Iran's retaliatory strike against Israel: it is not possible to allow governments like Israel to attack embassies with impunity, as happened on April 1. Israel's own retaliation to Iran's response remains nebulous, in which Israel will not own up to what it did or didn't do. It was actually the U.S. that spoke on behalf of its dependent, Israel. Israel's regional adversaries are watching, and seeing how Iran hit the most well-defended military base in the region. If Israel had learned how to co-exist and compromise, it would be much more secure now.

WINGS#03-24 Red Rosa (Mayday Special)

Rosa Luxemburg was one of the most influential political theorists of her day. She lived from 1871 until 1919, when she was assassinated by the newly-elected socialist government of Germany. Luxemburg had written that socialism by gradual reform of the capitalist-oriented system would never provide for the needs of workers, that only revolution could do the job. She was strongly in favour of the innovation of May First as International Labour Day. In many countries, it's still a national holiday - but it originated as a day for workers across the globe to stop work and show their collective power. Luxemburg's life was complicated, but one author boiled it down to a popular book, Red Rosa: A Graphic Biography of Rosa Luxemburg. Here are excerpts from an interview with the author/illustrator of that book, cartoonist Kate Evans - courtesy of Mitchel Cohen of community radio WBAI in New York City.

NU Divest From Genocide Encampment

NU students set up a protest encampment Thursday morning demanding that the University divest from Israel and War related research. Motivated by the silence of their university Administration to call for a Cease Fire in Gaza and its complicity with other academic institutions in the on going genocide that makes them complicit as well. They set up their encampment in Deering Meadow in front of the NU library early Thursday morning. They were soon accosted with impromptu administration prohibitions and then Campus Police who were described as aggressive when confronting the students and their supporters who included faculty. The encampment was shortly reestablished by students, expanded and drew in more supporters from campus and the community. When I arrived a 3:30 pm the crowd in the meadow was several hundred students plus community members. Given corporate and Zionist media are distorting student rejection of genocide and their forced complicity, due to the University's preoccupation with money over their student's moral integrity, students were not willing to be recorded. I ended up speaking with a community member, a family therapist, who was observing from the edge of the encampment and then recorded the Imam who addressed the crowd. He was the Muslim Students cultural Association’s Spring speaker scheduled to speak that evening at a different location but was invited by organizers to address the encampment. His talk was about struggle for justice and solidarity with the oppressed. Explaining the meaning of Jihad, he informed the students that in its full sense, "to struggle with a praiseworthy aim" they were engaged in jihad in their demands of the University Administration, calling for an end to its silence on genocide and divestment from Israel and weapons corporations and war research. "Help your brother, help your sister; be they the oppressor or the oppressed" he related to the crowd. The rally that followed was a Passover Seder organized by SJP, JVP, and Tzedek Chicago members. #1 Family Therapist #2 Imam Adeyinka Mendes
