Hamburg 14.05. "Rote" Flora Reoccupied By Internationalists

category international | anti-war / imperialism | press release author Wednesday May 15, 2024 15:49author by Internationalist left Report this post to the editors

No peace with the German conditions!

We have come, and we will stay. This house was occupied by people with Kufiya in 1989. In 2024 the Kufiya will return – whether you like it or not!

We bring you two messages:

The first goes to the “Red” Flora: We are not coming to your table. We'll go into the house, do our thing, and if you want, you can talk to us. But your plenum doesn't exist to us.

The second message is: The politics of every house that is not dependent on the German state can and will be determined by migrants and anti-imperialist leftists. Let's throw out the imperial NATO leftists and “anti-German” Israel fetishizers! The time has long since come.

No peace with the German conditions!

We have come, and we will stay. This house was occupied by people with Kufiya in 1989. In 2024 the Kufiya will return – whether you like it or not!

We bring you two messages:

The first goes to the “Red” Flora: We are not coming to your table. We'll go into the house, do our thing, and if you want, you can talk to us. But your plenum doesn't exist to us.

The second message is: The politics of every house that is not dependent on the German state can and will be determined by migrants and anti-imperialist leftists. Let's throw out the imperial NATO leftists and “anti-German” Israel fetishizers! The time has long since come.

You have shut us – anti-imperialist leftists, Palestinians, critical Jews, left-wing Israelis, Muslims – up for over 20 years. Not only that – you have been inciting against us. Your event calendars have been cleansed of Palestinian, Arab and Jewish voices that do not correspond to your philo-anti-Semitic world view. Your cronies have even attacked Esther Bejarano, Auschwitz survivor, Hamburg socialist and Anti-Zionist, with their completely twisted, abused term of Anti-Semitism. We will not forgive you for that. And what you've known for a long time but don't admit to yourselves: Turkish, British, Italian, Swedish comrades – everywhere outside Germany just shake their heads when they hear about you.

Yes, there are groups worth of supporting in the “Red” Flora, as far as we know mainly migrant and feminist groups. We will fight together with them. They have also long since joined our demonstrations. We believe they are a strong minority in the “Red” Flora. Some of them don't dare to speak up – a repressive atmosphere that the cliques that set the tone in this building have been producing for decades! Of course we want to reach the marginalized internationalists. We would also like to encourage visitors who have nothing to do with the “anti-German“ ideology to speak freely and take a clear stand against war and racism. Dare to seek and win the struggle!

But we say to the hegemonic “Anti-Germans” in the “Red” Flora and also to the “Interventionist Left” (IL): This will not be an Oslo for you! We will not discuss your Kufiya ban with you. We will not discuss with you the legitimacy of the flag of Palestine, nor the legitimacy of the red flag. The “Anti-Germans” will leave because they don't want to breathe the same air as Muslims, Palestinians and other damned of the earth. The “IL” will insist, with the most disgusting hypocrisy, on coming to their table and „reaching a solution together”.

You have never – not once, neither as an organization nor as individuals – demonstrated with us. Not once did you stand with us against the genocide and its economic follow-up plans, which are covered up by German imperialism because they are highly profitable for German corporations. You have not even said a word about it! What you are doing in this matter means a cross-front for the German raison d'état.

While our parents, our siblings were being torn apart by bombs, starved or put in administrative detention, also under the auspices of the German government, you were “organizing” rave parties and producing Instagram photos for your white radical chic. At best, in your abstinence from our demonstrations, you have advocated left-liberal positions such as higher taxes for the rich – even that only half-heartedly. But you remain silent about the German state and the brutal enforcement of its imperial interests. You seriously put your trust into this state and into the bourgeois media who tell you that it is about combating Anti-Semitism and a historical obligation because of Auschwitz. This is an insult to the victims and survivors!

We say it with Primo Levi: Your children shall turn their faces away from you!

Who are we?

