Charlotte Kates: “We support the resistance, and we will build our resistance here!”

May we all be as principled and brave as Samidoun Palestinian Political Prisoner Network’s International Coordinator Charlotte Kates.

Here she is speaking at a rally in 2006: 

“Around the world, in the name of Palestine, in the name of Lebanon, in the name of the Palestinian resistance, in the name of Hezbollah, in the name of the people of Iraq…We today say, these are our troops, our freedom fighters, and we support them! We support them, and we will build our resistance here.”

From Unity of Fields’ solidarity statement about Samidoun’s phony “terrorist” designation:

“Samidoun, a longtime target of state repression and liberal zionist counterinsurgency from within the movement, is a principled and unyielding international voice for thousands of Palestinian political prisoners…

Anti-imperialist forces must rigorously adapt our strategies to this new phase of repression. It is more crucial than ever to voice support for the resistance because the more of us that do, the harder it is for the state to divide and disorganize us…

We must affirm the righteousness of the Axis of Resistance, and also the righteousness of militant resistance in the imperial core…

An attack on one of us is an attack on us all.

We are all Samidoun!

Abolish the “terrorist” lists!

Let repression breed more resistance.