We are hundreds of organized people here in Hamburg. The genocide in Gaza has brought us together. We are thousands here in Hamburg who need a house and the means of production to raise the necessary funds for legal aid and migration lawyers. There are tens of thousands of us here in Hamburg who need a place to go if we want to organize ourselves, especially as migrants. And we are hundreds of thousands who know that fascism is coming. We know that we urgently need houses where we no longer have to beg for venues and hope that we won't be turned down at the last minute.

There are many more practical reasons – more on that in the coming weeks.

Above all, however, we now need a place where Palestinians and Arabs, internationalists and Muslim and Jewish leftists can finally speak and gather freely again without being attacked by the Springer “Antifa”.

If you are not interested in the fight against US and NATO imperialism in the Middle East – like everywhere else in the world – then get the fuck out of our houses!

And we hereby also call on all musicians to join us at events in places where Danger Dan was recently allowed to let off his German emotional scream. Hany, K.I.Z, 42 and all those uninvited: Build counterculture with us!

We are sending out a signal to all cities. Take what's yours! The time of the perpetrators' grandson “Antifas” is over. Their groups have disintegrated, their fighting power has waned. There are too many of us!

Palestine does not divide the left in Germany. Palestine breathes new life into it!

Ve‘ein Shalom
Kein Frieden mit den deutschen Zuständen!

Wir sind gekommen, und wir bleiben. Dieses Haus wurde 1989 von Menschen mit Kufiya besetzt. 2024 kommt die Kufiya zurück – ob euch das passt oder nicht!

Wir bringen euch zwei Nachrichten:
Die erste geht an die „Rote“ Flora: Wir kommen nicht an euren Tisch. Wir gehen in das Haus, machen unsere Sache, und wenn ihr wollt, könnt ihr mit uns reden. Aber euer Plenum gibt es für uns nicht.
Die zweite Nachricht ist: Die Politik jedes Hauses, das nicht vom deutschen Staat abhängig ist, kann und wird durch Migranten und antiimperialistische Linke bestimmt werden. Schmeißen wir die imperialen NATO-Linken und „antideutschen“ Israel-Fetischisierer raus! Es ist längst an der Zeit.

Ihr habt uns – antiimperialistischen Linken, Palästinensern, kritischen Juden, linken Israelis, Muslimen – seit über 20 Jahren den Mund verboten. Nicht nur das – ihr habt gegen uns gehetzt. Eure Veranstaltungskalender sind gesäubert von palästinensischen, arabischen und jüdischen Stimmen, die nicht eurem philoantisemitischen Weltbild entsprechen. Mit dessen komplett verdrehter, missbrauchter Antisemitismus-Vokabel haben eure Gesinnungskumpanen sogar Esther Bejarano, Auschwitz-Überlebende, Hamburger Sozialistin und Antizionistin, angegriffen. Das werden wir euch nicht verzeihen. Und was ihr längst wisst, euch aber nicht eingesteht: Türkische, britische, italienische, schwedische Genossen – überall außerhalb Deutschlands schütteln alle nur mit dem Kopf, wenn sie von euch hören.

Ja, es gibt vernünftige Gruppen in der „Roten“ Flora, unseres Wissens nach hauptsächlich migrantische und feministische. Mit ihnen werden wir gemeinsam kämpfen. Sie haben sich auch längst unseren Demonstrationen angeschlossen. Wir glauben, sie stellen eine starke Minderheit in der „Roten“ Flora dar. Einige trauen sich auch nicht, den Mund aufzumachen – eine repressive Atmosphäre, die die Ton angebenden Cliquen dieses Hauses nun seit Dekaden produzieren! Die ausgegrenzten Internationalisten wollen wir selbstverständlich erreichen. Auch Besucher, die mit der „antideutschen“ Ideologie nichts anfangen können, möchten wir ermutigen, frei zu sprechen und sich klar gegen Krieg und Rassismus zu positionieren. Traut euch, die Auseinandersetzung zu suchen und zu gewinnen!

Aber den in der „Roten“ Flora hegemonialen „Antideutschen“ und auch den „Interventionistischen Linken“ (IL) sagen wir: Das wird kein Oslo für euch! Wir werden nicht mit euch diskutieren über euer Kufiya-Verbot. Wir werden nicht mit euch diskutieren über die Legitimität der Fahne Palästinas, und auch nicht über die Legitimität der roten Fahne. Die „Antideutschen“ werden gehen, weil sie nicht die gleiche Luft atmen wollen wie Muslime, Palästinenser und andere Verdammte dieser Erde. Die „IL“ wird mit widerlichster Heuchelei darauf beharren, an ihren Tisch zu kommen und „gemeinsam“ zu einer „Lösung“ zu gelangen.

Ihr habt nie – kein einziges Mal, weder als Organisation noch als Einzelpersonen – mit uns demonstriert. Kein einziges Mal habt ihr mit uns gegen den vom deutschen Imperialismus gedeckten und für deutsche Konzerne hochprofitablen Genozid und seine ökonomischen Folgepläne gestanden. Nicht einmal ein Wort habt ihr darüber verloren! Was ihr in dieser Frage macht, bedeutet Querfront für die deutsche Staatsräson.

Während unsere Eltern, unsere Geschwister von Bomben zerfetzt, ausgehungert oder in Administrativhaft gesteckt wurden, auch unter der Schirmherrschaft der deutschen Regierung, habt ihr Rave-Parties „organisiert“ und Instagram-Fotos für euren white radical chic produziert. Im besten Fall habt ihr in eurer Abstinenz von unseren Demonstrationen linksliberale Positionen vertreten wie höhere Steuern für Reiche – selbst das nur halbherzig. Aber zum deutschen Staat und zur brutalen Durchsetzung seiner imperialen Interessen schweigt ihr. Ihm und den bürgerlichen Medien kauft ihr allen Ernstes ab, es gehe um Antisemitismusbekämpfung und eine historische Verpflichtung wegen Auschwitz. Das ist eine Beleidigung für die Opfer und Überlebenden!

Wir sagen es mit Primo Levi: Eure Kinder sollen das Antlitz von euch wenden!

Wer sind wir?
Wir sind Hunderte von Organisierten hier in Hamburg. Uns hat der Genozid in Gaza zusammengeführt. Wir sind Tausende hier in Hamburg, die ein Haus und die Produktionsmittel brauchen, um die nötigen Gelder für Rechtshilfe und Migrationsanwälte zu erwirtschaften. Wir sind Zehntausende hier in Hamburg, die eine Anlaufstelle brauchen, wenn wir uns, vor allem als Migranten, organisieren wollen. Und wir sind Hunderttausende, die wissen, dass der Faschismus kommt. Wir wissen, dass wir dringend Häuser brauchen, in denen wir nicht mehr um Veranstaltungsorte betteln und hoffen müssen, dass wir nicht in letzter Minute eine Absage bekommen.

Es gibt noch eine ganze Menge mehr an praktischen Gründen – dazu in den nächsten Wochen.
Vor allem aber brauchen wir jetzt einen Ort, an dem Palästinenser und arabische Menschen, Internationalisten sowie muslimische und jüdische Linke endlich wieder frei sprechen und sich versammeln können, ohne von der Springer-„Antifa“ attackiert zu werden.

Wenn euch der Kampf gegen den US- und NATO-Imperialismus im Nahen und Mittleren Osten – wie überall auf der Welt – nicht interessiert, dann verpisst euch aus unseren Häusern!

Und wir rufen hiermit auch alle Musiker dazu auf, mit uns dort Veranstaltungen zu machen, wo Danger Dan noch vor Kurzem sein deutsches Befindlichkeitsgeseier ablassen durfte. Hany, K.I.Z, 42 und alle Ausgeladenen: Baut mit uns Gegenkultur auf!

Wir senden ein Signal aus an alle Städte. Holt euch, was euch gehört! Die Zeit der Täterenkel-„Antifas“ ist abgelaufen. Ihre Gruppen sind zerfallen, ihre Kampfkraft ist erlahmt. Wir sind zu viele!

Palästina spaltet nicht die Linke in Deutschland. Palästina haucht ihr neues Leben ein!
